The voters of Maine have over
whelmingly endorsed the three
propositions submitted to them at the
special election Monday. The Bath
bridge and Passamaquoddy bay
power projects were carried by a
vote of more than ten to one, and
the increased highway bond issue by
a vote of eight to one. The vote on
these three projects, broadcasted by
the daily press, is the best bit of
advertising Maine has sent out in the
new boost Maine campaign. 1t is
notice to the world at large that
Maine is on the forward march.
Ex-Governor Baxter seems de-
sirous of prolonging the unseemly
discussion of State finances with
Governor Brewster and State Auditor
Hayford, all for the purpose, so far
as can be seen, OF self-laudation and
justification of his dead-and-gone
administration. State finances, it Is
true, are a vital interest to every
person in the State, but in this in
stance no issue is involved other than
that of who's right and who's
wrong" And the only people inter-
ested besides those directly con-
cerned in the controversy are the
morbidly inclined who enjoy watch
ing a scrap and applaud dog fight.

Leatrice Joy Back.

From tom-boy errand girl to CAIN,
dignifed French woman is the transl-
ton of character made by Leatrlce
Joy in the Paramount picture, "Ihe
Dressmaker from Paris coming
next Monday to the Dirigo theatre.
In the picture, the transition is
the result of many years of hard
work and study, during which the
girl rises from little French midi
nette to one of the most prominent
gown designers in Paris, but the
change was made in less than one
hour by Miss Joy during the filming
of the production.
In the early part of the story Miss
JOY appears as a pert, chic errand
girl in a Paris gown shop. Later
the scene of the story transfers to
America, and she is shown as a young
woman of different mlen al
together.-Advt.

MUNICIPAL COURT.
Judge Crabtree Establishing Record
| as Terror to Offenders.

The past week has been a busy
one in the Ellsworth municipal court.
In addition to an interesting trespass
case from Mariaville, many criminal
matters were before the court.
Judge Crabtree is rapidly establish
ing a reputation as terror to OF
tenders of the law, especially 1or
reckless or drunken automobile drlv-
ers. Following is the court record
for the week:
Horace Disson of Mt. Desert, reck-
less driving. Adjudged guilty. Fine
of $25 and costs paid.
Malcolm Graves of Mt. Desert,
reckless driving. Adjudged guilty.
Fine of $25 and costs paid.
Basil Allen of Belfast, operating
car while intoxicted. Adjudged
guilty. Sentence, fine of $500 and
costs, and in default Of payment, 10
days in Jail. Paid.
Bernard Lynch Of Seal Harbor,
charged with assault upon an officer.
Adjudged guilty. Fine of IS and
costs paid.
Lamont Yeaton of Seal Harbor,
single sale of intoxicating liquor.
Adjudged guilty. Sentence, fine of
500 and costs and three months in
jail, and in default of fine, two
months additional imprisonment.
Appealed.
Herbert L. Herrick of Bluehill,
operating a car while intoxicated.
Adjudged guilty. Sentence, fine of
500 and costs and ten days in jail,
and thirty days additional imprison-
ment in defalt of fine. Committed
to Jail.
The trespass case was a criminal
action for trespass against Irving
Carter of Mariaville, on complaint of
DR.. c. c. Morrison of Ber Harbor.
The case involved ownership to
strip of land in Mariaville, formerly
town road, discontinued by the
county commissioners because of the
building of the new storage dam.
Title to the land over which the road
ran reverted to DR.. Morrison. The
town contested the discontinuance of
the road in the courts, and appealed
from the decision Of the county COM
missiOners. The case was carried to
the law court, but was never argued
there, and was finally dismissed.
There has been a belief among some
residents of Mariaville, however, that
the road was never legally discontin-
ued, and that DR.. Morrison had no
right to close it. The action against
Carter was brought as test case,
but failed because, while the evil
dence established DR.. Morrison's
title to the land, it developed that
permission had been given the re-
spondent to enter upon the land by
the caretaker of DR.. Morrison's
property.

A FAMILY REUNION.
Historical Interest Attaches to De-
Iaittre.DeS Isles Reunion,


AS the vacation season draws to
a close and the visitors begin to
leave Lamoine for their homes, it
is a pleasure to review the activities
of the summer. Among the varied
means of entertainment stands out,
in pleasant relief, the DeLaittre-Des-
Isles reunion at the home of Mrs. B..
G. Des Isles.
During the French revolution,
Madam La Val of France, having re-
-ceived a grant of large acreage OF
Land embracing part of the ter
,ritory known as Trenton point (now
Lamoine), came to this country to
found a colony on her estate. A
young man by the name of Louis de
Lorine du PARE Des Isles came as
her secretary. Artisans from France
erected a substantial manor house,
a tide-mill and other buildings.
After a time, firing of her ad-
venture, Madam La Val sailed away
on French ship to the West Indies,
and decided her property to Louis Des
Isles. He was soon joined by Charles
De Laittre, friend from France who
had located in New York. Here, on
this SPOT of special interest, the de-
scendants of these two early settlers
have gathered on various occasions
for picnic dinners and reunions.
AS has been the custom, Charles
p. De Laittre assisted by Mrs. w. f.
Des Isles, prepared the fish cnowder,
which was the piece de resistance OF
the substantial dinner partaken OF
by about thirty De Laittre-Des Isles
descendants. After dinner the
company gathered on the lawn for
1literary and social hour"
Howard M. De Laittre of Mime
apolis, in an interesting manner, gave
an appropriate talk on the activities
and incidents in the lives of the De
Laittres and Des Isles in Trenton
during the close of the eighteenth
century and early in the nineteenth
These men not only cleared the land
and planted crops, but built several
small fishing vessels, also operating
tide-mill for grinding corn and other
grains as we'll as saving lumber.
Cant. Nathan DuParre King, who
made many voyages to South Amerl-
can points without losing man or a
shin. on account of his natural shy
ness, declined to entertain the COM
pany with "reminiscences of those
VOYAGES. Mrs. William F. Des Isles,
Susie De Laittre Fogg and Mrs. Will
liam H. De Laittre, jr., added in
terest to the program by their brief
but spicy remarks.
Charles P. DeLaittre closed the ex-
ercises by recounting the sterling
qualities of his ancestors whom he
was proud to honor. Men OF little
learning, yet possessing a high de-
gree of intelligence, honesty and
high morality, these characteristics
are we'll set forth in the following
quotation from "The True Aristo-
Gratis"
"Whc are the mobiles of the earth, the
true aristocrats,
Who do not bow their heads to lords
nor doff to kings their hats?
Who are they but the men of toll who
clear the forests down
And plant amid the wilderness the
hamlet and the town?
Who are they but the men of toll, the
mighty and the free.
Whose hearts and hands subdue the
lands and compass all the sea?
These claim no boast of heraldry and
scorn the knighting rod
Their coats of arms are noble deeds
their peerage is from Cod"

chine from the Motang-Robinson Co.,
