who substituted as assistant at the
School street grammar school for
part OF the term, has returned to
her school at Houlton. Miss Dicki-
son was well liked by both pupils
and parents, who regret that she
will not return to Ellsworth.
There was a large attendance of
women at the lecture by Mrs.
Parker of the public health service
with moving pictures, given at the
Dirigo theatre last Friday evening"
after the regular program. This
picture is one of those approved by
the surgeon-general of the United
States army, and has made pro-
found impression wherever shown
Requests for its repetition here have
been made. DR.. H. L. D. Woodruff
local health officer, is now trying to
arrange for the presentation here of
a similar picture and lecture for
men.

The Ellsworth A. C. basketball
team will close it's season with a
game Friday evening against the C.
H. Rice team of Bangor. This will
be the rubber game between these
teams. Early in the season, before
the Ellsworth boys had got going"
the Rice team trimmed them hand
somely. Later in the season, Ellis
worth wiped this out with clean-cut
victory over the Rice team, which
now seeks a deciding game. 1t should
furnish good game for the wind
up of the season. There will be a
five-reel picture at the Dirigo Friday
evening, and it will be over in time
for those who wish to attend the
basketball game. Last night ELS
worth A. G.. trimmed Eastport Am
erican Legion team by the score of
44-1S. The game was better than
the score indicates. The same teams
will meet again tonight If Ellis
worth wins, it may justly claim the
championship of Washington county
as well as that of Hancock county,
to which it has already established
title.
The fifth and last of the series of
entertainments given this winter un-
der the auspices of Frank E. Whit
more post, American Legion, will be
given next Monday evening at Han
cock hall. All of these entertain
ments have been of very high class,
yet of popular interest, and the one
booked for Monday evening is said
to be the best of the series. 1t is by
Vierra's Royal Hawaiian Singers and
Players. Hawaiian music has been
a great success in America because it
is different. The wistful beauty of
the music seems to carry American
audiences across the Pacific to those
beautiful islands of the South Seas.
The melodious strains of the songs
and the accompaniment on native in
struments, with the peculiar sliding
of the fingers on the strings, are
plaintive and fascinating. Each
member of Vierra's quintet is a
sOloist, either instrumental of vocal.
Their repertoire includes songs of
Hawaii sung in native tongue, many
of the popular airs of this country
and classical and operate numbers.
The company appears in native Ha-
waiian dress.
