It will come now.


BOSTON Gtooe.l
The party line telephone, while a
community asset, is also moral La
bility. And sage counsel is offered by
William H. O'B-ien, chief of the tele-
phone bureau of the Public Service
commission; if subscribers will, as
the saying goes, ''teii it all in five
minutes" the neighborhood will gain
in harmony. Surely this is reason
able. Unless the speaker is reoiting
the story of his life to the listener at
the other end, few messages cannot
be delivered in five minutes, or four.
Everybody, sooner or later, who has
needed to use party wire has been
obliged to wait, with what grace he
could muster, while two anonymous
voices settled the fate of the universe,
resenting his impatient clicks of the
instruments with invisible sarcasms
aimed at the world generally, but
burning the ears OF an eavesdropper
who felt perfectly justified in his inn
patience.
MIR. O'Brien reports that there is,
in fact, less gossip over party lines
now than formerly. There is no
question but that people generally
mean to be fair 10 the other suo scrib-
ers. The thing to remember is that
in the telephone, as well as In all the
party lines OF life, there are Others
who have rights.

Thanksgiving is primarily harvest
festival. The fruits of field and or
chard are safely housed, and the hus-
bandman may take account of stock.
II the goddesses Ceres and Pomona
have been kind to him, he has much
to be thankful for. III his crops have
failed, he may still be thankful IL his
health and his home are spared to
him.
1t is in keeping with the festival
that he should take from his stores
and provide for himself and family a
harvest feast, and it is therefore nat
ural that the Thanksgiving dinner
should have become an important
feature of the day. Too often it is
made the feature of the day, and the
spirit OF thanksgiving gives place to
the hurly- burly OF dinner prepare
lions and the after dinner apathy of
over indulgence.
AS your own family assemblies
about the home table to-morrow, let
your minds wander to the war
wracked countries OF Europe-the
homes and the harvests swept away
by the flames of war, the scattered
and starving families. the provider
away at the front, perhaps never to
return.
Give thanks, then, not only for
your own harvests, be they bountiful
or scant; give thanks that your own
family is united; give thanks that you
live in land at peace with all the
world-but let your rejoicing be tenn
pered by a kindly thought and prayer
for suffering Europe.

with the following sketch:
In the appointment Of Everett w Lord as
dean of the college Of business admiutstra-
ton, the trustees have recognized the impo--
tant part taken by Mr. Lord In the organi-
ration and direction of this newest depart
meut of the university. The frst suggestion
Of such n college came from the Mems Gradu-
ate cln b, and was considered by the trustees
only with the assurance that financial sup
port could be secured. Dean Lord who was
then executive secretary OF the university,
undertook to obtain sufficient guarantee to
warrant the establishment of the college.
The task WAS not ar easy one, but II was ac-
complished - sixty-four OF Boston's promi-
nent business men becoming board Of
guarantors, pledged to pay any deficits In
CURED In the early years Of the course.
When the college was organized. In 1918.
Mr.. Lord, with the title of associate dean,
was given direct charge of the iBstitution;
DIR. F. S. Bald win was given the title of dean,
with the understanding that he was to serve
in an advisory capacity only. With DR..
Baldwin's resignation and the appointment
of Mr.. Lord as dean, the position of associate
dean Is allowed to lapse.
Dean Lord Is native OF Maine, the son of
a sea captain, with whom he. as boy. visited
the Atlantic ports OF Europe, Central and
South America. the West Indies, aud the
United States. After graduating from the
Ellsworth. Me-, high school, he became
teacher in the same school, and later was
elected superintendent of schools of the city,
though only twenty zone years of age. Later
he entered Boston University, and in 1900 re-
ceived his degree of A. b., and membership
in Phi Beta Kappa, having specialized in
Spanish and economies.
He served two years ms superintendent of
schools of Bellows Falls, w., and was then
appointed assistant commissioner OF educa-
tion of Porto Rico. This appointment came
without solicitation on his part, being based
on the desire to obtain for the post a prac-
teal school man, familiar with the Spanish
language. He remained in Porto Rico for
nearly six years, large part Of the time in
charge OF the department OF education.

DEATH OF ALBERT f. MACE.

Prominent Resident of Up River Sec
ton of Hancock County.
Albert z. Mace, one of the best-known
and most highly respected citizens Of east
ern Maine, passed away at his home in Au-
rora, Nov. IS, at the age OF fiity-nine years,
seven months and fourteen days. He was
not considered seriously ill, and was fast
recovering from recent illness. He had
that day spent the evening at his store.
He had retired only few minutes, when
the end came suddenly, caused by a stroke
of apoplexy.
Mr.. Mace had been a life, long resident
OF Aurora, a man of exceptional business
ability, one whose influence reached far
out in the surrounding towns, and whose
sympathy and help extended to all who
sought it. Above everything else in life
he held his home and family sacred, and
his genial loving presence will be greatly
mourned.
For many years he had been interested
largely in numbering operations. He also
carried on general store at Aurora, and
for several years served as postmaster.
He had also served his town as selectman.
In politics he was democrat, and one of
the leaders OF his party in the county.
Mr.. Mace was almost as well known in
Ellsworth as in his home town, and his
many friends here learned of his death
with sincere regret. He was director in
the Union Trust Co. of Ellsworth, and a
member OF Lygonia lodge. +. and A. NJ.
He leaves widow, Mrs. Helen Mace,
and four children-Mrs. r. Z. Bridges, of
Rutland, VT, Carroll Mace, of Bangor;
Russell Mace, senior at tho University
of Maine, and Miss Doris Mace. OF his
own family, one brother and two sisters
survive-Hon. Frank E. Mace, Of Augusta;
Mrs. Frank Garry, of Holden, and Mrs.
Mary Clinkard, OF Boston.
The funeral was held at the home Sat-
urday afternoon, Rev. r. B. Mathews,
pastor OF the Ellsworth Congregational
church and chaplain of the masonic
lodge, officiating. Harold s. Palmer, of
Bangor, sang two beautiful selections.
The floral offerings were many and beauti-
full, showing the respect, love and esteem
in which be was held.

We print on this page an article

Biblical Institute, Jerusalem, now at

treats of the effect of the entrance of
Turkey into the European war,
especially as to the possibility of it's
precipitating the long predicted

of political and religious movements,
his two years. residence in Jerusalem,
actively engaged in religious and
sociological work and study, brought
him in daily touch with situation in
the Near East that is now challenging
the attention of the whole world.
His letter, therefore, carries the
interest and the weight of first
hand observation. While DIR. Haskell

The slump in the fur market has about
convinced many Hancock county trappers
that they will not devote much time to
that industry the coming winter. Prices
high as those paid last winter, and the
reduction is even more pronounced In

Muskrats are unusually plentiful, but at

goodness and mercy.
Maine has been favored by Nature during
the season OF 1914, resulting in more than
average crops, and with an usually favorable
season for harvesting them. While we have
suffered some setbaeks in manufactures and
trade, the prospects for the future, aided by
the most terrible war in history, now waging
in Europe, seem encouraging.
wish to urge upon our people the contrast
of our peace and prosperity with the distress
and suffering in Europe.
The Red Cross society stands ready to re-
ceive and transmit promptly all contributions
for their assistance. Remember that charity
is the greatest of all virtues.
Let us all join in home and church in praise
and Thanksgiving to Almighty God for these
blessings of peace, prosperity and happiness.
Given at the Executive Chamber, at Augusta
Maine, this sixth day of November
in the year of our Lord, one thousand
nine hundred and fourteen and Of the in
dependence Of the United States, the one
hundred and thirty-ninth.
