FARMER KADRRLY VISITS CITY.
Shipped Car Of Cattle to Market and
Goes Along 10 See How It's Done.

0oeu HiOHk 10 Jee htoW ~ = DoDs.
Having cattle on feed, and see
ing that the market was going
down faster than the fat was gsing
up on the cattle, decided to take
my medicine as many other feed
ers were doing. So. sold. 1t
was just a matter of loading on
the car and finding who had
bought them, and what he was
going to give me for them. l
loaded them up. The agent made
out a bill, which looked like a hold
up, and it was still day time and |
hadn't even started. But it's
legal; the law permits it. We
rode to Kansas City and landed
in good shape. Next morning
] went downeto the pens to watch
for my purchaser, and upon the
fences noticed quite a lot Of men.
Most Of them beng srassers |
got up there too.
Ittook a steady nerve to walk
those fences and hear your sales
man tell you what you got for
your cattle. But l held my poise
very well as / knew what was
coming. / had read Of feeders
selling their cattle and giving their
corn, so l did not expect much
better treatment. Our statesmen,
Of whom make no complaint,
had all set for the great panorama
when there appeared a squad on
Horse back. / said to a neighbor
eraser, who are they?" "'.They
are birds" he said. | soon saw
from the-way they picked around
and took our cattle, and gave
but little in return, that they bore
some resemblance to the vultnre
and that my neighbor was right.
The first that came along says
"They are too good for me-
Guess he was not buying beef to
feed the people Of Kansas City,
from the way they were selling
meat ub town. The next one
says They are not good enough
for me-" He seemed to want
only choice stuff Guess he was
buying beef to feed the people
of Kansas City. About this time
there came along some men driv-
ing an alley full of calves, more
calves than had ever seen. Big
calves and little calves; fat calves
and poor calves; hungry, weak and
young calves. / doubt if some
had ever seen the sun. We had a
few cloudy days. Some little
calves were so weak they were
reeling from side to side, making
their way down the alleys to the
SHAMELESS. There seems to be a
law against selling cattle before
giving them feed and drink; and |
saw lots Of hay wagons giving hay
to all cattle that were old enough
to eat it. So watched for the
milk wagons that would feed the
poor little hungry calves. Where
were theyg And where are our
great law makers, who are doing
such wonderful things for us to-
day? And thought Of you people
who are going to your butcher
and calling for meat from these
poor little calves.

10 US the last lew years. All went
about as j had expected, and my
bristles did not rise to full extent
until next day up town.
The transaction being closed at
the yards / boarded a street car
and went up town, thinking the
wear on shoe-leather would be
about as much as car fare. On
arriving at my stopping place, a
woman whom / win call Alice for
convenience, and because | like the
name, too, met me at the door and
in a voice keyed to about what /
would call G, said did they take
our cattle and give us nothing
back?" That's Just what they
did,"
Next day Aliceand | went down
town shopping. In our town we
call it trading" here its looking
in the windows. After a little
while shopping we dropped into a
store known as one of the poor
mans" stores. stepping along as
though we might buy the entire
stock If it suited and the price was
right. You couldn't tell a rich
man in there unless he had a tag
on. Alice did a little trading Il
stood around.
After while Alice says in q
rather sympathetic way, care you
tired? Let's go and have lunch
have a piece Of fish and rest a
WHILE" Fish just suited me, for
two or three reasons. | am very
fond Of fish, and then admired
her taste in selecting a cheaper
meat. So we stepped on a flying
anyhow it went up. We
landed where they eat. The room
was well filled. l glanced at the
menu and thought we must be in
the wrong place that only the
wealthy could eat here. They
must be serving the meat from
Lulu Mayfower," the champion
heller at the ChicagoInternationaI
that sold fer $1.l0 per pound.
About now Alice says get in

fashion, single file)and takes up
the trail. ( took one too. Itook
no napkin, but wished later / had
a dozen as they were the cheapest
thing they had. Well, we slid, or
rather slid our trays along down
the line on the railing till we came
to the butter. Alice takes little
dish with a sample of butter about
the size Of a penny for 2 cents, and
gives me one too. The next we
came toowas bread and rolls. The
bread was too light for me. You
know women Judge their bread by
its lightness--I don't. But if the
slices had been big enough l would
have brought some home to replace
my broken window panes. So we
took rolls, weighing about an ounce,
for 2 cents each. Then comes the
meat, tabled with something, that
looked like the skull and crossbones
to me, rs cents. Next comes the
green stuff, and Alice being more
vegetarian took better to that.
You would of thought they meas
ured it out by the peck from the
price, but / was headed for fish.
Fish hadn't left my mind since
Alice first mentioned fish to me on
the bottom floor. We came to

four such schools to be held in Maine
to attend, but officers of lodges any
where in Maine are especially urged
to be present. Many are expected
from Washington and Penobscot
counties. The school of instruction
will open at Lygonia lodge room at
10 a. M, and will be resumed in the
afternoon at o'clock. A banquet
will be served at Masonic hall at
$50. Only Masons who have reg
istered and attended the school Of
instruction will be entitled to attend
the banquet. In the evening Lygo-
MIA lodge will work the third degree.
II the attendance in the evening is
too large for the regular lodge
room, it will be at Hancock hall.
The work will be inspected by Dis
trict Deputy Clarence E. Dow of Bar
Harbor. After work in the evening,
light refreshments will be served.
Nature herself is enjoying the re-
markable weather of this summer
and fall, and is playing more than
the usual number of unreasonable
pranks. Mrs. w. A. Alexander last
week picked nearly pint of
luscious ripe raspberries from her
bushes, and they are not of the
"everbearing" variety, either. H.
P. Carter on Sunday brought in a
spray from a wild raspberry bush
bearing at least two dozen ripe ber-
ries, and other sections of the
county report not only ripe wild
raspberries, but wild strawberries.
Apples and apple blossoms on the
same Dough, spring daisies and
spring dandelions, are almost COM
mon, while violets, bluets and but
tercups are also reported. In many
sections of the county, on the high
ridges, frost has not yet struck, and
farmers here are still enjoying green
corn, right from the garden. Only
a week ago, blueberries were being
picked at Marlboro in sufficient
quantities to be brought into the
market b the crate, and they found
ready sale.

in Hancock hall, and was we'll at
tended. Among the speakers of in
terest was Governor Baxter. He ad-
vocated the study of civil govern
ment in the schools as necessary for
citizenship. The work done by these

be an incentive to the boys and girls
of Ellsworth to Join in club work.
Music was furnished by the high
school orchestra, composed of Alfred
Morang, director; Harry Kenyon,
Louise Alexander, Marjorie Garland
violinists; Katherine Austin, plan
list; Lester Beal, drum. 1t was their
first appearance in public, after a
few rehearsals, and the music rem

the governor and audience. 1t is
soon to be increased by horn instru-
ments.

will be delivered by Patrick j. Kerly
of Dundalk, Ireland, at Hancock hall
Tuesday evening, Oct. 25, at s
o'clock.
Mr.. Kerly. lawyer by profession,
has already spoken to large audi
ences throughout New England since
his arrival from Ireland about three
weeks ago. Coming from the scenes
Of devastation and misery, he is per-

freshments were served, and the eve
ming spent socially.
Martin l.. Adams has closed nego-
tiations for the purchase OF the
Holmes business block on Main
street in which his store is located,
though the papers have not changed
hands as yet. Other important
transfers of business property are
also in negotiation. Business is un-
doubtedly looking up" in Ellsworth,
and with no available store locations
in sight, business men who rent are
having their worries.
Mrs. Katherine E. Staples was
proudly exhibiting on Saturday
splendid white rose, five inches
across it, sent her by Mrs. II. H.
Hopkins of Trenton. Mrs. HOP
kins' roses are always the admlra-
ton of her friends, but it is seldom
that they bloom so late in the year.
The rose sent Mrs. Staples was
picked October IA, but it is only one
of many picked from Mrs. Hopkins
outdoor garden this month, and the
roses are still blooming.
A party of friends and relatives
gave julius Young a pleasant sur
prise at his home on Monday eve
ming, his seventeenth birthday Inc
cake was presented by his aunt, MRS:

and vocal and instrumental music
enjoyed. He received many pretty
and useful gifts. Mr.. Young was

Saturday to spend the weekend and
Sunday with their sons, Principal

surprise, but met with somewhat OF
disappointment, as she hoped to
make the acquaintance of her grand
son, H. Styles Bridges, jr. That
young man, not being informed of
her coming. had gone off to Portland
with his mother.
A private hospital, which it is
hoped will prove the nucleus of a
much-needed public institution of
this kind in Ellsworth, is to be es-
tablished at the Aiken house at the
corner of Oak street and Birch ave-
nue. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles w. Hur-
ley will occupy the lower floor of the
house, and Mrs. Hurley, trained
nurse of eight years experience, will

on the second floor will be fitted up
for patients and for an operating
room. The house, owned by c. L..

MAKING BUSINESS PAY.
Ellsworth Merchants Receive Tips on
Advertising and Store Methods.

Advertising and Store Methods.
With more than 800 merchants
and salespeople present the business
lecture given last Wednesday eve
ming in Hancock hall was big sue
cess. The lecture entitled Getting
the Most Out of Retailing" was de-
livered by Mr. Sulley, representa-
tive of The National Cash Register
Co., who spoke under the auspices
of the Ellsworth board of trade.
The lecture, which was illustrated
with nearly 5000 feet of moving
pictures, was preceded by the show
ing of some very interesting COM
munity welfare pictures.
Mr.. Sulley said: "In these days
of keen competitio1r,~it is not easy
to be successful merchant. There
was day when merchant could
sit down and wait for business to
come, but to-day he must coax trade
through Advertising displays, store
arrangements, prompt and cheerful
service on the part of employees.
The fact is, the merchant who aims
at the highest success has big job
on his hands,"
An especially interesting topic
discussed by Mr.. Sulley was news
paper advertising. In this connec-
tion he said:
Among the important things to
which many merchants do not give
sufficient attention because Of the
press of details is advertising, yet
statistics show that hundreds of
merchants have failed because of
this neglect. Newspaper advertis-
ing travels far and wide. 1t is the
medium through which the mer-
chant gets his message to the people
in their homes. Customers like to
read their store news and general
news together. The merchant who
fills his ads with store news and in
teresting information about the
goods he carries is sure to win the
favorable attention of the reader.
Unfortunately many merchants are
of the opinion that it is necessary to
exaggerate to get the attention of
prospective buyers. This is not
true. OF course flaming headlines
like The Greatest Values Ever Of
fered' will attract attention., but
used too frequently soon will
destroy confidence in advertising
1t is sufficient to state facts. If you
have an exceptional bargain, say so,
but tell the truth about the goods"
Mr.. Sully said it is foolish to
spend a few dollars in advertising
and then say that advertising
doesn't pay. 1T does pay" he said
''as is attested by thousands of mer-
chants who have become successful
through its USE"

HOUSE NUMBERING CAMPAIGN.
Postoffice Department is Making Eff
fort Tor Proper Numbering.

Postoffice Department is Making Eff
fort Tor Proper Numbering.
The postoffice department is MAX
ing campaign for the proper num-
bering Of houses in towns having
free delivery. A recent order re-
quired carriers to make a report on
every house and business place not
properly numbered and without re-
ceptacle for mail. In Ellsworth
there is lack of system in this
respect. Many houses are not. num-
bered at all, or incorrectly num-
bered. On Main street, odd and
even numbers may be found on both
sides of the street.
1t is within the power of the de-
partment to discontinue free deliv-
cry where this condition exists, but
no such arbitrary step is considered
at present.
The postmaster in Ellsworth,
after receiving reports from carri-
ers, is instructed to notify owners
of buildings not numbered or in
correctly numbered, and also as to
receptacles for mail. The receptacle
may be either slot in the door or
an outside box of any suitable ma
terial.
1t is hoped that the people of Ellis
worth will cooperate with the de-
partment in this effort for better
mail service.
