During seven months of the Euro
pean war ending July, 1915, which
period was under the democratic tar
id, there was imported into the United
States s11, 240,25 worth of wooden
goods, made in foreign factories, as
compared with ks, s70,1o OF such
goods imported during the CORE
spending period in 1918, which was
under the republican tariff law. This
clearly indicates that English mills
are not only busy in supplying their
own war demands for woolens, but
are producing enough to increase
their exports to the United States.
During the seven months ending
July, 1914, Immediately preceding the
outbreak of the war, imports Of
wooden goods from foreign countries
amounted to s29, 23s, 274. representing
an increase for this period under the
democratic tariff law, over the similar
period in 1918, Of about $50 per cent.
or an increase of $40, 0OO, 900 worth Of
wooden goods which displaced that
amount of goods which should have
been made in the mills and factories
of the United States, employing
American labor.

Country Doctor Found
the Right Liniment.

"Down East" as they say OF Maine,
there lived good old Doctor Abner John
son. 1t was little country town where
every family knew the value OF keeping a
good iiniment on hand. -
They were Woodworking people. often
exposed to cold, and nearly everyb body
had the .'rheumatiz", especially muscular
rheumatism, and hard work gave them
sprains. bruises and such pains.
The doctor studied and experimental
and finally found recipe Tor liniment
that took the pain right out OF all these
ails. 1t somehow seems to get right at
the trouble and takes the pain away quick
Yet 1t is so harmless you can take It in
side as well as rubbing it ON the skin.
So the recipe found by good old Doctor
Abner johnson was put in bottles and
called "Johnson's Anodyne Liniment".
Probably you have heard OF it many times.
Whenever you want good liniment re-
member and buy 'Johnson7s Anodyne
Liniment", the recipe Of cid Doctor Abner
johnson. 1t can be bought wherever
medicines are sold.

An Important Case.
| Portland Express.


A month ago Maine lobster wardens
were refused the privilege Of boarding the
smack McNichol, suspected OF having on
board short Holsters. The captain put to
sea and returned to Boston. War;, nts
were issued, as provided in the new Maine
lobster law, the captains arrest was caused
and he was tried. The court sustained
the wardens, found the captain guilty.
The case has been appalled, and goes to
the law court for final settlement.
The captain OF the smack was found
guilty on two counts, refusing the war
dens the right of search and the exami-
nation OF his papers. The captains bond
was declared forfeited and his license was
revoked SO far as Maine waters are con-
cerned.
The keenest interest is now being mani
tested in the decision which the law court
will make, for il the license law shall be
declared unconstitutional the work OF the
last legislature in it's efforts to safeguard
the lobster industry will have gone fer
nothing. II it is decided that the Boston
smackmen cannot legally be overhauled,
the only thing left for Maine, If it would
save its lobster industry, Is to enact a
law uniform with that OF Massach usetts.
Otherwise the short-iobster piracy, which
has fourished for so many years between
Maine and Massachusetts, will be carried
on with redoubled energy by the Bay state
smackmen.

NEEDS
PURE, RICH BLOOD

Pure blood enables the stomach,
liver and other digestive organs to do
their work properly. Without it they
are sluggish, there is loss of appetite,
sometimes faintness, deranged state
of the intestines, and, in general, all
the symptoms of dyspepsia.
Pure blood is required by every
organ of the body for the proper per-
formance of its functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood, and this is why it is so sue
cessful in the treatment Of so many
diseases and ailments. It's acts d.
rectly on the blood, Kidding it Of
scrofulous and other humors. II is
a peculiar combination of blood-puri-
flying, neve-toning, strengthening
substances. Get it today.

In the American Magazine Stanley
johnson is writing series of articles
entitled, "Youth Leads the Way"
which records some OF the recent
wonderful agricultural achievements
of boys and girls between the ages of
ten and eighteen. Jerry Moore, a
fitteen-year- old boy, of South Caro-
lima, established a world record for
corn growing, with the result that an
awakened interest in corn growing in
the state increased the annual out
put of South Carolina from 1000, 900
to $4,000, 900 bushels year. The
agricultural extension service of the
University of Maine offers the
same opportunity to the boys
of Hancock county that Jerry
Moore had. Are they taking advan-
tage Of it? Are they receiving the
encouragement they should from
their parents? Right here in Els
worth is county farm agent ready to
point the way. Get in touch with
him now, and lay your plans for next
spring.

The Elections.

Elections held in several states
yesterday show Enthusiastically the
trend back to the republican party.
Republican gains are reported all
along the line. The progressive
party vote has shrunk to negligible
quantity.
Three states voted on woman
suffrage - Massachusetts,, New York
and Pennsylvania. In all the suffrage
amendment was overwhelmingly de-
feated. 1t is very evident that the
eastern states are not yet ripe for
suffrage, and the suffragists have
many hard campaigns before them.
Returns from Massachusetts indi-
cate the election of Mccall, republic
can, as governor By $500 plurality,
and decided increase in the working
republican majority in the legislature.
The suffrage amendment was defeated
by a vote of nearly two TO enc. The
progressive vote fell to about one
fifth of the vote two years ago, and
was only about one half that of the
prohibition vote, which was more
than doubled.
In New York, three republican
congressman and republican ma
jority in the legislature were elected.
The suffrage amendment was de-
feated by majority OF nearly 200, 900.
In twenty of the largest cities of the
state, fourteen republican, five demo-
cratic and one socialist mayor were
elected.
In New Jersey the republicans
gained two state senators, giving
them working majority in the
Senate.
Pennsylvania defeated woman suf
frage by an overwhelming majority.
The republicans regained control of
Philadelphia, electing their candidate
for mayor by plurality of $4,000.
Ohio defeated a state wide prohi-
bition amendment by about SO, 000-a
decrease from last years SWEET" vote.
Kentucky and Maryland have APP
parently elected democratic gov
ernors, by reduced pluralities.

STATE HIGHWAY.
Further Repairs ON Bangor Els
worth Road Authorized.

Further Repairs on Bangor Els
worth Road Authorized.
At meeting OF the governor and coun-
Gil last Wednesday at Augusta, confer
ence was held between the council and
State highway commission and members
OF q committee from Ellsworth and Bar
Harbor appointed to urge immediate
action in the matter OF road Improvement
on the State highway from Bangor to
Bar Harbor south OF Haynes hill. Among
those present were Hon. J. P. Bass,
OF Bangor, and Charles H. Leland, Roy c.
Haines and Frank 8. Lord, Of Ellsworth +;
James Shea and w. H. Sherman, OF Bar
Harbor.
MIR. Haines presented the case for the
committee, making q plea for immediate
action this fall or early spring.
Mr.. Leland said the condition Of the
strip wss such that unless repairs were
made this fall or early in the spring it
would be necessary to close the highway
for good part OF next summer, thus me-
cessitating the use Of detours and greatly
inconveniencing the thousands Of summer
people and residents of Maine who would
use the road.
Mr.. Shea, Of Bar Harbor, represented
the wishes of a mass meeting Of about 400
Bar Harbor citizens, recently held.
Hon. J. p. Bass made strong plea for
immediate attention. He said that the
people of the entire eastern part Of the
State, so far as had been heard from, were
in favor OF prompt attention to this strip
OF road which, in its present condition,
was disgrace to that section and to the
State. He said il there was no fund avail
able to meet this expense, he would loan
$4,000, without interest, to the State I'M
til the sum should be available.
State Highway Commissioner F. A.
Peabody said that the commission, with
members Of the executive council, had
been over the ground, and agreed as to
the necessity for the work, and were held
back only by lack of funds. as every avail
able dollar for this year has been ex-
pended or contracted for, SO that If the
work was to be done some special pro-
vision would be necessary.
Following the conference the governor
and council passed the following order:
"Ordered, That the highway commission
be, ard is hereby authorized. to make such
expenditures as they may deem necessary on
account of new construction work, not to ex
coed $4,000, and charge the same against the
fund for administration and maintenance and
to reimburse said fund for administration
and maintenance from the State highway
funds as soon as said funds become available
in 1915. This order is only to apply to the
Bangor Ell Ellsworth road"
Work on the new section OF road began
yesterday, with Mr.. Schoppe in charge.
The work will be pushed as rapidly as
eossible while the weather permits, and
will be resumed in the early spring, when
it is Hoped to complete the road to or be-
yond Tyler's corner.

privileges, being allowed to go to Houl-
ton to attend the funeral of a relative,

is understood that there is no warrant
for the warden of the State prison to
grant such privileges without instruc-
tions from the go sernor or supreme

/ PROCLAMATION.

Almost 100 years ago the people Of Maine,
in order to establish justice, insure tranquil
ity. provide for mutual defence, promote COM
mon welfare, aud to secure to themselves and
their posterity the blessings Of liberty,
formed themselves into free and independ-
ent State by the style and title Of the State Of
Maine.
They acknowledged with grateful hearts
the goodness Of the Sovereign Ruler of the
Universe in anording an opportunity SO IA
vorable to the design, and implored His aid
and directions in its accomplishment.
The accom- ishment has been going on
with more or less precision but there is
equal need to petition the Throne for con-
tinued directions to still greater achievement
in accord with broader development and
more extended vision.
There is every reason to reiterate our
thanks to the Almighty for that opportunity
and for the blessings poured out ON this
people.
This opportunity is presented also for more
especial thanks to Him for the peace and
tranquility which pervade this State and
this country at time when distress and sor-
row predominant among such large propor-
ton Of the people of the world.
In rendering thanks for all our blessings,
the SORROWS and sufferings Of those less
fortunate should not be forgotten, and sup
plications should go forth for the mercy of
God in their behalf.
Therefore, realizing the blessings received
and the need of continued appeal to the Su-
preme Ruler, hereby set aside,
