The Great Need Of the Hour.
"ood give US men! Tho time

Strong minds, great hearts, true
faith and willing hands.
Men who possess opinions and a

Tail mon. sun crowned, who live

In public duty and in private

The above was handed in with re-
quest to print, author unknown. We
gladly give place to it. but do not

norance Of authorship. 1t looks nat
ural and feels good, and we like it
tall men, sun crowned. who live
above the fog"
There is the need Of the hour. We
often hate such men, for they see our
follies and point them out. They
lave the courage to say those things
from which most of us shrink. They
accept the cool front of men they
love, because thereby mankind is
benefited. They realize the antagon-
irm Of men they would claim as
friends, and know that virtue is its
own reward. But they go on I'm pub
lilo duty and private thinking" for
they possess opinions and WILL" and
they know that God had a niche to

and that courage of convictions.

us pray earnestly. not for personal
liberty" and facilities for indulgence
OF selfish ends but for men of
Strong minds. great hearts. true

An interesting deer case was tried
in the Ellsworth municipal court on
April 5. 1t was an action Of trover,
brought by p. L. and l.. d. Wilbur of
Eastbrook against Everett Tracy of
North Franklin, to recover the value
of half a deer, placed at SIS. Mr..
Tracy. with a party, was hunting in
November last, when he started a
deer. He fired three times at the
deer, and believes he wounded him.
He continued on the track of the
deer, finally heard shots ahead of
him, and came up with the Wilbur
brothers. who were not of his party,
but who had shot the deer and We're
dressing it out when Mr.. Tracy ar
rived. He said he thought he Ia d
wounded the deer. The law of the
chase in such case is a division of
the spoils, but no division was made
at that time, the deer was hauled out
to the road. and the party separated,
the Wilburs going after wagon,
and Mr.. Tracy going to a neighboring
house for a luncheon. Later Mr..
Tracy returned and took half the
deer. He afterwards met the Will
burs on the road and told them what
he had done, and says everything at
that time seemed satisfactory. Later
the suit was brought. Mr.. Tracy
could not satisfy the court that he
had wounded the deer. honestly ad-
hitting that he could not swear that
he wounded him. and judgment was
given for the plaintiffs. d. f. Hurley
appeared for plaintiffs and E. J..
Walsh for Observation-Disclosures

Mrs. Hattie Blake Of South

Friday evening about 10 o'clock.
when on locking out of the window
at her home she noticed the sky
looked very dark in the northwest
but looking out of another window
saw it was clear. starlit sky. 1t
struck ner as very odd and she re-
turned TO the other window again,
looking more intently she saw in the
blacklist part Of the sky a sort Of
smoky cloud which seemed to roll
away AMI leave clear and plain to
her vision the American flag. Mrs.
Blake says she doesn't know what
drew her almost forcibly to the win
dow, and being alone, the other men,
bers Of her family having retired.
there was no one else to witness what
she had seen, the flag disappearing
with a waving motion as quickly as
it had come. Mrs. Blake is DESTROYS
to know if anyone else CHANGED to
see this striking sight, which seemed
to appear to her as a promise of sue
cess in Cur great war for humanity.

Houses of Congress this
Week to Rush Passage

Washington. Feb. 4.-Thc adminis-
tration railroad bill, limiting the
period Of government control of the
railroads and providing for compen-
sation to the stockholders will be re-
ported to both houses of congress this
week: At the urgent request Of Di-
rector General McAdoo, administra-
ton leaders will make every effort to
expedite passage Of the measure.
The senate interstate commerce
committee voted Saturday to report
the measure favorably Monday with
amendments limiting government
control to eighteen months after the
close of the war and giving the presi-
dent power to initiate rates subject to
appeal to the interstate commerce
commission. The committees action
minis and La Toilette. Republicans,
announcing that they would submit

Viding for termination of government
control two year after peace is de-
clared. Chairman Sims later am

complete consideration of the amend
ment Monday or Tuesday and would
ask unanimous consent for it's inme-
date passage.
-Four amendments to limit the time
of the government control were Of
fered in the house committee. One by
Representative Esch fixed the time at
one year after the a another by
Representative Barclay at three years,
a third by Representative Parker at
eighteen months, and the fourth by
Representative Montague at two
years.
Oppose Two Years.
Chairman Sims vigorously opposed
the two years limitation as adopted,
declaring that it would affect the
valuation of railway securities. Rep-
resentative Montague insisted that at
least w years would be required for
the railroad interests to adjust them
selves after tho war. Those voting for
the two-year amendment were Mon

bill fixing the rate of compensation
on the basis of the annual railway
operating income for the three years
ending on June so. 1917, n the
house committee also is expected tc

suggested by the president.

A city council antagonistic to the edi-

blowing whistles at certain hours.
The editor made out his check to
cover a large number of fine and
the extra continued to be sounded
