Ellsworth Pays Tribute to Boys Re-
turned from Service.


turned from Service.
Ellsworth honored the boys of tn,
county who had returned from service il
a celebration last Friday. Plans WERE
made hurriedly, in the hope that it would
be possible to have visit from the air
plane due in Bangor Thursday, but the
aviator, who was forced by fog and rain to
land in Portland, after nonstop flight
OF 450 miles from Mineola, n. Y, was I'M
able to reach Bangor or Ellsworth. There
was some hope to the last minute that he
might reach here Friday afternoon late,
but later word was received that in an
attempt to get away from Portland, the
plane was pitchpooled by soft ground,
and slightly damaged.
But for the unavoidable delays of the
airplane, caused by the weather, and
the threatening weather OF Friday
morning, Ellsworth would have been
thronged Friday with soldiers and
their friends. But the weather cleared
before noon, and Ellsworth went ahead
with its celebration. Comparatively few
from out-of-towh were present, but the
parade at O'Clock made good showing.
The procession formed on High street at
O'Clock, and was led by NJ. Y. McGown,
chairman of the parade committee, and
w. j. Clark, jr., who acted as master OF
ceremonies for the day. In line were the
Ellsworth band, Walter Smith costumed
as Uncle Sam, automobiles with G. A. R.
veterans, naval reserves, led by Com
mandant Marshal OF the East Lamoine
station and Ralph Cunningham, the bows
of the army returned from service, led by
Lieut.. Robert P. King, the Ellsworth
fife and drum corps and Ellsworth fire
department. The boys of the service re-
ceived an ovation along the line.
After the parade disbanded, the band
gave concert in the square, and special
picture show, free to soldiers and sailors,
was given at the Bijou. Cheers were given
for the boys of the service, for the band.
and for Mayor Hagerthy, the prime
mover in the celebration. A telegram an
nouncing the accident to the airplane in
Portland was also read.
In the evening at Hancock hall the
junior class Of the Ellsworth high school
presented its play, "Rube and His Ma"
at which soldiers and sailors were guests
of the city, and this was followed by
free dance, with excellent music by Hig-
gins orchestra of eight pieces. Alto
gether, the celebration SO hastily planned
was success.
Committees having incurred bills. or
any having bills against the celebration,
are requested to present them at once to

SERVICE IN THE HOME
What is he Actual Cost Of Each
Servant?

How many American housewives
understand the actual cost of maid7
In engaging a household helper the
average woman figures only on what
the maid asks as wages. The food
she eats, the light she uses, the dish
es she breaks and the material she
wastes are not considered. 1t would
be diffiuclt to figure such items cor
rectly. but the amount is consider
able. because a maid does not have
the interest of ownership to make
things go as far as possible. The
extra man about the place is also
worthy of consideration as an item of
expense.
A housewife who is trying to econ
omize by doing her own work should.
at present prices, reckon at least IS
per week for the items mentioned.
Should she save So in wages, it will
be equivalent to SO weekly
Many woman is thus saving for a
future need, education for the chill
dren, to own home, or some other
worthy object. OF course she invests
In War Savings Stamps, but does sh.
realize that from her savings as he
own home worker she could buy tw,
stamps where now she buys one?
She may wish to, teach her litt1,
daughter thrift, as well as househol,
duties. In that case, why not pa,
her small wage for washing dishes
busting, etc. She could also teacl
the child to invest a portion Of tn
sum in Thrift Stamps. and thus brin,
down the proverbial two birds, teach
ing usefulness and thrift

The Mockinu Bird.

The mocking bird is native OF
America and the West Indies, and is
remarkable for its vocal powers and
for its faculty for initiating other birds
as well as different sounds which it
hears. Its voice is full and musical.
and capable of meditation. from the
clear tone of the woodthrush to the
scream of the eagle.

Vegetable Diet.

A well-balanced diet does not neces.
state much meat. The leaf vegetables,
like cabbage. spinach, celery, onions,
etc., are now in their prime. and should
be used as the basis of a number of
appetizing dishes. Supplemented as
they can be by liberal allowance OF
milk, cereals and limited number of
eggs, the proper food values are fully
maintained.

WILSON HIT BY INCOME TAX
The President Must Pay 81, 4s0 Of
Annual Salary Back to Govern
ment Under New Law

WashingtOn.-The personal expert

which has subtracted from his salary
of $4,000 the more thoughtfuIly than
ever to the high cost Of living. if it
does not dash the enthusiasm of sew
eral favorite sons who have cherished
presidential aspirations.
The cost Of living has increased at
the White House as well as every
where else, and with the prospect Of
having to entertain official visitors
from England, France, Belgium and
possibly Italy, to say nothing Of ether
countries, President Wilson, who hith-
erto has spent very little in entertain
ing, will find his second encounter
with the income tax particularly in
convenient unless Congress comes to
the rescue with a special appropriation
for entertainment.

counsel of the league
Congress has already defined 256
terms, including words in the consti-
tuition, and there is no reason why this
term should be an exception Every
state prohibition law and every local
prohibition law in the states has de-
fined this term and unless the federal
court does define the term it means
nothing and the code might as well be

HUNS SEEKING MONEY HERE
Wall Street Financiers Expect an Of
fering OF German Bonds in
the Near Future.

New York.-Germany already has
come into the New York money mar
ket in quest of funds to finance pur-
chases of American goods. Concrete
inquiries for governmental and indus
trial loans have reached the leading
banks and banking houses of Wall
Street, it was authoritatiVely ascer-
tanned recently.
Bankers differed as to whether
American investors would be willing
in the near future to purchase German
bonds, although the prevailing view in
financial circles is that Germany must
have credit in order to fulfil her obli-
cations under the treaty Of peace.
F'inanciers point out that the Germans
must have funds to pay for raw ma
terial to set their industries in motion
so that they can earn money to hqui-
date the debts to foreign countries.

GARRANzA SEXES OIL LANDS
Mexican Government confiseates For
eign Owned Properties Despite Pro
tests from France and England.

Washington.-Conf by the
Mexican government of the property
Of the Scottish-Mexican Oil Company,
British company with several Amer
lean stOckholders-th first actual con-
fscatiOn under the Carranza DEGREES
which have been the subject of protests
from Great Britain, Holland, France
and the United States-was reported to
the State Department
The property of the Scottish Mexican
Company, it was said, now was being
operated by the Mexicans, who have
brought in a 80, 0O0-barreI oil well on
the land. The British government, it
was learned, has taken up the matter
OF seizure with the Mexican govern
ment, through diplomatic channels, and
has advised the company, pending &C
ton, to continue TO fulfill its obliga-
tons under Mexican laws.
The land on which the Scottish
Mexican Company operated, accord
ing to company officials, was leased
in 1910, conforming in every way with
the law of Mexico.
Acting under the new constitution of
mOA1CO anu executive QOCTS6S Issued
by CarranZa as first chief and later as
president, it was said, the attorney for
the owner Of the fee, a widow, de-
nounced the property because of the
foreign ownership and organized new
company of Mexicans which took over
the property, supported by the law and
the courts. The widow, it is said, still
is receiving and accepting the pay
ments on the lease from the Scottish
Mexican Company.
The State apartment, although in
terested in this confiscation because of
the number of American stockholders
in the company, has not taken any
steps in the matter but is watching
closely the steps being taken by the
British government
The united protests of Great Britain,
France and the United States seems to
have had no effect on Carranza's deter
minatton to seize foreign owned prop
critics in Mexico. The DEGREES by which
confiscation of the foreign owned prop
critics was made possible were adopted
by the Mexican Congress more than a
year ago. Attempts were made by rep
resentatives of this country and other
governments to block their passage,
but without avail.
