GREAT PICTURE COMING.
Otis Skinner in 'kismet" at Els
worth May 4.

Otis Skinner in "kismet" at Els
worth May 4.
"Kismet,' one of the greatest, and
one of the newest great pictures, will
be seen at the Dirigo theatre in Ellis
worth Wednesday, May 4, afternoon
and evening. 1t is new evidence of
the aim of the Dirigo management
to give it's patrons the best that this
great production has been secured
for Ellsworth. This picture has only
been shown in the larger cities, and
never before in town less than four
times the size of Ellsworth.
Generally conceded to be the most
stupendous photoplay ever made, bar
none, "Kismet," starring Otis Skin
ner, is probably the most costly of
productions. 1t is conservatively es-
timated that ''Kismet' cost as much
as ten ordinary feature pictures. The
gorgeousness of the settings has nev-
er been surpassed. The ancient city
of Bagdad was rebuilt with high
technical skill, and the whole pro-
duction is as near perfection as the
l1OSl HlpllSueti dlllSIS ana oA-
perts of the moving picture world
could make it.
"Kismet' is the tale of the day of
days in the life of Hail. the Beggar,
who lived in the city of Bagdad when
that city was at the height of it's i'm
portance. Between dawn and sun
set, Hail is lifted high and sunken
low. He meets his mortal enemy
and Stays him in the prison where
they are coincidentally thrown. He
is presented to the Caliph, to whom
his daughter, Marsinah, is married
at sunset, while Hail, with a ban
ishment order over his head, sinks
to rest on the stone steps of the
mosque.
interviewer is the story of Kut-ul-
Kulub, the wife of wives of Mansur,
the wazir of police, who is seen in
intriguing and alluring moments in
the harem amid other voluptuous
beauties whose chief occupation is to
gladden. the eyes of their lord with
their charms. Many world-famous
models take part in these scenes of
the dreamy Orient.-Advt

BAR HARBOR MAN KILLED.
Wife Sees Husband ElectrOcuted on
Power Wires.

Ernest Richardson of Bar Harbor
met his death on the high tension
wires there last Wednesday. The
accident occurred directly opposite
his home, and his wife witnessed
the terrible accident. For fully fif-
teen minutes, until word could be
telephoned to Ellsworth to shut off
the power at the station here, the
body lay across the wire burning.
Mr.. Richardson was about forty
five years old, native of Brewer,
but for twenty-five years had been
employed at the electric light sta
tion in Bar Harbor, now branch of
the Bar Harbor & Union River
Power Co, and supplied from the
station here.
Wednesday Mr.. Richardson was
engaged in painting the building.
working on the coping along the
front roof A cross-arm carrying
the high-tension wire from Ellis
worth is over the front entrance.
To paint this crossarm Mr., Rich
ardson attached a paint brush to
long bamboo pole, and started to
paint between the wires carrying
1900 volts. His knowledge OF
electricity must have warned him OF
the danger, but somehow his pole
touched one of the wires. Immedi-
ately he received shock and,
with a scream of pain, fell forward
upon the wires. Death must have
been instantaneous. The body was
terribly burned before the power
was shut off.
An alarm of fire brought the fire
department and a crowd to the
scene, but nothing could be done to
remove the body until the power
was shut Off.

DAYLIGHT SAVING.
Local Agricultural Organizations are
Against 1t.

-A~Ns~A
Against 1t.
At a recent meeting of the board of
trade of Ellsworth, the daylight-sav-
ing proposition was taken up for the
city, and committee was appointed
to petition to be used to influence
the city government in passing an
ordinance for notwithstanding time
in Ellsworth. There are two sides
to the daylight-saving question. In
the following l believe 1 express the
sentiment of the agricultural and
rural interests which | represent.
In the spring of 1917, when the
United States entered the war, the
daylight-saving proposition was Civ
en- birth. At that time it was wholly
patriotic measure, and all over the
country it was accepted as such. No
citizens of this country responded
more nobly than did the farmers
and residents of the rural sections,
in spite of the fact that it handicap
ped them to great extent,
When this measute was talked
over this year and was brought be-
fore the people, every farm organi-
zation in the country was opposed
to it. The national, State, county
and rural oranges and Farm Bureaus
were unanimously opposed, Every
organization composed of rural resi-
dents was opposed. The people all
over the country were opposed as
shown by the fact that only one state
in New England, Massachusetts.
adopted it, and none of us will have
to be told that Massachusetts is al
most wholly an industrial center.
But. citizens of Ellsworth, do you
consider Ellsworth an industrial cen
ter? Within the limits of the city
of Ellsworth we have three oranges
and four local branches of the Farm
Bureau, representing hundreds of
citizens, and they are against such a
proposition. Last winter, before the
matter was thought of in business
Ellsworth. the North Ellsworth
grange. with $50 members, unani-
mously adopted a resolution against
daylight-saving time.
If the State of Maine, as whole,
had daylight saving, we would ac-
cept it with good grace, but when
this is put up for Ellsworth, and we
know that the trains will run on
standard time, the postoffice service
will have to comply with the trains,
that the residents of the whole rural
sections, including every town in
Hancock county, will have standard
time. and that it is from these
sources that the business of Els
worth is derived, can any citizen Of
Ellsworth say that it will not COM
plicate matters to adopt daylight
saving time for this city?
There is no doubt that the people
advocating daylight saving see some
good in it for themselves. They are
business or professional men, and
would obtain an extra hour
of leisure at night. but taking into
consideration all our citizens, in
Guiding rural residents and residents
of other towns in the county which
bring business to us, do YOU Mr..
Citizen, think that it is wise plan
for the city to adopt daylight-sav-
ing?

OBITUARY.
EDWARD B. WYMAN

Edward B. Wyman, an esteemed
resident of Ellsworth and we'll
known throughout Hancock county
and the eastern section of Maine
which had been his territory for
many years as a travelling salesman,
died very suddenly Monday noon at
his home on Hancock street. Mr..
Wyman had been in i'll health sew
eral years, but with courage and
strength of will, he kept at his work.
He was about town Saturday and
Sunday, but retired earlier than us
ual Sunday night, and did not get
up Monday morning. About noon
he spoke to his daughter Marion,
inquiring what she was to give him
for dinner, and a few moments later
he dropped quietly away.
Mr.. Wyman was born at West
fremont January II, 1858, son of
the late Levi B. Wyman and wife.
He came to Ellsworth after his father
had been elected sheriff of the coun-
ty, and this city had ever since been
his home, though business had TAX
Ell him away much of the time. For
some years he was in the insurance
business, and later went with Slot
terbeck & Foss, the Portland whole
salers, as travelling salesman. For
the past sixteen years he had been
with Charles Haywood & Co., whole
sale grocers, of Bangor
Mr.. Wyman was an efficient sales
man, and had the confidence of his
employers and of his customers. He
had wide circle of friends through
out the State. He was d member of
Lejok lodge, |. o. o. F., and of the
Portland branch of the United Com
mercial Travellers.
Mr., Wyman's wife died eleven
years ago. He leaves two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Andrew Rollins of Brewer
and Miss Marion j. Wyman of Ellis
worth; three brothers, George B. of
North Conway, N. H., Levi of South
Pasadena. Cal. and John W. of Wal
than, Mass, and one sister, Mrs.
Harry E. Dearborn of Gohstown,
Mass.
The funeral was held at the home
on Hancock street this forenoon,
Reys. S. w. Sutton and G. T. Jones
officiating.

New Vocation for Women.

AS Corney Grain used to say, 1--WE all
come round, you come round, come
round" 1t was never imagined, In his
day, that the smart London clubs
would come round to having a woman
as secretary, but the Devonshire and
Green Room clubs have done so, and
the Savage threatens to follow suit.
1t Is pointed out, however that dur
ing the war men saw how extremely
comfortable woman could make a
club, and, as clubs become more and
more the homes of both men and
women, woman secretary seems to
supply the touch needed to make them
complete.

The services at the Methodist
church Sunday were a splendid clos
ing of one of its most successful
years. The pastor preached in the
morning from James 2-20, Faith
without works is dead In the eve
ming an hour was spent with some
of the old hymns and their authors.
The Offering of the day, which was
for benevolences, was about SIS.
The pastor, Rev. r. H. Moyle, left
Monday for the annual conference
being held at Guilford, bearing good
reports of the years work. The
church and property are free from
debt, and there is small balance
in the treasury of each organiza
tion. The ladies' aid society, un-
der the efficient leadership of Mrs.
William Pomroy, raised during the
year about $500. The Methodist
club, Miss Mollie Sargent, president,
has looked after the social interests,
at the same time bringing in a good
sum toward the current expenses.
The Golden Rule class, Mrs. Moyle
teacher, Miss Alvia Frazier, presi-
dent, has already shown that it can
be helper in the great work. In
cluded in the pastors report to con-
ference is the following:
