at the home of Miss Meroe Morse.
The program for the afternoon be-
gan by short reviews of books re-
Gently read by the members of the

ter gave a very interesting review of
a book on the life of Kate Douglas
Wiggin which she has recently read.
Mrs. A. f. Drummond read some let
tiers written 100 years ago at the time
of the making of the Erie canal.
This man was going from Maine to
work on the canal. The language of
the letters was fine and not so stilted
as many of those of the olden time.
Some articles of clothing for his wife
to which he referred was of interest
to the ladies indicating the kind of
dress goods worn at that time and
the kind of shoes.
The methods of travel and the time
ocupieed in going from Maine to
Ohio by this gentleman and his wife
at a later date was interesting in
comparison with the present day.
The hostesses for the afternoon,
Miss Morse, Mrs. Frank Goodridge,
Mrs. Nora Thayer and Mrs. Anna
Drummond served delicious and am
pie refreshments of sandwiches, cake
and coffee and nuts.
Tickets are now on sale for the

Plans Already
Being Made for
Central Maine Fair

Plans are already being formu-
lated to make the Central Maine
Fair next fall the best exhibition of
its kind that has ever been staged
here. The fair is to be of five days
duration, starting August 81 and
coming to a close September 4.
On the last day. Saturday, there
is to be complete program of auto
racing which will be sure to bring
out large crowd. The racers are
to be the same as those who gave
the fans such thrills at Brockton
last fall and they represent the
cream of the country.
Free attractions, eight in number.
are to be furnished by the firm of
Wirth and Hamid, which has never
been here before. AS yet no shows
for the midway have been engaged.
A rumor that will have strong ap-
peal to all the people of Central
Maine is that the general admission
charge to the grounds is to be con-
siderably lowered this year.
On next July 4 the fair directors
are to sponsor a racing program at
the fairgrounds. Liberal purses are
to be offered and the day will be
one long to be remembered.

Lions Club Hears
Speaker on Life
OF Circus EmplOye

Harry Pendergast of this city, last
summer a member of the band OF
the Sells Floto circus, was the speak
er at. the regular meeting OF the
Waterville Lions Club at the Elm
wood hotel. Mr.. Pendergast is
member of the club. and his talk
was heard with much interest.
In opening Mr.. Pendergast ex-
planned that the circus with which
he was connected was the second
largest in the world and that its win
ter quarters are in Peru, Indiana,
representing an area IL miles long
and three miles wide. In the win
ter this is used as the headquarters
of the circus while in the summer 1t
is employed as a huge farm and
foodstuffs are raised for the many
animals.
The speaker dwelt at length on the
romantic life of the circus, saying
that it was here today and gone to-
morrow. He explained the daily
program of circus life in a very in
teresting way, starting at the time
when the first train rolled into a
town and continuing until the time
that the last train had left at night.
Last summer, Mr.. Pendergast ssaid,
the circus. authorities attempted to
abandon the time honored parade
but this was found impossible as the
circus could not get permission to
perform in many communities unless
it at first promised to give parade.
OF the financial end of the circus
activities the speaker had much to
say. In the three weeks that II was
in Chicago last spring there were
26S, 900 paid. admissions, which, rep
resented an enormous amount OF
money. The profits are cut deeply
into by the great expense that has
to be borne and he cited the fact
that it is necessary each year to Sc
cure a new tent at a cost OF some
$4,000. Another large item Of ex-
pense is the animals, especially the
horses.
During the season that he was
with the circus Mr.. Pendergast trav-
elled some 1900 miles, going
through % states. More than 200
stops were made, being on an aver
age SO miles apart.
In conclusion Mr.. Pendergast said
that Of all the states he had travelled
through he liked Maine the best and
that he was glad to be back within
her borders.

Clubs left yesterday on the annual
Massachusetts trip which will carry
them through the greater <rt or that
state. Five concerts are on the sched-
ule and the clubs will play every night
this week except Friday. Manager
Wassell has made all the arrangements
for a successful trip and with the
elaborate. program which has been ar
ranged for the various audiences the
trip should be one Of the finest for
some years. Several new stars have
been added to the list of entertainers
and will improve the club to a great
extent. The Massachusetts, trip has
been one of the biggest features of the
musical season for the combined clubs
and without doubt this years trip will
be equally as brilliant as those OF the
past. Due to the fact that a trip
through New York state is contemplate
ed later in the season, the trip through
the Hub was arranged for an earlier
date than it has formerly been.

makeup tables and stones neces-

type cabinets have also been added
as a part of the new equipment,
while many new faces of newspap-
er and job printing type have al
so gone into the equipment pro-
gram The new saw which is used
to cut the slugs to fit the adVer-
tisements, as they emerge from the
typesetting machines will be locat-
ed convenient to the Linotypes and
to the makeup tables. Here also
are sawed to size the stereotype
cuts used in illustrating the adVer-
tisements, as. well as the picture
cuts used in the news columns.
From the makeup tables the
forms when finally completed and
ready to go to the press are moved
to a proofing stone where a final
proof is pulled and after OK
from the editorial offices the pap
er then goes to press, the work
all the while following along a line
beginning at the editorial offices
to the linotype machines, makeup
tables, etc, until the forms reach
the press. This means that there
is no "back tracking during the
process of making up the pages.
In the job printing department
similar feature exists. With
practically all of the job types on
the linotypes, excepting few IAN
cy faces not very often used, the
work travels along from the make
up tables to the job presses, bat
terry of which have been Installed
on the west side of the building.
Ahead of the job presses are 10
Gated the paper cutters and adJac-
ent to the job paper-stock shelves
which have been built-in and are
dust proof From the makeup
tables the job forms travel to the
job presses where the press runs
are made and if a job requires any
bindery operation, it then moves
along to the bindery department
which has been located adjacent
to the presses. The bindery equip
ment included paper punches, wire
stitchers, perfOrators, and in fact
everything necessary for the pro-
duction of first class job in rec
ord time.
At the far end of the building
behind the bindery department
comes the metal stereotyping room
and this has been located directly
over the furnace room, where the
heating plant for the new building
is located. In the stereOtyping
room there are located two stereO-
typing machines where all cuts to
be used are cast into plates from
mats furnished The Mail by sever
al of the most up to date advertis-
ing and feature syndicates. Here
also is located the metal furnace
used in remelting the linotype slugs
/ which have already been run eth
er in the paper or in job work
back into pigs to be used over
again in the linotype machines.
In the basement is located the
heating plant and from here will
radiate steam pipes to all parts Ct
the building, for the new Mail
! building has been incorporated
one Of the most modern steam
heating systems in vogue, guaran-
teeing an even temperature at all

In the rear of the building will
be located the paper warehouse,
where the big rolls Of paper to be
used in printing the paper on the
new Duplex press will be stored.
This room will be size 16 "a and
will be built of concrete, making
it absolutely fire-proof as well as
moisture proof.

stick of wood was used, with eX-

side windows in the work-rooms,
are of steel frame and factory glass

and are practically fire-proof.
In front, the glass is, of course,
heavy plate glass.
The upper stories containing the
Hotel Howell are treated in another
story in these columns and any
mention here as to construction
would be mere repitition. Suffice
it to say, however, that the new

duplicated in class and nature OF
construction anywhere in Northern
Arizona and is a credit to this part
Of the state.

The balance of the building has
