HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS.

The Ellsworth high school boys
and girls teams met teams from Cas-
tine normal school at the high school
gymnasium last Friday evening.
These were the first games with out
of-town teams in the new gym. Both

game by the score of 25-1S, while the

L. Mclean, whose wife is a Hancock
county girl congratulate him on his
rec ection as mayor of Augusta. 1t
is d personal victory for Mr.. Mclean
in hat he, a democrat, was elected,
while republican aldermen and coun-
cilmen were elected in all except one
ward
Economy is the watchword hung
mp by President Coolidge for the new
4 DIN inistration, and he has set the
xample for other heads of depart
gnents by eschewing the special presi-
Dental train or car and travelling in

week. the estimated saving to the
government by the Presidents demo-
cratic mode of travelling is estimated
at $1,000.
81 Automobile legislation will un-
doubtedly occupy large place at
Augusta this winter. Rumors are in
the air as to many bills already pre-
pared or suggested. One of the most
important of these is a bill to pro-
vide that all applicants for drivers Ii
cense shall take a driving and men
tai test The present law permits
the secretary of state to make such
an examination. but it is not COM
pulsory, and no provision was made
foy its operation.
Bangor has again voted down the
daylight-saving plan. We have quite
lost track of the number of times this
has been done. In Mondays cleo
ton, three wards out of the seven,
voted III favor of daylight saving.
Now, to satisfy the daylight savers,
why not reduce this to smaller
units, and give them daylight saw
ing in those wards that voted in
favor of it? Just as consistent as to
have daylight saving in one town and
not in the adjoining towns. Perhaps
IN that way we shall get down to the
ultimate unit-the individual. Then,
If man wants daylight saving time,
he need not get all 'het up over it
in a special election. All he need
do is to set his own clock ahead an
hour, while his wife. perhaps, may
stick TO standard time, and lie abed
an hour longer.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
in his annual report, predicts years
of prosperous and healthy condi-

says, on the reputation, at the re-
