Only Eight More Days!

Across this stretch of sea hands
reach out and clasp, hearts touch
and space Is eliminated
Such is the nearness we feel TO
those who are fighting for us and
with US. It stiles our hearts some
times
But tears can't win a war. Bonds
can. Buy them and stretch a real
hand across the seas!
There are only eight more days 10
prove how muoh you care.

YANKs HATE TO TOTE BREAD
Take Chances Of Going Hungry Ia
France Rather Than Garry Lost
With Them.

Somewhere in France.-American
soldiers and sailors sometimes find II
difficult when on leave to get all the
bread they want In French cities
Bread Is issued by card, one ticket be-
ing good for 100 grammes. There are
three tickets for each day. The Amer.
lean government feeds its own men,
and unless a soldier Is detached, or on
some special duty where he cannot
reach his own mess, no provision Is
made for his eating outside his own
quarters, and he does not get French
bread tickets.
When soldiers are on leave from
camp or sailors get shore leave they
are reminded to take along loaf Of
Yankee bread so they will have some
when they go into a French restaurant.
But few do this They don't want to
be encountered all day long with loaf
Of bread under their arm. They are
willing to take chance on getting in
to a restaurant where they can get
bread, or, if the worst comes, go with
out.

vice to others.

Rockland is Doing
With 154 graduates to its credit, thirty
seven students in attendance and twent,
applications pending, tine government
free navigation school in Rockland con.
tinues to be an important adjunct to til.
recruiting service of the U. s. shipping
board.
The decreasing interest which the end
ing of the war was expected to bring
about has not manifested itself in this
district. Men who have devoted even a
brief portion of their careers to seafaring
realize that the merchant marine has
opened the door to some desirable po-
sitions.
Recent Hancock county graduates OF
the school have received the following
ratings:
Henry e. Latty, of fremont, chief mate
OF ocean steamships.
Harry Judkins of Stonington, second
mate of ocean steamships.
Martin Billings of Deer Isle, George
Black of West Brooksville, Ernest A.
Chatto OF South Brooksville and John j.
Jones OF West Brooksville, third mate of
ocean steamships.
Graduates who will go to Portland this
week to be examined by the federal
steamboat inspectors are: Leon Weed,
Deer Isle; Everett 8. Squirting, Cranberry
Isles, and Elton Small, Deer Isle.
New students in the school include
Capt. George Kane, Surry; Capt. William
F. Grover, Winter Hsrbor; Frank W.
Howard, Deer Isle; Brainerd L. Farnham,
West Brooksville; and Harry c. Greenlaw,
Deer Isle
Graduates Of this school are now
scattered all over the globe, and have
played an important part in getting
soldiers and supplies overseas. Several
are commanding large steamships.
