demonstration was given under the au

extension department OF the University Of
Maine. The cold-pack method OF can
ping was demonstrated, and many valu-
able points given In the selection Of jars
and products to be canned, as well as in
the method Of canning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Jordan last Friday
celebrated the sixty-sixth anniversary
Of their marriage. Not many married
couples are thus privileged; nor Is 1t
given to many, as to those two, to be
living, after SO long married life, in the
very house in which Mr.. Jordan
was born, which was built by his fat her
103 years ago. Four children, nine
grandchildren and fourteen great grand
children are to-day much indebted to
this happy union. Congratulatory
messages were received from Rev. p. A. A.
Killam and wife OF Oakland, with pinks
from Mr.. and Mrs. Charles p. DsLaittre OF
Aitkin, Mimi, from Frank Jordan
OF Minneapolis, with CONNECTIONS from

Another Main street fire Saturday even
ing about 10 O'Clock destroyed the milli-
merry store OF Mrs. Fred E. slivy. formerly
the Hight store. Mrs. Silvy had closed
the store but few minutes before, and
had just reached her home when the alarm
was given. The fire was al first attributed
to an electric iron, which Mrs. Siivy had
been using just before leaving, but in
vestigation after the fire showed that the
that some light fabric blew against the
still heated iron as she closed the door,
and thus started the fire. The fire was
confined to the store, but the entire stock
was destroyed. Mrs. Silvy had gone into
business for herself only this spring, and
the store was most attractively furnished
and stocked with new goods. She had an
insurance .of q 200, which will hardly
cover the loss. Mrs. Silvy " i'll not resume
business until next fall, at least.

Elisworth's most highly esteemed
couples, reached an important milestone
in their journey together last Wednesday
afternoon-the fiftieth anniversary OF
their wedding. With characteristic
modesty, they forestalled any effort on the
part OF their many friends. to celebrate
the event, announcing that they intended
to take trip to visit their daughters in
Massachusetts,. This, in fact, they had
planned, but later it was decided to post
pone the trip. The golden wedding,
therefore, passed without observance. 1t
is an interesting fact that not only are
Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson spared. for this
fiftieth anniversary, but Mr.. John II
Brimmer and Mrs. Keene, sister OF Mrs.
Robinson, who ''stood up" with them at
that important ceremony fifty years ago
are also still living. The AMERICAN
joins with the host OF friends OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Robinson in extending congratula-
tions.

Children's day was observed at the

other children were baptized in the even

have been larger. After the baptism
service, the Sunday school gave a unique

tween Elva Fernald and Harry Squirting,
dressed as children Of the Pilgrims, was
worthy OF note. Marion Squirting repre-
sented columbia; she came into the
room carrying "old Glory, and was fol-
lowed by other boys and girls who bore
flags of other nations. Miss Minnie
Squirting sang 1.-THE Star Spangled Ban

audience sang "Ameriea". 4 male quar-
tet rendered beautiful selection. The
old hymn, pilgrims, was sung as the
Sunday school and chorus marched out.

WAR GIVES NEGRO RACE
CHANCE TO AID NATION

To-day the American negro has
greater opportunity for effective
service and racial improvement than
ever came to any people in the his
tory OF the world" This Is the mes
sage of the Rev. DR.. Simon P. W
Drew In his Thanksgiving sermon
the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church.
The great world war has total
changed conditions in this country.
II has given to the colored race an
opportunity to serve and sacrifice
for its country. its men led to a
great extent by members OF their
own race. In the first fifty, years OF
freedom we had three commissioned
officers graduated from West Point
At that rate II would have taken us
1000 years to have as many officers
as have been appointed in the last
ninety days. We should give thanks
to God for the privilege of doing our
part in the war against the divine
right OF kingiy ideas that has pro-
duced conditions devilish In the ex-
treme."

seamen for the United States navy
are to be trained here in Washington,

squadron OF the United States power
squadron, by a series of free lectures
given at the American Institute Of
Banking rooms, 1914 F street north
west, beginning Tuesday evening, De-
cember 4. Navigation OF inland
waterways and the ocean will be
taught to all who are interested and
desire to aid their country.
''The United States power squadron
is volunteer organization" said DR..
Bennett today. at has branches all
over the country. such as the Poto-
mac squadron here, and its object is
to spread the science OF navigation
and seamanEhip as a means OF pro-
viding trained men for the navy. It
can perform a real service by having
men trained. and ready when the call
comes for duty on the seas"

this small area opens up to the world
a vision OF what has really happened
to the total of three millions.
Practically every village had been
utterly destroyed. The Germans
erected battering rams and leveIled
everything to the ground. They gath
cred all agricultural implements in
open areas and burned them They
razed orchardP. took ALL thoeks and
herds, and all men an -Iomen be-
tween the ages Of e. teen and
slxty-ive years OF age.
Billion and Half Needed.
q made a rough estimate OF the
immediate amount of money needed
to rehabilitate that little parcel OF
people. To support them a year. give
them implements, rough housing, and
get them back to the point where
they can get the land into cultivation
and get into self-support would run
between seven and ten million dollars
altogether. the north OF France is
probably faced with a total expendi-
ture OF a billion and a half OF dollars
for rehabilitation"

BILLION AND HALF
NEEDED TOREPAR
NORTHERNFRANCE

1t would bankrupt fifteen hundred
American milIIonaires just to put the
people of devastated northern France
back in mental and physical shape
to take care of themselves.
This was learned today in state
ments from Herbert C. Hoover and
the American Red Cross. The Red
Cross announced that it has appro-
prIated 100000 to start the recon-
struction OF northern Frances
3.OOO,O0 ruined citizens. and Mr..
Hoover declared the preliminary work
will cost not less than 81, SOC. .O00, 900.
Would Give SIeager shelter.
This amount would provide only
the most meager OF rough shelter,
limited amounts of the plainest food
and clothing, and a few agricultural
implements: Retrieving their lost
homes, fortunes, fiocks, herds, roads,
pastures, wells, orchards, towns. viii
lagos, and communication facilities
will be left to the people themselves
and will take years and years, and
many billions of dollars.
The Red Cross work, cables today
said, has been begun among the peo-
pie in the wheat districts. with the
idea OF relieving the food situation as
quickly as possible. Four villages
with a total OF 200 souls, were Sc
lected for the first $4OO.OOO
This is probably the greatest prob
lem OF all the war" said Mr. Hoover.
