DR.. N. Monroe Hopkins of Washing
ton, D. c., whose experiences in the
European war in the Red Cross service
and as prisoner of the Germans in Bel
GUM were told last week, is to lecture
for the benefit of the fund for the relief
of Belg1ans in distress. The lecture will
be illustrated with more than 200 slides
prepared from photographs made by DR..
Hopkins in the wake of the war, and in
many cases during the actual progress
of engagements. DR.. Hopkins was in
close contact with the fighting on both
sides and the story he has to tell must
be of intense interest.

celved stolen property ard was sent to

regretted his mistake and endeavored by
leading an honest life to show his fellow
citizens that he is entitled to their conf
ience.
Mr. Peters was enc of the Progressiv
spellbinders who visited Belfast during
the last campaign and addressed small
audience in post Office square, making a

The Eastport Sentinel gives an en-
couraging report on the sardine indus
try. Prices that recently dropped to
S275 for keyless oils have been ad-
vanced to $3.50, with promise of a
further advance, as at this price they
are the cheapest line of canned goods In
this country today, and the financial con-
ditions arising out of the European war
will tend to increase the demand for do
-mestic sardines. The Sentinel says:
The quality of this seasons pack has
been greatly improved over the outputs
of former years, and we now have an
article which can appeal to the very
highest class of retail trade. We pre-
dict that packers who hold sardines will
be able to sell their holdings at or above
three dollars when the trade starts buy.
