Congress calls them from all walks

frock coat debating with much dig

would not suppose that he was for

Leader Mondell daintily picking his

not guess that only a few years ago
he was accounted one of the best
shots-quick on the trigger-in two
states--Iowa and Wyoming. That art
was acquired in his early days when
he hunted a pastime that he might
have food and when every wasted
shot represented money he couldn't
afford to lose. Later he cleaned up a

SUIT TO BE BROUGHT.
oity authorizes Attorney to Take
Legai Steps for Removal of
Oil Tanks.


Inc city government, at its meeting
Monday evening. authorized w. n
whiting, attorney, to bring action at law IL
necessary to compel the removal of the oil
tanks on High street.
Mr.. Whiting, for the benefit of AMEpr-
CAN readers, briefly reviews the history
OF the case and the action thereon 40
follows: no
some years ago the Standard Oil Co
applied tor license, under our ordinance
foroidding the storage of expIosives
within limited distance OF any dwelling
mouse, to store its gasoline and
kerosene in tanks in the present location
ON High street. License was refused
IL was later taken up on new petition
and license granted.
some three of four years ago, on COM
plant OF the late Leonard NJ. Moore and
many others, license was revoked and
the Standard Oil Co. was notified nv the
city clerk to remove the tanks. No action
was ever taken.
inns summer c. L. Morang, properly
assuming that il there we're no objection
TO the storage OF oils in that location nv
the Standard Oil Co., there would be none
to bis adding additional tanks, leased a
piece OF lahd and started to erect tank s..
That caused the old feeling to revive, and
Mr.. Morang, as soon as he was notified of
the feeling existing, stopped all opera
ton on the lot for the construction of the
tank, and has patiently awaited action to
see whether the matter was going to die
down, as it had heretofore, or if it were to
be prosecuted to a conclusion.
AT meeting of the city government
early this fall | was appointed attorney
for the city to notify the Standard Oil Co.
to remove its tanks, but was not to be-
gin any legal proceedings without con-
ferring further with the city government.
Notices were sent to the agent here, the
state agent, and to the Standard Oil Co.
in New York. By ways known only to
large corporations, matters have been de.
layed and according to my best judgment,
Will be delayed as long as the Standard
Oil Co. desires to maintain it's tanks
there, if it is possible thing for it to
do so.
"Sult will be begun within short
time, returna bic at the April term of
court. | hope, however, that arrange
ments may be made with the Standard
Oil Co., so that the entry of these actions
will not be necessary. On the other
h., L.
are not removed in sufficient time, so that
trial may be had at the April term next
OF the supreme judicial court"

NTI-IUBERCULosIs DRIVE.
Buy Christmas Seals and Health
Bonds Literally. .

Bonds Literally.
The drive for the benefit of the anti
tuberculosis work in Maine is now on in
full force throughout Hancock county. 1t
has double purpose - to let the whole
people know that tuberculosis is pre-
ventable and durable, and to get money
Tor the proper care and treatment of those
affected with this dread disease.
The lack of knowledge has undou btedly
been one OF the most serious features of
the situation in the past, but this is being
gradually overcome, even among children
IN the public schools, and their help is
oeing sought in the present campaign.
The lack of sufficient funds has also
played large part in the failure to
grapple successfully with the "white
plague" We nave not the needed number
OF sanatoria. With more than 1000 cases
OF tuberculosis in the State, our sanator,a
are capable of taking care OF but 900
patients. Further, we have no hospitals
Tor lncurables. They are refused ad-
mission, and properly, into the sanatoria;
ana therefore, must finish their existence
at home, continuing source OF infection
for their family and friends.
1t is hoped that the generosity of the
people will help to remedy these manifest
faults. Christmas seals and "health
bonds" are on sale in every community:
the seals selling for one cent, and the
bonds ranging from IS to 500 certificates.
Ihese bonds may be secured from Mr..
Mathews the chairman for this county.
Eleven cents per capita is the allotment
Tor the county. Everyone should have a
part in stamping out permanently this
great foe of civilized peoples.
