OBITUARY.
LILA M. CLARK.

Friends in Ellsworth were shocked
last Wednesday evening by the sud
den death of Lila M. Clark, at the
home of her cousin, Miss j. A.
Thompson, at School and Park
streets. While she had not enjoyed
good health for years, she was ap-
parently feeling better than usual
on the day of her death, and in a
particularly happy mood. She made
several calls during the afternoon,
returning home just before o'clock.
Miss Thompson, entering the house
at o'clock, found her there, just
as she had come in from the street,
smile still on her face. Death
had come suddenly and painlessly,
and yet it never came to one better
prepared for the summons.
Lila M. Clark was born at st.
Mary's, Ca, December 90, 1867, a
daughter of Capt. Fred Clark. Her
father was brother of the late
Mrs. Amanda Thompson, who for so
many years made her home at the
Mt. Desert toll bridge. AS girl
and young woman she visited her
aunt here, and for the past six
years had made her home with her
Cousin The Sunny South, her
homeland, was dear to her, but she
had learned to love the North, too.
Hers was a beautiful life-purs
in heart and in mind, with a belief
in the eternal goodness of all things,
and a delight almost childlike in
the simple pleasures of life, Of ma
ture, and the love of friends. And
as friends she could count all who
knew her, her personality drawing
them to her instantly. She was a
devout and consistent member of
the Catholic church
OF her own family she leaves one
brother, Capt James Clark of Jekyl
Island, Ga, and two sisters, Mrs. A.
P. Murphy of Miami, Fla, and Mrs.
Florence Mann of Palm Beach, Fla.
To these, and to her cousin here to
whom her death was such a stunning
shock, the sympathy of many friends
is extended.
The funeral was held at st. Jo-
seph's Catholic church Friday morn.

Braved Wrath Of Hawaiian Gods.

Towing his camera in a tub, a rep
resentative of Bishop museum in Homo
lulu recently braved the threats hand
ed down from Hawaiian mythology,
crossed the 2OO-yard arm Of the sea
between the island Of Lanai and the
rock known as Puupehe island and
on an improvised scaffold mounted the
SO-foot cliff without being subjected
to the wrath of the gods Of yore. No
Hawaiian had scaled the walls for
probably more than hundred years,
and a white man never before. 1t
was the general belief that rocks
would be rolled down by an unseen
hand on any so presumptuOus to at
tempt to gain the summit, but this
miracle failed to materialize.

Southwest Harbor,

DOulHWCSt IlttIUOfs
The Odd Fellows of Southwest
Harbor have perfected plans for re-
building their hall, destroyed in the
big fire last March. Business men
of the town have co-operated with
the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs, and
the way now seems clear to finance
the undertaking. The new building
will be much the same as the one
burned, with stores on the street
floor, offices on the second floor and
lodge rooms on the third floor. Work
will begin at once, and it is hoped to
have the building completed in the
spring.
The many friends of Ezra G..
Mason will be deeply grieved to
learn of his death at the home of his
sister, Jennie M. Mason Saturday,
October IA, after a short illness. Mr..
Mason had spent the past year with
his granddaughter, Mrs. May Leland
Condor of Friendship, and came here
the last of September to spend the
winter with his sister. For week
or more he enjoyed his return but an
illness resulted in shock to the
brain that terminated fatally. The
skill of the physician and tender
care Of relatives failed to restore the
worn out vitality, although brief
flashes of reason gave anxious watch
ers hope of recovery. Ezra Colt
Mason was born April 10, 1916, and
was the second son of William T.
and Mercy j. Mason. He had lived
a beautiful life. One of the kindest,
most unselfish of men, he was be-
loved by all who were privileged to
know him. His noble character,
good will and Christian charity were
exemplified in every relation Of life.
He was faithful and true to his
church-fellowship and to the fra
ternal obligations of masonry. The
funeral was held at the home of his
sister, Monday, October Is. His
pastor, Rev. A. M. Macdonald, of the
Bar Harbor Congregational church,
gave a tender appreciation of the life
and unselfish service of this departed
friend and brother. Music and beau
tiful flowers bore silent witness to
the love of friends. Interment was
at Beechhill, beside the wife and son
who had gone before. The Masonic
service by Somesville lodge, of which
he had been a faithful brother for
many years, were held at the grave.
He is survived by two sisters, Jennie
Mason and Venia Hodgkins, one
brother William, granddaughter,
Mrs May Condor, and many other
relatives, who will ever hold in ten
der memory one who ever had a
bright and CHEEKY word and a glad
smile for both old and young.

The independent anthracite coal
operators, who have lacked prices
for coal at the mines to from $12
to STA a ton, are to meet with diff
culties in their efforts to line their
pockets at the expense of the public.
The national fuel director has
agreed with the Pennsylvania fuel
commission that 1925 ton at the
mine is a fair price for anthracite
coal, and the matter is not to stop
with the decision. Independent
operators who attempt to obtain a
higher price than that set will find
their car supply shut off by the gov
eminent, action that will compel
them to come to the determined price
or find themselves with their output
on their hands. The government
has the authority to regulate the
use of cars through the interstate
commerce commission, and while
such action may be rather drastic,
there will be no public sympathy
for independent operators bereft of
transportation facilities because of
unfair prices.

A friend of birds, in a communi-
cation elsewhere in this issue, sug-
gests a license on house cats. And
why not? The theory on which
dogs are taxed is that they destroy
sheep, and the dog owner must
therefore reimburse the State for
the money it pays for sheep killed
House cats destroy crops, indirectly,
to be sure, by destroying the birds
that protect crops. And surely
lovers of cats should be willing to
pay a modest license fee for their
pets. Farmers are rapidly awak-
ening to the economic value of the
birds. We recently heard of one
farmer who made a clean sweep of
the cats on his farm-four of them
and invested in rat traps and
mouse traps. The oranges have
taken up the discussion of the eco
nomic value of birds, and farmers
wives are studying methods of at
tracing birds about the farm. To
a close observer, it seems as if birds
have been scarcer than usual this
year. We hope the awakening of
the farmer has not come too late to
in some measure restore the balance
of nature. The law protecting gray
squirrels about residential sections
should also be repealed. In Ellis
worth the gray squirrels have be-
come real pest in the destruction
of birds and nests.

These two proposals. IL passed, would
prevent any school scheduling games
for its freshman teams and would bar
any college athlete from participating
in any kind OF base ball game at any
time during the year except his college
nine.
Sure to Meet Objection.
1t Is needless to say that these pro-
posals are going to meet with unquaIi-
fled opposition from the entire conserva-
tive element in the conference. The
abolition of freshman foot ball for
schools having the One-year rule would
place institutions in the South Atlantic
section in a very disadvantageous po-
sition. Without an opportunity to keep
nrSt-year men at work on the gr1diron.
foot bail would suffer a setback from
standpoint Of varsity material. 1t is
from the freshman elevens that varsity
material must be recruited.
1t may be argued that the freshman
squads could be kept intact and develop
teams, but without the incentive of a
few regular contests against other in
stitutions it would be difficult to keep
freshman on the field for consistent
practice. Another thing. there is moth
Ing which develops foot ball PLAYER
SO readily as participation in actual
games under strictly enforced rules.
Whether or not forbidding of base
ball of any kind would clarity the
summer base ball question is a ques-
ton. 1t is probable players. if they
cared to do SO. could just as well skip
of TO some remote section and per-
form under an assumed name for pay
il the sport were forbidden. just as
much as they do now. AS long as base
ball continues as the popular game
it now is. colleges are going to be con-
fronted with the summer base ball ques-
tion. and. try as they will. they cannot
avoid it.
Another Of the important matters due
to come up will be the status of teams
not members Of the conference. 1t is
not secret that some of the confer
ence elevens believe that Virginia Mill
tary Institute should be forced to live
up to more strict eligibility rules: that
Center College also should enforce a
code in keeping with the conference
code. 1t seems that the conference in
tends to lay down certain regulati tions
in keeping with its own and not allow
any Of its members to play any school
which does not follow that code This
seems to be little too much of a
dominating policy. There is sentiment
against it. and just what concrete re-
suit will be achieved by a discussion
concerning it is very doubtful
