1t will be of interest to every red
blooded person in Ellsworth to know
that the city has decided on the loca-
ton for new high school building.
1t holds thirty-day bond fora deed
to the Wooster lot running between
State and Oak streets, containing
nearly five acres-an ideal spot for
school building and athletic
grounds. The purchase price is
$4,000 This amount must be raised
within the bonded time. Every man
and woman in Ellsworth should look
this proposition squarely in the face.
The city's finances won't allow
a large bond issue. Up to a certain
point, these funds must be raised by
popular subscription. You all know
how generously almost every one
gave last year. Nearly $1,000 was
realized last year.from the 1921 fair.
If it is possible to raise a like
amount this year. there seems to be
no question that we can start build
ing operations very soon.
The fair committee has given
great deal of time and energy to
make it possible for our people who
are interested in having proper
place for our youngsters to get an
education, which is due them, to-
carry this building project through
voluntarily, rather than being driven
by condemnation proceedings by the
State school authorities, which is
sure to come. If any one questions
that our old building will be con-
demned within twelve months, we
can show you the correspondence
from DR.. Thomas, State superin-
tendent of schools.
Now, the question is: Can we
raise the money to at least pay Tor
the lot in this way this week? so

pect whole-hearted support have been
very disappointing. However, there
is going to be an opportunity on Fri
day night for those who realize just
what our school conditions are, of
adding their bit, however large or
small. Those of you who subscribed
so literally last year may not feel
able to subscribe again this year If
you can, double last years amount
or, if you find it necessary, cut it in
half. Be assured that it will be ap-
preciated.
We need the SIS and $40 sub
scriptions to put this over. If you
are unable to give anything, won't
you give us your support by being
present Friday night at 8 o'clock?
There will be no disagreeable fea-
lures, no humiliating solicitation.
What you may give, give voluntarily
Let's make this one great big gath

with the sole purpose of carrying
this educational necessity through.
1t has been intimated that the
comparatively small attendance so
far is due to people having feeling
that they may be placed in an embar-
RAISING position by over-zealous So
Iicitation. There will be no appeal
to anyone during the week at the
fair other than Friday night. Don't
make yourself conspicuous by your

OBITUARY
MRS. EUGENIA f. WALKER.

MRS. EUGENlA n. WALhER
Saturday, April 20, within two
DAYS of attaining her eighty-second
birthday, Mrs. Eugenia Eaton
Walker lay peacefully among the
profusion of beautiful flowers. gifts
of her neighbors and friends, in the
parlor of the old Walker homestead
on Bridge hill, while in the presence
of a large gathering of people SIM
pie tribute to her memory, was given
by the Rev. G. T. Jones, OF the ELS
worth Unitarian church. All trace
of her recent great suffering had
passed from her face, its serene
peacefulness bearing out the eulogy OF
the speaker, who. from his few meet
ings with her, had appreciated, as
few. even of her very Oldest friends
could have done, the principal attrl-
butes of her character-her sense OF
love and justice in her religion, her
thought of death as natural con-
tinuance of life, and her loving kind
ness towards all with whom she
came in contact.
Mrs. Walker, who was daughter
Of Joseph and Harriet Hosmer Eaton
of Camden, came to, Ellsworth in
1874 as the bride of Austin B.
Walker, a prominent merchant OF
the city, and at once endeared her
self to close and lasting circle of
friends. Left in 1895 a widow with
three children, Harry, Burton and
Sophia, she lived her life thereafter
bravely for them. In the last two
years an invalid, she had been ten
derby and devotedly cared for by her
daughter, supplemented by the I'M
usual carefulness of her sons Be
tween Mrs Walker and the wives OF
her two sons, both Ellsworth girls,
Annie l.. Mcfarland and Carrie }.
Packard, there always existed the
warmest feeling of love and sympa-
thetic understanding, and no daugh-
tiers were ever more to their mothers
than they to her. This love was ex-
tended to the two granddaughters
Florence and Eugenia Walker, who
returned the affection warmly
Last Christmas, Mrs. Walker suf-
fered another great sorrow in the
death of her son Burton. Directly
after this, accompanied by her
daughter, she went to Medford,
Mass, to the home of her elder son.
Harry E. Walker, head of the history
department of the Medford high
school. In this home she found COM
parative happiness and contentment
until early in April, when she frac.
tured her hip, from the results OF
which she died in the early morning
of April a.
In her death Bridge hill has met
with a loss to which it can never be-
come quite reconciled. TO the
youngest child and to the Oldest
neighbor she had ever been the SYM
pathizing friend and genial COM
panion. 49,,
