WHITEFIELD

NORTH - Miss Donna Hussy.
daughter of Mrs. Ben Fowles. entered
into rest Nov. 8, at the age of II
years, after an illness of a short dura-
ton. The whole community sorrows
with the stricken relatives. The oldest
of the children and always thoughtful
for others. Donna, though so young
in years. was already the friend and
helper of her mother and guide and
comforter Of the little sister and
brother. An earnest and intelligent
girl, she had within herself the sources
of a great happiness which she uncon-
sciously carried with her wherever she
went. She was a sweet singer and her
voice will long be missed by her
schoolmates. Everything was done
that a good loving mother could do to
say the disease and her many friends
hoped for a complete recovery but
everything failed and she closed her
eyes in sleep only to open in the
Beautiful City. During all of her
sickness she was never heard to COM
plain but was always cheerful and
hopeful. She was dearly loved by all
her schoolmates and it has cast a
gloom over the whole community, and
the relatives and friends will not soon
forget the sweet face of one whom
they all loved. the face of one whose
life was a poem and whose death was
an inspiration. The funeral will be at
P. NJ. Sunday at the house.

HorticuIturist Wilkins Injured

The hosts of friends Of Clyde l..
Wilkins. the State hosticulturist, will
be sorry to learn that he is in the Au-
gusta General hospital, suffering from
injuries received last Monday night in
an automobile accident.
Mr.. wilkins and a party Of friends
were returning from a hunting TRIP.
the others being Lee Skidmore, owner
OF the machine, Donald Matheson,
Maurice Gray and Alvin Gray, all of
liberty. They were driving between Old
Town and Bangor and when rounding a
turn. a blowout occurred, the car skid
ding and turning turtle Matheson was
pinned under the car. the others being
thrown clear from 1t. He escaped with
bruises and minor injuries. as did all
the others except Mr.. Wilkins, who
landed heavily on his stomach.
He was assisted into Bangor by the
others and went to a hotel, where he
remained until Thursday night, when
he managed to get to Augusta. During
all this time he was without medical
attendance and was for part of the
time unconscious or semi-unconscious.
for he has little recollection Of what
took place. beyond the fact that he
was a great sufferer and could not
retain anything. not even water upon
his stomach, vomiting constantly. His
condition when he arrived at his Au-
gusta rooming place was such that a
doctor was called. who at once ordered
his removal to the hospital. His condi-
ton has since showed improvement
and 1t is hoped that his complete re-
covery will be rapid. His father, W. w.
Wilkins. and sister, Mrs. F.. S. Rus
sell of Wilton, were notified and now
are in the city.
The report from the hospital Sunday
evening stated that Mr.. Wilkins was
very much better and that he would
probably be able to resume his duties
in a few days.

Charles w. Mullen of Bangor has
been nominated in the Democratic con-
vention at Augusta in March, 1912, as
a candidate for presidential elector, but
he was disqualified from serving be-
cause Of the fact that he was a di-
rector in a national bank, so the name
of DR.. J. w. Sawyer of Dexter was sub
stituted by the Democratic state COM
mittee.

Infantile PARALYSIS

But few cases of infantile PARALYSIS
have been reported to the State Board
of Health during the past two weeks.
indicating that the colder weather is
proving an effectual check upon the
dreaded disease. DR.. A. G. Young, the
secretary of the State Board of Health.
stated Saturday that there had been
but seven cases for the entire State
for the week ending Nov. and six
cases for the week ending Oct. %.
The number of cases reported in the
State of infantile paralysis reported
to the State Board of Health from the
beginning of the present year to the
close of October is us, divided by
months as follows: February, 1: Au-
gust. 26: September, 48: October, 40.
1t appears in spite of the prevalence
of the disease this year that there has
been considerably smaller number of
cases than in 1910, the last preceding
year when the disease assumed any
alarming proportions in this State.

Bureau of Inspection

Chief A. NJ. G. Soule Of the bureau OF
inspection. Maine department Of agricul-
ture, reports the following cases recently
before the bureau for adjustment, on
complaint Of inspectors connected with
the bureau:
F. H. Snow Of Pine Point appeared Sat
urday morning charged with having sold
to an agent of the bureau on Oct. Is
quantity Of adulterated clans, the clans
upon examination showing that they were
too low in solids and too high In liquids.
John Snow of Biddeford appeared as his
attorney.
This case was the result Of investigation
which has been going on for the past
month or so by agents of the bureau to
ascertain II the proceedings Of last sea-
illegal practices, were giving beneficial
results. 1t has been found as rule that
they were. Mr.. Snow is a newcomer at
Pine Point. coming recently from another
state. Decision was reserved in this case
w. D. Spaulding Of Hallowell was at
the bureau on Friday in relation to
charge Of having, when essence Of pep
permint was called for, sold to an agent
Of the bureau a substance which upon
examination was found to be adulterated.
The hearing was postponed to allow the
securing Of additional evidence in the
matter.
Slow in Returning Ballots
About 50 of the town clerks OF Maine
are apparently taking their own time in
returning the ballots from the November
election to the department of State, an
nounces Ballot Clerk Harold E. Donnell.
This is an annoying setback for the off,
Gals who have to handle them at the
State House. and the delinquent clerks
had better look up the law and hustle.
Another matter is the fact that some
clerks have returned the ballots promptly
enough. but by parcel post instead Of by
express. as the law distinctly orders and
the printed instructions tell every CLERK.
To be sure, the ballots have arrived all
right. but the law says how they shall
arrive--hence any other method of con-
veyance is illegal and might cause at
least annoyance for the sender.
Mr.. Donnell was asked recently as to
the salaries Of the representatives at the
coming session of the Legislature and
the man incidentally inquired If he knew
anything about the law. Mr.. Donnell
modestly admitted that he was familiar
with that piece Of legislation, being the
engrossing clerk and handling the meas
ure through all Its stages. The salary,
by the way. will be $4OO. an advance of
an even 500 over that of last and previous
sessions, matter that will be appreciat-
ed no doubt by the legislators.

years in the interests of his hrm ana
that he has handled many thousand
barrels of apples. He declares the ap-
pies of Maine to be "of excellent quar-,
ity and for thes most part packed and
