on account OF the loss and have general
oversight Of the necessary repairs; the

AN APPEAL TO
AID BELGIUM

acting upon suggestion from the
Pastors Union of this city, the Coun-
ell OF the Associated Charities, at
meeting held on the 10th inst, con-
sented to make that organization d
receiving and forwarding agency for
contributions for the relief of the suf-
fering people of Belgium
The following appeal has been issued
by a committee consisting of Rev. ].
B. Nicholson, Mrs. M. w. Bessey and
E. L. Craig:
However sympathies may be divid-
ed in the present unhappy conflict
whatever we may feel as to the pro-
priety of aiding in the work of the
Red Cross in this particular emery
ency-all must agree that Belgium
presents a most pathetic picture of
people who sought no quarrel. who
were in no way concerned in the af-
fairs which brought on. the war, and
who asked only to be let alone. And
yet they are, up to the present time,
the worst sufferers.
1T is as impossible as it is unneces-
sary to try to describe the unhappy
condition of this people. Destruction,
starvation, suffering, ruin, abound on
every hand, and the causes which
have produced these conditions have
so crippled the nation that self help
Is impossible. Belgium presents the
great opportunity for neutral Amer
lea, and America is nobly responding
to her appeal Generous and prompt
contributions are needed and solicited
from churches, lodges. societies and
individuals. The work is so organized
that every dollar given will be used
for relief work, without the burden
of large administrative expense.
THE treasurer of the Associated
Charities, Henry r. Hanson, is author
lied to receive and acknowledge con-
tributions made for this object,
through this organization"

Albert Wade Of this city has receiv-
ed from his son. Parker Wade, now
located in New York state a sample
ballot of the election recently held.
The ballot is 131axl9 inches and bears
on the back the statement that it is a
sample ballot for general officers coun-
ty of Jefferson, First Assembly Dis
trict, town of Adams First Election
District, Nov. 3, 1914. Instead of the
wholeb allot being divided vertically
by parties, 1t is divided into separate
nearly-square sections for each office
and these divisions are lined off for
each party, the name of John Doe be-
ing on the sample ballot in place of
the real name Of the party candidate.
Each repetition of the name Is pre-
coded by the party emblem, star for
the Democratic party, an eagle for the
Republican party, Moose for the
Progressive party, torch for the So
cialist party, fountain for the Pro-
hibition party. Each square, at the
left Of the names calls for repetition
of the party emblems, so that the
whole ballot looks something like a
collection of refuses in a Sunday
newspaper. An odd thing to Maine
folks is that judges and coroners are
elected, instead Of appointed. On the
vhcle, those who have seen the bal
lot have expressed the opinion that 1t
is superior to the form used in Maine,
though its adoption would be some
what confusing at first; but this con-
fusion would be not so great il every
body observed the instruction to vote
for one candidate in each square.
