NORTH ELLSWORTH.

| Gilman Bickford returned to Boston
Friday, after month with his family
here.
Mrs. Minnie Higgins of West Ellsworth,
and Mrs. Eunice' Maloney OF Ellsworth
were called here last week by the illness
and death OF sister and mother, Mrs. Arrie
Higgins.
OBITUARY.
A great sadness came to everyone in
this community Thursday afternoon,
when Arrie D., wife of Webster M. Hig-
gins, passed into rest, after an illness OF
less than week.
For thirteen years Mrs. Higgins had
been an invalid from rheumatism, being
confined TO her chair for several years.
For time she was able to use her hands
at knitting and light sewing; then this,
too, was denied her, and she was forced to
spend the long hours of each day in un-
occupation.
She had been tenderly cared for during
her long illness by her husband and eld-
est daughter, Mrs. Inez Smith, who came
several years ago to be with her mother.
Although Mrs. Higgins must have suf-
fered at times, she was always patient and
accomplishing, and no friend ever heard
her mention her Affections. She was very
fond Of company, and her friends will
long remember her pleasant smile and
hearty greeting.
Always interested in the church and
social affairs OF the community, and al
ways ready to lend a hand in any good
cause, she was greatly missed when her
illness compelled her to retire from an
active life.
She leaves, besides her husband, two
daughters by a former marriage, Mrs.
Inez Smith Of this place, and Mrs. Eunice
Maloney of Ellsworth; her mother, Mrs.
Lois Trueworthy of West Ellsworth, three
sisters; Mrs. Minnie higgins of West
~Ellsw ORTIZ, Mrs Nellie Nevills of Els
worth and Mrs Bernice Moore of this
place, and two brothers, belmont an FL
mer Truewortby of West Ellsworth.
Funeral services were held at the home
Saturday afternoon, Rev. Henry w. Con-
ley officiating.

SquId Meat.

In connection with experiments in
the drying of squid as an article of
food, the United States bureau of fish
cries has made several determinations
of the water. nitrogen, ash and fat, and
ascertained the time of artificial diges-
ton. Squid meat consists of about II
per cent water. OF the solids, about
per cent is fat, tx per cent ash and
81 per cent protein. The last figure is
exceptionally high. Squid meat de
gests more slowly than herring, mack
erel and boiled egg white.

Premier Clemenceau has appointed
Charles Jonnart as governor general
of Algeria which post is one that ranks
with the viceroyalty of India. Mr..
Jonnart, who is the son-in-iaw of the
colossally wealthy Lyons banker, Ed
Guard Aynard, the regent of the Bank
Of France, was high commissioner of
the entente powers to Athens last
year. By using tact and diplomacy he
prevailed upon Constantine Of Greece
to abandon his crown without the al
lies being compelled to use force. In
going to Algeria as governor general
he is returning to the scene of his for
mer triumphs, where he has been and
still is very popular.

HANCOCK COUNTY.
REPORT OF TREASURER AND

FINANCIAL STANDING FOR PAST YEAR
SUMMARY OF EXPENDITURE
JAIL STATEMENT.

The annual report OF the county COM
n,issioners-M. l.. Allen, Howard b.
Moor and W. s. Treworgy-w reports
o, County Treasurer Wescott ard Sheriff
Wescott has been completed.
The report shows net increase in re-
sources OF s359.1s against an increase Of
s1,271 SO in the preceding year. This is
really gratifying showing, as the COM
missioners expected, because of the
greatly increased costs, that the year
would show decrease.
The total expenditures for the year,
not including a temporary loan negotiated
and paid during the year, were si7, l07 90.
The expenditures in 1917 we're s36,272 80.
The cash balance this year is s12, 1879.
The balance for the preceding year was
,lO.sq7. SO. The greatly increased expen-
di,ure is due to loan on the new Mt.
Desert bridge.

It is quite noticeable that there
are more gasoline wood saws being
purchased in Kendrick than there
are gasoline washing machines.
The farmers wife ought to be en-
titled to power washing machine
lust as much as the old man is en-
TITLED to power wood saw. 1t
might pay to try an experiment
next time Monday (washday) comes
around. Just tell the old man to
run the old hand power washing
machine that day and you saw the
wood, or rather let the little gaso-
line engine saw the wood while you
sit on the log and rest a while. 1t
may take two wash days to bring
results, but it is safe to say that be-
fore the third one rolls around your
better half will come to town on
the last Saturday before the next
Monday and get on, Of those wash
ing machines that doesn't require
that muscular movement. Saving
wood isn't in it for right down hare
work, compared to wash day. Well
say it isn't!

We can talk about the poor, down
trodden laboring man, but there
are others to be considered as we'll.
It is said that in an illinois coal
town miners average $217.75 a
month and the fifteen teachers in
the public school were paid sos per
month each. In two or three
months a man can learn to mine
coal, while it takes years Of prepar-
alton to become school teacher.
A manager Of an employment bur-
eau for soldiers, sailors and marines
received two phone requests within
q few minutes Of each other, one
for laborers at $500 9 week and
the other fora college professor Of
mathematics at $1,000 q year, or
$l9.23 a week. Why don't the teach
ers strike?

Rhoda Marsh, poor orphan child
whom my mother adopted, who has
given her the tenderest care to the last
hour Of her life and was a blessing to
her old age. She is left without a
home. Should we give her one?"
1--WE should, and we SHALL" came the
quick reply, as Mrs. Bruce gazed into
the earnest, longing eyes of the girl of
fourteen, and read there truth and in
nocence and a soulful appeal to all
that was maternal and sympathizing
in her nature.

Then came test of the fidelity and
self-sacrifice of the girl just merging
into young womanhood. Both of the
children were taken down with dan
gerous contagious malady. The house
was quarantined. Rhoda braved the
perils of infection. Day and night she
was the constant attendant of Don
and Eta. She found so sure loving
place in the hearts of those she had
benefited, that her eyes beamed with
joy and happiness whenever she was
in their presence.

children was Albion Merritt. He had

awaiting the arrival Of tadcab or

not spoken for some time, for it was q

The wife never lifted her tear-stained

poignant emotion which consumed him.
Without, joyous shouts echoed, the
sound Of merry sleigh bells tinctured
the air with Christmas eve fervor, and
the contrast of this long-anticipated
holiday presentation with what they
had hoped and planned for, wrenched
their souls to the point Of anguish.
Their lives desolated beyond repair,
poignant memories ever present, they
scarce dared to rest their glance upon
the portraits Of two smiling, happy

they had received the terrible news

Shall We Annex

The question Of annexing this part
of Georgetown county to Williams
burg county is creating quite bit
of enthusiasm among our townsmen
and citizens of the surrounding ter
ritory and we think it proper to
comment on the matter at this time.
We have talked this question to a
great majority of the qualified vot-
ers o: this section and they all think
it the proper step to take. We have
not heard a dissenting voice as to
this step. Under these conditions the
only thing we can do in justice to
the people at large of the territory
affected is to petition for an election
to be held on the question, and it
viii then be left to two-third ma
jority vote.
The Andrews News is in favor Of
annexation and will work for it, for
we believe it will be benificial to US
all and develop this section more than
ever. We are hats off to any move
for the upbuilding of our town and
section. May we continue to grow
and prosper in the future as in the
past.
