Eugene Hale was born at Turner, Me-,
June 9, 1895. the son Of James Sullivan and
Betsy tStaples) Hale, Of Did English stock
which came from Hertfordshire to Massa-
ehusstts in 1855. He attended schools in
Turner and Hebron academy, fitting TOR
college, but did not enter, 1t being feared
at that time that his health would not
stand the strain.
Instead, he entered the Law Offices of
Howard & Strout in Portland to study
law, and in June, 1887, was admitted to
the Cumberland county bar. He located
frs. in Orland, but soon came to Ellis
worth and formed law partnership with
the late Thomas Robinson under the firm
name OF Robinson & Hale. Some time af-
ter the death OF Dir. Robinson, Lucilius
A. Emery, sfterwsrd chief justice, entered
the office, and the firm name became Hale
& Emery. Upon Mr.. Emery's appoint
ment to the bench, Hannibal +. Hamlin
was taken INTO the firm with Mr.. Hale,
and the present firm OF Hale & Hamlin
was formed. Mr.. Hale still retained his
mem bership in the firm, though not in sc-
tive practice for years.
MIR. Hsle's entrance into politics was
as county attorney OF Hancock county,
to which office ne was elected soon after
coming here, and which he held for nine
years. In 1866 he was elected to the
legislature from Ellsworth, and from
that time on his rise in political life was
rapid. Two years later he was elected
to Congress, serving in the lower House
ten years, and in 1881 he was elected to
the United States Senate. He was re-
elected term after term, until his volun-
tary retirement in 1911, after thirty years
OF continuous service in the Senate.

With four Hancock county towns
eover the top" and one community,
Eagle island, standing third among
the 500 towns and communities in the
State, Hancock county is making a
good showing in the war savings cam
paign. Eagle islands sales, sl,ss9,
are 242.4 per cent. of its allotment.
The other towns over the top, with
their percentages, are Aurora, 1894;
Sorrento, $50 8; Plantation 81, 1887;
Hancock, 101.s. Every county in the
State, however, will have to exert it's
utmost energy to reach its quota, as
Hancock county, standing fourth of
the sixteen counties, still has only IS
per cent. of its quota. Put Hancock
at the head of the list of counties.

President Wilson has sent ont an S.
o. s. political call. Elect democrats to
Congress at the November elections,
or l will be personally discredited,
he says in substance. "The return of
a republican majority to either house
OF the Congress would be interpreted
as Reputation of my leadership"
Politics had b en- adjourned" by the
Presidents own happy characterize
ton OF the situation, but politics has
been scaled to order" with a Jolt by
the partisan appeal, which is apt to
prove boomerang. The records
show the republicans of Congress
strongly and consistently aligned
behind the administration in its war
measures, and lacking the argument
of lack of support from the minor
ity side of Congress, the President
must perforce make it personal ap-
peal for a Congress he can control
absolutely. We give Mr.. Wilson
credit of recognizing the fact that the
people, in giving their support, make
a sharp distinction between the Presi-
dent of the United States, Mr.. Wilson,
and Mr.. Wilson, the President.

Dol. Roosevelt draws the following
logical conclusion from President
Wilson's appeal for the election of
democratic congressman: "If the
President of the United States is
right in the appeal he has just made
to the voters, then you and / have no
right to vote al this election or to
discuss public question while the war
lasts. If his appeal is justified, only
that fraction of the democratic party
which accepts toward the President
the rubber-stsmp attitude of COM
plete servility ie entitled TO control
Congress; and no man who is a re-
publican, and no man whether repub-
lican or not, who puts loyalty to the
people ahead of loyalty to the servant
of the people, is to have voice in
determining the greatest question
ever brought before this nation"

During the past week, notes have
passed between President Wilson
and the German government. The
President, in brief, turned over the
matter of arranging an armistice to
the military board of the allies, and
Germany replies that she awaits
these terms. 1t is safe to predict
that the terms will be nothing short
of unconditional surrender. Details
of the armistice will doubtless in
clude conditions under which the
German armies would evacuate
Belgium ana France; occupation of
strategic points in Germany by
Allied forces so as to remove the
possibility of renewal of hostilities;
rehabilitation of the German army;
restrictions on the manufacture of
munitions; occupation of strategic
naval bases and the treatment of Ger
man naval vessels and submarines.

Pa and Ma Need Thirty-one Minutes
of Your Time Every Day
By Winifred Black

myself for thirty-two minutes and
half once every day, and I'd think
about my mother during that time
and try to feel the way she must
feel once in a while, and try to
understand why she looks so tired
and old these days, and what 1t is
that makes her step not quite so
quick and light as it used to be.
Id take thirty-one minutes and
a half Of each day and think about
my father, and try to imagine what
would have become Of me II l
hadn't had him in the background
all these years. And Id interest
myself in the things that interest
him for just thirty-one and a half
minutes each day. and when he
came home at night Id talk with
him about them and watch the
tired look in his face change to
one OF astonished interest.
And I'd get over feeling as II
mother and father had had their
day, anyhow. and couldn't really
expect to be happy at their time
OF life. and I'd give them my
youth and my strength, and my
Joy and my courage. and my love
Of life and my light laughter to
lean upon; and then, some day,
when | was. forty-one. l wouldn't
sit alone looking into the fire and
saying to myself:
