COUNTY ROAD MEETINGS.

To be Held in Ellsworth on Thurs
day, April % The Com'r's Letter.
Commissioner Of Highways Paul D. Sar-
gent has issued a circular letter for the
annual county road meetings to be held
in April; the meeting for Hancock county
will be held in Ellsworth on Thursday,
April %. The commissioners letter to
road commissioners is as follows:
81 hope, IL you are unable to attend the
meeting for your county, you will plan to
attend some other meeting which will con-
venience you better. As l have frequently
suggested 1t seer,s to me entirely proper that
the town should at least pay the expenses of
its representative to this meeting, and l can
see no reason why 1t should not allow its rep
resentative q per diem while in attendance.
However. each board Of municipal officers
will have to decide this point for themselves.
Last year the expenditure on account OF
State road work amounted to s27s000, and
total OF eighty miles Of road was recon-
structed, and l believe 1t is far the best sea-
sons work in point OF quality that has yet
been done under the auspices of State aid.
"Indications this year are that an expendi-
ture ranging between s40O, 900 and $780, 900, will
be made on the State road, and it seems to me
it is OF the greatest importance that we
should all have thorough understanding Of
the specifications under which this work will
be done. These county meetings afford us
the one opportunity of the year for all get
ting together and considering these matters.
I'm the past it has been suggested that
these meetings interfered with the duties of
some boards in making their annual valua-
ton. This may be so, but April is the only
month that seems to be available for holding
the road meetings, and believe it is as much
the duty OF municipal officers to try to find
out how to get the largest return for the ex-
penditure OF their road appropriation. which
in many towns is the largest item of taxation,
as it is to make a just valuation of the taxable
property in their town.
"If you are not a town official for the COM
ing year, will you kindly hand this letter to
YOUR successor? We should be glad also to
have you attend aud give US the benefit Of
your past experience.

BUSINESS CHANGE.
George H. Grant Co. Insurance
Business Changes Hands.

George H. Grant Co. Insurance
Business Changes Hands,
An important transfer of business has
Just been concluded in Ellsworth. by
which Miss NJ. E. Holmes takes over all
the insurance business Of the George H.
Grant 20.
Miss Holmes, who has been in business
for herself about three years, took over
several Of the companies for which the
Grant Co. had the agency when she opened
her office. This latest deal gives her all
the companies OF this long esta bliehed
agency.
Miss Holmes has had long experience in
the insurance business, having entered
the Office Of George W. Fisk twenty-th three
years ago, and remaining with the Grant
company until three years ago, since
which time she has been in business for
herself. She is well qualified to handle
the large business Of the agency.
George H. Grant, the head Of the George
H. Grant Co., came to Ellsworth twenty
years ago and took over the insurance
business Of George w. Fisk. Mr.. Grant
had previously been in the insurance and
banking business in Bar Harbor. He
built up large business here and one OF
the most profitable agencies in the State.
His books show net profit for the insur-
ance companies he represented during the
twenty years of $4,000. This was due
largely to Mr.. Grants good judgment
and care in the acceptance OF risks. At
the same time he interested himself in be-
half Of his customers in securing prompt
payment Of losses.
Mr.. Grant will hereafter give his entire
attention to the development Of summer
resort property in which he has had sue
cessful experience at Hancock Point and
Sorrento, being at present particularly in
terested in the Sorrento Realty Co. He
will have summer offices either at Bar
Hsrbor or Sorrento, and in the winter will
spend most OF his time in Boston or New
York. Mr.. Grant expects to leave Els
worth early in the summer.

TR AIGHT TALKS
. WITH BOYS AND MEN
STRIKE OUT IN A NEW LINE
BY DIR. MADISON c. PETER

F YOU want the world to listen, you
must say something that will at
tract attention and compel convic-
tion. If you want the world to notice
you, you must do something worthy of
its notice.
We live in an age OF achievements,
when men are rewarded In proportion
to what they accomplish. The public
wants value for its money. and if you
can not give it. ii will pass you by
and deal elsewhere.
To get ahead of the other fellow you
must do something he is not doing, or
which he is not able TO do. You must
be original, you must follow some path
which is, not crowded by the feet of
thousands
Many of our greatest men failed time
and again when they entered fields in
which nature had not adapted them TO
labor, but who achieved immediate sue
cess as soon as they began to follow
the lines along which. the bent of their
genius was inclined They became
specialists in some particular depart
ment of endeavor for which their tall
ents fitted them.
BE an Originator
Originated Find out some new want
Of society, something that will serve
and benefit your kind. Don't wait for
the tide, plunge boldly in and strike
out. There is nothing more fatal to
reimbursement than stupid con-
servatism. Fear to initiate or create
a precedent has left many man in the
iurch and lost him the best years OF
his life.
Think for yourself. act for Yourself
and in doing so cultivate pliabilitv and
versatility. Never say you cannot do
this or cannot do that. You don't know
until you try, nor do you know tho
strength of your own forces until Won

Lobbying For Laws;

he was whip of the house In those days
rounding up members TO vote was more
difficult task than it is today The Re

and every time the Democrats discov-
cred Il or more members absent they
proceeded to harass the majority.
AS a result of these tactics Tawney
was kept on the job from the moment
the house met at noon until it adjourn

ness to know just where he could put
his hands on members absent from the
chamber who were not paired with

Tawney is something of a slave driver,
anyway. Being a busy little bee him
