THREE COMMON JELL TESTS.

/, The practical home test known
as the spoon or paddle test. Test is
made by dipping spoon or paddle into
hot product and raising it into cool
or cold air; if it drops liquid in slow,
heavy drops, it is nearly jelled. If it
drops in slow, liquid sheets, it is
jelled just right
2. The Alcohol Test. Use one
tablespoonful of alcohol with equal
amount of cooked juice If pectin is
present in sufficient quantity, it will
collect in a solid mass.
3. EPSON Salts Test. Use one
teaspoonful fruit juice, one-half tea
spoonful sugar, one-fourth teaspoon
full EPSON salts. Stir until all dis
solved and let stand for fifteen min
utes. If mass sets into jellied mass
in this time, then you know there is
enough pectin for jell making.

500 SIT 1869

In Hancock county there are now
twenty-four communities in which
the women are organized and ready
to take an active part in extension
service work. Work was carried on
in twenty-three of these communities
last year, and plans have already
been made to include Penobscot,
which has just been organized, in the
schedule for next year.
The program of work proposed at
the executive committee meeting on
September 10 includes many inter
esting features. Under clothing, we
are to have such subjects as correct
posture, correct footwear, correct
corsetry, adaptation of patterns, Sc
lection of clothing, garment making
and sewing kits.
The foods project also has it's
share of interesting meetings. Among
these we have the school lunch box,
food preservation, yeast and dark
breads, salads, family meal planning,
community meal planning, one dish
meals, food preservation budgets,
fruits and vegetables and good bud
getting.
The household management d.
vision has it's household account
books, the home conveniences, and
is also offering some work on refin-
ishing furniture.
Does this not sound as if we had
many interesting meetings in our
next years work?

ment of Agriculture, recently defined

DEBATING CLUB.

A debating club was formed on
Monday, Oct 20, by the students of
Ellsworth high school. This was
limited to the junior and senior
classes and twenty-one students
Joined. They elected as president,
Robert Jordan; as vice-president,
Redman Moore; as secretary, Cath
crime Osgood, and as treasurer, Inez
Garland.
The purpose of this club is to get
a team ready to enter the Bates In
terscholastic Debating League. ELS
worth is to be in a triangle, probably
with Bangor and Bar Harbor. The
team to be picked is to consist of
four members; two on the affirma-
tive and two on the negative The
question to be debated is Resolved:
That the United States should recog-
nize the present government of
Russia
1t is probable that the four that
will be picked for the debate will win
extra points towards graduation.
Each member of the club that does
good work all the year, preparing the
work regularly, will receive one point
credit.

Ellsworth high school has no
doubt one of the best-lighted build
ings in the State. Years back, in the
old building, when cloudy day
came along it was necessary to turn
on the lights; that is, as many as
there were to turn on. Most of the
time, half of the lights wouldn't work
at all, and when they were on there
was a glare of bright light shining
in such an angle that it would tend
to hurt the students eyes. They were
very poor lights indeed, and the win
dows being high and under shade
made from the piazza form built
around the schoolhouse, made it very
dark. Many of the students suffered
from bad eyes. But in the new
building there is sufficient light. The
walls are pure white, which tends to
help in the lighting, and the lights
are of the best kind that really make
artificial lights nearly like daylight,
Hereafter there should not be as
many cases of bad eyes at e. H. S.

LABOR PARTIES
IN AUSTRALIA
WIN VICTORIES
Only Two States Have
Anti-Labor Cabinets
BY W. FRANCIS AAERN.

Federated Press staff Correspondent.
SYDNEY, N. S. W.-Both state and
municipal elections in Australia re-
veal a political landslide for the La
Dor parties. The setback at the bal
lotbox during and after the world
war, in which the reactionaries capi-
talized labor's opposition to conscrip-
ton, has subsidized.
Queensland, South Australia, West
ern Australia and Tasmania are now
governed by Labor party cabinets.
The entire capitol city Of Brisbane
and its suburbs in Queensland are
under Labor municipal rule, as are
many other towns. A Labor govern
ment for the commonwealth Of Aus
tralia is not improbable in 1925.
Only two states are now antilabor.
Victoria is not expected to change,
but the elections in New South Wales,
tho still distant, will probably favor
the Labor party.
The swing over to Labor Is due in
large part to the broken promises OF
the reactionaries in power. They
promised "a new world for the work
ers'' after the war. The new world
came but it consisted of lower wages,
longer hours, higher living costs. I'M
checked profteering by bankers and
employers, unrestricted floods Of i'm
migration and a militarist foreign
policy.
Queensland has been Labor state
almost 10 years. It's workers are
more loyalty radical than elsewhere
in Australia. The cost of living is
lower and state protection of labor
is greater. Tasmania went Labor the
end of 1923. Western Australia came
into the fold March % with &c Labor
seats as against "a for all other par
ties. Previously Labor had 16 seats.
South Australia turned out the reac-
tionaries April 5. giving Labor ~
seats to 10 for all others. The pre-
vious South Australian total of Labor
seats was Is.
The South Australian crash was
similar to the others. The reaction
aries in addition to their customary
anti-labor practices had sent railway
equipment and repair orders to for
eign makers while the home shops
were laying off men, had advocated
importation of colored labor and had
monkeyed dangerously with public
finance.
Australia may now again become
the undisputed leader of the world in
improved conditions for labor.

the same end: the further enslave-
vent of the minds of the future work
ers of this country.
Turnout the whole of the United
States the daily newspapers, with but
few exceptions, proclaimed the purpose
of Boys Week to be the one week
of the year during which the inter-
ests of the boys of this country are
carefully considered and special
stress laid upon the welfare and train
ing of the future citizens" Of this
Land of Milk and Honey"
The vast majority of the popula-
ton Of the United States are work
ers; and by far the great majority of
the boys and girls of this country are
the sons and daughters Of workers
boys and girls who, in the very near
future, will be compelled to go to
work to earn their livings.
The iron fist of Imperialism rules
this country. Any attempt on the part
of the workers to better their condi-
tions is suppressed most ruthlessly.
A small number of wealthy owners
heavy industrialists and financiers
rule the United States today; and
this small group of men, albeit en-
riched by the sweat and blood of the
workers, holds practically an undis-
puted sway over this land-the rich
est country on the face OF the globe.
And the workers of America are the
most ruthlessly exploited class OF
workers in any country.
Within the boundaries OF the

quent unemployment and hardships

forced to leave the land during the
last year:-the coming depression
promises little better for the present

Despite these conditions, the future
workers Of this country are steadily
being doped with the opium OF this
rotten system. In the schools OF this
country, the boys and girls OF the
workers are being chloroformed
with the lies upon which the struc.
ture OF the present order rests. Wars,
which kill millions OF the worlds
