canvassing Ellsworth for the
Hoover fund have collected thus
far 1915. AS Ellsworth's quota is
$1,000, it is hoped that all will be

ing. A collection taken for the
fund at the Catholic church last
Sunday amounted to $1O2, the
Catholic society contributing it's
offering collectively. All those
wishing to contribute may send
their donations to Mrs. F. M. Gay

The best basketball game of the
season in Ellsworth was the verdict
of all who saw the game last Friday
| night between the Ellsworth A. c.
and the American Legion team OF
Orono. At the end of the first half
| the score was 2S-14 in favor of the
visitors. Then the Ellsworth boys
put on steam and cut down the lead
until at the call of time they lacked
but one basket of tying the score.
The final score was 1892. Next
Friday evening at Hancock hall the
Ellsworth team will meet the fast
Veazie team. A good game is as
sured. Tonight the Ellsworth team
will play in Orono, and Wednesday
evening of next week it will play
Moran's All Stars of Bar Harbor at
Ellsw orth.

company their subscription with
letters congratulating Ellsworth on
getting together" and several
have a good word for the indication
that Ellsworth is opening its eyes
to the fact that the cutting out OF
politics in municipal affairs is for
the best interests of the city. The
general food fair plans are pro-
crossing we'll. Arrangements have
been made with several out-of-town
exhibitors including harrington

display Contributions by local
merchants have been very gener-
Gus. Among recent contributions
are fifty gallons of gas or OIL by

the Standard Oil Co., and $25 each
from the Union Trust Co. and Lib
