Hancock One Of Three Maine Coun-
ties to Exceed Quota.

Hancock One Of Three Maine Coun-
ties to Exceed Quota.
Hancock was one OF the three Maine
counties-Kesnebcc and Washington
the OF hers-to exceed its quota of families
signing the pledge cards in the food con-
servation campaign OF last week. Roy Z.
Haines, county chairman OF the campaign,
pledged 1900 signers; the county has
returned over 1900, and this on . smaller
number OF families than the original
estimate was based upon. Mr.. Haines
tells the story Of the campaign in the
following letter:
ELLSWORTH, ME-, Nov. 7. 1917.
To the Citisens Of Hancock County:
1t is . pleasure through the columns Of
THE ELLSWORTH AMERICAN to express
my sincere thanks to all who have assisted
in and responded to the national food
conservation campaign.
First Of all, there are 375 women and
men who have assisted on the various
committees throughout the county, max
ing the house, to- house canvass. 1 wish
especially to thank the chairman and
vice-chairman in each place for their
splendid corporation.
1t is extremely gratifying that cam
paign OF this magnitude, reaching 5000
families and over 5000 citizens OF our
county, should BE- conducted with such
dispatch and with 20 many pleasing as
sociations end incidents.
The quota for Hancock county was ex-
tremeiy high. The Official estimate for
Hancock county was s,620 families, with .
quota OF $500. The number OF families
estimated vas far in excess of the actual
number. Consequently, in raising our
50 per cent. OF the number Of families es-
timated in the county, we were raising ap-
proximately 30 per cent. OF the actual
number.
As it is, Hancock county has already
secured over 1900 pledges to the national
food administration, or about 102 per
cent. of its quota. This should be very
gratifying to the citizens OF our county,
and satisfactory to the scores Of earnest
campaign.
wish especially to mention the good
work OF Walter Hadlock of Cranberry
Isles, who practically unaided returned
142 cards from his town. He exceeded
his quota by AZ, was the first to complete
his entire canvass, and returned greater
number Of pledges in proportion to the
population than any town In the county.
The valuable work Of other committees
should also be recognized. Bar Harbor,
Ellsworth, Castine, Gouidsboro, Mt.
Desert, Penobscot, Sorrento and Winter
Harbor are worthy Of mention.
The results Of the campaign give won
derful expression OF confidence in the
food administration, Q splendid express
sion of patriotism, and q keener interpre-
tation and appreciation OF the war and the
position in which this country now finds
itself.
This has been woman's campaign. In
great many instances the men, as chair
men of the committees, have responded
well to their duties, but in the ma ority OF
committees the men have chosen rather
to permit the women to carry on the
work.
lam proud ofthe record Hancock county
has made in this campaign, and l take
this means Of expressing my pride, to-
gether with my thanks.
Very truly yours,
Roy &. HAINEs,
County chairman.

Chant of the Maori.

An interesting and pathetic scene IL
often witnessed in the camps where
there are Maori soldiers. These Occa-
sions are when Maoris who have been
wounded I'm battle take leave Of their
comrades on the eve Of their return
to their homes. in many cases to fight
no more.
Before their departure those who are
left behind set up mournful, though
melodious, dirgelike chant, the pathos
Of which invariably brings tears to the
eyes OF those who hear it. 1t is their
chant Of farewell to those brothers In
arms who have shared their dangers
and who will never fight side by side
with them again.
The Maoris place their faith a great
deal in green jade luck charms. Green
jade has with them a traditional in
terest, for it was OF this material that
the tomahawks Of the ancient Maori
chiefs were fashioned.-London Mail.

Rapid PAINTING.

Sir Edwin Landseer had promised q
picture for the spring exhibition Of the
British institution In 1916, but on the
day before the exhibition was to be
opened all the hanging committee had
received was an empty frame, which
was duly hung In the position Of honor.
As the prospect Of receiving a pic
ture for the frame seemed to the COM
mlttee to be slight, member thereof
went to see the artist. He found Land
seer standing in front Of a bare can
vas.
That's the picture l promised" said
the great man, pointing to the canvas.
81 have not touched it yet. but l will
send 1t to the institution tonight"
And he was as good as his word. A
few hours later the completed picture
was delivered and may be seen today
in the National gallery. This wonder
full work Of half a dozen hours was
none other than the universally admir-
ed Cavaliers Pets"

Fr.e w.ter In The Earth.

The amount Of water held In the
rocks or other materials composing the
earth varies greatly. owing TO many
causes. The amount absorbed de-
ponds on the porosity of the material.
the slope Of the surface and the size
aud abundance Of joint cracks. assures
and cavities. The amount OF water In
drift or surface materials Is dependent
to some extent on the nature of the
underlying rock. and the amount which
finds Its way into the solid rock
Is dependent OH the thickness OF
the everything surface deposit. The
amount Of water contained In the
earth's crust Ito depth Of three miles,
has been estimated by different writer's
with widely different results. A re
cent estimate given by the United
States geological survey. department
Of the interior. Is that the total
amount of free water In the earth $
crust would be equivalent to a uniform
sheet over the entire surface OF the
earth having depth Of about 100
feet. This is but small fraction OF
the estimate made by other writer's.

EATING an Eco.

Is there any corner Of the earth
where the homely egg has not found
It's way? 1t forms a substantial food
to all nations, and 1t is not curious that
different natiOnalities have different
ways of demolishing this eatable.
Eating an egg with a spoon would
be sacrilege to Spaniard He bOils
his egg just one minute, then breaks
the contents into IA glass and drinks it
as If it were wine. The Italians place
their egg In cold water and remove it
just as the water boils. Then they
break it on plate and eat 1t with
bread.
English cooking prevails in France
in regard to the egg. Three minutes
in boiling water is the rule. 1t is then
broken into a glass and mixed togeth-
er with salt. pepper and bUtter.-LOn-

Winning q Fur Coat.

The artist Hans Canon once painted
a Russian prince In a magnificent fur
mantle which took the artists fancy so
greatly that he endeavored to hit on a
plan by which he might retain posses
sion Of 1t. On sending home the por-
trait he omitted to return the garment,
and to the letter requesting him to do
so he made no reply. One day when
looking out Of q window he saw the
prince coming toward his house. Has
tily slipping into the garb, Canon sat
down in an armchair near the lire.
The prince, who had come for his coat.
started on seeing Canon groaning and
trembling at the f1reside. What is the
matter with your he asked. "Oh,'
groaned Canon, 81 don't know what II
Is, but / feel so weak and wretched,
and cannot get warm. Two days ago
my brother died Of smallpox, and l am
a bit nervous about myself" The art
list kept the coat.

In q storm at sea. with q gale blow
ing In one direction and the sea run
ming In the opposite direction, 1t takes
a stanch ship to stand the water pres
sure on one side and the contrary wind
pressure on the other.
Stability Is one Of the greatest prob
lens to the constructor Of steamship.
Naturally the center Of gravity should
be low. The hull must be Of such a
form that when the vessel rolls to one
side the center Of buoyancy shall move
sufficiently far to that same side for
the forces Of buoyance acting upward
to right the vessel.
A badly designed ship Is liable to
many dangers. II light I'm the stern the
screw may come out Of the water, race
and be snapped Of. II too low In the
stern when running before a storm
breaking waves may fall on board and
so tend to swamp the vessel. A ship
may be top heavy, There comes mo-
ment when the upward force Of buoy
ancy no longer tends to right the ship.
but instead exerts its force In pushing
the ship still farther out of perpendicu-
lar. with the result that she capsizes.-

Course of Your Tears.

Have you ever noticed two tiny holes
ut the nose end Of each eye? Prob
ably not, for they are very tiny, like
pinholes. But II you look at your eye
carefully in mirror you will find
them. They are tear ducts or tubes
Your tears start behind your eyebrows,
at the narrow end Of the eye. They
pass out below the eyelids. and the
blinking Of the eyelids carries them to-
ward the other end Of the eye, where
the ducts or overflow pipes collect and
carry them down into your nose. That
is why you are apt to blow your nose
when you cry.
A flow Of tears Is going on all the
time to lubricate the eyeball 1t is
only when you are under powerful
emotion that they overflow.

The Lion of st. Mark.

The symbol Of the Venetian republic,
the famous lion of st. Mark, Is made
of bronze. There Is tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds. They are really white ag-
ates. faceted. Its name is most elab-
orately wrought, and its retracted,
gaping mouth and its fierce mustaches
give it an oriental aspect. The crea-
ture as 1t now stands belongs to many
different epochs, varying from some
date previous to our era down to this
century. 1t is conjectured that It may
have originally formed a part Of the
decoration of some Assyrian palace.
st. Marks lion it certainly was not
originally, for 1t was made to stand
level upon the ground and had to be
raised in front to allow the evangel to
be slipped under its fore paws.
