answer ives" or mo-. The questions

answer ives" or mo-. The questions are:
 l. Are you ready to accept active duty in your home city or its imme- diate vicinity should occasion require?
 2. Are you ready to accept active duty at camps of mobilization, where recruits will be examined?
 8. Are you ready to accept active duty in Army hospitals in the United States or elsewhere?
 1. Are you ready to accept active duty with troops in the field?
 3. How soon after receiving notice that your services are desired can you leave your home?
 It will be noticed that an opportuni- ty to do other effective work is here given those who, while willing to do their part, for some reason or other are not able to go to the front. Many of the officers are men who have or ganizing ability, who have been con- nected with hospitals, and who, for this reason, would be of great assis- tance in administrative work. Some now belonging to the Medical Reserve Corps are men beyond the age-limit for entering as volunteer surgeons for military service or, in fact, for active work in the field In time of war, however, says The Journal of the American Medical Association, there is much to be done besides following the troops; recruits must be examined, hospitals equipped, hospital supplies of all sorts selected, inspected pur- chased and distributed, base hospitals maintained, and wounded and incapa- citated men transported. All of these duties can be performed by men who, though they have not had actual mili- tary training or experience, are able to relieve the regular military officers whose services can be utilized where they will be most valuable.

HIS PERIOD OF ENJOYMENT
Farmer Surely Had Earned Rest, But He Waited Just a Little
 Bit Too Long.

Once there lived a farmer who worked SO hard he was too tired to go to church on Sunday. says Frank Tel ford in Farm and Preside. His hired men refused to stand for the first and last call to breakfast at 3:45 in the morning and left before the end of the week His wife milked the cows and hoed the garden because help was so hard to keep. The farm CT voted against hard roads, and when he was elected to the school board hired for teacher a young girl just out of high school. because she would take the job for &30 month. Tn short, he squeezed the dollars so hard the eagle screamed. He would steal acorns from a blind pig.
 When the farmer was fifty he had half section of good black land in the corn belt and money in the bank earned rest. But his stomach was so tired of corn bread and bacon that 3 went on a strike and the farmer Rte milk toast. He could predict storm before the first cloud appeared, by the creaking of his joints. and he had to call for help to turn over in bed. One day his doctor said he had made enough money to buy new touring car and the farmer died of heart dis ease.

Such is Fame.

During the recent campaign for United States senator in Alabama a crowd of anti-Hobson citizens in a small South Alabama town were dis cussing the merits of Richmond Pear son Hobson and his opponent Oscar w. Underwood. One of the crowd who seemed little more enthusi- astic than the rest, and who seemed to be leading in the argument, asked the question: What has Hobson done anyway" A long lank native who had put in his appearance in time to get the question pushed his way in- to crowd, with the remark:
 "1'll tell ye; he sunk the Titanic, by jiminy."

Aucocisco House.

A glance at the register of the
tourists now at the Aucocisco House
is sufficient to indicate to anyone
that this house is having a most ex-
cellent season. The guests are reg
istered from many different points,
including Baltimore, New York City
and others.
There is every reason why the
Aucocisco House should enjoy the
popularity which it does, for Mrs.
Bachelor, the proprietor, is one of
the most capable ladies in the bay
when it comes to catering to the
convenience and desires of summer
tourists. The accommodations at
the hotel are always of the first
class and the table is unsurpassed
by any in the bay. The guests who
have spent a summer here are al
ways enthusiastic about their treat
ment. and bring back with them
newcomers to try the house, who in
turn go away singing its praises.
The past week at the hotel has
been most pleasant. Several Of the
guests have been on motor boat trips
and others have enjoyed a rest and
picnics or land parties on the island,
which is one of the far-famed pic
ture spots of Casco Bay With the
welcoming of new guests and old
friends, and the various diversions
the week has been delightfully."- taken

very prosperous season at his fam
Gus ice cream and confectionery
store near Mackerel Cove Landing.
The ice cream and other dainties to
be procured here are the superior of

and Bailey Islanders are indeed for
tunate in having such a high grade
establishment close at hand. Indeed
this store has become so much a
part of a summer season at Bailey
that it has become almost indispen-
sable to the residents.

it as a part of the summer itself to
go TO that house.
