fIans for Extension of Y. NJ. G. A.
work to the Smaller Towns

| rams Tor Extension of Y. NJ. G. A.
| Work to the Smaller Towns.
| county conference WAS held at the
Unitarian vestry in Ellsworth yesterday
afternoon to discuss plans for the ex-
tension OF Y. M. G. A. work to the towns
OF Hancock county. This is part of a
general plan to organize the entire State
for the extension of Y. M. c. A. activities
and helpfulness to the rural communities
and smaller towns.
The meeting in Ellsworth yesterday
could hardly be called representative of
the county, as comparatively few of the
towns OF the county were represented,
owing to the unfavorable weather and
bad travelling. The towns represented
were Bar Harbor, Ellsworth, Penobscot,
Winter Harbor, Sorrento, Franklin, East
brook and Lamoine. Before the confer
ence, which was called at / O'Clock, the
Woman's Alliance served dinner. Mr.
Searls of Bar Harbor presided at the COLI
ference, and FL. c. Stratton of Ellis worth
was chosen secretary. Sergeant Leo M.
Sellers OF Penobscot, who is visiting in
Ellsworth, was called upon, and spoke in
praise of the Y. M. c. A. work in the
army. County Secretary May of Michi-
gan then explained to some extent the
scheme for county organization. DR..
Hesse OF New York, from the national
headquarters of the Y. Nj. c. A., spoke at
length OF the Y. M. c. A. activities sdur E.
ing the war and in peace.
Superintendent Of Schools McGouldrick
OF Bar Harbor, as county chairman for
organizing the school boys of the county,
spoke OF this feature of the work, and
Rev. Mr.. Fairchild OF Bar Harbor, spoke
for united backing of the churches.
Congressman John A. Peters was called
upon, and spoke in commentator of the
work done by the Y. NJ. c. A. during the
var He asked some questions as to the
nature OF the work to be undertaken here.
The matter has not yet been laid before
the people of Ellsworth in sufficient de-
tail for full statement Of the nature OF
the work to be undertaken in this
county. 1t is understood that the gem
eral plan is to organize the State under
State secretary, with four district
secretaries, each having supervision of a
block OF counties, and with county
secretary in each of the counties OF the
State to work through county committees
and community groups OF boys and men.
Ellsworth is asked to contribute
e, 400 to the general fund to carry on the
work. Plans for the organization of the
towns of the county for the subscription
campaign were discussed at the close of
the conference.

Many Kinds of Courage.

The essential meaning of courage lies
in the word itself. 1t comes into Eng
fish by way of the French courage,
which comes in turn, from the Latin,
cor, meaning "heart." Courage is
heartage, keeping the heart steady
even in the presence of disturbing con-
ditions. Sometimes it appears in the
ability to keep the heart from fiut-
tering when a sudden danger threat
ems; sometimes in the ability to keep
going when life settles down into a
grind and the heart would sink to de-
spair but for persistent courage.

Man and His Weight.

Between forty and fifty a man who
allows his weight to remain high is
running more danger of au early de-
mise than he would run il he contract
ed typhoid fever. What is more, if he
were stricken with that disease, his
chance would be 10 per cent less than
normal. A man who is thinner than
the average, ON the other hand, has
less danger of dying in the decade
than a man who tips the scales at the
normal figure.

Cement was first put on the market
in England. 1t was still being import
ed into this country in 1916. 1t was
at this time that the use of Portland
cement in the United States came into
commercial prominence. When the
product was first placed on the market
in competition with that which was be-
ing imported from England and Ger
many a good price was demanded.
However, production in excess of de-
mand soon resulted and it proved big
factor in the price cutting that fol-
