MRS. AVERY'S LECTURE.
Ellsworth People Interested il
Eroriny Former Resident.

Fearing Former Resident.
+ The people of Ellsworth are an
ticipating with great deal of inter
est the opportunity to hear Mrs
Martha Moore Avery, a former resi-
dent of this city, who will lecture
I here on Thursday, June 2, under
the auspices of the Boosters club
for the benefit of the high school
building fund.
The subject of her lecture will be
"Americanism. Mrs Avery is con-
sidered to be one of the most elo-
quent women upon the American
platform. She is known the coun-
try over as an economist of a high
order. She is the director of the
Boston School of Political Economy
Her two books Socialism: the
Nation of Fatherless Children" and
"Bolshevism It's Cure" are pioneer
works that expose the fallacies of
those radical movements that
threaten the welfare of human So
ciety.
Mrs. Avery's services are much in
demand, and the Boosters club
feels much pleased to have received
her consent to lecture here. Judg-
ing by the interest that has been
taken in this event from the time
Mrs. Avery was announced to APP
pear in Ellsworth, the committee in
charge expects large and repre-
sentative gathering.
Many of the women of Ellsworth
claim Mrs. Avery as one of their
own. Therefore many are expected
to come to welcome this former
resident as we'll as to hear her.
Mrs. Avery is one of the leading
officers of the Philomathia club,
which is composed of lovers of
learning. She is also vice-president
of the Catholic Woman's League of
the archdiocese of Boston that has
a membership of eight thousand.
Mrs. Avery's power as a speaker
was demonstrated recently when,
after a short talk in the interest of
the two million dollar drive to
further the work of Boston college,
her hearers were aroused to so high
a pitch of enthusiasm that her re-
marks were applauded for fully five
minutes, and money pledges in the
cause of education came from all
parts of the great audience.
1t is said that in Mrs. Avery may
be plainly seen that stern de-
termination to stand unflinchingly
for principles believed to be correct
that is in part an inheritance of the
spirit of those Moores that came
over in the cabin of the Mayflower;
those Moores who fought in the bat
tie of Bunker Hill, and in the war
to maintain union of states that
shall be inseparable.

Studs" Mary Pickford's forth
coming production for the United
Artists which will be seen at the
Dirigo tomorrow, might we'll be
termed '"The Tale of a Shirt" for
the scenes are all laid in little
laundry in the slums of London,
and Miss Pickford, as Amanda
Affiick, weaves such a romance
about the shirt which has been left
by a casual customer that even her
girl chums believe it almost as
much as herself.
Having preached the philosophy
of gladness in "Pollyanna." Mary
PickfOrd in Studs teaches the ad-
vantages and consolation of a vivid
imagination, and when Lavender
the delivery horse, is about to be
sold for glue, she rescues him. takes
him up two flights of stairs to her
room, and tells him such wonder
full tales that even this poor old
animal believes it.
But, with all, Amanda Aftiick is
little figure true to life, and with
Miss Pickford's deft touches, she
brings the audience back from
laughter to tears and back again
with her wonderful tales, to the
tragic termination of her romance
-Advt.

He was your noble father, and toiled
like any slave,
And most he gained by honest toll
for you he kindly gave;
And now. while life surrounds you
with many joys you crave,
Think kindly of your father, and
don't neglect his grave.
Don't let the grass and stubble grow
rough upon his bed.
But give it loves attention in honor
of your dead;
1t looks so sad and lonely without a
bit of care,
And very unattractive to all who lin
ger there
Don't forget he loved you, through
years of constant care;
When angels smile above you, your
father may be there.
Regret, on wings of sorrow, will
often come too late:
Then do not trust tomorrow with
things that should not wait.
Smoothe the spread above him, and
beautify with flowers
The sweetest and the fairest that
scent the summer hours
Though frets and cares assail you
and you miss the joys you
crave,
Think kindly of your father, and
don't neglect his grave.

sponsible for this exodus which threat
ems the very foundations Of our So

learned the lesson Of well-built build

all of the farmers will demand the
best buildings and the best equipment.

roof ventilators and roof dormers pro-
viding excellent ventilation for both
lower floor and hay NOW. Fresh air
intakes located at the proper intervals
about the lower barn floor furnish a
continual supply of fresh air, while
foul air fiues carry off the impure air
which is so dangerous in buildings
where animals are housed. While
barns are built more for utility than
appearance it is wise to make them
appear somewhat attractive. This
building is an excellent addition to
any farm.
Modern barn construction lays par
ticular emphasis upon interior arrange
ment and labor-saving equipment.
These two points should be kept fore
most in mind when designing the
buildings. Upon them depends the eff
ticiency of production and the satisfac
! ton of help That is why carrier
tracks for litter and feed carriers have
been installed in feed and litter al
Ieys The track running through the
feed alley runs TO the grain spouts
at one end of the building. The car
riers are filled from these spouts
which tap the grain bins on the floor
above. The litter track connects each
litter alley with the manure pit ON fhe
outside Of the barn. These carriers
have helped to lift very heavy bur
den from the shoulders of the firm
help and the farmers boys who take
an active interest. 1t is less liable chat
they win seek the alluring positions
IF the city if modern labor-saving
conyeniences on the farm make their
work more pleasant and give them
more time for amusement and pleas
ure.
All cow stalls, hose stalls, pens,
etc, are divided off by modern steel
stall equipment. The floor Is concrete
with sanitary manger troughs and
cutters. Stanchions and water cups
are an essential part of this barn
equipment. At one end Of the barn
are the COW pens and box stalls. The
effect Of this sanitary and efficient
equipment has been demonstrated In
the increased production Of the ami
mails. Contented cows will not only
produce a high-grade milk, but plenty
