Memorial Resolutions,

The Union Trust Co. of Ellsworth has
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, The directors of Union Trust
Company of Ellsworth have learned with
deep regret of the death of their associate
Mr.. w. A. Hsvey, of Franklin, who has been a
director of this bank ever since its existence;
and
Whereas, The directors of this company
deem it proper that r record be made Of their
sense of appreciation of the faithful and valu-
able services by Mr.. Havey to this company
during his term as director; now, therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of Mr.. Havey
the company has lost the services of an eff
cient and honorable director; and that, in
his death, the directors of this bank have not
only sustained q great personal loss, but the
institution has been deprived of an earnest
advisor whose services have been appreci-
ated; and further,
ResoEeed, That these resolutions be spread
upon the directors records, and a copy OF
them transmitted to the family of Mr.. Havey,

Turkish Baths.

The proper way to take Turkish
bath Is to devote plenty of time to the
process. On entering stay in the first
room, the moderately hot one, until all
feeling of oppression has passed of
Then move on into the second, the hot
room, as 1t is called. The third one.
called the oven, should seldom be used,
as the heat is too intense to be safe. 1t
is best to be content with a mild per-
spiration at first and to stay in too
short time rather than too long.
People are apt 20 think that the more
they perspire the better they will be.
but that is not the case, and, what is
more, there is az element OF danger In
prolonging the process. Taken quiet

baths are one 81 the greatest boons to

Curious Ways Of the Papuans.

= In the Girara country, Papua. dis
trict of New Guinea, where the coun-
try is almost entirely submerged. the
natives are said to claim descent from
the dog. They possess five totems,
which are drawn on all their houses.
Their villages are erected ON hillocks
so as to be clear Of the water, and the
people of each village inhabit one large
common house. sometimes as much as
four to five hundred feet long and six
ty to eighty feet In width. The center
of this huge building is kind OF COM
mon hall, which is used only by the
men, while the walls of the structure
are divided iuto cuPicles in three or
four floors, access to which is gained
by means of ladders. The women are
not allowed to enter the building by
the same door as the men. A great
deal OF sorcery prevails In the western
division. In the wilder parts of the
country the chief is himself head
sorcerer. He claims to be able to sep
arate his spirit from his body and to
send 1t on various missions. including
that of killing people.-Argonaut.

The Savannah River,

No one will take seriously the sug-
gestion of a correspondent OF the At
lanta Constitution that there is a
legend" to the effect that the Savan-
nah river was so named because an
Indian chief asked somebody to Save
Anna" his dsrghter. who had fallen
from boat inrb the river. But the re-
currence Of the puerile joke in the
form of the suggestion gives occasion
to say that the word savannah" is a
very old one. snd philologists tracing
1t to its origin go back to ancient
Greek through old Spanish. The Eng
lish meaning or the word, spelled with
out the final ~ is a tract of level
land covered With Vegetation, usually
grass or reeds, and void OF trees or
with trees occurring only occasion
ally. From the savannas along It's
banks the river was named. In the
level, grassy savanna is observed some

Convinced Both English and Arabs.

Lieutenant waghorn found 1t difficult
to convince the British postoffice OF
the value of the isthmus OF Suez as
means of shortening the letter route TO
India. He guaranteed to transmit
bag OF letters TO India and return with
others to England in the same time 1t
took the letters to go. He was granted
permission to make the attempt and
difficulties at once cropped up. Coal at
Port Said was $50 ton. at Suez 500,
so he loaded camels with coal and took
them across the isthmus. When he
reached Suez with the letters the
steamer which he had arranged to
meet him was not there. This diff
Guilty be surmounted by chartering an
open Arab boat and forcing the crew
at the pistol point TO take him the 600
miles down the Red sea to Jeddah.
where he found a steamer to take him
to Bombay and the return journey
he completed we'll within the time.
Thenceforward the isthmus route be-
came the overland route. for Waghorn
was able to convince the Arabs that
the protection OF the mails was better
than footing them. English gold being
his strongest argument.

CORN EXPERIMENTS.

Union Trust Company of Ellsworth
Receives Seed Corn from the West.
Some weeks ago THE AMERICAN printed
a letter from c. P. DeLaittre, of Aitkin,
Mimi, telling Of the experiments made
with a white dent corn especially adapted
to the northern part OF Minnesota, and
suggesting that it would be a good corn
for Maine.
The Union Trust Co. of Ellsworth, in
connection with its agricultural extension
work, took the matter up and sent for
some OF the seed for experimental purpos-
es. This seed has now been received, and
will be distributed among farmers OF Han.
cock and Washington counties by r. B.
Holmes, the outside representative OF the
company.
The seed comes from Charles Hendricks,
a seed corn specialist of Atkin,s Mimi,
who has made germ test OF it. He says
the seed sent tests SO per cent. pure and
germ test 81 per cent.
The Maine department of agriculture is
also cooperating with the Union Trust Co.
in these corn experiments, and is prepar-
ing circulars OF instruction to be sent out
with the seed, giving detailed instruction
as to methods OF planting and cultivating,
and selection of seed ears for another year.
Blanks for complete record OF the ex-
periments will also be furnished the farms
planting the corn.

There is little change in the Next
can situation in the past week. Car
rama, the rebel leader, has refused to
join issues in the mediation plan, and
there is a growing suspicion that
Huerta's acceptance of the mediation
proposals was merely to gain time,
and if possible to effect an alliance
with the rebels in opposing the United
States. The army chafes under the
watchful waiting in the broiling sun
on the outskirts of Vera Cruz, while
the Huerta forces are destroying rail-
roads and bridges and throwing up
defensive works between thatcity and
Mexico City. Such little incidents as
the Imprisonment of an American
consul do not tend to improve the
American temper or make more bear
able this delay in affairs.

If the people of the Mexican capital
pulled down the statue CT George
Washington they we're guilty OF very
bad manners as we'll as of ingratitude.
The immortal Washington passed
away from this earth while Mexico
was still Spanish vice royalty, but
the nation he helped to found aided
Mexico in the most acute crisis of its
existence. But for the moral pressure
which the United States put upon
Napoleon ILL.,, with military pressure
in sight, Macmillan might have made
good his hold on Mexico and kept his
empire going for some time. That
episode Mexican historians patrioti-
cally find it convenient to forget.
The small percentage of the Mexican
people who can read and write are
therefore excusable to some extent
for not realizing what the statue of
George Washington stood for. We
could not retaliate in kind if we were
80 inclined, for Mexico has not con-
tributed a great man to the public
suatuary gallery of the United States.

Historic Sense of Americans.

The good American does not feel a
stranger over here and we regard him
as one OF our own family. But why
does he come? Not altogether because
the call of common heritage lmpels
him. not entirely drawn by the attrac-
tons, commercial. artistic. social and
natural. of London and England. He
comes chiefly. perhaps. in obedience to
the historic sense which is innate in
good Americans, Wherever the his
toric sense may best be satis6ed-in
Rome, Athens, Paris. Madrid or Con-
stantinople-there the American is
found He may win his satisfaction in
a frenzied furry with guidebooks and
binoculars. only half digesting the
glories that he scamps. That is the
defect OF his quality. the consequences
of the habits of life which America
has thrust upon its sons. But the his
toric sense is there and, even uncon-
sciously. your good American is its
obedient slave-London Express.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1914.
Ready for the Primaries i.

hehuy LOT tnt II FlfhdFltss
The lines are drawn for the battle
of the primaries on June Is, when
the voters will decide upon the can
didates for the election in September.
The time for fling of nomination
papers for the primaries expired on
Monday. A complete list of the can
didates in the field appears elsewhere
in this issue.
There are fewer contests than at
the primaries of two years ago. On
the republican ticket, John A. Peters
for representative to Congress, Will
liam T. Haines for governor, Tim
othy F. Callahan for State auditor,
Melvin D. Chatto and Sherman s.
Scammon for State senators, Timothy
F. Mahoney for clerk of courts, Mel
vile L. Allen for county commits
sioner, and Boyd A. Blaisdell for
county treasurer, will be nominated
without opposition, while there are
contests in only two of the seven
representative classes. The big con-
test in the republican primary will be
for the nomination for sheriff, for
which FIVE candidates present them
selves.
The democrats, on the other hand,
have contests for all but four State
and county offices-W. R. Pattangail
for representative to Congress, Jo-
seph G. Harmon and William Fl.
Sherman for State senators, Jerome
81. Knowles for Judge of probate, and
Frank L. Heath for treasurer. There
are contests in three of the repre-
sentative classes. Locally, the chief
interest in the democratic primary
centers about the nomination for
clerk of courts, for which two Els
worth men will contest.
There are contests of sufficient i'm
portance and interest in both parties
to enliven the campaign.
