AN OPEN LETTER
To the Students of Ellsworth High
School.

Ellsworth, Me-, Oct. 3, 1921.
Mr. Editor:
Through the columns of The
| American, l ask privilege to call the
attention of the students of our
| high school to few facts as they
| appear to one who is interested in
the schools welfare.
1t is admitted that the present
high school building is inadequate
in every way to the comforts of the
scholar of to-day. But how is a
| new building to be obtained? Can
we be optimistic enough to feel that
the city can appropriate $4,000 or
100000 for modern school
building? If this goal is to be
reached, it looks to me that the
medium must be by subscriptions
and requests.
Many of you attended the food
fair, held by the Boosters club, on
that memorable Friday evening,
April /, 1921, when approximately
$1,000 was raised in very short
time, for high school building
fund. You saw how literally the
citizens gave, and on the part of
many it was sacrifice.
Now, if rumors of unruliness and
lack of interest in the school work
are continually brought to the at
tention of the citizen of Ellsworth,
will they be as willing to make the
sacrifice for a new building as they
otherwise would?
Because the building is old is not
an excuse for you not to be able to
receive as good an education as did
the average scholar of past years.
The teachers are as we'll qualified,
if not better, for the positions they
hold, and are as willing to impart
their knowledge to you. They I'M
doubtedly feel that, as young men
and women, when you enter the high
school you should have a sense of
governing yourselves; not having to
be governed by big stick or by
some other means.
You should realize that, upon en-
tering the high school, many of you
have only four more years in which
to complete your education, and to
fit you to earn living for your
selves and may be others.
Are you getting all you can from
this high school? Ask yourselves
this question, and be able to answer
Eyes" when you have completed the
course.
You may say 1--WE would not be
benefited by this new building"
This is true, but upon you rests the
schools reputation and upon that
may depend the possibility of the
scholars in our first and second
grades of to-day having this build
ing in which to complete their edu-
cation.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
Expert Lecturer to Tell How to Get
Best Results.

One of the best things along edu-
'cational lines, and which has re-
'ceived endorsement from business
organizations in the largest cities,
is the lecture and moving pictures
on retail merchandising that is be-
ing sent out by the National Cash
Register Co. of Dayton, o.
The board of trade has been able
to secure this entertainment for the
benefit of the merchants and clerks
of Ellsworth, and it will be pre-
sented at Hancock hall, Wednesday
evening of next week at s o'clock.
The title of the pictures is Get
ting the Most Out of Retailing"
The film story is one Of the clever
est pieces of work ever produced
covering retail merchandising.
The wide-awake business man of
to-day is eager to keep pace with
the latest ideas of bookkeeping and
better ideas in merchandising, and
at an opportune time. The lecture
covers retail failures and their
causes; store organization, news
paper advertising, window display,
salesmanship, system in retail bust
ness and business control.
Any one of these subjects would
be of great interest to merchants
and clerks. The one in particular
which should receive favorable con-
sideration from the business man to-
day is the value Of newspaper ad-
vertising judiciously and constantly
used The lecturer will give
some useful hints along these lines,
as well as other phases of efficiency
methods that will be helpful to the
merchants and clerk.
Admission is free. Cards of in
vitation may be obtained of the
secretary of the board of trade,
Harry c. Stratton. at his store on
Main street, beginning Friday morn.

COUNTY CONTESE.
Boys and Girls Will Met at Els
worth on October IA.

worth on October IA.
Over 200 boys and girls from all
~over Hancock county are expected in
Ellsworth, Friday, Oct. IA. These
boys and girls are enrolled in the
boys and girls agricultural clubs
in the county, and are doing their
bit in this important work. A big
time is planned for the day, with a
program that will be interesting to
all. Governor Baxter will be pres
ent, for the first time a Maine gov
ernor has attended a county contest
in any of the counties.
The program in the forenoon will
be devoted to judging, and teams
from all clubs will be invited to
compete. The afternoon program
will be devoted to songs, cheers,
speaking, miscellaneous program
and the awarding of prizes. A ban
quet will be served in the evening,
Prof. A. l.. T. Cummings of Orono
acting as POSTMASTER.
All organizations are lending
their heartiest support to make this
contest the best yet. The six banks
OF Hancock county have contributed
$500 for prizes. The woman's club
has undertaken to furnish food in
the form of cakes, pies, cookies and
other toothsome goodies soliciting
from the housewives of Ellsworth.
This committee is headed by Mrs.
Sara Shea.
The board of trade will raise the
money by subscription to furnish the
hearty food for the dinner and ban
quet, and to provide entertainment
for the boys and girls. 1t is hoped
enough will be raised to provide not
only hearty food and some enter
tainment but to enable them to at
tend the picture show in a body in
the evening. The high school or
chestra will furnish music.
The speakers of the day, besides
Governor Baxter, will be Lester
Shibles, State leader of the boys
and girls clubs, and T. ]. Aber-
nethy, principal of the Ellsworth
high school. The dinner and ban
quet will be held in the dining
room of Odd Fellows hall.

test will be under the direction of
County Agent H. Styles Bridges, as
sisted by Miss Howe, the home
demonstration agent, and Mrs. w.
B. Stanley, county project leader.
Mrs. Stanley will act as chairman
for the day.

noch and succeeded in discharging
the other barrel of the gun harm
lessly. Then Moves came to Patterns
assistance, and they bound BennOch
and delivered him to Sheriff Wes-
colt. Hamilton had no hand in this;
he had disappeared into the woods.
In the municipal court, Bennoch
was bound over to the October
grand jury in the sum of $4,000.
Alterations and repairs estimated
to cost $4,000 are to be made on
the Congregational church, making
it thoroughly up-to-date church
plant, all under one roof. At a
meeting of the parish last Friday
evening, estimates were submitted
on the two plans, one to remodel the
chapel, and the other to put the
vestry under the church. Both
plans were pretty thoroughly dis
cussed, and while the chapel plan
would cost $4,000 or $4,000 less,
the greater economy in operation
of a plant under one roof was con-
vailed. Milton w. Strattpn of Bar
Harbor submitted plans for the
change in the church basement,
which will be adopted, with some
suggested changes. The plans pro-
vide for parlor, vestry, a social
room for boys, and Kitchen.
Other general repairs will be made
on the church building, to the ex-
tent of about $4,000. This will in
clude the rebuilding of the steps and
approach to the church and the in
staIlation of a steam heating plant.
The present chapel building will be
torn down, and as much of the lum-
Der as possible will be used in the
alterations on the church. Work on
the church repairs will begin at
once.
Miss Clio M. Chilcott, who, with
Miss Nancy G. Blackwell, spent the
summer in France, whites from New
York: "Our summer was an extra
ordinary experience from every
point of view. The courage with
which the French people are begin
ming life all over again is marvellous,
and you do not hear single word
of complaint. They are recultivat-
ing their fields, starting business
over again, and rebuilding their
school, letting their homes, in most
cases, wait until the last. In the
meantime they are living in any
kind of shelter they can get. We
were in a party of fifteen enter
tanned for two days at the citadel
in Verdun. The commandant, who
had done large part in defending
Verdun, took us all. over the battle
fields and pointed out everything to
us as no one else could have done.
He took us into German shelters,
shattered forts, and through under
ground galleries. The most sacred
spot of all was the bayonet trench,
where a company of French soldiers
was swallowed up in the earth, and
their bayonets, which they are still
holding in death, project above the
ground. The conlmandant did not
allow us to leave that spot until we
had all saluted the dead with him.
To him was given the choosing of
the unknown soldier who now rests
beneath the Arc de Triumphe in
Paris. He told us the story Of how
the choice was made, and 1 hope
sometime to have time to write the
story as he told it to us. Seeing the
devastated sections was a deep ex-
perience which we would not have
missed but we were able to spend
the rest of our summer in lighter
vein"
