OBITUARY.

Eldusta, wife of John W. Staples,
died at her home in North Bend, near
Patterns pond, on June s. She had
been of uncertain health for some
time. but the end came suddenly, of
heart failure.
Mrs. Staples was born in West
Surry, siXty-seven years ago, and
lived there for some time. Twenty
years ago she came to live at the
present home, where she and her
husband worked faithfully to bring a
large farm to its present prosperous
condition. She would have been
married fifty years July 4 of this
year.
TWO daughters survive her, Mrs.
Minnie Mccarthy and Mrs. Pearl B.
Day, both of Ellsworth, who have
given her loving care in these later
years. Besides these, her husband, a
brother, sister, and step-father
remain to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Staples was a woman of
worthy character, faithful and low
ing wife, kind mother, and a graci-
Gus friend and neighbor. She had a
large circle of friends who feel genu-
inc sorrow at her passing.
Funeral services, which were at
tended by large number of friends,
were held at the home on Tuesday
afternoon, June 10, Rev. Clarence
Emery of Ellsworth officiating. The
many beautiful floral tributes bore
their silent testimony of respect and
love.

Weather of Prehistoric Past.

British scientists are nosing into the
weather of the prehistoric past. In
living people they find the widest noses
associated with hot moist climate and
the narrowest with cold dry climate.
The differences are also detachable in
skulls. Applying these findings to some
of the prehistoric European caveman
skulls, it has been discovered that
some of those which have been as
signed to period of cold climate must
have lived in warm period-if noses
can be followed

FOURTH OF JULY.
Big Time Planned for Ellsworth CeIe-
bratiOn.


The Fourth of July celebration
here will be the best ever seen in
Ellsworth. Everything is exceeding
the expectations of the several COM
mittees, and if the weather man will
be kind, the streets will be crowded
as they never were before.
Plans for the floral parade are all
arranged, and many have signified
their intention of entering. The
committee has arranged to have a
juvenile section and will offer suita-
BILE prize for the best children's dis
play.
The Masonic club of Ellsworth has
organized an excellent baseball team,
and will play against the Southwest
Harbor team, which has been organ
lied some time. This bids fair to be
a most interesting game, as the teams
should be evenly matched. The fire
works have arrived, and the commit
tee is worried for fear they will not
have time to use them all in the al
lotted time.
One of the most gratifying things
to the committee is the way the mer-
chants have responded by contribu-
tions.
The program for the day, so far
announced, is as follows.
MORNING
500 Band concerts
$50 Minor sports, Main and Water
streets. Events, 100-yard dash,
potato race, obstacle race, g.

test, sack race. Prizes of IS,

Origin Of Mule-Foot Hoos,

The mule-foot hog is very ancient
breed, probably natives of Africa. A
little less than two centuries ago, Lin.
naeous, the famous Swedish natural
list, classified them as distinct breed.
Darwin, in 1859, described them, and
mentioned that they were to be found
in Scotland. This breed became es-
tablished In America in 1908 by the
formation Of the National Mule-foot
hog association.

Defeat Of johnson and La
toilette Has Impressive
Effect.
hackers CONFIDENT
Coolidge Not Expected to
Show Much Strength
- In the West.
BY DAVID LAWRECNE

copyright by me san Antsnlo Light
Washington, ID. G., March a.
President Coolidge's victory in North
Dakota has had an impressive effect
on the campaign of the Chief Execu-
tive. Winning . primary in the hot
bed of radicalism, receiving plural
ity as against Senator LaFollette and
Senator Hiram johnson, convinces
the Coolidge managers that whatever
may be the trend of politics in other
Western states, the President has bet
ter than an even chance to achieve
the nomination with the backing Of
the soealled radical states.
The North Dakota situation has
been exciting interest for several
weeks because it has a double signif-
icance. Mr.. Colleges prestige was
at stake, of course, but something
even more far-reaching than that was
involved in the North Dakota vote.
, 1t 10 the recent tendency of North
Dakota to get back into the regular
Republican column and forsake the
NOn-Partisan league. The fight
against the league has been waged
with increasing success within the
last two years and the victory of Mr..
Coolidge emphasizes the extent to
which the regulars have made inrOads
upon their opponents.
Vote Would Be Important.
Should the forthcoming election be
thrown into the House OF Represen-
tatives for decision which would hap
pen IL no candidate received a ma
jority of the electoral votes.s North
Dakota's vote would be Of vital i'm
portance and might even swing the
election. For instance. the number
of Republican votes that would be
cast by state delegations would be %
as opposed to 81 Democratic votes
and five are tied. One states vote
would make a great deal of differ
ence, especially since the ballots Of
Minnesota and Wisconsin might be
cast for LaFollette.
North Dakota has been counted by
some as doubtful, but both Represen-
tatives Young and Burtness of
North Dakota are regular and since
there are three representatives from
North Dakota the vote would be cast
for Coolidge. There has been talk
of a resignation by Representative
Young to accept an appointment by
the President as member of the
board of appraisers in New York, and
il he resigned, there would have to be
q special election. Friends of the
President have not been sure that a
special election would result in their
favor, but the result Of the primary
has been encouraging. Whether the
change will be made is uncertain at
. this date, but the North Dakota pri-
mary may have a bearing on the de-
cision Of Representative Young
whether or not to resign.
McAdoo Beats Underwood.
The LaFollette vote in North Da-
kota Is significant. He made no
campaign. At the last moment his
name was put on the ballot. His
strength is therefore hardly indicat-
ed by the vote in the primaries. Farm
legislation, Of course will have much
to do with the LaFonette campaign
and an effort to win votes later on ny
a special appeal to the farmer might
meet with better response than it
did a few days ago when the issues
were not clear cut
A candidate from New England is
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-03-21

not expected to show strength in the
West, but Mr.. Coolidge's farmer
backing is undoubtedly helping him.
His triumph In North and South Da-
kota is counted as good beginning
by his managers.
The North Dakota Democrats vot-
ed solidly for McAdoo. although
there is factional fight in that state.
The Georgia result in which McAdoo
triumphed over Underwood will ne
made the basis for further excursions
by the former secretary of the treas
ury to southern territory. McAdoo
was born in the South so his friends
are using that as an offset to the
Underwood nativity argument. The
fight between these two able citizens
is really between radical and conser-
vative groups with McAdoo winning
the support Of the former and Un-
derwood the latter.
