RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

AT the regular meeting of Ouantaba-
cook Lodge, F. and A. M. held in Sears
mont, Feb. 1, 1919, the following resolu-
ton were adopted:
Whereas, The messenger of death has
taken our worthy brother, William C.
jackson, called into the country's service,
he was a victim of pneumonia at Camp
Mcclellan; therefore, be it,
Resolved, That we greatly regret our
brothers death and deeply sympathize
with his relatives. May they find conso-
lation in the thought that he died in a
great cause. To the mind of the poet:
''There is no death What seems so is
transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call DEATH"
Resolved, That our charter be draped
in mourning, page of our records in
scribed to his memory, that these resolu-
tions be sent to the bereaved family, and
copies to The Republican journal and
Bangor Weekly Commercial for publica-
tion.

Red Cross Notes.

1t is gratifying indication of interest
in the immediate future of our organiza-
ton, that despite the inconvenience of
the morning hour, so many were pres
ent last Wednesday to listen to the in
spring words of Miss Ross, who visited
our Chapter in the interests of the Public
Health Service; and of Miss Newell, who
explained with great sympathy and un-
derstanding the requirements of the knit
ting and sewing departments. Miss New
ell believes that this work must continue
almost indefinitely, She emphasized the
kindness that so many of our wounded
and home-slck men have received from
the people of France, by reason of which
our utmost efforts to bring measure of
comfort to them is but a return for favors
received, debt that we really owe.
Last Thursday and Friday were days of
wonderful accomplishment in the sewing
room, where the large attendance showed
that the incessant calls for help are meet
ing with generous response. The work
of the Branches, too has been wonder
fully efficient. But the call is still des-
perately urgent if the additional order,
just received, is to be filled before March
1st 1t consists of 80 house gowns, 200
pnafores, and 70 boys suits. The origi
nal order iS still unfinished anJ tb;, II
ditional requirement cannot possibly be
completed unless every effort is made.
Please help. The pinafores are very
simple and easily made, and the commit
tee sincerely hope that some who cannot
come to the room will help by taking
them home to do.
The knitters will be glad to know that
there will be an abundance of work for
them as soon as the new directions are
received for knitted refugee garments.
Will all who are making scrap-books
please send those they have completed to
Miss Field at their earliest convenience.
Those still unfinished may be kept over
for the next shipment.
On account of the Board of Trade sup
per, the rooms will not be open for sewing
Thursday afternoon this week. There
seems to be a misunderstanding in regard
to Saturday afternoons, and notice is
given that the rooms are always open
for sewing Saturday afternoons.

ISABEL MADELINE SMALLEY

Miss Isabel NJ Smalley of this CITY died
Sunday, Feb. End, at D. M, at the home
OF her sister, Mrs. Eugene S. Philbrook of
Augusta. She had been in failing health
since last summer and had grown grad
ually worse since the death of her father
IN October Her nervousness took the
form of melancholy and fearing she would
never be well again, she took her own life
by shooting at about p. m. Sunday and
fingered until six. She was conscious
and spoke to those standing around her.
She had practically given her young life
for her father and mothers comfort and
the greatest incentive to get we'll was to
live at home with her only brother. She
was the youngest of the family and their
idol. Bright, happy, attractive, yet wom-
anly beyond her years, she was beloved
by all who knew her, and the deepest
sympathy is extended the bereaved. The
day of her death she had attended church
and took part in the services and seemed
stronger than for some time, gladly ac-
cepting an invitation from some girl
friends to spend Thursday evening with
them. When taken with the desire to
end her mental suffering she was writing
letter to her brother and seemed unable
to concentrate her thoughts as she wish
ed. She was born in Belfast, July 4, 1898,
the daughter of the late Alexander D.
and Eliza w. (Stearns) Smalley. She
graduated from the Belfast High school
in the class of 1911 and had since lived
at home. She was a member of the
North Church Guild, of Aurora Rebekah
Lodge, l. o. o. F. and of Primrose Chap
ter, Order of the Eastern Star In the
latter she was at one time Ada in the
Star. In all these orders she was an en-
thusiastic and favorite member. She is
survived by one brother, Albert B. Small :
ley, by four sisters, Mary E., wife of B.
L. Davis; Eva A., wife of Robert P. Cur
tbs; E. Lillian, wife of Fred o. J. Horne,
all of Belfast, and Bessie B., wife of Rev.
Eugene S. Philbrook of Augusta, former
ly pastor of the Belfast Baptist church.
The remains arrived Tuesday night and
the funeral was held at her late home
Wednesday at 10 80 a. m, Rev. Charles
w. Martin of the Methodist church Of
ticiating. There was large attendance
and many beautiful floral emblems. The
bearers were Wilbur O, Colby, Allan M.
Howes, Lynwood B. Thompson and Dana
B. Southworth

"Thirty-Six States Rally Round
the Water Wagon!"

This and similar statements in big
black letters occupied the front page of
papers all over the country, after the
ratification landslide. Levy Mayer, legal
representative of practically all the dis
tilers of the nation, said: "Prairie is on
fire, that's all! 1t is sweeping just like
prairie fire, and there's no stopping it,"
In several cases ratification was unani-
Evanston the National w. C. T. U. fam
ily at headquarters gathered at noon for
an hour of thanksgiving. 1t was voted
to send a message of appreciation to Mrs.
Gertrude Stevens Leavitt, daughter of
Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, for her mothers
wonderful contribution to the cause, and
to Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis, SO long our
legal representative at Washington. Mes
sages were also sent to Senator Henry
W. Blair and Captain Richmond Pearson
Hobson, both champions of the cause in
Congress. Miss Gordon had a wreath of
laurel placed on the statue of Frances E.
Willard in Statuary Hall at the Capitol
and also on her last resting place at Rose
Hill, Evanston
The District of Columbia W. C. T. U.
also placed laurel wreath on the statue
at the Capitol. In Stroudwater, the home
of Mrs. Stevens, the local union held a
brief service at her grave, placing there
fine wreath, while Mrs. A. A. Quimby,
State W. C. 7. U. President, sent laurel
wreath.
The victory year program includes large
plans for patriotic service-indeed, all its
work is patriotic-but now there are Re-
construction Homes, the Belgian children
to sew for, French orphans to adopt, Ar
menia to aid, and many other ways in
which "war work" may still be done.
80, 600 new members were received last
year, and more are ready to come for the
asking. A "Jubilee Drive" is planned
also, and people will be as willing to
give to the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, as to other organizations.
The Drive is for 81, ,OOO, 600 and begins in
March, on Neal Dow's birthday. Each
State has been sent the quota which it is
to raise, and preparations are already
begun. E. F. M.

Alice Brady, Monday

We quote the following from the Mo-
ton Picture News concerning Alice Brady
in 'The Whirlpool which will be shown
Monday.
Victoria Morton's novel "The Whirl-
pooP' has been put into picture form by
Eve Unsell and produced by Select with
Alice Brady as the Star and Alan Cros-
land the director. William Marshall was
the cameraman, The story is dramatic
in the extreme, the heroine. Bella Cavel-
10, being the decoy for her stepfather'
gambling house. 1t belongs to the class
of fiction that will not stand the test of
plausibility, but has sufficient feverish
excitement to keep the spectator from
bothering with that fact.
On the artistic side there is much to
recommend the picture. Director Cros-
land knows how to treat his subject, and
the entire production is in keeping with
the theme. Alice Brady is sufficiently
attractive as the decoy, and acts with
force and skill

John BARRYMORE in "Raf1es," Friday.

Here's something you've been waiting
for. "Raffles, the Amateur Cracks
man." has been screened at last, the fa-
nous story by E. W. Hornung has been
made into one of the most exciting photo
dramas that you have ever seen. It's
great stuff. Don miss it Friday.
1t isn't at all necessary to tell you even
a wee bit of this story from the famous
novel by E. w. Hornung, because there
probably isn't person living who hasn't
read it. But to see on the screen the
thrilling adventures of the society thief
who stole for the sheer love of stealing,
and for the excitement of the chase, and
! the mere Joy of outwitting the police and
amateur detectives who sought to cap
ure him is treat which you can't afford
to miss. And John Barrymore is an ideal
"Ratfles." His work is of the finest, and
although you can't approve of his occu-
patton, you certainly will approve of his
methods

Presenting the Worlds Greatest Stars in

BRYANT Washburn, Thursday.

There are people, undoubtedly, who
elect to follow the gypsy trail through
life, caring little whittier it may lead, so
long as they find adventure along the
way or freedom from ties that bind them
to one spot
This is the theme of the new Para
mount picture, "The Gypsy Trail" in
which Bryant Washburn is starred and
which is shown Thursday But the star
is not the Gypsy-on the other hand, he
is kindly man, who loves fondly, but
who lacks the vigor that will win his
,choice. In the end, however, he triumphs
over the purely superficial picturesque
ness of the rover.
The Mack Sennett comedies have been
winning popular favor by their laugh
provoking qualities and for this, Thurs
day, we offer Louise Fazenda in the two
reel riot of fun, "The Kitchen Lady,"
