Lois z. Wood Treworgy, and. with his
! parents, moved to Ellsworth Falls when
/ he was four years OF age He had lived
there continuously ever since. MIR
Treworgy began working in the mill
while mere boy and his strict attention
to his work won for him the full con-
fidence OF his employers, 80 that at the
age of TWENTY-FIVE he was running the
mills under contrast for his employers.
! This he continued wp TO the time he
bought out the mill from Hartshorn, Ellis
q Co., thirty-one yesrs ago this month.
Ar, Treworgy logged extensively dur
ing the winter, putting i'm camps and EN-
ploying large crews and many horses.
He was large employer OF labor during
the entire year, and was we'll liked by all
his employees GA account ef his integrity
and strictly fair dealings with them, con-
sequently they were always willing TO do
him good turn.
He was deeply interested in the welfare OF
his home city, giving iiberaiiy to local
needs, and any solicitation for q worthy
cause never WAS refused by him.
Mr.. Treworgy married Georgia A. Fer
maid Oct. 81, 1858, and to them six children
were born, five OF whom survive-Mrs.
Martin II. Haynes, Mile A. TreworEy,
Lura l.. Treworgy, Owen ii. Treworgy
and Ruth II. Treworgy. The oldest
daughter, Mrs. Byron p. GatchelI, died

grandchildren. Charles p. GatcheIi aud
Robert II. Haynes. Mrs. Treworgy died
in July, 1912. The family has the deep
sympathy of the entire community.
MIR. Treworgy had been i'll of cancer
during the entire winter, and although
suffering considerably, he bore up with
wonderful courage, even to the end.
He vas devoted to his family, and his
feelings we're reciprocated by every mem
Der, who did all possible for his comfort
The entire community feels the loss OF a
good citizen and a genial friend The
funeral was held at the home Sunday
afternoon at . O'Clock, Rev. Henry w.
Conley and Rev. r. b. Mathews officiating.
The interment was in the family lot at
Woodbine cemetery. There was an album
dance OF floral offerings from friends of

Teacher Shortage.

State Superintendent of Schools
Thomas, in letter to school officials and
the public, says:
sFrom present indications We shall need
from 800 to 1000 recruits to supply the
teacher shortage in September. Besides
the call TO the colors and the work Of mer-
cy in the Red Cross organizations, the
pull of greater compensation in business
positions and in clerical work for the fed
eral government have depleted our ranks.
Teachers who have taught for several on a
salary of $40 to fl2 per week for thirty-six
weeks in the year have accepted govern
ment positions. recently, at s1,l00 to
%, 200. The State department OF educa-
tion will soon undertake q campaign te
supply the shortage"

STATE CONVENTION.
Republicans of Maine in Big Gather
ing at Portland.

ing at Portland.
The republicans of Maine held thei
State convention at Portland last Thurs
day. 1t was one of the largest in TIN
history OF the party.
While the conventions now, under tn
| primary law, are merely get-together o.
platform making affairs, this one Lacked
nothing in enthusiasm.
Mayor A. C. Hsgerthy of the Ellsworth
| delegation was elected vice president fol
! the convention for Hancock county, ,anc
II. E. Wakefield of Bar Hsrbor was elected
the Hancock county member OF the COM
mittee on resolutions T. F. Mahoney Of
Ellsworth was reelected State committee
man from Hancock county.
The platform adopted pledged the sup
port of the republican party to the
administration in the conduct of the
war, and further recited that, though all
adequate preparations for war were not
made in 1914 and 1915, which resulted
in the loss of thousands of lives and the
expenditure of billions of dollars, this
had no effect on the loyalty OF the party.
National recommendations in the plat
form called for a joint committee to
supervise the expenditure OF war
appropriations, the adoption Of a compre
hensive budget system, ratification of
the national prohibitory amendment,
protective tariff and a stabilizing OF prices
so that farmers might be protected and
be independent.
The platform further stood for a good
system OF rural market roads connected
with the trunk highways and system of
''pay as the roads are constructed" An
equalization of taxation was urged and
sincere tribute to organized labor of
Maine was paid because OF the loyalty
shown. Liberal provision for men in
the army ana navy was urged.
On the plank dealing with the water
power question in Maine there was
lively de bate. The committee ON resoiu-
tions submitted two reports, the major
ity report being signed by eleven members
and tue minority report by four. Both OF
these reports agreed in adopting as prin-
ciple Of The party the prevention OF the
transmission of bydro-electrie energy be-
yond the borders of the State, and they
did not vary materially excepting that
the minority report advocated that the
State take over the undeveloped water
power, while the majority report only
provided for thorough investigation by
the State. After discussion lasting two
hours, the majority report WAS finally
sdopted by a vote of 107 to 81.
The convention closed with the speech
by Col. Roosevelt Thursday evening.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1918-04-03

The republicans of Maine held a
rousing State convention at Portland
last Thursday. In these Gays when
nominations are by primary instead
of by convention, the fact that it was
one of the largest conventions ever
held in the State is significant OF the
alertness of the republicans in these
critical times. Col. Roosevelt made
his first puoiic appearance since his
critical illness, and the reception ac-
corded him shove that he has lost
none of his strength with the repub-
hcans of Maine. His message vas
not to republicans of Maine alone, but
to Americans all over this land. The
sturdy Amerieanism, of which he is
the most striking example, rang true
throughout his speech, and thrilled
lis hearers Col. Roosevelt was a few
years ahead of his party six years ago
and two years ago. He is still
leader, but public opinion has fallen
in line in the path he has so consist
entity trod6en. Roosevelt in 1920"
was frequently heard at Portland, and
will be more and more frequently
heard in the coming months.

into the war. He faced the task OF
supplying not only the government
with it's war needs. but also the enor-
nous increased consumption of manu-
featuring plants and the domestic
needs of most of the 10000 900 inhab-
itants of this country.
Fuel Crisis Comes.
The difficulties were greatly In
creased because very few domestic con-
sumers had secured their winters sup
ply during the spring and early sum-
mer as is usual. The coal had all
been going to manufacturing indus
tries.
A fuel crisis existed before there
was any sort of an organization. State
administrators were appointed who in
turn appointed county and local ad-
ministrators. In this manner every
section of the country was covered.
This organization, from Doctor Gar
field down to the local administrators,
is made up of volunteers-men who are
not only giving their time but. in most
cases, are paying their own expenses.
The fuel administration has sue
ceeded insofar as its powers extend.
Potential production Is and has been
in excess of transportation. Doctor
Garfield has so adjusted price and
wage matters that there has been very
little difficulty among operators and
miners.
While distribution Is very largely 8

administration has regulated the dis
tribution of coal so that government
needs have been cared for, and. inso

needs. The administration has divert

Distribution of Coal Regulated

DRASTIC ACTION NECESSARY
Failure of Transportation During Win
ter Months Adds to Difficulties OF
Situation Arising Out of In
creased Consumption.
BY {. D. LEACH,
Assistant United States Fuel Admins
traitor for Ohio.

tFdkoF Tor Onto.
The United States fuel administra-
ton has three definite purposes, name
ly; TO regulate production. distribu-
ton and prices.
In mobilizing the resources of the
nation TO meet war conditions many
drastic Innovations have been neces-
sary. but none of them required more
prompt and complete regulation than
coal This is prominently a coal war.
To supply the enormous increase in
the demands for fuel by the United
States government alone would upset
ordinary distributing facilities.
The capacity of the coal mines is
limited as Is also the number of men
which can be spared from the army to
work them. Last fall DIR. Harry A.
Garfield, United States fuel administra-
tor, announced that the demand for
coal during the coming year would ex-
coed possible production by at least
loo.OOO0O0 tons. This shortage has
been greatly aggravated by the failure
OF the railroads during the winter
MOUTHS 10 transport anywhere near the
potential output Of the mines. Real
izing that a shortage was inevitable,
the fuel Administrations conservation
program was promulgated.
The fuel administration does not OPP
crate the railroads and until the gov
eminent took them over, had only
most indirect connection with them.
Doctor Garfield was not appointed fuel
