DIR. A. S. CONDOR DEAD.
Native of PenObscOt Became PrOmi-
nent in Utah.

Dr.. Amasa S. Condor, a native of
Penobscot, died Tuesday, Jan. IS, at
his home in Ogden, Utah, at the age
of seventy-nine years. Death fol-
lowed a long illness. DR.. Condor
was frequent contributor to The
American, and his writings, both in
readers of this paper. He re-
tanned lively interest in his home
town. The Deseret News of Salt
Lake City says of him:
Born in Maine, December %,
1871, DR.. Condor spent life of SER
vice to his country, utilizing his
skill as surgeon and physician to
assuage the ills of his fellows, and
with his pen he achieved distinction
as poet and loyal booster of his
adopted town.
DR.. Condor fought during the Civil
war and participated in many i'm
portant battles. He served with the
9Th Maine Later he was made
second lieutenant on the staff of
General Hancock.
Coming to Ogden in 1874 as sur
geon for the Union Pacific railroad,
after ten years in that capacity, he
began life here as practicing
surgeon. During late years he had
been influential in civic affairs which
he assisted through the medium of
his writings.
On June is, 1889, he married
Elizabeth Slater, who survives him,
pr, Condor was graduated by the
University of Michigan School of
Medicine and the Marion Sims Inst-
tute of Medicine of st. Louis.
He was member of the congre-
CATION of the Methodist Episcopal
church, a prominent Mason, a men,
Der of the DiX-Logan post, G. A. r.,
Spanish War Veterans, and the
auxiliary of the G. A. r. composed of
veterans and their wives, the Weber
club and the Weber County Medical
society.
The doctor served two terms in the
Utah legislature During the Span
ish-American war DR.. Condor served
as surgeon at United States general
hospital at Fort Bayard, New Mexico
He was the author of a volume of
poems, "a Handful of Flowers"
On several occasions during the
world war, Dr.. Condor contributed
poems which were contained in a
volume sold by tAe Red Cross during
the campaign for funds On state
occasions poem by DR.. Condor
occupied prominent place in the
program.
Dr. Condor was an uncompromis-
ing republican, Even when con-
fined to his bed by his weakening
illness, DR.. Condor employed his
vigorous pen in the last campaign.
Throughout his residence in Og-
den, the doctor was champion of
the mistreated animal. The driver
who beat his horse, or the master
cruel to his dos was given little
mercy when DR. Condor heard about
it. He was an individual humane
society. always alert and watchful

paved roads. Large groves of
orange, grapefruit and peach trees,
many just coming into bearing, are
on both sides of this road, and are
miles in extent. The soil is mostly
white sand, but produces citrus fruit,
berries and vegetables when proper
ly cultivated.
We took boat ride across the bay
to St. Petersburg, and looked over
the city, which is advertised as the
Sunshine City," but unfortunately
for our party, there was heavy
rainfall for several hours. This was
the first rain that had fallen In the
daytime since December 6.
This part of Florida has Won
derful winter climate, never going
below 40 degrees, and not above 10
during our sojourn here. Flowers
in great variety of coloring are In
bloom everywhere. The South Flor
ida state fair will be held here
from February to IL, at which
time will also occur the Gasaprilla
carnival, very similar to the Mardi
Gras at New Orleans.
Capt Tinker and wife of Camden
and Mr. Mcintosh and wife OF Bel
fast, both we'll known in Ellsworth,
are wintering in Tampa, and we are
enjoying their company very much
and attend many outings with
them. We are now located in the
home of a gentleman and wife for
merly from New York state, where
we have nice housekeeping apart
ments. We shall probably remain
here until the first of April.

Reapportionment of Maine into

Reapportionmen of Maine into 3
congressional districts is still oc-
rgppying attention of political fig
aure,s. One suggestion advanced is
1the division Of the State according to
principal business interests-one
coast district, including all the coast
counties from Washington to Sagada
hoc inclusive, and with Penobscot or
Eennebec added to make up the
quota of population; a northern dis
trict, made up principally of the
agricultural and numbering counties,
and a western district, made up of the
Principal manufacturing counties.
The idea is not without merit.

YOUR RHEUMATISM
Remove Its Cause by Purifying
Your Blood.

One of the most important du-
ties Of your system is to burn up
certain substances no longer of use
in your body. One is uric acid,
now generally held to be the cause
of rheumatism. 1t inhames the
joints, stifIens the muscles, causes
pains, aches, and lameness.
The system is helped to dispose
Of this troublesome substance, and

active cathartic. A grand treat

LEAGUE

The Reflector has received the
prospectus Of new league that
promises to be even more profitable
for its managers than the Non Par
tisan variety. 1t Is expected that
1t will be put on the market In a
few weeks and the chance for
agents to get territory will soon be
open. The announcement is:
Noting the success Of the Nom
Partisan League in separating folks
from their money by selling the
privilege Of voting for $1S a year,
we propose to put on the market an
entirely new and improved Non
Compos League that will give yet
more for the money and with
smaller fee. The members will not
only be allowed to vote but they
may also buy goods wherever they
desire, provided they have either
money or credit; they may attend
church wherever they please and
also have the right to catch drift
wood in Kansas streams, provided
half the catch is turned over to the
officers Of the league. Now for all
these privileges the fee, instead Of
being $18 as the N. p. L. for vot-
ing alone, will be only so, half Of
which will go to the head officers
and the remainder to the agents who
get members. We figure that we
can get 10000 members In Kansas
during the winter IL we can get
lot of bright young men on the job
that will be $4,000 clear money,
and then we can go out In other
states. 1t is not, expected that any
work will be done in North Dakota
as the people there have been milk
ed about dry. This is the best pro-
position for making easy money
that has been evolved since the oil
stock game was invented. Agents |
can make big money. Watch for
complete details"
This League promises to make II
not for the N. p. L. 1t certainly
gives much more for the money and
ought to appeal to everybody who
wants to ioin something.

B u YIN NO w

We want to say a few words to
the people Of Abilene and Dickin-
son county about the merchandise
situation. The stores Of Abilene are
putting on sales of goods at prices
lower than they have been for four
years, In many instances they are
below the cost of the goods and gen.
orally show no profit whatever. 1t
is done because the merchants want
to maintain trade activity and clean
up shelves of goods that have been
accumulated while the public was
holding off for lower prices. Prices
are as low today as they will be for
some time. II the public does not
buy, the manufacturers will have no
orders, stocks will diminish and
prices will be higher. In any event
the decline will be very gradual
from this time until in year or two
we are back to normal conditions.
There should be no extravagance-I
we all want to avoid that-but nor
NAL needs should be filled. In that
way business will be continued and
It will be possible to prevent another
rise in manufacturer prices.
The point we are trying to make
Is that we should relax the strike on
high prices now to the extent Of sat
styling our needs. The merchants
ire doing their best to bring prices
iown and the economic laws that
control such things are at work. A
wave Of extravagant buying might
interfere with that process, but sat
styling our real needs at this time
5 not going to stop the lower trend.
nd what we pay now will not
mount to much when compared
Nth what we shall have to pay
ONE months hence. However, should
re continue to refuse to buy mod
rately now the result upon business
nd therefore upon the prosperity Of
be community 70 going to be SER

Of this opportunity. At a special
election on measures referred in June
1918, they still carried at the polls.
In 1920, when they had had COM
plete control for less than two years
here is the story of the November
election: They lost a majority in the
house, only have majority Of one
In the senate, lost a place on the
supreme court, lost the executive Of
fices. Governor Frazier's majority Of
over 10000 In 1915 has dwindled to
less than 5000. Mr.. Townley has
decided to leave North Dakota and
take up his work in Kansas.
A word as to tn personnel Of Mr..
Townley and his cohorts. For organi-
cation purposes he secures largely
Socialists and other radical propa-
gandists from outside the state. Some
Of these have court records. Mr..
Townley himself is travelling about
the country under sentence waiting |
for the supreme court to decide fin |
ally on his case. In the case Of mis- |
fellow worker, in q similar oftense,
the supreme court decided, that the
sentence must be carried out.
The appofntive officials in our
State have In no small part been CIV
en- to those from outside the State.
Upon investigation, these folks often
times have proven to be radical So
.ialists.
