Mary A. Cook. Her home over since her

marriage had been in Veazie or Bangor. Her husband, Dauforth L. Clark, died about twenty years ago. She leaves two sons—Charles L. and Kent Clark, of Ban-

gor, and one daughter — Mrs. Mary E.

Marston, of Lisbon. She is survived, by two brothers and two sisters — James L. Cook and Mrs. Charles W. Mason, of Ells- i worth; Henry Cook, of Everett, Mass., and Mrs. Charles Stevens, of Belfast.

Rebecca M., widow of John M. Hale, jr., and a highly-esteemed former resident of

Ellsworth, died Sunday evening at her home at Hancock Point, aged eighty-four years. Mrs. Hale was a native of Cherry- field, her maiden name being Rebecca M.

Campbell, but for the greater part of *her life she lived in Ellsworth, where her husband wTas prominent in business. Mr. Hale died in 1897. For the past few* years Mrs. Hale had made her home at Hancock Point, where she was devotedly cared for

by her daughter, Miss Katherine M. Hale, her only surviving child. She leaves also four sisters and two brothers—Mrs. Emily D. Ricker, Mrs. Martha Patten, Charles and Frank Campbell, all of Cherry field; Mrs. W. H. Dresser, of Yarmouthville, and Mrs. Eliza Hunt, of Allston, Mass. Fu- neral services were held at Hancock Point this forenoon, the remains being brought to Ellsworth for interment at Woodbine cemetery.

At the meeting of the stockholders of the Blood Knitting Mills, held last Satur- day, a committee was appointed to de- vise a method by which the business of the company could be continued. The

committee will report at an adjourned meeting to be held Saturday, the 13th, at 2 p. m., at the office of the company, and it is earnestly desired that all stockhold- ers be preeent, as business of importance, both to the company and to the com-

munity, will be transacted. The prelimi- nary committee reporting last Saturday, submitted a detailed report on the affairs of the company. As was expected, the mill showed a considerable loss the first year, due largely to additions to the plant, and to inexperienced help. For the sec-

ond year the mill made a better showing, with a larger output from the same num-

ber of hands as they became more efficient, but plant additions still left the balance on the wrong side of the ledger. The com-

mittee found no reason why the mill could not be successfully operated here, pro- vided sufficient additional capital can be secured. _

NORTH SULLIVAN SUICIDE.

Young Man Shoots Himself After a

Lovers’ Quarrel. Verner Dockham, aged twenty years,

of North Sullivan, committed suicide last night by shooting, after a lovers’ quarrel. The body was found lying in the highway this morning, a bullet wound in the temple and a revolver, with but one chamber dis- charged, in the road beside it. Death must have been instantaneous.

In the first excitement of the discovery of the body, someone suggested murder. Sheriff Silsby was summoned, and with Coroner L. W. Jordan, hurried to Sulli- van to investigate. They found it clearly a case of suicide, and Coroner Jordan de- cided an inquest unnecessary. A note written by the young man to his mother confirmed the suicide theory.

Young Dockham had been attentive to Miss Eva Piper for some time. Last even-

ing they attended the moving-picture theatre together, and returned to the girl's home. There was a quarrel, the youug lady declared she would not marry him, and the young man declared he would shoot himself.

He left the house near midnight. A short time afterward Miss Piper heard a revolv r shot, but even then did not be- lieve Dockham had carried out his threat, thinking the shot was tired to frighten her. She said nothing about it, and made no investigation.

The body was found only four or five rods from the Piper home, and about the same distance from the house of a neigh- bor, Bragdou, who discovered the body this morning.

Dockham was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dockham."

Sudden Death at Surry. Edward W. Cousins, a well-known resi-

dent of Surry, was found dead in his pasture last Friday, ids face lying in a shallow spring. Coroner E. W. Jordan was summoned. While there was a small quantity of water in the lungs, and he pronounced death due to drowming, Coro- ner Jordan thinks the real cause of death was a heart attack, Mr. Cousins having' been in poor health for some time. No inquest was ''eemed necessary.

Mr. Cot. .is was sixty-four years of age. He was a blacksmith by trade, and conducted a shop in Surry village many years, later moving it to near his home, where he worked until failing health pre- vented. He leaves a widow and two adopted children.

SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson XI.—Second Quarter, For

June 14, 1914.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.

Text ef the Lesson, Luke xviii, 9-14; xix, 1-10—Memory Verses, 19, 10—Golden

I Text, Mark ii, 17—Commentary Pre-

pared by Rev. O. M. Stearns.

Perhaps there are no people more

difficult to deal with or to live with than those who, like the Pharisees,

pride themselves upon their own right- eousness. which in the sight of God is

only as filthy rags (Isa. Ixlv, 6) and can

In no case entitle one to enter the king- dom (Matt, v, 20). The righteousness which is required by God must be ab- solutely perfect, an unbroken law, for “whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point be is guilty of all” (Jas. ii. 10). The law is so

holy and righteous that no Binful man

can keep it. and it was never intended to give life, but to prove our guilt, shut our mouths and lead us to Christ, who Is God’s perfect righteousness and the end of the law for righteousness to fcvery one that believeth.

There is no Saviour or salvation for a righteous man in the Bible—that is, for such as think themselves righteous —but only for sinners.

In connection with the murmuring of the Pharisees when our Lord called Matthew or Levi, the publican, and ievi made Him n feast in his own

house, at which a great company of

publicans and others were present, our

Lord said; "They that are whole need

not a physician, hut they that are sick.

J came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance" (Luke v, 31,32).

UIl auoiuer uitbmuu ue emu wv# uio

chief priests and elders, ••Verily I say unto you that the publicans and the harlots go Into the kingdom of God tie- fore yon" (Matt, xxi. 23, 31). To this day there are churchgoers and church members who, “being Ignorant of God's righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto

the righteousness of God" (Rom. x, 3). It is Indeed a fearful thing to be sat-

isfied with oneself and have no convic- tion of sin. In the first part of our les- son today the Pharisee did not pray to

God. did not ask God for anything, did not seem to need anything, but prayed with himself and told God what a good man he was and how much good he did and how thankful he was that he was not a bad man nor even like that publican. Truly he was well satisfied with his righteous self. The publican had no goodness to prove his right- eousness, nothing good to say of him- self, but he did have a consciousness of his own sinfulness, and from his heart he said, ‘God be merciful to me, a sinner.” In the margin of the re-

vised version it is, "God be propitiated to me. the sinner.” Weymouth has It, “O God, be reconciled to me, sinner that I am.” The Lord Jesus Christ, who reads all hearts, the only Saviour of sinners, the only Judge of all men, said that the publican went to his home justified.

I like the definition of Justification which I learned in Sunday school when I was a boy, and. If I remember cor-

rectly, It read thus: ••Justification Is an act of God's free grace, wherein He pardoneth all our sins and accepteth us as righteous In His sight only for the righteousness of Christ, Imputed unto us and received by faith alone."

in me second part ox our lesson we

hare a rich publican who had a desire to see Jesus, and. though he did not seem to hare the san» conviction of sin as the poor publican, he. too, w«i welcomed and saved. He was a prom- inent man. chief among the publicans. He was not prominent as to his phys- ical appearance, for he was little of stature. He was not what one might call dignified, for he ran and climbed up Into a tree. His thought evidently was to see without being seen. How surprised beyond measure be must have been to see Jesus look up and to hear Him call him by name and to hear Him say, “Make haste and come

down, for today I must abide at thy house” (verse 5).

Was this something exceeding abun- dantly above all that Zaccheus had ever thought to come his way, or was It the Saviour’s recognition of a desire which He had actually seen in the heart of this man? (Eph. Ill, 20; Ezek. xi, 5; Ps. cxlv, 19.) I cannot tell, but I do know that the “handfuls of pur- pose” which the Lord drops for those who seek Him and for those who seek to serve Him are truly wonderful (Huth 11, 15, 16).

We do not wonder that Zaccheus made haste and came down and re- ceived Him joyfully (verse 6). Any one but a Pharisee would if he only understood what it meant. According to John 1, 12. Zaccheus thug became a

child of God and according to I John ii, 12. had there and then the forgive- ness of his sins—freely justified, as

was the other publican. There Is only- one salvation and one way of salvation for rich or poor. It was foreshadowed In the atonement money of Israel, con-

cerning which It was commanded, "The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a

phekel” (Ex. xxx, 11-15). That which Zaccheus said he did in verse 8 was

part of the evidence that he had be- come a child of God. for, while no

works of ours can obtain or help to ob- tain salvation, the good works must follow as a result I Eph. 11, 10; Tit ill, 8). Weymouth translates: "Here and now I give. • • • I pledge myself to

repay to him four times the amount”

A D4ILY MOTTO.

[The following verses are from a collection of scrap book clippings, etc., among the effects of the late Miss Frances Willard, having been sent her by a devoted friend. In time they found their way into the second volume collected bv Joe Mitchell Chappie under the title of "Heart Throbs".]

It’s curious whut a sight o' good a little thing will do;

How ye kin stop the fiercest storm when it begins to brew,

An’ take the Bting from wbot commenced to rankle when 'twas spoke,

By keepin’ still and treatin' it as if it wus a

joke; Ye’ll find that ye kin fill a place with smiles

instead o’ tears, An’ keep the sunshine gleamin’ through the

shadows of the years, By jes' laughin’.

Folks sometimes fails ter note the possibili- ties that lie

In the way yer mouth is curvin’ an’ the twinkle in yer eye:

It ain't so much whut's said that hurts ez

what ye think lies hid. It ain’t so much the doin’ ee the way a thing

is did. An’ many a home’s kep’ happy an’ contented,

day by day, An’ like ez not a kingdom hez been rescued

from decay. By jes’ laughin’,

South Brewer, June 1. Dear Aunt Madge:

I suppose my name has been crossed off long ere this; it ought to be, if it hasn't. I am sending a piece of poetry that you can

use if you wish. We are living at South Brewer now. Have

been here eighteen months. Aunt Martha.

Dear M. B. Friends and Aunt Martha: For 1 think yon deserve “special men-

tion”, having shown your loyalty to the column by coming back to us after a long silence. There are many whom I hope will follow your good example. I am sure

they would, if they knew how much

pleasure they would give Aunt Madge by so doing. The associations connected with the above poem which Aunt Martha sent make it doubly interesting.

Penobscot, May 26. Dear Aunt Madge and M. B. Sisters:

Hello! This is not a “good” morning, but rather the reverse — foggy, damp and cool. Thought I would write even a few lines to tell you that I enjoyed the call 1 made with “Aunt Maria” very much. We have not named our cows and horses, and we havs two of each. Am trying to think up some new names, but have failed so far.

Since 1 wrote in March for the column I have been “gadding”, not far away, just to

Bangor and Belfast. The rides on the boat I enjoy, also the automobile ride 1 had. My “better half” and I were on a three days’ trip and we were expecting something to happen out of the common, so the electrical shower we had at that time—the first of the season, April 11>—we are sure was caused by our being away from home, a rare thing for us. I left the housecleaning to go as it would, and had a fine time. It rests one a lot to leave home cares and

take an outing. Try it, sisters, and see what a benefit yon will derive from it. I am wish- ing after this “hurry” season is over I can get the book “Pollyanna” to read, as everyone thinks it interesting.

My sincere sympathy for the sick and af- flicted ones. Will send clippings, and hope someone. Will feel better by reading them. The work is waiting, so good-bye, love to all.

_ N. L. H.

Yes, N. E. H., even a day’s outing makes a change which gives one new things to think about, and the work goes enough easier after it to make up for lost time.

I always think of B. J. A. when I make a ‘'miss” in cooking, because once, when I recorded a failure of mine in that line, she said it was a comfort to her. A few' days ago it did seem as though the very “witches” had gotten into my cooking, but I followed the letter of our text for this week and “Jes’ kept laughin’ and Uncle Madge laughed, too, so it was all right.

Aunt Maria sends a card which reads (a part of it): “See here, hadn’t we best have a cup of sugar to cream with the butter in the Ernestine cake, for that’s one of the very best cakes 1 ever made.” That was the recipe for date cake given twoweeksago. Narcissus writes: “Wasn’t that fine; that letter Aunt Maria wrote for the column!”

Dear Aunt Madge: I for one atu glad you could go to Massa-

chusetts. I would like to go, too. I have a number of cousins there whom I could visit, besides friends.

Did you ever make filled cookies? I made some, and all thought them fine.

Who has an Ambbican older than I have— January, 1867? I also have a number in 1867-68.

Aunt Emma, I have made a number of your Harrison cakes. It was my mother’s recipe, and she always kept one in the house, so I was glad to see the recipe. I made some ripe cucumber pickles by your recipe, and they were nice, too.

You are right, N. L. H., Pansy (not myself, but Mrs. Alden) was always my favorite writer of good steries. Her “Esther” and “Julia

CLEANING SILVER WITHOUT RUBBING.

Cleaning silver without rubbing or a

polish seemed to me almost too easy to

even try, but I did so, and want to ask all

to give it a fair trial. Buy 10 cent's worth

of zinc, have it cut by a tinsmith in strips say six or seven inches long and three

inches wide. That is only for the ease of

handling. Use a clean pen, tin or agate Place the strips in bottom of pan, pour over

two quarts of hot water, one table- spoon of salt and the same amount of bak-

ing soda, submerge the silver in this solu-

tion, let it remain until water cools, lift out, pour boiling water over and dry on

clean towel. Rub with chamois if large pieces have a great deal of polished sur-

face. The eDgraved silver cleans perfectly. -L. E. T.

POLISHING CLOTH FOR SILVER. Dissolve one-half cupful of shaved white

soap in a cap of hot water. When cold, stir into it three heaping tablespoons of

powdered whiting and a few drops of

ammonia. Blend into a smooth jelly. Have ready suitable pieces of soft flannel and table linen. Lay these in the jelly and allow them to absorb as much as pos- sible. Squeeze slightly, just so they do

not drip, and let them dry. A quick rub

with one of these cloths will remove

tarnish from silver, and there will oe none

of the dirt that usually accompanies the

use of powders. —L. E. T.

W. C. T. U.

County Convention at Southwest Harbor Recently.

The twenty-seventh annual convention of the Hancock County W. C. T. U. was held at the Congregational church, Southwest Harbor, May 26 and 27.

The greeting servioe Tuesday evening was one of cordial good will and enthusi- asm. The count} president, Mrs. Julia A. Chatto, took charge in her quiet, but ef- fective way. The welcome to the church

by the pastor, Mr. Mordecai, and to the

union and town by Miss M. A. Carroll, gave evidence of zeal for the uplift and betterment of humanity. The response by Mrs. F. A. Leitch, of Bar Harbor, was

witty and instructive. The memorial tributes to the promoted

leader, Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, showed the

great love and respect her nobility of character has inspired in the hearts of her

loyal white ribboners. Mrs. Chatto gave a vivid description of the memorial ser-

vices held in Portland city hall April 24, which she attended, followed by readings by delegates, eloquent testimonials of noted people of the love and reverence ac-

corded one of the grandest women in his-

tory. Mrs. Beulah Oxton, of Rockland, gave

a fine description of the world’s and National W. C. T. U. conventions of 1913, and deeply impressed the audience with the power and breadth of those great councils. A song by a class of girls added

to the interest Of the evening. Wednesday morning a biisy 6onferencd

was preceded by a helpful praise meeting led by Past President Mrs. C. E. Guptill, of Winter Harbor. When the convention 'was called to order, the presiding officers went swiftly forward with the routine business. Mrs. Carrie Moores, of Bar

Harbor, served for the second year as page. Among the department reports, one of

the most interesting was given by Mrs. Nettie Fullerton, of Ellsworth, on homes for the homeless, supplemented by touch- ing incidents by Mrs. Chatto. Both these ladies are regularly appointed agents for the county and State, and have faithfully and effectively worked for the interests of

neglected children, placing a large num-

ber of little ones either in good homes, or

in the temporary home in Augusta, the Industrial school, or in the home for feeble-minded.

Mrs. Emeryfgave a fine report of what the Bar Harbor union has done along the line of mothers’ meetings through the

painstaking efforts of the local superin- tendent.

Temperance literature, reported by the

superintendent, Mrs. Josephine Stanley, showed that a large amount of good liter- ature has been distributed. A report by the county superintendent of Sunday school work, Mrs. Cbatto, of the member-

ship contests of the Ellsworth and Ellsworth Falls Sunday schools, proved what can be done by zealous workers to increase the attendance and exert a good influence in a community.

The excellent report of the Bar Harbor superintendent of scientific temperance instruction in schools was read by Mrs. Emery, and included two excellent prize essays by pupils of the schools there.

At the noontide hour the name of Heman

Richards, an honorary member, the only break in the county chain of membership for the past year, was fittingly eulogized by Mrs. Watson and remembered in

prayer. At the afternoon session, Mrs. Oxton,

State superintendent of scientific temper- ance instruction in schools, presented her line of work. Mrs. Oxton, who is a bright and earnest speaker, gave facts and figures in a clear and convincing manner. All present regretted that home duties called her away before the close of the con-

vention. The treasurer’s report showed five

unions m good financial standing, but rather lax in sending dues. A letter from Anna Gordon enclosed a precious message to county unions dictated by the pro- moted leader but a few hours before she

passed to the better life. The presiding officer also read letters from Mrs. Althea Quimby, Gertrude Stevens Leavitt, Lillian M. Robbins, a former president, and from Ella Mason, a police matron of West Newton.

Mrs. Estelle Benson Stanley manifested ber continued interest in ber borne union, and gave important facts relating to ber work for tbe education of children along tbe coast. Mrs. Emma Harrison, pastor of the West Tremont cburcb, gave a ring- ing speech. Rev. Mr. Dresser, of tbe Man- set Baptist cburcb, and bis wife were pre- sented, and he gave a vivid account of the

temperance situation iu Canada. In reporting the work of local unions,

Bar Harbor showed best results, and may be called the banner union. Owing to the boat arrangements, Sedgwick could not send delegates, but good work along many lines is being done in that vicinity.

A pleasing feature of the afternoon ses-

sion was tbe introduction of visitors, which resulted in pinning tbe little white ribbon bow on six members who will give loyal aid to tbe Willard union. After tbe president’s excellent address, department reports were completed. Flower missions, by Katharine Freeman Walls, gave evi- dence that many invalids had been re-

membered, and needy caeeB aided by money gifts.

Report of resolutions, by Chairman Car- roll, came too late to admit of discussion. Election of officers resulted In the unani- mous re-election of the president, who has been faithful and zealous in carrying on

tbe work in the county. As tbe vice-

president-at-large. Mrs. Grace Barron, had sent in ber resignation, Mrs. Katharine Freeman Walla was elected to that plaoe, and Mrs. Estelle Benson Stanley was

elected corresponding secretary; J. M. Mason, recording secretary, and Mrs. A. W. Clark, treasurer.

The evening session opened with a choir anthem, scripture resKling and prayer by Rev. Mr. Dresser, followed by a song by a class of young ladies. Reading and ap- proval of the national congressional reso-

lution for prohibition, a reading by Lena Clark, and a solo by Mrs. Hanscom, made np a pleasing variety before the speech- making of the ministerial group on the platform.

Rev. Mr. Elliot, of the Southwest Har-

bor Method la t church, led with a ringing speech on national prohibition. Then

the special speaker of the evening, Kev.

P. A. A. Killam, of Ellsworth, held the

close attention of the audience in a clear and comprehensive presentation of tem-

perance questions from an optimist’s point of view, leaving with the audienoe

the hopeful impression of utimate success

of nation and world-wide prohibition. Mrs. Harrison made excellent remarks,

taking up the equal suffrage question, yet deploring the violent measures adopted by the London suffragettes, who are block-

ing the wheels of franchise progress. As

the hour was late, Mr. Mordecai spoke but

briefly, and dismissed the audience with a

benediction. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.

Life. The poet’a exclftmatlou: "O Life! I feel

thee bounding in nay veins,” ia a joyous one. Persona that can rarely or never make it, in honesty to themselves, are among the most unfortunate. They do not live but exist; for to live implies more than to be. To live is to be well and strong—to arise feeling equal to the ordinary duties of the day, and to retire not overcome by them-to feel life bounding in the veins. A medicine that has made thousands of people, men and women, well and strong, has accomplished a great work, bestowing the richest blessings, and that medicine is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. The weak run-down, or debilitated, from any cause! should not fail, to take it. It builds op the whole system, changes existence into life, and makes life more abounding. We are glad to say these words in its favor to the readers of our columns.—Advt.

MISSION OF THE GRANGE. An Organization That Should Strive

for larger Accomplishment*.

[B. Walker McKern, In Maine Burnt Lift.] Ths grange in Maine Hands aa a unique and exceptional organization. Its or-

ganic laws bring within :ts doors a varied membership. Here may be found the old, the young and the middle aged, of both sexes, mingling together without restraint and with equal opportunities and equal responsibilities.

It is non-partisan and non-religious, but its teachings embody all that relates to good government, good morals and the true principles of Christianity. In fact, the|leading object of the order as set forth in the declaration of purposes, la to “labor for tbe good of our order, our country and mankind". This is to be done by developing “a higher manhood and womanhood among ourselves" by en-

hancing “the comforts and attractions of our homes and by strengthening our attachments to our pursuits".

We propose “acting together for our mutual protection and enhancement, as occasion may require". In our business relations we desire to “bring producers and consumers, farmers and manufac- turers into the most direct and friendly relations possible. All our acta and all our efforts, so far as business is concerned, are not only for tbe benefit of the pro- ducer and consumer, but sIbo for all other interests that tend to bring these two parties into speedy and economic con- tact." One of the ever-living mottoes of our order is, that individual happiness de- pends upon general prosperity.”

ine grange in Maine is not an enemy to capital, but it does oppose monopolies. It is also opposed to excessive salaries, high rates of interest and exorbitant pro- fits in trade. The grange is especially an educational organization. It believes in an education that fits for the active duties of life, that deals with the real things of the present, an education that fits for work, that trains the mind, the eye and the hand, that leads to the broadest un-

derstanding of the duties of the hour and the highest moral conceptions, an edu- cation for all and not for the few, with as

nearly as possible equal opportunities and equal privileges, that shall fit every child for its life work along any line of endeavor and which is only limited by the child's ability to acquire.

In conclusion it may be said that “we desire a proper equality, equity and fair- ness; protection for the weak, restraint upon the strong; in short, justly distrib- uted burdens and justly distributed power, and to inculcate a proper appreci- ation of the abilities and sphere of woman”.

In striving to work out these principles it is well to keep close to some definite plans and purposes. The time for dwell- ing entirely upon generalities has passed. It may be interesting but it is not nour-

ishing. The first point to be considered seems to

me that the order shall be put upon a

basis that will lead to an increase in mem-

bership equal to the increase in the op- portunities and the difficulties to be met. The fact remains that a very large ma-

jority of the farmers of Maine are still un-

organized, that quite a proportion of the best farmers in the State are still outside the order. It is also true that for the

year of 1912 there was an actual loss in

membership among the granges existing at the beginning of the year, and the

growth from the organization of new

granges was less than three-tenths of one

per cent. The growth for the few previ- ous years has not been far above that for 1912.

If the principles of the order as outlined above are worth anything, if there is to be a continued forward and upward move-

ment, there should, of course, be such zeal and enterprise shown by officers and members as shall overcome the present stagnation in grange sentiment, and put the order once more on the road to an in-

crease in membership and consequent in-

crease in influence. After this is done, then attention may

be turned effectively toward accomplish- ing results along lines, a few of which 1 would like to name in this article.

As long as the Maine farmer is content to receive but 35 cents of the consumer’s dollar and to pay a higher rate of interest than any other class, he should not won-

der that agriculture wanes, that granges dwindle in membership and interest, and

that the lure of the city charms his boys and his girls.

Counting commissions and renewal

charges, the interest rate paid by the farmers of this country averages 8% per cent, and no one questions the security offered by the farmer. The trouble is

with the lack of machinery at his com-

mand. In spite of the large agricultural resources of the country, the price of food

products is increasing taster here than

in any country in the world, and at the same time the profits of the farm are not

increasing; in fact, in some instances they are actually diminishing and agriculture, as it relates to progress in other industries and in proportion to the increase in our

population, is rapidly waning. There are now many schemes being ad-

vanced to bring about a change through a

more advantageous system of farm credits, but the grange must see to it that nothing may be done which will further bind the

farmer to the powers that now control American finance. Let us “beware the

Greeks when they come bearing gifts” and keep our hand on the lead reins. The national grange stands for the utilization of the funds now on deposit in the postal savings banks for loans to farmers through local credit associations by the purchase of their amortization land mortgaged bonds. This seems feasible, and I trust

the Maine grange may act on it promptly, as it seems essential that a start be made

at once, particularly for the benefit of those who would extend their farm opera- tions and the many graduates of our col-

lege of agriculture. A good system of farm credits is also es-

sential to the development of co-operative organizations, such as are now being formed in Maine upon a basis more stable

and secure than some others which have signally failed.

Next to farm credits may be named gooa roads for the farmers. Maine is now

inproving its roads, bat whether they are

being improved with the broad idea of bettering conditions for all the people and from the commercial standpoint, still remains to be seen. The grange legisla- tive committee assisted in framing a bill which appeared to contain the necessary provisions for this, which was presented to the legislature at its last session, but it received scant endorsement, and the bill as finally passed was not considered by the committee, neither was it given an oppor- tunity, so far as 1 know, to pass judg- ment upon it. «

Every member of the order, as well as

every citizen of the State, should be in- terested in all the schools of the State, but particularly in its elementary common schools. Maine early recognized its duty to educate its youth, at least to a certain extent, and was one of the first states to appropriate money for that purpose.

The State now furnishes some more than one-half of the money that goes into the elementary common schools, but so

unevenly is this money divided under present methods that many cities and towns get more from the State than their schools cost, while other towns and cities heavily tax themselves to maintain their schools and are even then obliged to content themselves with inferior schools.

The grange must, if it is true to itself, take hold of this matter. It must see that in the schools, as elsewhere, there shall be equal opportunities and equal privi- leges.

MAKES BACKACHE .

'QUICKLYJSAPPEAR A Few Doses Relieves All Such Miseries. Bladder Weakness,

Kidney Trouble and Rheu- matism Promptly Vanish

It is no longer necessary for any one to suffer with backaching, kid- ney trouble, have disagreeable blad- der and urinary disorders to contend with, or be tortured with rheuma- tism, stiff joints, and its heart- wrenching pains, for the new discov- ery, Croxone, quickly and surely re- lieves all such troubles.

Croxone is the most wonderful remedy yet devised for ridding the system of uric acid and driving out ail the poisonous impurities which cause such troubles. It is entirely different from all other remedies. It is not like anything else ever used for the purpose. It acts on the prin- ciple of cleaning out the poisons and removing the cause.

It soaks right in through the walls, membranes and linings, like water in a sponge, neutralizes, dissolves, and makes the kidneys sift out and filter away, all the uric acid and poisons from the blood, and leaves the kid- neys and urinary organs clean, strong, healthy and well.

It matters not how long you have suffered, how old you are, or what you have used, the very_ principle of Croxone is such, that it is practically, impossible to take it into the human system without results. There is nothing else on earth like it. It starts to work the minute you take it and relieves you.the first time you use it

If you suffer* with* pains in'you* back and sides, or have any signs ol kidney, bladder troubles, or rheuma- tism, such as puffy swellings under the eyes or in the feet and ankles, ii you are nervous, tired, and run down, or bothered with urinary disorders, Croxone will quickly relieve you of your misery. jYou can secure an orig- inal package of Croxone at trifling cost from any first-class * druggist. All druggists are authorized to per- sonally return the purchajs price if it fails in a single case,

TEN PAGES. Vote at the Primaries.

Next Monday, the primaries. There will be three tickets in the field—re-

publican, democratic and socialist. The progressive party has already nominated its candidates in conven-

tion, not yet being entitled to repre- sentation in the primaries under the laws of Maine, never having, as a

party, participated in a State election. The primary gives to each voter in

the parties represented the privilege of direct participation in the nomina- tion of candidates. Under the con-

vention system, which the primaries displaced, the voters had but an in- direct voice, being represented by a

few delegates. The complaint was made that the

conventions were controlled by a few

politicians, and the nominations did not reflect the will of the people. The cry for direct voice in the selec- tion of candidates became so load and so general, that the legislature of Maine enacted the primary law. It has placed in the hands of the voters the privilege they asked, and if now

they do not use this privilege, they have no right to complain.

The one factor which seems to deter

many from voting in the primaries, and about which there remains some

misunderstanding, is the necessity of

declaring one’s political preference. This seems a wise provision, as without it there would be nothing to prevent democrats from voting to nominate the weakest candidate on the repub- lican ticket, or rice verso, with the view to more easily defeating him at the September election when the

parties are arrayed against each other. This would be equivalent to the “packed caucus” of the old con-

vention system. j.ur j/ai cuiuiuuvui) luciciuic,

seems wise and proper; at least it is the best method yet devised. The

argument that it offers no place for the independent voter has some

foundation, and yet the independent voter has more privileges than he had under the convention system. There are few if any of the so-called inde- pendent voters who have no political preference, and there is nothing in the primary law to disbar them from

expressing their preference for can-

didates in the primaries. Voting in the primaries, or enroll-

ment with this or that party, does not bind them to vote the same ticket in

September, when, with ail parties represented on a single ticket, and

protected by all the secrecy of the present method of voting, they are

at liberty to vote as they please. It is the privilege—nay, more, the

duty—of every man who has the in- terest of his State and his county at heart, to do his part toward the nam-

ing of candidates best qualified for the offices they seek. Let us have a

primary vote next Monday which will fairly express the will of the peo- ple.

Vote at the primaries.

The industrial commission is one of the devices of the party in power at Washington to alleviate the misery caused by the democratic tariff law". Some weeks ago members of this commission gave out in the way of newspaper interviews, some facts about the number of unemployed in the country, which caused conster- nation in the White House and else where. Much criticism of the com- mission was heard from democrats, and its members learned a lesson. They were not appointed to tell any- thing that would hurt the free trade party, and they have sought since that time to hunt up something to help the democratic cause. They have taken advice from Secretary Redfield on the subject, with the re- sult that they are now engaged in investigating the efficiency of labor in this country and how “scientific management” may be extended.— The Protectionist.

Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, who was the democratic leader in the House before Under- wood, berated his colleagues in the Senate recently for quarreling over the selection of reserve cities and other matters. He declared the party was beginning to do just what it oould be counted upon doing every time. “The poor, dear, old, foolish democratic party,” said thedemocrat- ic senator, “is going through the same game that she can be generally trusted to go through soon after she

fets into power. That is its history. hat is what led Speaker Tom Reed

to say: ‘You can’t last long, be- cause you are not accustomed to

governing anybody or anything; you cannot govern the country because you cannot govern yourselves. You are incompetent.’ ”—Washington Post.

Potatoes are another food product which foreign countries will grow for Americans under the democratic tariff law. We have been growing almost all the potatoes we have needed. For instance, the last two months of 1912, under a republican tariff, only 41,000 bushels of potatoes were imported into the United States. In the last two months of last year, under a democratic tariff, nearly 3,000,000 bushels of potatoes were

brought into this country. This means that more than a million dol- lars which had been going into the

pockets of American potato-raisers were sent to foreign potato-growers. It is reported that the foreign acre-

age of potatoes is doubled this year.

An examination of the list of dele-

gates present at the progressive county convention in Ellsworth last week gives some figures which are

significant. There were sixty-seven delegates present out of a possible 136—not quite 50 per cent. Out of

thirty-seven towns and plantations entitled to delegatee, only thirteen were represented. Four of these towns furnished forty-five of the

sixty-seven delegates. The twenty- four towns and plantations which sent no delegates to the county con-

vention cast 698 votes for Roosevelt in 1912 and 344 votes for Lawrence last year.

The democratic pie-counter is cer-

tainly to be supplied with a big lot of

pies, even though in small pieces, by that order of President Wilson

requiring civil service examinations for fourth-class postmasters at all offices at which the annual compensa- tion is 8180 or more, and in which the present postmaster was not ap- pointed under civil service regula- tions. WTe publish elsewhere a list of forty-three postoffices in Hancock

county of which the postmasters are

likely to lose their jobs under this order.

We print this, week on pages 8 and

9, specimen ballots for the primary election next Monday, with full in- structions as to voting. Voters are

urged to read these instructions care-

fully. Unlike the ballot voted at

regular elections, in the primary bal- lot a cross is made after each name to

be voted for, and only one cross for | each office except for State senators, where two are to be nominated and therefore two may be voted for.

It ought not to be necessary to ! urge all good republicans to vote at I the primaries next Monday. Pride in their party and the rolling up of a

good-sized republican vote, should be sufficient inducement to get them :

out. But we do urge every loyal re-

publicau who has a republican neigh- i bor who appears indifferent, to use

his efforts to get him out to the polls. Let’s have a representative republi- can vote next Monday.

The friends of birds are pleased by the action of the United States Sen-

ate, which has refused to follow the

report of the committee in cutting the appropriation for the enforce- ment of the new federal law for tho

protection of migratory game birds, and has sustained the report of the

department of agriculture for an ap- propriation of 850,000, this having seen cut to 810,000 by the vote of the committee.

Qovernor Haines is making good bis promise to npbold the hands of Sheriff O’Connell, of Bangor, in en-

Fire at Oceanvllle. The house of E. T. Colomy at Oeeanville,

in the town of Stonington, was burned last Wednesday morning. The fire caught in the roof about the chimney. A portion of the furniture was saved. The loss is

estimated at ?2,000; insurance |500.

Paint and Not. Paint wan so high the last few years the

market was flooded with trash. What is trash? It looks like paint and pretends to be

paint, bat isn’t worth painting. It costs a painter's day's work to put on a gallon of paint, good or bad; and a painter’s day's work is $3 or $4.

Add that to the price of a gallon. That is the cost of a gallon. Devoe is $5 or f6 a

gallon; and trash a half-dollar less. But Devoe is all paint and more too; yon

add oil to it; a gallon is 5 or 6 quarts of

perfect paint for the painter’s pot. But trash is three-quarters, two-thirds or half

paint; yon pay a half-dollar less for no-

body-knows-what-it-is. 10 gallons Devoe is enough for the aver-

age job; it takes 15 to 20 gallons of trash. And the wear same way. Unfortunately, they look alike when first put on.

Wilson requires competitive examinations for the position of postmaster at all fourth-class postofflces at which the an-

nual compensation is more than fl80, or

more, and at which the present incumbent

was not appointed under civil service

regulations. These examinations will be held in Han-

cock county as follows: At Stonington, July 8; at Bar Harbor and Ellsworth, July 15. Applicants may be exsmined at

any of the examination points, but only on the dates mentioned. An applicant must reside within the territory supplied by the post office for which he is a candi-

date. Application forms may be secured

from the postmaster at any place at which the examination is to be held, or from the

United States Civil Service Commission at Washington.

Following are the postoffices in Han-

cock county affected by this order: Am-

Deafness Cannot IU> Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is

only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin- iug of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or

imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, bearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur- faces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot he cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. SeDd for circulars, free.

Political 3nnounccmnts

For Representative Loren W. Rumill,

of West Tremont. To the voters of the class district com-

posed of the towns of Mount Desert, La- moine% Tremont, Southwest Harbor, Swan's Island and Cranberry Isles. I am a candidate upon the republican

ticket for representative to the legislature from this district, in the primary election to be held June ^5, 1914, and respectfully ask for your assistance. I have always been a republican and taken an active hand in political matters, having served on the republican town committee sixteen

years and am at present its chairman. I have served my town in some office

twenty-four years, being all of ray years of majority but four. 1 have served on

the board of selectmen nine years, six of these years in succession as chairman. I have been postmaster at this place seven, teen years, which position I resign to ac

cept this office. The towns of this district have a long

established custom of taking turns in

naming the candidate to represent the district in the legislature. Four years ago it was Mount Desert’s turn, and they aarned A. K. McBride, who was elected. Two years ago they wanted to return him for a second term, and he was returned without a murmur from the other towns. It is an undisputed fact that it is now

Treraont’s turn. I being the only candi- date from this town, feel that 1 can faiily and conscientiously ask for and expect Lhe nomination.

When I announced my candidacy I did not anticipate any opposition in the

primaries from other towns, out that Tremont would be accorded the same fair

privilege that has been previously ten- dered the other tow us. But there does ap- pear a candidate for a third term from Mount Desert. Now I appeal to the fair-

thinking men of that town to cast their ballot at the primary ejection as dictated

by careful, considerate thought, and to the voters of the other towns in the dis-

trict, to practice the Qolden Rule. Very respectfully,

JLoren W. Rumill.

HOWARD B. MOOR,

for Sheriff.

To the Voters of Hancock County: *

1 am a candidate for the nomiuation for sheriff to be voted for in the primary election June 15. The kind offers of

support 1 am receiving in Ellsworth and all over the county, satisfy me that my candidacy is meeting with very general approval. *

I have tried to conduct a clean cam-

paign, saying only kind words for the I other candidates, but rumors are coming to me of false statements being circulated | by at least one of my competitors, which ! I want to correct so tar as I can. I

promise that if nominated and elected, as

1 expect to be, I toill be sheriff, I will live at the jail-house and I will enforce all

law« to the best of my ability. 1 want to say further, if it should so

happen that X am not nominated, 1 will be

found in the ranks in September still fighting for the whole republican ticket.

Thanking the people of the county for

I have done much for the democratic party, and believe the workers should be rewarded.

1 want my name on the September ticket, for our county and State are going democratic. There are more than 3,500 loyal democrats in our county, and 1 wish 1 could call on each of you and invite your support.

Help those who will be the greatest benefit to the public, and the most help to our great party, that will govern our na-

tion for many years. Sincerely yours,

H. Fremont Maddockb.

The class towns of Gouldsboro, Sullivan, Franklin, Hancock, Winter Harbor, Sor- rento and East brook, the largest repre- sentative class in the county, has elected county officials at intervals in the past, but so far as I have been able to learn, has never had but one county attorney.

I have never hesitated when called upon to work early or late for the success of the

party candidates. I have worked my way through the Uni-

versity of Maine, college of law, passed the bar examinations and am now doing my best to build up a practice.

1 am not an independent candidate, but on the other hand 1 am being supported by so many well-known good republicans that, win or lose, it is a matter of pride to have had their endorsement.

I am fully aware of the responsibility of the duties that are attached to this office, and I promise the people of this county that, if nominated and elected, 1 will fulfill them in au honest and impartial manner.

Thanking the people of this county for the courtesy they have already shown me

I By DONALD CHAMBERLIN l •••••••••••••••••••a******

It la generally supposed that we de-

tectives have to deal exclusively with

low grade criminals. Most of our small robbers are of that sort, but occasion-

ally we run across either a gentleman or one who Is very capable of personat- tng ft gentleman.

One of the dangers thieves and rob-

bers encounter Is being given awny by a pel. It la singular how many cases

there are of quarrellngs over the di-

vision of plunder taken by rascals who

work together, and once a break la

made among them It widens Indefi-

nitely. Revenge Is alwsys within

reach by informing, though this course

Is liable to react on the Informer. One morning the mall brought my

chief a letter, badly written and mis-

spelled, Informing him that Jim Mc-

Farland, alias Slippery Jim and several

other aliases, would that evening at-

tend as a guest a function to be giv- en by one of the swells of the place, his object being to get away with cer-

tain articles of value. No description of Mr. McFarland was gtven-lndeed, no other Information than here men-

tioned. I was directed to examine the

police i^oords ami the rogues' gallery with a view to discovering a biography or a photograph of the crook. But I

found no mention of any such person, so I Inferred that If the Information received were genuine he must be a

newcomer. I believed that It was genu- ine. for I could not see that anything was to be gained by sending In a false statement. Indeed, It was apparent to me that thieves had fallen out and honest men were likely to get their dues.

mast do so either without an Invitation or the host must know that I am a

detective. To secure admission aa a

detective would require taking the host into my confidence and as many others as he chose to confide In. These people would all he looking for the crook, and he would be scared away. 1 preferred to go to the ball myself incognito. Sometimes a guest will be known to the host but not to the hostess, and vice versa. Therefore a person with- out an invitation stands a good chance to attend a function without being questioned. On this chance I relied.

I got myself up as Immaculately as

possible, parting my hair in the mid- dle in order to give me the appearance of a superfine gcntlemaD. In the dress- ing room I made remarks upon the weather to several different men in or-

der to give tie Impression that I was

acquainted with them and went down- stairs chatting with a man who seem-

ed not averse to my advances. I re-

frained from going at once to salute the host and hostess, keeping away from them purposely while they were

together so they could not compare notes concerning me. l naa not neon long on tne main noor

when I began to scan the faces for my quarry, though I expected to And him. If at all, upstairs. I made frequent visits to the dressing room and after the guests had ceased to arrive and the upper stories were deserted took the risk of looking Into rooms, some-

times opening the doors In order to get an Inside view. In one of these ex-

plorations I opened the door of a room where a nurse was sitting beside a

child In Its crib. I apologized for mak- ing a mistake and withdrew at once.

Among the guests I noticed one who seemed to be receiving the lion's share of attention. I asked who he was and was Informed that be was the Hon. Clifford Radcllffe, a younger sou

of a British earl. He seemed to be a quiet sort of person, listening to what was aald to him rather than talk- ing himself and not flattered by the at- tention paid him. While observing him I saw a man presented to him— one In fine clothes, but with a very or-

dinary face. His hair and beard were

of a disagreeable shade of red. Edging near enough to bear him speak, I found that his accent was English. What especially struck me was that, while I could not be sure he dropped his h's. the word “have" sounded very like

’ave" While I am never disposed to Jump

at conclusions, this red headed indi- vidual seemed to me to look more out of place than any other of the guests. At any rate, I resolved to keep an

eye on him. Considering that all were

moving constantly, this was not easy. Some time after I bad first noticed him I looked about for him, but did Dot see

him. Thinking that I might catch him upstairs purloining, I went up there. Returning to my expedient of opening doors "by mistake," I turned several knoba. On one of these entrances I was surprised to see the red headed man standing at a dresser. He bad divested himself of his dress coat and had put on a sack. At the moment I tpened the door, which I did softly, he was looking for something on the dress- er. I recognised him by his reflection In the mirror. His eyes being lowered, he was not aware of my presence. De- sirous of preserving this advantage over him, I closed the door without making the slightest noise, hurried to a telephone booth, which I had taken pains to locate early in the evening, and called for a couple of men In plain

clothe* to come to the honse »t They arrived In exactly four aianf' I met them at the door and rW* them to wait there till l called ^ them. Then I sought the host l,J* him chatting with the Hon jS? ford Radcllffe and, calling him ,,iT told him that there was * crook bl* house and that I had called , the police to arrest him. I had caJ2 him In a room upstairs and thoughts quite probable he van there am Would be go with me and either firm or nullify my suspicions by ing a look at the roan?

He went with me, I calling (a th, two men at the door, and we all clta? ed the stairs together. As we roach* the landing above the red headed mu came out of the room attired hi orS nary dress. ""

“Do you know him?" I asked the how “No. I've been wondering who he|<

all the evening.’’ ’

"Have I your permission to am* him?’

"Yes. Can you do It without inaklM a scene?' ^

"Certainly. We'll take him down th* back stairway.”

The man we were talking aliout N seeing us recoiled. At first he seemed disposed to go l»ck Into the room fro* which he had emerged, hut reconwd. ered this move and came on toward ux I looked an order to my men to tak» him, and In a Jiffy he was hustled to a rear staircase, down It and out through a door. I told the men that I would Join them presently at the |>ollee its. tlon and they must not let him throw anything away, especially the hundl# he carried under his arm. Then I went down the front stairs with the host

We met the lion. Clifford RadcUSk at the foot of the stairs. At that mo- ment the man arrested shouted froa the rear of the house. "You took, you've spoiled''— A door was shut preventing any more from being heart

"What's the trouble?' asked lit, Radcllffe.

only a truer in tne house r>elng taken to a police station." replied tha host. "I'm thankful that his cry was not heard In the rooms.”

“Indeed:" said the Englishman. ‘Tn often thought what a fine chant* thieves have to come Into houses wbaa function* Hre going on and steal."

"We've got this fellow, anyway. Go- ing so early, Mr. RadclUTe?’

“Yes; I must be going. You Ameri- cans have been so kind to me sines I came over that I’ve been kept up lata every night since I arrived here. I bid you good night. I've alreail; taken leave of your good wife."

"Good night. Mr. Radcllffe." The Englishman went on upstair*. I

remained with the host for a time to

Instruct him In what ho should do on the morrow In appearing against the thief, telling him that we should proh ably find the man's bundle filled wtti stolen goods. I did not hurry N-cao** there was no occasion to hurry, and the gentleman with whom I was talk- ing was constantly called upon wltl ’’Good night; have enjoyed your hospk tallty Immensely.” Finally, haring said all I wished to say and apologised for coming without tn Invitation, I bade him good night myself and went

up to the dressing room for my bat end overcoat. Then I left the hotu* for the police station.

I sallied Into the station puffing I cigar I had lighted, feeling that 1 bad done u nice bit of work. The prlsoeal and his captor* were wnttlng for mk

as was the sergeant at the desk. “Are you sure,’’ said the latter, “thtl

you hit the right man?’ “Why do you ask?’ “This man says he's a Scotland Yard

detective come over here to take hack n British crook wanted for murder."

“That's what I ham,” said the prison er. “I’m ’ere to git Hedward A miner

asked. "Not a thing except an evening son

The reply came hack that he had gons, and I was asked if we had found cee

Prominent Hluehlll Mail Dead.

William \1. Howffrd, a prominent citi- zen of Bluehill, died yesterday morning, of apoplexy. He had been in his usual

health and his sudden death is a shock to

his family and to the community in which

he was so highly esteemed. Mr. Howard was a monumental worker,

and an expert in his line. The soldiers’ monument in Ellsworth was his handi-

work. Mr. Howard had many friends in

this city. He was in Ellsworth only last

week attending the progressive county convention.

He was a Mason and an Odd Fellow. He

leaves a widow', one sou and a daughter. He was in the sixty-third year of his age.

The Tule of a Moose. Fred McGeorge, of McGeorge’s Cross-

ing, East Machias, was arraigned before

•Judge Mason in the Ellsworth municipal court last Thursday, charged with viola- tion of the game laws in shooting a cow

moose in July last. Game Warden H. S.

Stoue, of Bangor, was the complainant. George B. Stuart appeared for the State and L. F. Giles for the respondent.

The principal witness for the State was

John Lund, a neighbor of McGeorge, who stated that while fishing on a stream in

July last, he met McGeorge, who was also fishing and at the same time carrying a

rifle. While together, he said, they saw

a moose coming toward them across a

heath, that when it got within 200 yards of them McGeorge fired at it the only two

cartridges he had, that McGeorge then went home and got another rifle, re-

turned and shot the moose; that he, Lund, had helped to get the moose out.

On cross-examination the witness got a

little confused as to details, telling how he had “lifted up” the moose’s tail, but he was unable to describe the tail of a moose, though insisting that a moose had “quite a tail”.

The defense was a complete denial, and the evidence brought out tended to prove that the whole case was a “frame up” in-

stigated by a man who had a spite against McGeorge. McGeorge had been arrested while at work Thursday morning, and

brought to Ellsworth for a hearing, with-

out being given time to secure any wit-

nesses in his own behalf. Fortunately he

happened to see in Ellsworth Harry Vose, formerly of East Machias, who testified as

to his good reputation. Judge Mason, taking into consideration

the improbabilities surrounding some of

the evidence, the fact that it was one

man’s word against another, and that he

had the testimony of Mr. Vose, a repu- table citizen of Ellsworth, as to respond- ent’s reputation, found the respondent not guilty.

Fresh Com On the Cob —or Dry Kernels?

There’s no question as to which you would choose to

Mt. And there’s just as much difference between fresh tobacco in the Sickle Plug and dried-up particles of sliced or granulated tobacco.

All the natural tobacco flavor and moisture are pressed into the Sickle Plug, and kept in by the natural leaf wrapper. You whittle r pipeful off the plug as you use it —that is why you always get it fresh—always get a

slow-burning, sweet, cool, satisfying smoke.

Economical, because you get more tobacco—there’s no package to pay for. And there’s no waste. All good dealers sell Sickle—try a pipeful today.

A girl about seventeen years old, in calico dress, sunbonnet and cowhide

boots, was walking through n wood in

Kentucky on her way to a spring for water when, making a short cut in s

bend in the path, she came upon a

man asleep. He was young, but there was a hunted'look on his face that made him look older.

There was a feud of long standing between the Griggses and the Backus- es, and a few days before Abel Griggs had been shot and killed by Josh Back us. Since the killing all the Griggses had been looking for Josh in onler to cut another notch on their rifles to make up for the latest Backus notch, said notches denoting the numbei killed.

The girl was Mahulda Griggs, and she looked down on Josh Backus. He had been driven by a cordon of Griggs' men, who were Closing in on him, to

the wood near Mahulda's home. He knew there was no escape for him nnd had thrown himself on the grass in despair. Having been long without food or sleep be had fallen into a

slumber. He awoke with a start and saw Ma-

hulda looking down on him. Each knew who the othm was, though they had never met bereft: Josh sat up and, handing his gun stock foremost to Mabulda. said huskily:

“You're a Griggs* I reckon, nnd 1 might as well own up that I'm Josh Backus as killed Abel Griggs. I'm sure to be taken and shot I'd ruther be killed by yon than any of the Griggs men. and I'll be obleeged to you If you'll put a bullet into me where it will kill me quickest.”

The girl took the gun. ‘'Reckon I ort to kill yon.” she said,

“seein- you killed one o’ the best ol ns Griggs people.”

“Pot the ball thar,” said the other, rising to his feet and tapping his heart with his finger.

"What did yo’ kill Abel fo’?” ”To match the killin' of Jim

Backus.” "Reckon you’ll lie killed to match the

killin' o’ Abel, and then anotbei Griggs ’ll be killed to match the killin' o’ yo’.”

“That’s the way of It. Come, do th< shootin’. Like enough, some one'll come along.”

“1 don't want to kill yo’.” said th« girl, bringing the gnn to her shoulder.

“It's the best thing yo’ kin do fo me.”

She aimed at him. then lowered the gun.” “I mought hide yo'.” "Hide me.' You, a Griggs, hide a

Backus!” "Reckon.” "Ef your people would find it out

they'd kill yo' fo’ doin' of It" “Sartln.” “Well, what yo’ goin' to do?” “Hide yo'. 1 reckon." He stepped up to her, took her hand

In his and looked Intently Into her eyes, where he saw a struggle between pity and self sacrifice on the one hand and revenge and possible death for herself on the other. And he saw, too, the moment when the decision came.

She took off her sunbonnet and hand- ed it to him. then divested herself of her dress, which she also gave to him He understood and put them on. When he was in her outer garments she put on his woolen shirt, trousers and hat.

“Y'o’ go down the path to the spring.” she said. "It's on the edge o’ the clearin' wbat yo’ kin see across. Ef yo’ don't see nary one go over. Ef yo're in danger I'll show myself till yo’ git cl’ar of ’em.”

“But they'll shoot yo’ fo me." “Reckon not. Ef they do they’ll have

to hit me.” “Mayn't I have a kiss befo’ I go?”

he asked with a trembling voice. “Reckon." She received the kiss passively; then

they parted to go in different direc- tions, the man taking the bucket, the girl the gun. When he reached the spring he tilled the bucket, at the same

time casting his eye over the clearing He knew that one of the cordon of Griggses was not far away; but. seeing no one, he started across. He hadn't gone far before he heard a voice:

"Hello thar! Yo' Mahuldyl Wbnr : yo' goln'?"

He kept on without replying. Pres ently he heard the same voice say. "Muhuldy, ef that’s yo', yo' come yere or I’ll shoot at yo’!’'

Backus kept on without reply. Then suddenly he saw a sun flash on a rifle barrel, and for a moment he hesitated. Then came the’ rifle's crack, but no but let came near him. tie shuddered, for he believed that Mahulda bad shown herself and had received the fire. Hearing no further sound, he ran to the wood beyond the clearing.

The Griggses, who had fired suppos | edly at Backus and seen him fall, ran

Up to him. There lay Mahulda, pale and bleeding.

Quite likely the bullet that hit her saved her life. Her own people could not kill her. and the sacrifice she had made filled their hearts with eompas •ion. When she recovered a meeting |vas called among the Griggses, and Mahulda was sent to the Backuses with a proposition to end the feud. There she met Abel Backus, who had little difficulty in persuading his peo- ple to agree to drop the killing.

Some months later a mingling of Griggses and Backuses celebrated the wedding of Josh Backus and Mahulda Griggs.

To Improve K«rn» Home*. Farm hornet must be just as attractive *

as city homes if they are to attract the ;

girls of the farm; girls who now look to

the city instead of to the farm for their

future homes. That is the theory upon which the North Dakota Development League Press Bureau at Grand Forks an-

nounces as the foundation of a new depart- ment of work, being that of extending

efforts to the betterment of conditions

on the farm as related to the life of the

farm women. Miss Mildred Veitch, a uni-

versity graduate, is the head of this new

department, and her entire time will be

devoted to arv effort to improve the con-

ditions that confront the farm women.

“Bring into the farm home the ad-

vantages possessed by the city home, and

you will have gone a long way towards

keeping the girls of the rural districts on

the farm. You can hardly blame the country girl from wanting city life when

on the farm, she becomes a common

drudge, while in the city modern con-

veniences have made home life so much more pleasant,” says Miss Veitch.

“The average farmer is possessed of the means to make the work of bis wife easier, and she may have more time to herself* By utilizing windmill power in driving the cream separator and the churn, one

feature of work that now falls on the women will be materially lightened- Then, too, the same wind.mil can be made to supply power for the washing machine, and it can do a hundred and one things, if properly handled. Of course, the power must be transformed into electricity, but plants of the size necessary can be readily purchased by most farmers. If the elec-

tricity plan appears too expeusive, small

gasolene engines can be made to take its

place, but one or the other can quite cer-

tainly be maintained. “It is to be the object of the new exten-

sion work among the farm women to bring about a changed view of their burdens, and to demand for them the same conveniences that are enjoyed by the women of the city. When that is attained, the farm girl will not be so anxious to go to the city, but will be quite content to marry a country boy. it will bet big step in solving the ♦back to the farm’ problem.”

Is Your Ire Box Safe? Id the June It’eman't Home Com-

panion Walter Peet, a physician, writes an article entitled “The Bate Ice Box”. Following is an extract:

“The home ire box is a most important factor in maintaining the family health and may be a decided menace to it if it is not properly looked after.

“It is poor economy to get a small amount of ice; a large supply put in at one time and completely filling the ice compartment will last longer than the same amount supplied in daily small por- tions.

“The refrigerator should be washed thoroughly once a week. Remove all the fixtures, including the drain pipe. Use a

strong solution of carbonate of soda (washing soda) with no soap. Get into all the corners and crevices with a small brush, and use a large bush and cloths for the fiat surfaces. Next scald out with boiling water, reaching every point of the interior and, finally, thoroughly rinse with cold water in order again to cool the interior. Leave all the doors open for a

good airing. “Wash the fixtures and drain pipe in

the same manner, using a long wire- handled round brush for the inside of the drain pipe, if the fixtures are not too large and the drain pipe is in sections, it is well also to put them in the clothes boiler and boiling washing soda solution.

“It is important, also, regularly to look after the stationary drip pan and the pipe leading from it.

“The pan should be washed end its pipe flushed With a strong solution of lye.

“The ice should be thoroughly washed after it comes from the ice man, for it often has loose dirt clinging to it. Put it into the sink; turn on the faucet full and be certain that the water reaches each of the six sides of the cube.”
