OBITUARY.
CAPT. HENRY c.. RAY.

CAPT. HENRY G. RAY.
Capt Henry C. Ray. a lifelong
resident of Bayside, Ellsworth. died
at his home early Tuesday morning,
April 10. at the age of sixty-seven
years and five months. Capt. Ray
lad but recently returned from
iebron sanatorium. He went
there for treatment in July, and for
a while seemed to be improving,
but he had bad turn, and from
that he failed rapidly. He re-
turned home in February. Every
thing was done to make his last
days as comfortable as possible.
Capt, Ray, in his early life, fol-
lowed the sea, going in command of
the old-time schooners Capt. John
the Forester, and the Abigail
worked for the late Isaac L..
Grant, in his ship-building in
dustry. He was a first-class ship
carpenter. But a longing for the
salt water drew him back, and he
carried on small fishing business
between the islands and Ellsworth
until i'll health forced him to retire
about two years ago.
Capt Ray was a man of sterling
qualities. lover of his home al
ways. Kind-hearted and generous,
and willing to help anyone in
trouble, he VIII be sadly missed.
His home is made doubly sad by the
death of the oldest son less than a
year ago. He leaves a widow and
one son, Roy, of Providence, r. l.,
and three daughters, Mrs. Ernest
e. Ray. Mrs. Adelbert H. Patten,
Mrs. Sanford Wiley, and five
grandchildren. all of Ellsworth

DAYLIGHT-SANING TIME.
Rural Sections Oppose Plan for
Ellsworth

Practically every organization
that represents the rural sections
of Ellsworth, within its limits, has
unanimously adopted resolutions
against notwithstanding time
These organizations represent
about 500 citizens of Ellsworth in
Guiding the North Ellsworth grange,
which. before notwithstanding was
talked of for the city of Ellsworth,
went unanimously against it; the
Bayside grange, which took action
at its last meeting and passed a
resolution against It; the local
branches of the Farm Bureau. which.
in two communities within the
limits of this city, have signed
petition against it. The citizens
of West Ellsworth solidly oppose
this. and the West Ellsworth
grange plans to take action this
week on it. When we have 500
citizens solidly against this meas
ure. besides hundreds within the
city's center who are opposed or
Indifferent is this not conclusive
evidence that daylight saving is not
wanted? Several of the men who
signed the petition for daylight say
ing have been known to say that
they thought it was a foolish
proposition, and they signed it be-
cause others wanted it.
1t is well worth while for the
average citizen of this city who is
favoring such a bill, to stop and
consider matters before taking any
direct action. The matter of day
light saving in Ellsworth has, in
the past week, been brought before
citizens in practically every town in
Hancock county, and in every case
they have declared themselves
strongly opposed, stating that in
some way or other it would cOmpli-
cate things or inconvenience them
in some of their business relations
with Ellsworth.
So taking into consideration the
opposition of the rural residents,
the fact that it would complicate
matters for everyone concerned, the
matter of train service, standard
time in other towns, etc. it seems a
fair conclusion that standard time
is what we want for Ellsworth, I'M
less the notwithstanding plan be
made a universal measure.

County Agricultural Agent.

Whiting Johnson of Otis, one of
the Oldest citizens of Hancock
county died Tuesday morning,
April %. Mr.. Johnson was ninety
seven years of age on February s
last. He was a native of WiscOn-
sin. but had lived in Otis sixty-siX
years. He was one of the pioneers
of that section. While on a hunt
ing trip in the vicinity, he sat down
upon a log to rest. The beauty of
the spot appealed to him, and he
saw in imagination a home there.
He resolved then and there to make
his dream come true He brought
the land, cleared it himself, and.
being carpenter and joiner, he
built his own house, in fact, fash
toned many of the tools with which
he built it. 1t had been his home
ever since.
Mr.. Johnson grew old happily,
retoining his facilities until the
end He had no illness, but had
realized for some time that he
could not last much longer. His
one desire was to see his son
William. who lived in California,
and who had not been home for
many years. This desire was
gratifed and both his sons. Will
