Dexter is happy over a material
reduction in insurance rates, due to
improved fire apparatus. Ellsworth
has. from time to time. heard in
definite promises of a reduction in
rates if this or that Improvement
were made in the fire department.
We heard it when horses were pur-
chased years ago, and men were
hired for day and night duty at the
engine house: we heard it when the
first motor hose wagon was bought;
we heard it again when the new
combination motor truck and en-
CINE was bought last year. But, so
far, reduced rates have failed to
materialize Won't some of our
good insurance friends tell us just
what we need to get reduced rates?
If the property owners of Ellsworth
could have some definite promise of
reduced rates, we believe they would
not hesitate at the expense, which
would soon pay itself in lower in
surance Perhaps, if proper agita-
ton were made now, the new motor
truck would obtain for us reduced
rates on dwelling property, at least,
In the business section, the mer-
chants still have a great deal to
learn of the value of cleaning up.
Some do it, but some do not, and all
suffer from high insurance rates in
consequence of the delinquency of
a few,

TO TRAINING CAMP.
Hancock County will be We'll
Represented at DevenS.

! Hancock county will be well repre-
scented at the citizens military train
ing camp at Camp Devens, Mass,
next August, according to figures just
received from army headquarters at
Boston. Twenty-four boys from the
county have already been accepted,
and other applications have been for
warded but not reported.
Bar Harbor high school is leading
the county in candidates accepted,
with fourteen to it's credit. Ellsworth
high school has four candidates &C
cepted, and a fifth awaiting accept
ance, while others are being sent in
this week. Those already accepted
from the local high school are Will
liam Drummey, Robert Jordan, Paul
Patten and Clarence Spillane.
1t is still possible to apply for the
camp and be accepted, although the
first of April marked the end of allot-
ment by quota. AS long as there are
vacancies they will be filed from any
part OF New England Twentyeight
hundred boys will be ordered to
camp.
Ellsworth boys and young men
SnOulu avail themselves Oh the OPP
portunity of getting real vacation,
combined with a period of military
training that is invaluable to young
man, at absolutely no expense. Uncle
Sam pays transportation 10 and from
camp, furnishes subsistence, quar-
tiers, uniform, emergency medical or
dental treatment, and takes excellent
care of the boy while under the gov
ernment's control.
Any normal, healthy young man
between the ages of seventeen and
twentyfour is eligible to attend the
camp. Young men whose seven
teenth birthday comes between
August l and December 81, may APP
ply, but acceptance will be held up
until it is certain that the allotments
cannot be filed from those within the
regular age limit The sooner APP
plications are sent in, the more
chance there is of being allowed to
attend

The gag law still rules in the
American Legion. Now the charter
OF a san Francisco post has been
Withdrawn because it publicly an
nounced that it was against the

is that posts publicly announce that

"hurrah." but let them publicly an

bonus. and away goes their charter.
