RUNAWAY BALLOON.
ESCAPED from New Jersey, and Came
10 Hancock County.

ESCAPED from New Jersey, and Came
10 Hancock County.
The big government observation
balloon, valued at $4,000, that broke
from its mooring in New Jersey last
Thursday, landed early Friday after
noon in Hancock county. The Pond
island on which the balloon landed
is a small island north of Swans Is
Land, and a part of that town. Our
Swans Island correspondent tells OF
its landing as follows:
Swans Island, July Is (special) -
AT 1890 this noon, a large observa-
tion balloon, sausage shape, was seen
by Gardner Lawson coming from the
direction of Isle au Haut northeast
toward Opechee island. The balloon
was uncontrolled, dragging mile or
more of cable When it reached the
vicinity of Opechee, at the Gauntlet,
Mr.. Lawson and his crew, who were
working there on their weirs, had to
make great haste to escape from the
path of the balloon and its cables,
and just barely escaped.
The balloon sagged heavily by the
stern and touched land and water in
several places, and blew across Pond
island AS it reached the eastern
side of the island, it was snubbed by
the dragging cable, and brought up,
smashed into the trees on eastern
point of the island, and was
destroyed.
A wicker car or basket about six
feet across was below the balloon,
and in it were observation instru
ments and sandbags, and a ladder
was hanging over the side, also lot
of rigging During its course it
dragged across three weirs near
Opechee, and pulled up and broke off
trees on Pond island. some of them
over a foot in diameter.
Mr.. Lawson saved the instruments
in the car. The envelope of the bal
loon was apparently painted with
paint The sandbags in
the car, stamped U. S. Navy, identi-
fed it as a government balloon.
Z. S. custome office at Southwest
Harbor was notified by cable.

The words of the song that will be
heard all over the United States in
the presidential campaign this year
are as follows:
In a quaint New England farmhouse on
an early summers day
a farmers boy became our chief in a
homely, simple way,
With neither pomp nor pageantry he
firmly met the task,
To keep him on that job of his is all the
people ask,
So, Keep cool and keep Coolidge" is
the slogan of to-day,
keep cool and keep Coolidge" for the
good old L. s. A.
A lot of politicians cannot do thing
but knock.
But Calvin Coolidge is man of action
and not talk;
So just Keep cool and keep Coolidge"
in the White House four years
more,
We have a chance to do it in this year
of 'twenty-four.
He's been tried, he's never wanting, he
is giving of his best.
Keep cool and keep Coolidge" is our
country's mighty test

The "saturation point in the auto
mobile industry is much discussed,
with opinions differing as to how far
distant it may be. Upon the 'satura-
ton roint' in auto driving there is
less dispute. The Automobile Legal
Association says it is reached when
the driver takes the first drink, 1t
reminds us of the testimony once
given by a famous medical authority
in a celebrated criminal case in New
York. He wa asked where he drew
the line between a man who was
sober and one who was intoxicated.
He replied, "IntoXication begins
within three minutes after the first
drink is taken"

Maine democrats are attempting to
make political capital of the miX-up
in the republican primaries, and the
uncertainty, as yet, whom the re-
publican candidate for governor will
be But Maine democrats, it must be
remembered, are largely responsible
for the situation, for with no contests
of their own, they voted largely in
the republican primaries for the sole
purpose of advancing interests Of
their own candidates in September.
Moreover, the wards in Lewiston and
in Portland in which there is evil
dence of deliberate violation of the
election laws by ballot-boX stuffing,
are democratic wards, with demo-
cratic election officers in control.
There has been no intimation that
either of the republican candidates
for the nomination of governor was
a party to or had any knowledge Of
election law violations We advice
our good democratic friends to put
on the soft pedal when talking of the
primary situation.

There are more than fifty grange
masters in the United States this year
under twenty-one years of age, and
at least three were installed in
January who had not yet reached
their seventeenth birthday In con-
trast to these young grange leaders
is the fact that there are more than a

have passed the eighty year mark.

last week to careless automobile
driving in Ellsworth. Specific in
stances of this have been related to
us. These cases range from at
tempts to beat trains at railroad
crossings. to simple infractions of the
car "a the right traffic law, and
run the whole gamut, from speeding
and reckless turning of blind corners,
to improper headlights and no lights,
In some cases. names have been
mentioned. We are not going to re

that the State highway police might
