A most interesting, scholarly and eloquent
sermon was delivered before the graduating
class of the Searsport High school last Sunday
morning by Rev. c. H. Mckinney in the First
Congregational church. It was union ser
vice and attended by large audience. The
class was honored by the presence of the
Superintendent of Belfast and Searsport
schools, Alonzo J. Knowlton. Mr.. Mckinney
in his opening congratulated the citizens of
Searsport, the superintendent the teachers,
the pupils and the mothers and fathers, upon
the great betterment of the schools within tho
past few months. The church was simply
decorated with cut flowers and green and
looked very pretty. The class and lower classes
marched into the church and took seats in front,
accompanied by the superintendent, Principal
Scott and Miss Jose. Splendid music, specially
arranged for the occasion. was rendered by the
choir. with solo parts by Miss Roulstone and
Mr.. Robertson. Prayer was offered by Rev.
Harry Hill of the Methodist church of this
town. The subject of Mr.. McElhiney's address
was, knowledge, the text found in the 9Th
chapter of Proverbs, Receive knowledge rath-
er than choice gold. Wisdom is better than
rubies." He followed along these lines
throughout the sermon, giving the young peo-
pie standing at the open door of life much
valuable advice. He cited the lives of many
great men, whose aim had been to acquire
knowledge rather than wealth. He spoke of
the writer of the text as the wisest and wealth
lest man of his time. The sermon was one of
intense interest to old and young, and one of
Mr.. McElhiney's best.

DAIRY INSPECTION.
The Law Demands II, and We Must

We had something to say in last

inspection and since then the State
Inspector and one of his assistants
have called at the office to talk the
matter over. They emphasize the
fact that the law governing such busi-
ness demands certain conditions, as to
care Of cows, milk vessels, ETC., and
in no wise to annoy them. If the
product of our Creamery is to stand
the tests prevailing in the city mar

must meet the tests Of the law And

Items From the Ice Plant.

On one of those genuinely hot days,
not simply warm, we went to the ice
plant to cool off, and we did, not by
watching the fire in the big engine,
but by stepping for moment into the
cold storage room. For the time be-
ing we didn't envy Peary at the North
pole or thereabOuts.
The plant is now turning out eight
tons of the frozen luxury day, but
it has a capacity of fifteen tons. Farm
vile is only using some four tons a
day, though as the ice is now made
within our gates we may have to
crack more of it,
The plant is a Cracker Jack" any
how. The ice is being shipped daily
and our sister towns are rejoicing in
the fact that Farmville has its own ice
plant. But what will the plant be
busy about when the snow comes
again? Why not supply heat for our
homes ? What an all-year-round lux
ury it would then be.
