Summer Smock.

It would be impossible to create a
more artistic garment for summer
wear than the smoch. Young girls and
slender women find it exceptionally
becoming. The loose and straight but
pliable lines Of the sm0ck conceal and
even beautify defects, Stimulating a
pleasant roundness Of figure. The ma
terials used for them range from cal
leo to georgette crepe. One very prac.
teal smock Is very much like large
allover apron, for 1t buttons on the
shoulders, is very long and shows
huge pockets capable Of holding any
necessary articles, from knitting to
farming implements!

June 6 Is Opening Day for Min
nesota Pledge Week for
Their Purchase.
GOING over THE TOP"
Director Culver Confident That Loyal
ty Of People Will Bring oversub-
scription of States Quota of
$47,Ooo,o00.

Director D. S. Culver OF the Mime
sofa War Savings Committee today
set aside the week starting June
9th and ending on June 18th,
as Minnesota pledge week
for the purchase OF war savings
stamps. In making the announce.
ment, he evinced confidence that the
loyalty of people in this state will be
manifested by pledging themselves to
make purchases during the balance
OF this year which will result in over.
subscribing the states quota of SAT-,
100000.
All county chairmen are now pre-.
pairing for the drive that will soon
start. In messages sent from state
headquarters in the Metropolitan
bank building, Minneapolis, a few
days ago, sub-chairmen were asked
the probabilities of their respective
counties going over the top in the
coming drive. Practically all replied
that they expected to exceed the
amounts allotted to their counties.
During Pledge week all citizens in
Minnesota will be asked to pledge the
purchase of War Savings Stamps dur
Ing the balance of 1918 on a minimum
basis of $40 per CAPITA" said MI
Culver today. This does not mean
that each is to be asked for cash sub
scriptions. Minnesota must raise her
$47 100000 quota during the year and
the present amount, something less
than $4,0o0,O00, does not make a very
good showing.
$50 optimistic are reports coming
In from the various county chailmcll
that it has convinced us a great ma
1Ority Of counties will not only secure
pledges for their required quotas, but
will quite likely exceed their allot-
ments"
County chairmen are already add
Ing to the personnel Of their cam
paign committees with the cxpecta-
tion Of making hundred per cent
showing during the big thrift stamp
drive. Several recently have visited
headquarters here in an effort to de-
rive new ideas and straighten out
minor details so the work during June
will go along without a single hitch.
Vice Director J. II. Meyering head
Ing the sales forces, said the purpose
of the campaign is not solely to ask
Immediate cash purchases. On the
contrary. he explained. the pledges to
be made during the week from
June to 13. are for w. S. S. pur-
chases throughout the year. These
will probably be on a monthly basis
to extend through the coming months
IN equal portions.
"The purpose Of the government in
fnaugurating it's War Savings Stamps
sales is to encourage thrift" said Mr..
Meyering. THAT means that citizens
can save from unnecessary expendi-
lures enough money to buy their
quota OF savings stamps. If all do
that the campaign in Minnesota will
be great success"

HINTS FOR W. S. S. CAMPAIGN
Worker Gives Suggestion to Make
Pledge Week Success.

Minnesota can exceed her quota Of
$47,OO0,000 in the War Stamp Pledge
Week drive beginning Thursday
June by observing the following
hints, said prominent worker:
Aiding the w. 8. S. campaign is
giving help to the Allied cause and
to U. S. soldiers;
Buying stamps is mailing planj
in the nations ultimate victory owe
the enemy;
Pledging purchases to he made
throughout the year means support
for those engaged in forever putting
down a regime that glories in the
murder of women, children and other
civilians;
Creating interest on the part of
others to buy w. S. s. is helping to
build monuments for those heroes
who have died and been wounded in
fighting for YOUR protection;
He who does not pledge 500 as a
minimum for each person dependent
upon him is not helping America to
make the world safe place to live
in;
You can lend helping hand to
those who are today fighting YOUR
BATTLES j. the front line of trench
es by buying or pledging TO buy your
FULL QUOTA OF WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS. This applies to every man,
woman and child in every township,

PLunkETT WARNS OF
revolt IN IRELAND
Only Establishment 81 Stable Gov
ernment Will Avert Crisis,
Leader Says.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
Dublin, May 6.-Declaring the gov.
ernments conscription home rule pol
Icy is disastrous, Sir Horace Plunkett,
chairman of the recent Irish conven-
tion, in letter to the press, suggests
the immediate establishment of a re-
sponsible government in Ireland as a
way out of the difficulty.
"At the gravest crisis with which
the empire has ever been faced" says
the letter, "the government has staked
its existence on a two-fold Irish policy
transcription and home rule. 1t can.
not achieve both except at cost Of
much bloodshed and lasting hate.
Failure Is Foreseen.
"They might achieve the first and
by 1t make the second impossible. In
my opinion, they would fail in the
attempt, and have to go on leaving
both undone. Their successors then
| would have to find a way out of the
worst Irish situation in my memory,
"AAiSA SoSo DoSN W luS Cultu udyS,
| fifty years ago.
Asserting his opinion that it is pos
sible even now to achieve the double
purpose, Sir Horace says further:
There is only one alternative to
the disastrous policy upon which the
government embarked: Namely, to
set up Immediately q responsible gov
ernment in Ireland.
War Measure Proposed.
THE report of the convention has
shown this could be done with the
| supper. Of a large body of National
list and Unionist opinion. They should
pass through parliament without de-
lay the necessary legislation.
"The moment the bill is passed an
Irish executive broadly representative
and composed OF responsible men who
| would not shirk the burden of their
| brief authority, should be appointed
and given the task of setting up Il
parliament as quickly as possible,
promoting voluntary recruiting and
generally carrying on"

Until two weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs.

children during their six years Of mar
ried life. Now they have two in
fants born just a week apart-and
it all came about in unique way.
They had a wedding anniversary
on April 25 to which their friends
were invited. Before the guests ar
rived, however, the door bell rang
and there, on the front porch when
they answered the bell, they found a
basket in which was wrapped a wee
infant. How delighted they were.
Taking it into the house they re-
moved the coverings and there, sure
enough, was their much longed for
baby. 1t was a Baby Bond Soon
the guests arrived and extended hear
ty congratulations, for the baby-the
Baby Bond-was their gift to the hap
py couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. (censored) have
vowed they are going to have q large
family Of children for they have
pledged themselves to purchase four
War Savings Stamps (Baby Bonds)
each month during the balance Of this
year. BY SO doing, they told their

ing their wishes to raise good sized
family as well as to give Uncle Sam

The allied nations have made

In the meantime Americas
meat supply has been greatly
increased for some months to

The United States Food Ad-
ministration, endeavOring to ad-
just the international food bal
ance. promptly removed certain
restrictions in this country on
the use Of meat and at the same
time asked for a smaller con-
sumption Of breadstuffs.
We are asked to observe only
one neatless day each week

meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to a minimum.

FARM BUREAU WORK.
Plans for County Contest, Annual

Plans for County Contest, Annual
Meeting and Seed show.
1t will be welcome'news to many people
OF the county, and especially to those o.
the farm homes, to learn that at the last
meeting Of the Farm Bureau executive
committee the date of the annual meeting
| OF the bureau was changed from October
26 to November Ia, the day on which will
be held the second annual seed show OF
the county, at Hancock hall, Ellsworth.
This joint meeting promises to be one
of the best the county has seen for some
! time, for an attractive program is being
arranged, which, taken in combination
with the excellent exhibit of good seed
| already assured, should draw a large at
tendance from all over the county.
The 1919 membership drive OF the bureau
will start next Saturday, Oct. 5, in over
seventy communities of the county, and
already a few members have voluntarily
pledged themselves. AT Northeast Harbor
on the evening OF September 2S branch
OF the bureau, with ten members, was Or
| ganized following the local contest of the
boys and girls agricultural club, and
many more members are in sight.
One feature Of the drive this year will
be the enlistment OF the women OF the
| county and Farm Bureau members, for
now that the county has an efficient home
demonstration agent, the women can have
large share OF home demonstration
work which has long been their due.
On October 1878 the one great event Of
the whole year for the boys and girls Of
Hancock county will take place in Els
worth, when all members Of the agricul-
tural clubs who have completed the re-
quirements Of their projects will come to-
gether for their third annual county con-
test. There will probably be more than
500 in all, and the program OF the meeting,
which will be announced soon, insures an
event that will long be remembered.
| The exhibit alone this year promises to
be one never yet equaled at any county
contest, and the person " ho fails to attend
all OF the sessions, and especially that OF
the morning OF the second day, when
county prizes and scholarships are
awarded, will surely miss q grand sight.
| An added attraction at the contest this
year will be the singing OF the county
club song, written to the tune of "Over
There" by Alice Mayo McGouldrick Of
Bluehill. It is the first county club song
in Maine.

There are six of them. six sons of

And the six sons of the arch Hun?
Where are they when danger calls?
They are brilliantly placed 'in COM
mand" and then disappear from the
public eye only to reappear at some
safe vantage point or in revolving
escapade with victims of invaded
countries. Only one of them, the
Crown Prince. has ever been re-
ported In battle and then hedged
| about SO that no harm could come to
him.
For all his dashing about the Kali
ser himself has stayed far from the
danger zone. This self-styfed CO.
partner with God takes care to sur
round himself with his legions, his air
planes and every other known de-
vice to protect him from his enemi1 )
whenever he invokes the Divine
protection in the open field.
Just <one Of the imperial family

and mount complete for the United

ception of the airplane machine guns,
which cost $3.50 it is the least expen-
