park was baseball, with games in the
forenoon and afternoon between the
Ellsworth A. G. and the c. H. Rice
team of Bangor. Ellsworth took
both games, as reported elsewhere in

County Attorney Whiting, DR.. F. N.
Whittier, chemical expert of Bow

county medical examiner, and D. E.
Hurley counsel for Mr.. Slower, were
present.
The body was found in remark
able state of preservation, consider

took portions of it, believes the
presence of strychnine may be as
certained if that poison was the
cause of death.

Bluehill,
FOURTH OF JULY.

The celebration July fourth at
Mountain park, under the auspices
of the Horace X. Duffy post, Ameri
can Legion, was successful from
every point of view, and brought Wis
itors from many surrounding coun-
ties.
Sargentville A. A. sprung big
surprise on Seal Harbor A. A. by
winning the morning ball game from
the so-called county champions, 4 to
1. Higgins pitched heady game
for Sargentville, holding the island
team to five scattered singles. The
only misplay by the Sargentville team
was an excusable error by the short
stop of a hard-hit ball.
The afternoon game between Sar-
gentville and the Bluehill Badgers
was won by the Badgers, to 5.
Sargentville played better fielding
game than the locals, but were una
BILE to hit Clough safely with men
on bases.
The racing card furnished some of
the closest finishes seen on the local
track for a long time. The three
minute class required four heats,
and was won at the wire by Fred
Wilkes, driven by the owner, E. S.
Grindle. Official score:

Battalion" was shown to capacity
house in the evening, over 200 being

TO me Editor Of The evening Public LcdOer:
Sir-Nearly every ono knows or has heard
LlncoIn's Gettysburg speech. with malice
toward mono. with charity for all, with firm
ness In the right as God gives us to see the
right, let us strive on 70 finish the work we
are in: to bind UP the Nations wounds: to
care FOR him who shall have borne the bat
te' and for his widow and his orphan-to
do all which may achieve and cherish a Just
ana lasting peace among ourselves, and with
all Nations
Let us look back in 1917. when the man
hood OF America was being mobiliIed and
sent to the various camps Whom the units
were being sent ovoreeas every one was
seen to wave a fag as we passed by. When
the was over and we were returning,
we who had escaped the German machine
gun bullets and shells OF their artillery. the
prohteer said nothing was too good; but
when we asked him for Job he would not
look at us, or II he did give us one. we were
the first to be laid off.
Many OF them were not as we'll on as I
for had more than my $50 to fall back
on but II was over three months before
got a job. At that time 7 was nat broke
| When we asked for something so we could
get on our feet Congress said the United
states was broke. Others said that In 1918
they gave us $50, and IL we we're given ar
additional amount we would come back for
more.
Why not tax those who made money out
OF service. those who stayed behind and
| made mlllionB? know OF more besides my
self who drew very small amounts and not
tho thirty per.

water. although have found IL hard. But
there are those who have not been able &c

To tho Editor Of the Evening Pubic Ledger;
sir-since the city Councilmen' in whose
hands Is the distribution OF the cttys money
refuse to make appropriations for the start
ing Of municipal work, In order that the un,
employed situation may he rtghted' would
II not be possible for some body Of men, such
as our Chamber OF Commerce. TO come out
with a. strong appeal for action and force
Hall and his gang to open up ana do the
right thing BY those who have placed them
in their positions?
The public has no redress when the city
demands Of them additional taxes, and they
appear 10 have no say in the way the city
spends their money. or whether or not they
spend it at n time when 1t can be Of the
greatest advantage to the people-a time OF
dire distress as exists at present.
When times are normal II would make
no difference, and tho public might say. Let
them fight it out: 1t is no concern Of mine
but at this time when work is 80 badly
needed by close to n hundred thousand men
in thi3 city, II seems outrage that po
lltical factions should be able to hold VI
appropriations in the way tho present Coun
Gil is doing, simply to satisfy the ambitions
Of a. certain element in Council which now
seems to be in control. A. II. DAVIDSON.

Scramble Of Workers and Shoppers

To tho Editor Of the Eceni1iD Pubic Ledger!
SIr-FacIng the workers who find II nee.
ossary to use the cars around the city ana
trains running into the suburbs there comes
another obstacle to help break the temper
OF the aforementioned users of the cars and
trains.
This !s the rapidly growing number OF
shoppers who seem to think II necessary
10 stav in department stores until the
stores are ready to close. This is ABOUT
from ) to O'Clock. In which tho onices
and other places OF employment IN the cen
tral section of the city are about dlscnarsins
their workers, with the natural result that
the workers. and the shoppers scramble In
tho doorway of the car or train as soon as
the door Is opened and somebody gets hurt.
In most cases Il is the woman VINO ola not
profit by the experience OF last year ana ana
previous years but. instead, she still stays
in the depa rtment stores until the store
closes. which Is about the time the workers
are waiting for a car.
The shopper ought to know that 1t Is well
nign impossible for one to try to board n
car with an armload Of bundles when the
car is Jammed with people packed In like
tho uroverbiaI sardnCs.
why cannot the woman who Intends 70
shop and knows II the previous day make
her plans 40 that abe can be at the stores
whom they open in tho morninE'~ In thls
way she will be on hand to beat somebody
else to the bargains. and besides IN the
masoritr OF cases, she will feel a httle
tucRered out walking around In tho stores
rIl morning, in which cRse sho will start
home about 3 or o'clock to finish her
srorping on another or the next day. TINS
will enable her to get seat coming ana
going and will help stop some OF tho con-
gestlon OF cars about and o'clock.
Try this. my friends and see how it VII
agree with you.
I promise you you will feel better com
ir; home early instead OF packing yourself
IN the cars with the various odors from
the working clothes OF laborcrs and Other
workers. MRS. JOSEGh -

10 the Editor Of the ETcnin0 Public LcdooT
Sir-In tho Friday EvHNING PUBLIC
,.rpGFE leading Philadelphia merchant
said, ITO love manhood was better than low
ing horses and dogs" and went on to add
that ''thc cost Of keeping an animal, plus
tho love and attention showered on the same
would keep some motherlcss child" This
remark was so ridiculous that II was hard
TO believe that It made by an expert
enced business man.
We have IN our own home pet cat ana
the cost Of feeding him amounts to twenty
or twenty-five cents a week at the highest.
The love and attention he gets cost nothing
but the giving. I would like to know how far
twenty-five cents per wenk would go toward
feeding and clothing any child. It simply
cant be done.
Animals need homes as wcll as people. 1t
IA not necessary to max" a fool out OF one
self by too much attention, but surely II
some Of us who can't afford TO feed and
clothe extra children can find room enough
In our heurts and homes to shelter one OF
Gods creatures have a perfect right to
do SO. with the cost Of living these days
II IL small cause for wonder that few can
do any more than keep their own.

NJ the sItuation clearing. why Is PhiIa-
delphia backward in this respect? Are us
manufacturers and mill owners less alert
and less human? There Is no reason tha'
there should exist such an unemployment sit

that those who could give employment are
still asleep or holding off to further GRIND
down the worlSmen until they are compelled
10 beg for mercy to keep from starving and
