success Assured.
But little over one week remains before
the opening OF the Ellsworth food fair at
Hancock hail. The committee of the Ellis
worth merchants association, which has
been working so hard for the success of
the undertaking, feels that its success is
assured.
All the spaces in the hall will be filed,
ana there will be many attractive exhibits
by out-of-town companies. To give addi-
tional space for exhibition purposes, the
refreshment booth will be in the cloak
room opening of the gallery. This room,
fitted up as palm garden, will be an at
traction in itself.
The agricultural exhibit, which has
grown to such large proportions that it
will be a fair in itself, will be Of great
educational value to the farmers OF this
vicinity. This exhibit will overflow the
banquet room in the lower hall.
The talks on domestic science by Miss
Comstock, Of the University OF Maine,
with cooking demonstrations, will be
given in the municipal courtroom. 1t is
cafe to say this well be popular place for
the housewives of Ellsworth, and we
doubt not, for some of the men folks, too,
as there will be samples good of cooking
going around.
Thus the food fair, with it's branches
has outgrown its quarters OF last year,
and will occupy all the available space in
Hancock hall.
Another week will see actual work be-
gun on the hall in getting ready for the
food fair. Andrew M. Moor, who has
been appointed city electrician for food
fair week, will get up the big electric sign
in front OF the hall and wire the hall for
the special lighting OF strings OF Japanese
lanterns.
Then the booths will be erected, and
everything put in readiness for the ex-
hibitors to step in and arrange their ex-
hibits for the opening of the fair.
Monaghan's orchestra will furnish
music, and there will be an hour or two Of
dancing every evening after certain
hour.
