Fair Next Summer.
Ellsworth's food fair started off
Monday with a bang, The attend
ance on the opening days has exceed
ed the expectations of the Hancock
County Fair Association, which is
running the fair, and seems to assure
good fund for the improvements
at Wyman park necessary for big
outdoor fair next summer. The
group of young Ellsworth business
men who are behind the fair is a
group of real workers, cooperative
workers 1t is the kind of work that
puts over successfully any effort.
The cooked food booth is one of
the features of the fair The ladies
of Ellsworth have responded most
generously to solicitation for this
booth, and the association deeply APP
preciates it. The list of names to
which the cards inviting contribu-
lions of food were sent, was made
from memory, and some may have
been missed. That none may feel
sighted. all who did not receive the
cards are invited to make their con-
tribution for Saturdays sale.
The booth of Milliken, Tomlinson
Co. is very attractive. Ellsworth is
fortunate to have branch of this big
wholesale house in the city.
The display of electrical house
hold appliances by the Bar Harbor e
Union River Power Co. holds the in
terest of the women visitors to the
fair. 1t is attractiyely arranged and
very complete
The Morang- Co, Inc, has
a unique display of Ford parts, tools
and sundries, and judging by the
attention it receives, Ford owners
still predominant.
The international Harvester Co,
L. f. Treadwell local agent, has a
booth of special interest to farmers
and farmers wives. showing the
Primrose cream separator as a
feature. The display of lightning
rods would certainly afford pro
lection for the fair in case of
thunder shower.
The Thorsen Farms Products Co.
has a most attractive booth. Here
the already famous Thorsen Farms
ice-cream, the product of ELS
worth's newest manufacturing in
dustry, is dispensed. The display

a good display of electrical ranges,
washing machines, and other ap-
planes.
The Franklin Street Garage has
booth displaying the DeForest radio,
for which it is agent, and it is the
center of much interest.

the Indian Princess, and crowds
watch her in fascination as she deity
weaves the pretty baskets, which are
sold at reasonable prices,
The Maran Co booth, toilet
articles, is presided over by Miss
Daigle, an old friend of the Ellis
worth food fair, who is demonstrate
ing some of her own products.
Miss Harrington's orchestra adds
much to the fair. The prevailing
opinion seems to be that the music
excels that of any previous fair in
Ellsworth. The dancers, especially,
are pleased with it, and as a singing
orchestra it makes hit with all.
The evening attendance has been
large, and dancing general, To-mor-
row evening there will be leap year
ball. Dance tickets for ladies, SO
cents; gentlemen may dance free
with ladies having tickets.
Little Miss Fogg, a five-year-old
pupil of Mrs. Odiorne, whose dane
ing has been the sensation of Bangor,
will give an exhibition dance on the
afternoon of Washington's birthday
Friday, On this day also the prize
posters will be displayed, and the
prize awarded by Mayor Foster.
The special program for the after
noon, and the Washington's birth
day ball in the evening, should make
Friday a big day at the fair. The
committee is holding back some sur
prises for the evening.
Saturday will be a big wind-up
day, with full programs for after
noon and evening.
