think that he ought to be allowed to say
whom he will have associated with him In
stead of the various editors and newspaper
writer's. We men of affairs sometimes get
an unaccountable impression like that.
There Is no accounting for taste. Several
weeks ago we happened to see man give
perfectly remarkable exhibition of bad taste.
There is a sea food restaurant up in Eighth
avenue where we like to go for clam
chowder and other deep sea fish every pay
day. which happens to be Friday. Well, on
this particular Friday evening several weeks
ago, while we We're deciding whether to en-
brace the cook or to merely tip the waiter
as an evidence of appreciation, a man came
into the restaurant with a very very pretty
girl. She was dressed in black and most
becomingly AS soon as they were seated
the man took an afternoon newspaper from
his pocket and proceeded to read, holding
the paper as a screen between the girl and
himself
We watched the girl to see what she
would do. She looked at herself in one of
the mirrors that line the wall, examined her
teeth, adjusted her hat and then settled
down in apparent peaceful resignation. Now
the question of taste arises 1--WE are speak
ing of taste" not 'breeding') What could
there possibly have been in that newspaper
which appealed to the man more than the
pretty girl he was with? We have seen sew
eral newspapers in our lifetime and have
read many articles in them, but we have
failed as yet to chance upon any edition of
any newspaper that we would use as a
screen between us and a pretty girl. The
fact is that the most interesting newspaper
article ever printed isn't half so interesting
as the most unin-resting girl
Possibly the man in the seafood place rea-
soned that the newspaper was thing of the
moment and would lose its freshness within
a few hours. while the freshness of the girl
was perennial We don't know. We didn't
ask him.
~ course we must realize in consider
ing the case of Mr.. Edison that 1t
happens to be his own money that
he is spending in projecting these young
men into a life of luxury with 500 a month.

Hazeltine Post Activities.

The annual meeting of Frank Durham
Hazeltine Post, American Legion of Hon
or, was held last Friday evening in its
room in the Marsh building. There was
a large attendance and the following Off
GERS were elected: Commander, Ralph
A. Bramhall; vice COM, j. Earle Braley;
adjt., Fuller c. Wentworth; treas, Har-
old E. Stone; chaplain, Alton L. john
son; historian, Carl F. Darby. Much in
terest was shown in the POSTS activities
for the coming year. 1t is expected that
over 800 ex-service men from the county
will be guests of the Post ait the memo
rial exercises, ETC., in this city Oct. 8th
One ex-service man in each town will be
on the committee. The Post will serve
a supper and smoker in Memorial hail.
They hope to entertain State Commander
E. S. Anthoine of Portland, Past Com
mander Col. Greenlaw of Augusta; State
Adjt. Boyle of Waterville and other prom
inent men. Among the plans of the i'm
mediate future to be discussed were a
football game, ball, ETC., Nov. 18th Arm
istice Day. Early in November the Post
will give minstrel show by local talent
under the direction of the John.B. Rog-
ers Producing Co. of Ohio, so favorably
known here in staging Katcha-Koo for
the B. H. S.
The inadequate accommodations of the
Post is serious question and also one in
which the public should be vitally inter-
ested. 1t is also an opportunity for some
one to place house at the disposal of the
Post. Other cities are assisting their
Posts and Belfast has several ideal places
for the purpose.
Last Sunday Commander Bramhall and
about SO members of the Post went tc
Islesboro on the steamer Castine with
the remains of Sergt. Malcolm Yeaton,
of the 5th Marine Corps, which arrived
here from France last Friday. He was
! the son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Yeaton anc
the only Islesboro boy to lose his life in tn,
World War. Rev. John Brush officiatee
and Post members say his address was
the best and most appropriate they eve
| listened to. The body was placed in
plot on the town library lot with full
military honors. Later monument will
be placed ON the plot, which will receiv
perpetual care.
Sunday afternoon the Commander ant
Post went to Monroe by automobiles t,
hold like service over the remains o
Corporal Chester Evans, which also ar
rived last week from France, where h
was killed in October 1918. He was cit
Ell for bravery. The funeral service
were held in the village church, with
very large attendance of the towns peo
pie.
The Post will go to Searsport and tt
Winterport to attend funerals in tn
near future, or upon the arrival of til
remains from France of Private Ralp
Gilkey of the former place and Priyat
Harold Damon Rich of the latter.
