Sale of Government Foodstuffs


In the postoffices at Ellsworth and else
where are posted lists of army foodstuffs
thatare now being sold by the government
on mail orders. Many inquiries are received
daily by the postmasters as to the delay
in receiving purchases. The superin-
tendent of the quartermaster retail store
in Boston makes the following explana-
ton:
Owing to wide publicity given by the
newspapers hundreds of orders had been
received before the retail store opened
In addition to this handicap, we have ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in the or
ganization and training of perso nnel to
handle the business OF forwarding these vast
supplies of surplus army foodstuffs.
We are now forwarding mail orders at the
rate of about 1850 day. This is in excess
of the number of orders received daily, SO
that 1t is only question of short time
when the mail order department win be
able to forward all purchases without delay
Every order received is being conside ed in
its tnrr, and every order win be filed as far
as possible. If for any reason orders cannot
be hled, or only partially flied, the remain
ing money will be refunded without exepnse
to the purchaser.
II the public will exercise reasona BILE pa
thence every purchaser will be considered
and his request filled as far as possible.

are adopting daylight saving time
for next year, the federal law having
been repealed. A bill to that effect
will be presented at the special ses-
sion of the Maine legislature next
month. We don't like daylight
saving time, the farmers don't like it;
down in this section of the country it
removes US nearly one and one half
hours from the old sun or ''localn
time. But this adoption of it piece

JOIN THE RED CROSS.
An Appeal From Chairman Ogden
of Hancock Chapter.

To the Members of the american Red
Gross, Hancock County Chapter:
DEAR FELLOW MEMBERs:- The period
beginning Nov. and ending Nov. IL,
1919, has been designated by the Presi-
dent Of the United States as the time for
the enrolment OF members of the Ameri-
can Red Cross for the year 1920, and Sum
day, Nov. 2, has been designated by like
authority as Red Cross Sunday.
You all have seen, with your own eyes,
the work of the Red Cross in this county,
and you have heard from time to time of
its work throughout the world, both dur
ing the active period of the war and since
the armistice. 1t is a work of which
America and we, as Americans, may well
be proud. The letters A. r. c. are craven
on the hearts of the sick, the wounded,
the prisoners, and all who are in sorrow
and misery, as consequence OF the great
war. Those letters have drawn the people
of the whole world together under the
symbol of the Red Cross. Especially has
it united the people OF this county in a
common work founded upon the two
highest of human virtues, love for our
brother man and love for our country.
The stress of war is over. The work
which the Red Cross can do and must
do and will do in the immediate future,
has to do more with conditions at home
than with conditions abroad. 1t must
be the aim and desire of every American
citizen, that America shall stand at all
times in the future as prominent as she
has in the past few years as nation Of
free men, devotedly attached to liberty
and intelligently working for its
preservation, not only in their own midst
but in the world at large. There is no
fundamentally in existence which
approaches tine Red Cross in its capacity
to draw all citizens of this country to-
gether for this common purpose, ir-
respective of their individual views on
religion or politics.
The membership in the Red Cross
throughout Hancock county for the last
year was as follow:
