BLUEHILL FAIR
THREE GOOD DAYS AT NOUN
TAIN PARK.
INTERESTING RACING AND BASEBALL
GAMEs-FINE EXHIBITION BY THE
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS.

Three fine days were enjoyed at the fair
OF the Hancock County agricultural 80
ciety at Mountain park, Bluehili, last
week, with good attendance each day, that
OF the second day being a record breaker
for this tsir
Very little has been said during the
summer concerning the work being done
throughout the county by the boys and
girls agricultural clubs OF the county,
but at this fair there was every evidence
that they are no small factor when it
comes TO Uncle Sans plans for food pro-
duction and conservation.
The exhibit as a whole was the largest
OF its kind ever made in the State, and the
s60-jar exhibit OF canned fruits and
vegeta bles, which extended the full length
OF the exhibition hall, called forth many
expressions OF praise. In addition to this
exhibit, there were fiity-nine garden
exhibits, twenty-one from the cooking
club, twenty seven potato exhibits, ten
poultry, and two pig exhibits.
Regarding the exhibit and club work
in general, d. h. Allen OF Sedgwick, said:
II think it is the best thing that has ever
been introduced into the agricultural
work for Hancock county" j. A. Cln
ningham OF Ellsworth said: at is the
most complete and best exhibit | have
ever seem l., II. Sibley OF Bluehll said :
There is no doubt We have the finest ex-
hibit that has ever been seen at the Blue
hill fair. 1t is a praiseworthy and fine part
to be encouraged. May the good work
go on"
The clubs on Mt. Desert Island are max
ing similar exhibit at the Eden fair this
week, and the next appearance of these
young patriots will be on Oct. Is, ~, 900
strong, for their third annual county con-
test.
Another interesting and instructive
feature OF the tair was the blowing con-
test, which attracted more attention than
usual, due in part to the presence OF
demonstrating Fordson tractor The
sulky class was won by Lionel Howard,
with Chester Weber close second,
while MIR. Webber won the landslide
class, with Mr.. Howard a close second.
The equipment was won by MIR, Weboer,
also.

WOMEN WILL HELP
IN THE WORK
Leading Part Will be Taken by This
Organization in Raising the
Third Liberty Loan

Atlanta, Ga, March 28.-The wom-'
en- of the south are to take a COM
manding part in raising the Third
Liberty Loan, the campaign for which
opens on April 9th.
A special woman's committee to
carry out organized effort throughout
the district has been organized with
Mrs. Haynes McFadden, of Atlanta,
as chairman, and district wide or
ganization is now being perfected. A
woman in every one of the six states
in the district has been named as
state chairman; and under the direc-
tion of these, Liberty Loan woman's
committees are being organized in ev-
cry county in the state.
In some of the larger cities, uni
que scheme is being introduced by the
women in charge. A little cottage,
known as Liberty Cottage, is being
built at the busiest part of the city,
where most people are constantly
passing. This cottage is used as q
booth at which bonds may be purchas-
ed, literature obtained, and general
information given committees Of
prominent women and pretty girls are
In charge.
Elsewhere many plans are prepared
for reaching the public and the pub
lies pocketbook. Stress is being laid
upon the educational feature through
the women's department, since it is
here that the greatest hearing can
be had.
Twenty-eight thousand posters by
Howard Gambler Christy. the noted
painter of pretty girls, are being fur
nished the local committees by the
publicity committee in Atlanta.
From this same committee, a large
assortment of publicity material is go-
ing forth. Booklets by the millions
are being supplied to farmers and
townspeople alike. Posters in enor-
nous quantities are going into wind
ows and on billboards. Door knob
hangers viii be placed on residence
doors by Boy Scouts. Newspapers
are receiving advertising layouts to
be paid for by patriotic banks and
business firms of the towns in which
they appear.
Nothing before has been attempted
IN the country on the scale Of the
Third Liberty Loan. Every class Of
people is being enlisted for the cam
paign, an dit is believed that the
amount asked for viii be raised with
little delay.

FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
MEN FOR TWENTY-FIVE
MILES

1t is estimated that in the great
attack delivered in mass formation
more than 100000 of the nearly mil
lion men the Germans threw into the
fray are dead, wounded or in the
hands of their foes.
About twenty-five miles represents
the greatest point of penetration
made at any place by the enemy in his
advance, and on the northern and
southern ends of the big salient he
has left his fanks dangerously open
to counter-attacks. 1t is not improb-
able that British and French re-
serves, and possibly American troops,
known to be behind the battlefront,
soon will be thrown against the weak
ened enemy.
Notwithstanding the strength of
the German drive, nowhere has the
British or French front, along the
latter of which American troops have
given a good account of their ability
as fighters, been even dented. Ground
has ben given, it is true, but so skill
fully and with such precision of move
ment that from nortE to south sur
vey scarcely could have worked q
more even line.

the Allies are holding well. (This re-

termined.
