| FLAG DAY. The American Flag Day Asso-
citation is sending out circulars reminding the
people of the country that Monday, June 18th,
will be the 132nd anniversary of the adoption
of the Stars and Stripes as the flag of the Unit
ed States, and urging, as usual, that the flag be
generally displayed from both public and pri-
vate buildings upon that day. Flag day is not
a recognized holiday, but it is an anniversary
which is well worth observing and the beauty
and the simplicity of the observance is some
thing that must appeal to all patriotic citizens
Just the general display of the flag, with few
moments of the morning hour in the schools
devoted to the story of the flag and its lessons.

BURGLARIEs IN LINCoLNvILLE AND WINTER
PORT. Two burglaries in Waldo county in one
day or night About three O'Clock last Thurs
day morning the residence of John Mariner at
Duck Trap, Lincolnville, was entered by a
burglar and about $50 taken. Mr.. Mariner
was away at work. Mrs. Mariner was awaken
ed by noise and saw man bending over the
bed of her children. She arose and struck the
man, but he knocked her down. rendering her
unconscious. He made good his escape with
the money, but in his haste dropped two SIS
bills from the envelope, so securing only the $50
The burglar had begun operations by making a
hearty meal on food found in the home. Mrs.
Mariner was not much hurt but both she and
the children were naturally badly frightened.
She was able, however, to give good descrip
ton of the burglar, who is thought to be an
old offender, and it is hoped he may soon be
brought to justice. When notified Sheriff Carle-
ton and Deputy P. G. Hurd went to Duck Trap
and investigated the matter. Wednesday night
or Thursday morning the safe in c. A. McKin-
neys grain store on Front street, Winterport,
was blown open and $s5 in cash and some pa
pers taken. 1t was evidently the work of pro-
fessionals and the sound was so muffied that
no one in the vicinity heard the explosion. AS
a shed in which gasolene was stored was also
broken open it. is thought the burglars may
have had an automobile or a launch.
