roll call was answered by current
events. A treat was in store for the

BELFAST
Chamber of Commerce Visits
in Knox = Masonic Lodge
Room Done Over

The Belfast Chamber of Commerce
which has resumed its program of
visiting the smaller towns Of the
county, custom established a year
or two ago, enjoyed a delightful
gathering in the town of Knox,
Thursday night when fifty or more
motored to that village and arriving
cold and hungry after the drive in
the biting wind, were served such a
supper, they are still talking about
1t. The women Of Knox certainly
established reputation for them
selves for such cold chicken, such
hot vegetables, such delicious gravies,
pastries and delicacies, and such
quantities, everything piping hot.
Fifty hungry men did ample justice
to the repast and then sat back
with their cigars and listened to
some very able after dinner speeches.
President Ralph H. Howes, officiated
as toast master, and after express
ing his gratitude and delight at the
reception accorded, and praising the
cooks for the delicious repast, he in
troduced Rev. w. F. Skerrye, pastor
of the Belfast Federated church who
made a most interesting, entertaining
and logical talk which won the adj
miration of every man present. 9th
ers called upon were Morris l.. Slugg
and Bertrand l.. Davis, both former
presidents of the Chamber, who made
witty and interesting talks.
Dancing, with music by Mckeon
orchestra of Belfast, which accom-
panied the Chamber, was then en-
joyed and at il o'clock another sup
per was served. with apparently an
unlimited supply of good things 1t
will be a long time before the Bel
fast Chamber of Commerce forgets
it's visit to Knox. Next Wednesday
night a special steamer will take it
to Islesboro where the Board of Trade
Of that town will be hosts.

The Literary Digest is making a nat
ional poll on prohibition. 1t is stated
that the Digest has mailed out 10000
600 ballots inviting response to the
questions asked. There are three of
these questions under the head of pro-
hibition, and as supplemental vote
the recipients are requested to express
their views on the soldiers bonus Up
to the receipt Of the last copy OF the
Digest, dated July 20, 357 500 ballots
had been cast. OF that number those
in favor OF the strict enforcement of
the eighteenth amendment numbered
135, 1884 Those in favor of a modifi-
cation, permitting light wines and
beer 145,727 Those in favor of repeal
ing the amendment, 76.039. Those in
I favor of bonus, III, 4S6. Those oppos-
ed. 176,337. The vote already taken and
that that may yet be taken can hardly
express the views of the entire vot-
ing population of the country, but it
will give pretty fair idea of the drift
OF public opinion. Only compare
lively small number seem to be in ia
vor OF the repeal of the prohibition
amendment, but the combined vote in
favor Of modification and repeal is so
far greater than that in favor OF the
strict enforcement of the law that it
is apparent that the law is not alto
gether popular The surprise is on the
vote OF the soldiers bonus, as it would
appear that the public is not favoring
that measure to any overwhelming de-
gree. The purpose Of the Digest in TAX
ing the vote is rather vague 1t will
accomplish nothing further than MAX
ing 1t more difficult to enforce the law
as those ready to disregard the law
will feel that they have public senti-
ment on their side very largely.

IL one can place any reliance in the

ton and straight from the shoulder,
and his declaration that he will not be
tool at the beck and call of the
Hearst string Of papers has made him
a multitude of friends throughout the

ing no real opposition before the pri-
maries, and his nomination is an as
sured fact this far in advance of the
primary election. Every disgruntled
and radical individual and body of in

year, and in no summer for years has
there been so many fires, both de-
structive to forests and community
property. as so far during 1922. 1t
really looks as though people cannot
be educated up to exercising caution.
People will be careless with camp
fires, and with the coming OF the
automobile and consequent increase
of road travel, camp fires are used
more than ever before Men are GRIM

butts, one of the most common
sources of fire, and there is no way of
fastening guilt upon these careless
smokers 1t is great country that can

be eradicated if there is to be an an
