HOT NOON LUNCHES.
West Side School is Trying Out the
Plan

new idea is being tested and car
ried out at the West Side school, and
is meeting with great success and ap-
prevail from parents and pupils.
Under the supervision of Miss Jordan
and Mrs. Garland, and assisted by the
pupils, hot lunches are being served
to those pupils who are obliged, by
distance from their homes to bring
their dinners. Each pupil who
shares in the dinner is allotted a GER
tain portion of the dinner to bring.
The meals are prepared by the
pupils and teachers before school
and at recess They are cooked on
the assistant teachers stove, and
served piping hot when the noon
hour comes.
In the two weeks this has been
done, 125 meals have been served.
Each days dinner consists of some
hearty nourishing dish and hot cocoa.
Following is the menu of hearty
dishes served the past two weeks:
First week-Monday, corn chow
der; Tuesday, stewed peas; WedDes-
day. mashed potatoes, boiled maca-
roni; Thursday, vegetable soup with
dumplings; Friday boiled potatoes,
stewed beef with dumplings, cake
with chocolate sauce.
Second week-Monday, tomato
soup, fried potatoes; Tuesday,
mashed potatoes, roast pork (do-
+ mated by Mrs. Henry Woods i,
pickles, pudding with sauce; We'd
nesday, vegetable soup with dump
lings; Thursday, frankfurts, mashed
potatoes, chocolate pudding; Friday,
pork stew with rice, cream, birthday
cake for Henry Smith.
! Cocoa was served every day in adj
dition to the above.
The teachers are pleased with the
J cooperation of the parents and
friends Several very acceptable do
nations have been received, among
them milk, Miss Mary Gaynor; bag
of potatoes and vegetables, Mrs. Axel
Eliason roast of pork, Mrs. Henry
Woods; two cans of tomato soup,
Mrs. Gardiner Milliken; quart of
milk daily, Mrs Sidney Goodwin.
Any donations of vegetables or milk
would be very gratefully received.
The benefits from hot lunches are
already Noticeable. The children are
better equipped for their afternoon S
work, eat lighter suppers and feel
much better in all ways.

FOOD FAIR PLANS.
Orchestra Engaged-Committe on
Booths Reports Progress.

Booths Reports Progress.
The food fair and carnival to be
held by the Hancock County Fair
Association February 1928, in
elusive, is stimulating more than the
usual amount of interest. The music
committee has engaged the services
of the Babe Harrington singing or
chestra of Waterville, considered one
of the best in the State, and a great
feature in itself.
The committee on booths reports
progress, and there will be on ex-
hibition all the latest electrical me-
chanical appliances, also the latest
Improvements in radio equipment.
The poster contest is being re-
ceived with interest, the COM
mittee having more out-of-town than
in town inquiries. There should be
at least fifty posters submitted from
the schools of Ellsworth. 1t is hoped
the teachers will encourage pupils to
be interested in civic affairs and work
together towards the success of them.
The poster contest is in that line.
The committee on premiums is
contemplating a voting contest, and
will give a season ticket to the food
fair to the person suggesting the best
plan for a voting contest, games of
skill, guessing games, or any other
feature which may be adopted at the
fair. Any one submitting suf-
ficiently good feature will be pre-
scented with a single evening admis-
sion. These must be submitted in
writing to some member of the as
ISOLATION.

Three hundred motor cars were
registered in the United States in
1895. In 1925, thirty years after
the number will be in excess of
16 600, 900.
This is not a prophecy but a con-
tinuation of a table of registrations.
In the ten years from 1913 to date,
the table of motor car registrations
in hundred thousands reads as fol-
lows: 70, IT, "a, 35, 81, 81, 10, 81,
1914, 1928.
1t is hardly prophecy to say that
the next two years will show figures
of 140 and 100 hundred thousand, or
100000 and 1 100000 cars reg
istered
1t is inevitable that these cars have
more and more good roads to run
upon. If this number of wheeled We
hicles congest our few hundred thou
sand miles of good roads. it is OBJ
vious that a greater number will
compel more and more hard-surface
highways.
Opposition to good roads comes
from two sources; the ignorance of
taxpayers, who think that the bond
issue or the road tax represents out
go, instead of the means of increased
income, and politicians, who desire
pork barrel" national legislation in
order to get votes, rather than
money to be spent upon roads
Both classes of opposition are
slowly but surely being steam
rollered out of existence, with the
automobile in the role of steam
roller.
How many cars in 1885?
