Notice to Correspondents:

AT the War Savings Stamp rally on Tues
day afternoon Mr.. Garner Reeves, Of Chaphco,
who presided at the meeting, mentioned an In
cident in his work as Fourth district chairman
OF the stamp campaign that seems to us to call
Tor more than passing comment.
Mr.. Reeves stated that he approached a
prosperous farmer, one who by reason of high
prices for tobacco and other products, is direct
beneficiary Of the world war, and was met with
flat refusal to purchase War Savings Stamps
or in any way he lip to finance the nations that
are battling to protect him in the ownership aid
enjoyment Of his acres.
When the very pick Of the countys young
manhood are freely offering up their lives in
France, when the shadow Of sorrow and anxiety
for its loved ones has been cast over practic-
ally every home In ST. Mary's, when the great
majority of our Poop are practcing every
economy and self-denial that our brave sons
may be well cared for and we'll armed, it comes
as distinct shock to realize that we are har-
boring traitor with soul so warped and shrunk-
en- that he would withhold from our noble
boys the support upon which their lives and our
safety depends, while he prospers and grows
rich upon the self-same war that has necessitated
their sacrifice.
Does that man every stop chasing the all
mighty dollar long enough to realize that only
the most democratic and benevolent nation on
the globe would ask him to lend his morley at
good rate of interest when the emergency and
the need would warrant it in arbitrarily requisi-
toning every penny that he had ?
Can he look out over his broad fields, npen-
ing with the wealth to satisfy his avarice with
out the accusing consciousness that three-fourths
of it is the direct result Of the world war which,
in his selfish greed, he would prolong until our
own boys are numbered with the martyred sons
of our Allies2
Can he sleep at night, content in the posses
sion Of his lands and the safety Of his home,
without contemplating what would happen to
him and his if the Prussian horde ever reached
these shores2
Is he SO intent upon the pursuit Of wealth and
his own personal pleasures that he does not
know that the on y title he has to either---the
only bulwark between him and poverty and
slavery, is that furnished by the heroic men, to
whom he refuses to supply either the arms or
the provisions with which to insure his freedom
and protect his property
1t is ferventy to be hoped that the case cited
is an isolated one. We find it impossible to
review the proud history Of this grand old coun-
y, with her generations Of loyal sons and
daughters, without entertaining the most implicit
confidence that St. Mary's contains few citizens
as undesirable as the one encountered by Mr..
Reeves.

The cigarette industry-the
result of a rich mans hobby

SWEET CAPORAL founded
the cigarette industry in this country
As years ago this month.
Way back in 90, while on tour
ofSouth America, Mr.. r. S. Kinney,
a wealthy New Yorker, smoked
some native cigarettes strong
affairs wrapped in coarse, brown
paper.
But those South American ciga-
rettes gave MIR. Kinney big idea
He believed if cigarettes could be
made both pure and mild, they
would eventually become the
worlds most popular form of
smoking because cigarettes are
not only a short smoke, and easy to
carry, but they are an inexpensive
smoke.
On his return to the States, MIR.
Kinney devoted his fortune, and five
years of his time, to the working
out of his hobby.
Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1918-07-25

SWEET CAPORALS were the
result They are the first American
cigarettes, the first pure and mild
cigarettes and the first to be made
of Golden Virginia tobacco, blended
with just dash of Turkish.
Forty-five years have not shown
how to make cigarettes purer or
milder. Like mothers pie, the
cigarettes which started the modern
cigarette industry simply can't be
improved upon.
That is why SWEET CAPS"
are made today Kinney's good old
fashioned natural way-why men
who can smoke the most expensive,
smoke SWEET CAPS, and why
the London Lancet, the worlds
leading medical journal says:
SWEET cAPORALS are the
purest form in which tobacco
can be smoked"

DID THIS HAPPEN ON YOUR
FARM?

Following is an extract from a let
ter received by the U. S Food Ad-
ministration from a farmer who be-
ieves that conserving farm imple-
ments Is the first step toward rails
ing more food:
~...... Sf25 worth of farm machin-
cry stood outside an empty shed !
said to the owner. I will help you
pull them in To which he replied,
If you don't like the looks OF things.
you may drive along"
In acknowledging the report OF
this unusual occurrence the Food Ad-
ministration points out that Ameri-
cas- and the Allies war strength de-
ponds In large measures on our ex-
portable reserves of food. Farmers
ara asked therefore to consider vast
age OF machinery in more serious
light than in pre-war years. especial
ly In view OF shortage and high cost
OF materials and labor
Nations which entered the war
earlier than the United States fully
realize the importance of putting
farm implements to the best possible
use in addition to conserving the pres
ent supply. In Italy, the Minister OF
Agriculture is authorized TO requisi-
ton, for the period Of the war and
for the crop year following the dec
laration OF peace all agricultural ma
chinery and the materials necessary
for crop production.

OBITUARY
MISS NELLIE FRANCES DRuxxEY.

hloc NrsLAtE rEANGfS bHNAAEt.
Miss Nellie Frances Drummey, second
daughter OF Mr. and Mrs. NJ. ]. Drum
mey of Portland, formerly Of Ellsworth,
died in Norway Wednesday, Oct. i6, after
short illness OF pneumonia.
Deceased was resident Of Ellsworth up
to about three years ago, having been
employed for several years as book keeper
for the Ellsworth Hardwood Co., at the
same time teaching In the commercial de-
psrtmeut OF the high school. After her
parents moved to Portland, Miss Drum
u1ey accepted a position as secretary and
Office manager OF the Carroll-J Jefferson
Shoe Co. at Norway, which position she
held most efficiently until her death.
She was young woman of remsrks bic
business ability, wonderfully successful
in all undertakings, and her progressive
career has been watched with interest by
her many friends. Possessed OF kind
and generous spirit, she was ever ready to
lend helping hand to those in sorrow or
in need, making nothing of her sacrifices
il she bat knew that she had helped. She
had host OF kind friends who appreci-
sted her friendship, all of whom are
greatly ssddened by her untimely death.
Every available effort in the line of
medical skill was made during her short
illness to save the life which was so
precious to her grief-stricken family.
Hopes were held out until the last day,
and her condition seemed to be improv-
ing rapidly, but she finally succumbed
during a sinking spell from which she
was too weak to rally. During her last
moments all the family were with her
with the exception OF her brother, who is
with the American xpeeitionsry forces.
She leaves, besides her parents, five
sisters-Mrs. Homer Miller, Mrs. George
B. Fisherty, Misses Mary, Kathsrine and
Margaret Drummey, all OF Portland, and
one brother, Corp. Joseph {. Drummey,
now overseas.
The body was brought to Ellsworth
Thursday, and private funeral services
were held at her former home on upper
Main street Saturday, Rev. p. F.
Flanagan, of st. Joseph's Catholic church,
| officiating. The bearers were L. NJ. Car
roll, James True. Thomas Thibodesu,
Percy Movers and w. IL. Haskell OF Nor
way, and e. l.. Drummey OF Ellsworth.
The great proiusion of beautiful floral
| tributes were silent testimonials of the
| esteem in which the deceased wss held.

II there is any one in doubt whether
farming can be made profitable business
IN Hancock county, the record Of the past
seasons work of Z. w. Strstton OF Han
cock may be interesting. He harvested
his 800 bushels of grain, and has now fin
ished digging more than 1900 bushels of
nice, large, sound potatoes. With the ex-
ception of some help in planting and har-
vesting, the raising of these crops has
been almost entirely the work of his own
hands. Mr.. Stratton is not afraid OF
work, and he knows how to do it. Liberty
bonds look good to him.
