An Appreciative Letter

Hon. F. f. Boothby has WI itten as fol-
| lows to friend in Belfast:
81 cannot let the episode of the meeting
at Belfast of the State Board of Trade
pass without some observations. l was
| much pleased that SO many Belfast men
greeted me by name 1t made me feel at
home at once. My first visit to Belfast
| was nearly, if not quite fifty years ago, l
| gong there as the guest of Baseball
Club from Bangor of which my old friend
c. Fred Bragg was the business manager.
do not recall the name of the Club but
| remember the name of the Belfast Club
was long one and think Identical with
the name of some river. The catcher for
the Belfast Club was Dick Moody whom
| had known as being in College at Water
ville The Belfast Club were easy win
| ners. After the game banquet was
rendered the Bangor boys either at the
Windsor or the New England, at the
close OF which we embarked on a tug and
were taken up river to Bangor-happy if
defeated. And by the way, the dinner l
had at the Windsor tn day of the State
Board was all any one could desire. After
the Railroad | used to come to Belfast
quite frequently and early formed a
friendship with Simpson of the journal
and Pilsbury after him, | never forget
ting to spell his name with one l., and
| of course our George and now l know
Brown. My most particular friend from
Belfast was Chas. B. Hazeltine though
some years older, and then knew Swan
and Sibley. Last time | ever saw Mr.
Swan was at the Bangor House. he hav-
| ing come up with party of men Just for
the automobile ride. Another Belfast
man was very fond of was Ralph Emery
and he always retained fond recolIections
of Belfast up to the day of his death.
Now adays among others | should cer-
tainly refer to Charles Field, and | was
on the Governors Staff with H. E. Nc
Donald.
Whenever go to Bangor always talk
Belfast with Rev. A A, Smith and Hara-
den Pearl. l think l was down at the
opening of the crosby Inn or soon after.
My father, L. I. Boothby, owned a cottage
| visited Northport for years and with
Parkhurst, father of the present candi-
date for Governor, shared honors as be-
ing ca led the sort of king of the place,
and SO | often visited him More recently
l have visited friends at Stockton and
they have met me at Belfast with an
auto, SO | have kept in touch with the
place. AT the meeting of the State Board
was particularly impressed with the ad-
dress of welcome from the Mayor and
have no hesitation in saying il was as
line for the purpose designed as | ever
heard. His allusion to the biggest L 1.-THE
City in Maine" certainly brought down
the house and now that Belfast has made
such good start they must never let up
as 1t never would do to take a back seat
OIL such an assertion and that they may
continue in well doing is my earnest wish

The officials are said to be looking for a
material witness in the now famous
Brown murder mystery of Rockland. A
woman, who is said to have been ON the
night of the murder of Mrs. Carolyn
W cit Brown at Rockland with Mrs Will
mot Butler, is wanted to suEstantiate
her story. She is Mrs. Stella Ha haway
Mrs. Buffers story is that she and Mrs.
Hathaway were standing nearly opposite
Hotel Rockland when Mrs. Brown came
out on the night of Dec. Both and spoke
to her. They later found themselves
Just behind Mrs. Brown on LIMERICK
street, near the courthouse, where man
in an automobile spoke to Mrs. Brown
and she entered the car, he offering to
take her home. Mrs. Butler gives des-
cription of the car~and fairly good des-
cription of the man. The authorities are
reticent as TO what reliability they place
in her long delayed story.

Red Cross membership is one
thing that has not been hit by the

take part in the campaign. The
Massachusetts Branch of the Ameri-
can Legion has pledged it's support
to the Roll Call in the following res
olution:
'The Red Cross by it's activities
during the war in behalf of service
men has endeared itself to the
American public and is now helping
to solve many problems in which
the American Legion has vital in

1--WE, therefore, resolve that the
Massachusetts, Branch of the Ameri-
can Legion, in convention assembled,
express its deep interest in, and
pledges support to, the Third Red
Cross Roll Call"
Everyone who renews membership
or joins during the Roll Call will be
given a 1920 button and 1920 win
dow service flags will also be given
out. A service flag should glow from
a window OF every home in the land
when the campaign closes.
Red Cross Sunday.
The campaign will open on Sun
day, November 2, although active
solicitation will not start until next
day.
The spirit of service, which is
the soul Of the Red Cross, is closely
akin to the spirit of love, which is
the soul of religion, and it is there
fore fitting that the Red Cross
should open it's appeal for continued
support for it's work of mercy with
services in the churches. The clergy
of all faiths throughout New Eng
land have, therefore, been requested
to observe Sunday, November 2, as
Red Cross Sunday, and to devote at
least one of the services on that day
to the Red Cross. Each Red Cross
Chapter in New England has been
provided with leaflets for the use
Of the clergy. These leaflets present
suggestions for Red Cross services
and brief statements of the Red
Cross work during the war, and the
peace tasks to be performed
Posters, window displays, street
car signs, stereopticons and motion
pictures will be used to announce
the Roll Call and in some communi-
ties an illuminated red cross will be
displayed, Three posters will be
shown. One is a striking design by
Howard Chandler Christy entitled
''The Spirit of America" A beautiful
young woman in flowing robes of
white is shown standing against the
folds of Old Glory, which form the
background. In the lower left cor
ner is a large red cross emblem and

AMERICA EATS MORE BREAD IN
 LIEU OF MEATS
Flour Consumption Shows
 15 Per Cent. Increase in 70 Days.

An increase in Americas flour consumption of almost fifteen per cent, or three million barrels in sew enty days, indicating that the house
 wives of the country have effected a direct saving in household expeE-
 ditures by eating more bread and less of the higher priced foods, is shown in the weekly bulletin on wheat and
 wheat flour movement issued by the United States Grain Corporation. This view is also confirmed by the sharp fall in prices of replaced foods
 For instance, lard, when sold in Chi
 cago, wholesale, at B cents not 60
 days ago, has fallen to 2 cents, and
 edible oils now show sharp declines
 in sympathy. Condensed and evapor-
 ated milks have not shown the usual fall tendency to advance This flour replacement not only means a direct
 saving in household expenditures, but further reflection into the price
 of higher-priced foods.
