Elsie Ferguson, Saturday.

There are few stars of the silent drama
whose popularity exceeds that enjoyed
by Elsie Ferguson, the beautiful Aircraft
actress. Every photoplay in which she
appears is bound to attract attention and
it affords us pleasure therefore, to inform
you that she will be seen in her newest
picture, 'Heart of the Wilds," picturi-
zation of Edgar Selwyn's famous play,
"Pierre of the Palms," at our theatre
next Saturday. This is an admirable
story of the American Canadian border
and it presents Miss Ferguson for the
first time in her screen career in So
called Western picture, and it affords her
a role vastly different from those which
she essayed in "Barbary Sheep" 'Rose
of the World" "The Lie" "a Dolls
House." etc. It is a remarkable photo
play in which Miss Ferguson does several
riding feats that will amaze her admirers.
Miss Ferguson is an actress of genius and
her characterization in this superb pic
ture is most notable. We are convinced
that you will enjoy this photoplay and
that you will agree with us that it is one
of the finest ever displayed at our thea
tre A Pathe Comedy and Pathe Week
ly will complete a program, suitable for
young and old.

TO REAL ESTATE OWNERS
And Renters of Real Estate in Belfast:

Complaints have been made regarding
the condition of sidew alks after the re-
cent snow.
1t is absolutely essential to the good ap-
pearance of the city and the convenience
of the public local and those who visit
the city that the sidewalks should be kept
passably clear at all times 1t is the sug-
gestion and request of the city govern
ment and also of the Board of Trade that
all owners of real estate kindly see that
the sidewalks adjacent to their property
are cleared within reasonable time after
each storm or blow.
1t is certainly blemish on our city to
have people coming in from outside and
being unable to get about. 1t is expected
that every property owner or renter will
kindly cooperate with his neighbors in
arranging for a prompt clearance of all
sidewalks adjacent to his property.
This applies not only to the people liv-
ing on the side directly adjacent to the
sidewalk but as well to the people living
on the opposite side of the street; for it
would be manifestly unjust for the people
happening to live on the side nearest the
walk to bear the whole burden.
If real estate owner negects or omits
to see that proper care Is given to the
sidewalk bordering on his property the
City Government will see that the side
walk is cleared and levy the expense
against such property.
At the request of City Council.

nual gifts from friends there and has
forwarded check of S67.07 Other gifts
of money have come this month from
Miss Olivia j. Hall of Flatbush, l.. l.,

Red Cross Notes.

All school superintendents in the coun-
ty are asked to promote the organization
of Junior auxiliaries in the schools in
their respective unions. 1t is hoped
large number will be enrolled in the near
future. The dues are equivalent to Is
cent for each child, though part or all of
the money may be raised by entertain
ment or any means the teacher may see
fit.
The committee on the linen drive find
that they are falling short on mems hand
kerchiefs. Any men who can do so will
confer favor by contributing one or
more from their surplus stock, or new cot
ton ones which will be quite acceptable
purchased at small sum. Please leave
these contributions at the Red Cross
rooms at Memorial Hall.
There seems to be some misunderstand-
ing in regard to the TO- -cents-a- week
pledges which were begun last spring.
Word comes from headquarters that the
necessity for continuing these pledges for
the year specified, is by no means lessen
ed. The money is needed just as much
as it ever was, and we hope that all will
realize their continued obligation.
In accordance with vote taken at the
Board meeting in December, the Execu-
tive Board will meet on the first Tuesday
of each month at p. m. at the City Ma
tional Bank. All members of the Board
are asked to bear the date in mind, and to
be present whenever possible.
Eighteen solicitors under the direction
of Mr.. Cecil Clay. Chairman, started on
the Red Cross Roll Call on Monday and
will continue throughout the week. The
aim is for 100 per cent membership in
Waldo county where, at present, of the
@, 900 inhabitants, only 5000 are enrolled.
1t is impossible to over-estimate the i'm
portance of this organization or our duty
to support it. Help to cancel our indebt-
edness to it by paying the 81 membership
fee this week, and by giving it your loyal
support in every possible way.
Everyone is requested to save tin foil
and bring it to the library or put it in the
boxes on Main street placed there for that
purpose. Peach stones and nut shells are
no longer needed.
The rooms will hereafter te open for
work Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays
and Fridays, as the ladies' of the Relief
Corps will have the use of them Tues
days. Please note the change, and ar
range your other duties accordingly, as
none of the workers can well be spared.
In fact, new workers are very earnestly
desired.

THE BI.PLANE,S VISIT.

The flying machine with w. S. s. ad-
vertising arrived from Rockland on it's
way to Bangor Tuesday forenoon. The
whistles gave the signal of its approach,
when the schools and all who could col
lected in Postoffice square. The imagin-
ative could realize what it might mean if
the monster came on destruction bent in
: stead of its mission of mercy. 1t was
commanded by Lieut.. Brennan with the
assistance of pilot and machinist. 1t
was bi-plane with a boat-shaped body
! and looked like a large bird as it made a
double circle over the Postoffice. The
whir of its immense wings could be
heard great distance and startled even
the pigeons in the public streets. Among
the advertising dropped was a letter to
Morris L. Slugg, county chairman:
My dear Mr.. Slugg: Through the
courtesy of our loyal aviators Lieut..
Brennan and Ensign Adams l am permit
ted to drop upon you and the people of
Belfast by this unique method, an appeal
for further efforts-not to win the war,
but to make that winning personal to us
all, and to redeem the good name of all
our State.
We must not conceal from ourselves
or our friends that so far in this, the last
war financing for 1918, our State lags be-
hind; and that more than half of all the
States have fbr a moment won that pen
nant of leadership which we feel belongs
to Maine.
Sentiment alone might make us strong
er in our work to carry this State ''over
the top" of the W. 5. S. quota, but added
to this is the pressing and urgent need of
our Government for money.
To remit, at this time, any practicable
means of doing his full duty, would leave
the citizen in most unenviable position,
not only for the moment, but for all time
to come.
Our patriotism has not waned The
spirit of Maine is equal to any crisis.
But the public sense of danger has relax
ed while the danger itself persists The
danger of not fulfilling to the utmost the
public duty that we owe to our Govern
ment is more pressing than was ever the
danger of inadequate military support;
and failure in that duty would place upon
our records bar which nothing that we
did in the war itself could condone.
Once let this situation become clearly
evident to the people of Belfast, and the
patriotic men and women of your city
as indeed of the entire State-will assert
themselves to make our record nor only
clear, but second to none
Very truly yours,
HERBERT j. BROWN,
State Director of War Savings
