 The ballroom was tastfully decorated in the class colors of green and white, which was a very pretty arrangement. The entire guest company was a handsomely gowned one, and can easily be numbered among the most enjoyable events of many seasons. Punch was served all during the evening.

WILSON REFUSES
 LATEST DEMAND
Declares Request For Simulta- neOus Firing of Salutes Is
 Unreasonable.

Washington, April 17.-Presi- dent Wilson today fiatly reject ed General Huerta's suggestion for a simultaneous salute" to the American and Mexican flags, informing him that the United States would insist on a literal compliance with the original demand of Rear Admiral Mayo made April 9 in a written com- munication to General Zaragoza immediately after the arrest of American bluejackets at Tam pico.
 General Huerta has been warn ed that no further argument a. bout details will be tolerated and that unless the salute of 21 guns { is fired, serious results will fol- low.
 The Washington government informed Huerta that his wish for simultaneous firing of the sa- lute of 21 guns as demanded by Rear Admiral Mayo will be in- sisted on, the manner of return ing the salute to be left to the American admiral, who had a. greed to fire one to the Mexican flag. Naval precedents showed no simultaneous salute" ever had been fired in apology for an oaense.
 No time has been set for an answer to the final communica- tion sent today rejecting the sug- gestion twice made by General ; Huerta.
 ~
 Secretary Bryan did not know tonight whether there would be an answer to the American s last communication that is, ; whether the next step would be the firing of the salute or an- ether message on the subject. He did not expect word from Charge O'Shaughnessy before tomorrow.
 Until then the situation hangs in the balance, according to the opinion of the administration of- ficials.
 No reply to the last American note transmitted through Charge O'Shaughenssy had been areceived late today and no ord- CTS to the American was fleets to slow down or turn back had been issued. Administration of- fcials considered, however, the main point at issue-the ex- change of salutes-had been set tied; they regarded Huerta's "haggling over details" as play ing for delay.
 They believe the crisis is over but in view of the kaleidoscop. ic changes of the last three days said they would not be sur prised if the controversy over details becomes serious serious again.

The merry bells are ringing for the joyous

"Peace on Earth" they're singing, "Peace and

And there's laughter of little child-and it's
Christmas time again.
Oh! pray for the men in the trenches, in the
storming of shot and shell;
Who hear not mid roar and rattle the sound of

Who hear but the booming cannon and below
Of battle wild,
And forget that the bells are ringing and hear

May the merry bells aringing for the blessed

Bring peace to the earth with their Ginning,

fluous to point it out. Yetitseems to be

fluous to point it out. Yet it seems to be
totally lost to sight in times Of crisis.
''Of course those who sustain loss OF
capital or income must curtail expendi-
ture in proportion, but this is not what
Mrs. Fish condemns. She has in mind
the people who are boarding money be-
cause somebody else is pinched, and
there are tens of thousands of such per-
sons. Every day brings revelations OF
unnecessary economics, so great in some
directions as to be almost disastrous and
in others so small as to be ludicrous if
they were not in the aggregate dlsas-
trous also. Some of the retrenchment
is made in mistaken spirit of benevo-
lence. for the sake, perhaps, of example
or on the theory of not seeming better off
than ones neighbors. Some of it is due
to semi-panic psychology. Some no doubt
is prompted by an ill-timed impulse to
hoard money. Whatever the motive, the
result is mischievous. 1t is one of the
large causes, perhaps the principal one,
of existing unemployment and stoppage
of ordinary business gains"
In this connection a recent article in
the Saturday Evening Post is recalled.
1t refers to the boarding of money,
which is not confined to times like this;
of carrying on the person comparatively
large sums for which the owner has no
immediate use; of tucking 1t away in
bureau drawers or desks, between the
mattresses, and not unfrequently we read
of stoves used as repositories. All such
money if deposited in bank would not
only draw interest, but would become
working capital and benefit others as
well. This article is of general, not local,
application, but we are reminded that
Belfast has three financial Institutions
The Belfast Savings bank, The City Ma
tiona! bank and The Waldo Trust Co..
that will care for your surplus cash, pay
interest on it, and use it for the good of
the community.

The News of Brooks.

All the Brooks schools have closed for the
holiday vacation,
Rev. Mr.. Martin delivered fine Christmas
sermon last Sunday.
Mrs Samuel H. Lord of Belfast spent the
week end with her sister, Mrs. A. B. Payson,
in Brooks.
Miss Flora Tasker, teacher in the Interme-
date school. has gone to her home in Monroe
to pass the vacation.
The home of Russell G. Hamben was burned
last Sunday evening. The other buildings were
saved. No insurance.
Mrs. Inez Payson has been painfully and
DIR. Tapley of Belfast was called in consulta-
ton.
With the light demand for farm produce
business is very dull and currency very scarce
The farmers are having hard time of it this
year.
The first real snow storm of the season ar
lived Monday, Dec. 2lst and we shall without
doubt have the much needed sleighing to start
up business.
Mrs. Kate A. Lane has her new home nicely
fitted up and made very comfortable and con-
venient In fact, it is one of the very incest
homes in the village.
The pupils of the Brooks High school gave
another of their popular entertainments last
Thursday evening. They have been quite
successful in this line.
Miss Erma Barker, the West Brooks teacher,
gave a nice little entertainment with her
school the last day and several Of the parents
of the pupils were present to enjoy it.
Charles E. Bowen is still in bad condition
He has without doubt worked too hard for his
strength the past season and it seems a case
of breakdown. The rest cure seems to be the
principal prescription of the physicians.
Golden Crown lodge, No. 1O8, K. of P, is
having special work as usual and the Rank
team is kept busy, An occasional lunch, with
sociability, adds to the zest of the entertain
ments. Capt. Cheney Higgins is the present
Chancellor Commander and you may be sure
that every part is committed to memory.
1t is hoped that Frank Sargent of Monroe,
who was thrown from his wagon onto the fro
Zen ground and seriously injured, is perma-
nently recovering. Dangerous injury to the
brain at first feared. He was taken to the
Office of DR.. N. R. Cook and remained at his
residence for several days.
Frank H. Lane had the misfortune to lose
one of his nice team horses last week. The
mystery is, "What was the matter with hinn?"
He was fat and sleek and looked all right when
he was taken out of the stable to drink, but
laid down in the yard and died on the spot.
Mr.. Lane now lives the Dudley Simpson
place,
There has been special inquiry for the
Brooks correspondence of The Journal, and the
wish has been often expressed that the Brooks
column should be kept filled. Well, we feel
that few realize the expenditure of time and
labor necessary to keep a column of fresh
news ready for the issue each week. For
many years we have done the best we could to
present the interests of the town in credit
able manner, and we have received the habit
ual assistance and courtesy of the editor in
that effort. The town of Brooks owes much
to The Journal for its reputation as hustling
town.

THE WHOLE BODY
NEEDS PURE BLOOD

The bones, the muscles, and all the
organs of the body depend for their
strength and tone and healthy action
on pure blood.
If the blood is very impure, the
bones become diseased; the muscles
become enfeebled, the step loses its
elasticity, and there is inability to
perform the usual amount of labor.
The skin loses its clearness, and
pimples, blotches and other eruptions
appear.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood. 1t is positively unequaled in
the treatment Of scrofula and other
humors, catarrh, rheumatism, dys-
pepsia, loss of appetite, that tired
feeling. Be sure to get Hoods and
get it today. All druggists.

condemns as the unnecessary stoppage
of expenditures by those who have money
to spend. Mrs. Fish says:
Many women in New York are making
drastic economies in their expenditures,
not because they are obliged to do so but
because they think this is a good exam

Only nine of the fifty largest cities in
this country now retain the two-chamber
form of government They are Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Kansas City. Provi-
dence, Louisville, Atlanta, Worcester,
Richmond and Cambridge.
There have been several attempts to
have one-chamber city government for
Belfast, and strong arguments have been
presented in favor of the change, but
when it seemed most likely to succeed
the council has demonstrated its useful
ness by defeating some unwise scheme
originating in the board of aldermen.
What Belfast had to endure for so many
wears under one-man city government
would have been even worse but for
a council that sometimes asserted its in
dependence and manifested realizing
sense of the duty it owed to the COM
munity. Until we divorce our city affairs
from party politics and select the best
men for office, irrespective of their po-
litical affiliations, it will be wise to retain
the present form of government.
