"The Story of Europe" Includes the
Life Stories of These Famous
Rulers and Soldiers

History is largely biography and BIZ

Europe" will be found the thrilling
stories of the lives and achievements
of the powerful men who have played
with nations as with pawns. Here is
the romantic story of Napoleon, his
part in French Revolution, how he won
fame and rose to become Emperor,
how he held Europe in his iron hand
until wellington and Waterloo brought
his downfall and exile. Here is the
story of Bismarck and his great con
structive craftsmanship that made a
nation of Germany. Here is the story
of Gladstone, the Grand Old Man"
who as an apostle of reform helped
Great Britain to her high position as
World Power. Here is the story of
Garibaldi who did for Italy what Bis
marck did for Germany, by his patri-
otism and constructive ability bring
ing about Italian unity. Here are also
the great stories of Charles X, Louis
Philippe, Louis Napoleon, Victor En-
manuel, Disraeli. Gambetta, Boulanger,
and scores of others who in the nine
teenth century shaped the courses Of

ences that resulted in the unprece-
dented outbreak of 1914.

Fine Bird Exhibit Nearly Completed

A treat is planned by Curator
Thomas A. James of the State Mu-
scum for all lovers of birds who visit
the museum. This treat is in the form
of a bird exhibit which Mr.. James
expects to finish by the end of the
week, and it will undoubtedly prove
to be one of the most interesting of
the museum exhibits. The exhibit will
be shown in three separate compart-
ments of a large exhibit case, the first
being devoted to an exhibit of Cana
dian and brant geese, the second to
wood duck, and the third to green and
blue winged teal.
The backgrounds which Mr.. James
has painted for these exhibits are
beautiful and have already received
much praise. An ocean scene is paint
ed as a background for the geese ex-
hibit, and a flock of geese are to be
seen flying in the distance. The back
ground for the wood duck exhibit
shows a summer scene on the shallow
streams, the breeding grounds of geese
birds. And as a background for the
teal there is an autumn scene of a
salt water marsh.

of letting the fruit stay upon the trees,

Maine growers combined to put up a
better grade of fruit and adopted some
system Of advertising.
THE first thing to do is to find out
what the market wants and when it
wants it, instead of barreling UP some
fruit and sending to some commission
man whenever the producer needs a
little cash, trusting to luck that the
apples will get top market prices. 1t
is absolutely necessary that something
be done here in Maine and it is time
that growers took more active in

Local buyers in the past have pur-
chased by far the greater part of the
fruit shipped out of the State. This
year these buyers have been very
quiet, consequently the farmers de-

Forest Fires at Ellsworth and Argyle

Two forest fires have recently been
reported to state Land Agent and For
est Commissioner Blaine S. viles, one
fire being at Ellsworth and the other
at Argyle.
The fire at Ellsworth started from
an unknown cause on Oct. IA and burn
ed three days over a territory of about
20 acres, which had never been burn
ed over before. Only small growth was
burned and the loss was estimated at
5000. Men trenched the fire with dirt
and the rain helped in putting it out.
Orrin Clement, chief of the Ellsworth
fire department, reported the fire.
The other fire-at Argyle-started
Sept 30 and burned for two weeks
over territory of 300 acres, very little
of which was of green timber. 1t was
thought that the fire was started by
hunters. Nearly all the section had
been burned over Ia years previous
and the damage was slight. Men held
the fire at the edge of green timber.
Fremont Hatch, chairman of the board
of selectmen of Old Town, reported
