His Position

AS was driving home from town a
spell ago" related Gap Johnson of
Rumpus Ridge, Il seed Hamp Shredder
come boogling out OF the front door
of his house fully dressed, except that
he didn't have his bIitches on"
"IIow in the name of wonder did he
happen to be in THAI fX?' interestedly
asked Mrs. johnson.
Il don't know, Pr0b'ly he didn't
want 'em on, or hadn't time to put
EN- on, or something. | never was
the kind of q man to be messing into
another gents affairs, If he didn't
have 'em on for any reason, that
was his business. And, anyhow,
l had Jig Fiddlin in the wagon with
me, and we were sorter talking boss

The clock fund still grows, but
subscriptions the past week fell a
little short of carrying the fund over
the 5000 mark. We are still hearing
from many out-of-toWn friends,
whose letters and subscriptions carry
with them something more than just
money for the clock. They express
the love of these former residents for
the old-home town, and each name is
a message to some one in Ellsworth
or elsewhere to whom it suggests
pleasant memories.
The complete list of previous con-
tributors printed from week to week,
is interesting reading.
In a subscription received from
Mrs C. H. Grindal and her daugh-
ters, Mrs. A. O. Saunders and Mrs. ID.
A. McRae, of Minneapolis, in memory
of c. II. Grindal, they say: I'VE
know, if Mr.. Grindal were living, he
would be one of the first to give
something toward a new clock for
our home city" Everyone who
knew Mr.. Grindal can endorse that.

Last Friday was a big day for the
boys and girls agricultural clubs of
Hancock county, when they held
their annual contest in Ellsworth. 1t
was an especially big day for Leo
Staples, a senior club member from
South Penobscot, who made a new
State record by carrying off four
county championships. These boys
and girls and their leaders are doing
a splendid work, and are deserving
OF the support and announcement
given by the banks of the county the
board of trade of Ellsworth and the
adults OF the Farm Bureau. The
future of Hancock county is largely
in the hands of these boys and girls

TRUSSED FOX IN HAY SHEAF
New Zealand Farmer Reports Occur
renee Which in Many Respects
Is Remarkable.

A New Zealand farmer in Pinlier-
tons Plains reports the unique feat of
trussng fox in Il sheaf of hay. The
farmer was working his binder in a
heavy crop, and was frequently in
difficulties owing to the density of the
cut He therefore did not take much
notice Of n severe humping and iolting
of the machine. until he saw some
thing dark pass under his feet going
through the machine The difficulty
cleared itself and the binder went
smoothly, but the farmer thinking
over the matter, thought he had caught
a rabbit, and got down to investigate.
He found that the machine was all
right, but on the apron were splaShes
of blood which caused him to go back
to some sheaves that had been thrown
off the carrier. To his surprise he
found fox. securely trussed up in the
hay, the binder Irvine encirclng the
sheaf. The animal had both hind legs
off, one close up to the thigh. where
the knives had caught 1t, presumably
asleep in the crop.

RACING At BLUEHiLL.
Beautiful Weather, but Attendance
Was Disappointing.

The trotting at Bluehill on Friday
afternoon, under the auspices of the
Hancock County Fair association of
Ellsworth, furnished fair sport, but
the attendance was disappointingly
small considering the perfect
weather
There were two races on the card,
with five starters in each. Incident
ally a full second was clipped off the
track race record, reducing it to
2.15. This was done by Nativa
North in the second heat of the free
for-all class Dr.. Bliss, driving his
own horse, with the heat well up his
sleeve, went out for the track record
and almost distanced the entire field.
Following this, Parker Saunders
with Don McKennon, went an eX-
hibition mile, and Bluehill race fans,
knowing the rivalry between the
owners of Nativa and McKennon,
scented fun. But the Parker gelding
came a quarter second short of the
new record, turning the mile in
2.15H DR.. Bliss, in the final heat,
made another drive, but this time
just equalled the McKennon mile.
Following is summary of the
races:

in mining in Idaho county. They are
seriously concerned with the wonder
full showings made in various prop
critics. They plan to acquire these
properties which have long lain dor
mant and operate them by modern
mining methods, which means on
big scale.
AT the very dooryard of Grange
vile are properties on which large
operators have long been focusing
their eyes, and their interest in
these mines has now passed
the stage where 1t may be described
as merely passive. They are expected
to soon become active in mineral
production in Idaho county.
These concerns, ever eager to take
hold of an enterprise of merit, are
reported as ready to proceed with
operations in manner that will
startle the people of Idaho county.
and from these hills wealth will soon
be rolling forth, The development
planned will mean payroll of no
small proportions something that
has been lacking in central Idaho
great improvements In the way OF
installation of modern mining
machinery, and possible railroad
construction.
Idaho county people for the most
part have all through the dormant
years in mining. not lost hope that
the county would again become a
great mineral producer, and from re
cent developments it is believed that
their hopes will soon be realized.
Idaho county's latent resources arc
too great to always lie dormant yet
the individual prospector's resources
are too limited to permit him to mine
on scale which many OF these
properties require We should wei
come the advent into Idaho county of
big mining companies, with their al
most unlimited capital and should CO.
operate with them in every possible
way.

OUT OF THE MUD

The city councils plan for surfac
ing with crushed rock twenty-four
blocks of streets in Grangeville, and
for which a special election is called
for July "A, to authorize bond issue
of $4,000 for the purpose OF finan-
cling the improvement, is move that
should meet with the support of all
the people in Grangeville.
At a minimum of cost, which will
not affect the average taxpayer more
than dollar a year, taking as
basis the average residence property
i'm Grangeville, the council proposes
to lift travel in Grangeville out OF
the mud.
That the streets which have not
been surfaced, and on which there
is heavy traffic, are deep with mud
for part of the year. is fact too
well known by people who use the
streets.
Idaho avenue. surfaced two years
ago, and Main street from Idaho ave-
nue. west to connect with the North
and South highway. surfaced last year
are outstanding examples of the relief
that macadam surfacing affords tne
public. The proposition as set forth
by the council is of such great I'M
portance to the municipality, and the
cost is too negligible for any Taxpayer
to oppose the improvement program
which, if it fails to carry, VIII leave
GrangevilIe wallowing in the mud.

Animal Dresses One
New Season Feature

This year the animal dresses are the
sensation OF the season, according to q
fashion writer In the New York Trib-
une. An artist has been called In who
has designed all kinds Of intriguing
and amusing little beasts that are ap-
piiQued onto simple chemise dresses
with the finest sewing imaginable.
Elephants, tigers. panthers and other
denizens Of the jungles come into be-
Ing In crepe de chine to bring new
note into fashion.
All Paris is talking about these won
derful dresses, and the smartest women
are ordering them quickly, for here ut
last Is something new that does not In
any way interfere with the slim line
that they really cannot bear to part
with.
An exquisite variation OF this type
OF dress might almost be called "A
Midsummer Nights Dream" 1t Is I'm
pale gray-blue crepe de chine, with
waved yoke and deep knee hem OK
palest silver gray that Is almost white,
looking like the billowy white clouds
that float across a summer sky. The
waist-lne is appliqued with uneven
scallops OF tender pale green, repre-
senting willow trees, and above and be-
low are tall, slender, dark green poplar
trees. The dress looks like an artists
conception Of tree-bordered lake with
q reflection In the water. The top Of
the dress is continued into long six
inch-wfda. ends that tie In loose bows
over the arms to take the place Of
sleeves.
Printed materials form very large
proportion Of the day dresses. There
are odd pointilliste designs and old
Fashioned flower patterns. Colonial In.
SEPARATIONS and the quaint conventional
small hower-blurred designs that our
mothers loved.
Most Of these dresses are made
either with long dropping bow on one
shoulder and another at one side Of the
waist or else with small bow at tbs
back Of the neck and a second on the
hips. The back bow, leaning toward
the hustle effect. Is very much favored
in this collection.
