FOR NAVAL ACADEMY.
Examination + or appointment From

Examination For appointment From
This District.
The President having ordered the class
OF 1918 at the United States naval academy
at Annapolis to be graduated this year, an
unexpected vacancy exists. The appoint
ment from the third congressional district
of Maine will be made by Congressman
Peters.
The candidates named by him, a princi-
pal and three alternates, mus be ready to
take the government examinations June
"a.
As this is an unusually desira bic time in
which to enter the academr, Mr.. Peters
has numerous applications, and has de-
cided to hold a preliminary competitive
examination at some place in the third
district, to be named later, upon plan
similar to that adopted last fall when a
cadet was named for West Point.
A board composed OF educators and
naval men will be named by MIR. Peters,
who will conduct the examination. 1t is
recommended that sll young men DESTROYS
OF competing, communicate with Mr..
Peters. Candidates must be residents OF
the third district, sound physically, and
between the ages OF sixteen and twent y
years.
This is great opportunity for some en-
terprising young man, who can pass the
various examinations, to obtain a fine
training and education, and serve his
country at the same time.

HOOVER, A SELF MADE
MAN, BEGAN AT 81 A DAY
Has Followed Mining Profession
In Many Sections OF the
Globe.

Herbert c. Hoover, or Bert" as
Stanford men know him, was one Of
the first graduates In mining turned
out by Leland Stanford university
after that institution was founded. He
started his career as an ordinary miner
at So day. but soon managed to find
desk reom as mining engineer in San
Francisco. From there he went to Aus
tralia and made fortune out of an
abandoned gold mine by subjecting It
to modern methods
European capitalists found him a
position as mining expert for the
North China government shortly be-
fore the Boxer revolt. When that re-
bellion occurred he hurried Mrs. Hoo
yer, also Stanford graduate, to Tien-
tsin. and together they went through
the siege. Hoover occasionally man
ming machine gun.
When the Boxers were finally sub
dued Hoover found his fortune and
prospects gone, but he carried coal
concession TO London and began life
over. There his rise was rapid, and he
acquired mining interests In Burma.
Mexico. Australia, China. California
and Russia. He centered on zinc, and
nis speciality was developing run down
properties.
When the war broke out he gave up
his business and served on the Amerl-
can relief commission. There be
showed such rare executive ability
that he was made chairman of the Bel
gian relief commission. Since then his
career las been part of the history OF
the great war and known to the whole
world. He has now been put in charge
of conserving this nations food supply

A general meeting will be held at

when a boys and girls agricultural
club will be organized Everybody is
invited, school children and their
parents especially. These clubs are
doing wonderful work in Hancock
county. Ellsworth had astonishing
evidence Of it at the county meeting
held here last fall. This year, instead
of some seventy five girls and boys,
some 400 are expected to attend the
county meeting here. Ellsworth Falls
has been leader in this club work,
but Ellsworth proper has never been
represented. 1t is high time she got
in line. The boy s. and girls agricul
tural clubs are destined to play no
small part in the more food cam paign

CLUB WORK.
At present there are eighteen boys and
girls agricultural clubs organized in Han
cock county, with approximately $50
members, and great interest is being
taken III the WOrk.
Realizing the important part the boys
and girls can play in the program OF ma
tionsl preparedness, and what they may
do toward making many families more
nearly self sustaining, the General Edu-
cational Board Of New York, which or
ganization is giving complete financial
support to extension work in this county,
has increased its appropriation for club
work in order that the organization Of
clubs may be pushed to the limit.
No greater good fortune could befall
Hancock county than to be allotted two
additional club workers, whose duties will
be to assist in the organization OF clubs
wherever posi- BILE, and the State could not
produce two persons better qualified to
carry forward this great work than Mrs.
Nancy Abbott Young OF Hancock aud
Martin A. Garland Of Lakewood. With
this efficient team added to the extension
service, club work is bound TO make great
progress, and 1t is safe to say that by May
Is there will be at least thirty-five clubs
in this county, with . membership OF
approximately 600 boys and girls.
The greatest need Hancock county has
Is boys and girls club in every COM
munity. The clubs offered this year are
boys potato club, boys and girls garden
poultry and pig club, girls canning and
housekeeping club. Any community
which does not already have a club should
get in touch with the county agent at once.
and help in getting started will be given
as soon as possible.

Public opinion is growing in favor
OF CONSUMPTION, or compulsory mil
tary service, with seiective draft, as
against the volunteer system, though
it is still evident that there will be
q determined resistance to the plan
in Congress. President Wilson, in
recent statement, defines briefly
just what is meant by selective
draft. s'Our object" he says, sis a
mobilization of all the productive
ana active forces OF the nation and
their development to the highest
point of cooperation and efficiency,
and the idea Of selective draft is
that those should be chosen for
service in the army who can be most
readily spared from the prosecution
of the other activities which the
country must engage in and to which
it must devote great deal OF it's
best energy AID capacity.
'sThe volunteer system does not do
this. When the men chose them
selves, they sometimes do SO without
regard to the other responsibilities.
Men may come from the farms or
from the mines or from the factories
or centers of business who ought not
to come, but ought to stand back of
the armies in the field and see that
they get everything that they need
and that the people of the country
are sustained in the meantime"

Girard Halves Is Now Serving In I'm

A Manchester, N. H., paper, says:
Girard Foster Halves OF North Brooks
Vile, Me-, is a patriot and q minuteman OF
the first order. About two weeks ago,
while Commander Client was in the re-
cruiting station OF the navy in the Riddle
block, husky young fellow breezed into
the office and, standing in the middle OF
the floor, said: "pm here to serve my
country, gentlemen. Where will you have
me?'
He was . tall, athletically built fellow,
and was fresh from the farm. He had the
idea that he was wanted by the nation and
took the quickest way to enroll in the SER
vice. Chief Percival took him in charge
and signed him up for the navy. Halves
had been working near Derry, but his
home was in North Brooksville, which is
175 miles from Manchester.
He wanted to 60 home and see his pa
rents and friends before shipping in Boz
ton, so his papers were held until his re-
turn. He told the chief he would be back
here, either Monday or Tuesday. There
are men who get faint hearted before the
time to return, and never show up. The
chief had great confidence in this chap,
however, and was sure he would come
bss <.
List evening Halves walked into the
off>e and said, "Here am, sir" He was
given bis papers, and he left for Boston ss
an apprentice seaman in Uncle Sans navy.
He pad his own fare and travelled q dis
tsnce II $50 miles to bid his people good
by, - lore he started on his service.
