Current Events Club Meets

Current Events club met Wednes-
day afternoon with Mrs. Fred Lilly,
Academy street. In the absence of
the secretary the minutes OF the last
meeting were read by Miss Annie
Chase. Miss Chase also reported up
on the amount realized from the sale
of cooked food held Saturday. A
contribution from the treasury was
voted towards the World War monu-
ment, another for the public health
work in Maine. and third sum for
the Bangor home for unfortunate
young mothers.
The paper of the afternoon was
given by Miss Haskell. The subject
World Court Week, the topic was
timely, though chosen some time be-
fore. The paper gave the history,
origin, makeup, jurisdiction and
accomplishment of the Court, en-
phasizing the difference between this
court, whose legal title is the Per
manent Court of Justice, and the
earlier Permanent Court of Arbi-
tration," established at the conclu-
sion of the first Hague Conference in
1900. Some of the decisions of the
court were reviewed and the various
objections and their answers, as Civ

summarized.
The roll call and current events by
the various members followed. The
most interesting one was a letter
from Miss Harriet Louise Perry,
which described present conditions
in Toxic and the desolation that ex-
lists there. A map of the burned
area was submitted as illustration.
Miss Perry is doing relief work in
the city.
After the current events there was
a social hour. The hostess served
light refreshments Of tea, crakers
and fancy cookies. There was an
excellent attendance. During the So
cial hour Christmas cards that were
sent out from the General Fedora
ton were shown. The next meeting
will be Nov. 81 with Mrs. John NJ
Robinson. The paper on Australia"
will be given by Mrs. Frank S. Win

Red Cross Membership
Campaign To
Start ArmiStice Day

The Red Cross membership camp
paign is to start this year on Arm
istice Day and continue until
Thanksgiving In Hallowell. Mrs.
Rush w. D. Smith, Mrs. William T.
Quinn and Miss Frances Tilden are
sharing the work of planning an exc
cutting the campaign. They have d.
vided up the city into three fields of
work and will appoint helpers to
cover the territory.
Hallowell has done her work splen-
didly in previous Red Cross cam
paigns. and it Is expected that she
will do even better this year. The
Red Cross still has wide field for
work. Their service to the men Of
the World war makes it particularly
fitting that this campaign should
open on Armistice Day. For the Red
Cross did not stop with the war.
They are doing all kinds of things
for the veterans now. as they are
working for army and navy and
for relief in disasters. Hallowell will
want to do her full share and more
in this work.

Ants Have Sense Of Smell

Ants are said to be both blind and
gear. but none is known to be desti-
tute or the sense of smell. The OIL
factory organs are little sensory pits
IN the antennae. 1t is evidently by
means of their sense of smell that
ants recognize the members of their
own nest, and those of other species
which they treat as enemies.
However. certain species of ants
are evidently not deaf. because they
are capable of producing sounds
which must be heard by others of
their own kind. One specie has a
hle-like sound apparatus
on the abdominal segment Another
ant of this group is provided with a
STIMULATING organ Consisting of a
band of very fine raised lines on the
second segment behind the node.
Other ants tap on the surface OF
a leaf with their heads, producing a
sound audible to human ears, as
does another species by scraping the
end of its abdomen on the dry leaves
of its nest.-Detroit News

Mysterious Breaks
in Farmingdale
Cause CONSERVATION

There is considerable of a mystery
now going on on North street, Farm
ingdale. that is causing consterna-
ton in its neighborhood. The trou-
bile started Sunday night at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Wake
field, who live out about two miles.
They occupy what was formerly the
Preston Glidden place and have a
number OF children with them that
they are boarding. After retiring
Sunday night. it is claimed that
someone went into the cellar of the
house and there destroyed all the
them over the cellar bottom. On
Monday afternoon it was claimed
that rocks began to fly about the
buildings with the result that many
lights of glass were broken and the
children about the place were great
ly frightened. A close scrutiny of
the place brought no signs of any
persons in the vicinity and this was
easy, as there are no woods in the
Immediately vicinity. Affairs as
sumed such a condition that Sheriff
Cummings was appealed to and he
sent two of his deputies to the
house. They remained on duty for
the greater part of the night and as
nothing developed, they ceased their
vigil. On looking over the premises
in the morning it was found that
the cellar had been again entered
and The apples and other things in
the cellar had been thrown about
They left and later in the forenoon.
rocks began flying about again and
other windows were broken. During
the latter part of the afternoon two
of the children were hit by flying
rocks but not seriously injured For
a while the rock flying ceased but
during the latter part of the after
noon they began again and contin-
ued until the rain began to fall Dur
ing Tuesday night, another sheriff
was sent to the scene but all re-
manned quiet. In the morning. how
ever, it was found that one of the
cellar windows had been kicked in
and this time there were the prints
of mans foot seen in hte dirt
about it. Mr.. Wakefield has been
at his home during all the proceed
ings and the nervous strain both he
and Mrs. Wakefield are under is very
great. The case will probably be
probed to the bottom at once and it
is hoped that the mystery will be
cleared.
