DEVELOPING MAINE.
Mrs. Fred Marsh Speaks Bef..e
WOman'S Club i'm Ellsworth.

Mrs. Fred Marsh, representative
of the Maine Publicity Bureau, adj
dressed the Ellsworth woman's club
and interested townspeople yesterday
afternoon, at the Dirigo theatre,
holding the undivided attention of
her audience throughout her talk.
Mrs Marsh told of the beginning
of the publicity work and its growth,
saying that last year, when cities and
towns were called upon to approprl-
ate to the advertising fund, $4,000
was raised. She spoke of one small
town of 500 inhabitants that gave
SO and a "hearty appreciation OF
the plan" This sentiment is what
the bureau is looking for. 1t is the
moral support and interest that are
needed. even more than the money.
A report presented by o. w. Zap
lev to Mrs. Marsh before her talk
was read by her, and showed
that the towns of Hancock
county had appropriated over
$1,000 so far this year, with
still a few towns not heard from.
Mrs. Marsh stated that it was eX-
pected that the appropriations THIS
year would be SIS per cent greater
than last year, thus proving that the
cities and towns of Maine are coming
to realize the importance of adj
vertising.
The ultimate object of the work,
she said. was to develop Maine
agriculturally, industrially and recre-
ationally. also setting forth the TACT
tbat Maine boys and girls should be
kept in Maine by putting our state
on an equal footing with other states
an the Union.
The Importance of advertising and
the results obtained through it were
explained by Mrs. Marsh. News
papers. magazines, circulars motlon
mixtures and radios are all employed
in the work. In the past year lb,ooo
reouests were received at the bureau
and over 100, 900 pieces of literature
were distributed. visitors came
from every state in the Union
Canada. and a few from across the
Atlantic, as a result of the advertls-
ing campaign.
Mrs. Marsh told of the mistaken
impression of many, who thlnK Oh
Maine as a land of ice, inhabited ny
Indians and polar bears.
Mrs. Marsh closed with urgent ap-
neal that citizens of Maine get over
the idea that they must be benelltea
individually by what they give, put
give with the belief that what bene-
fits the State will in the end beneft
themselves.

an action to recover bill for sup
plies and expense incident to the
quarantine of the family of Charles
A. EN- erson during an illness of scar
let fever. While these are not
pauper supplies under the law, the
case rested upon the p2uper re7l-
dence of Mr.. Emerson. 1t was ad-
mitted that Mr.. Emerson has a
derivative settlement in Waltham
About 1902 he came to Ellsworth,
and for several years thereafter ro-
tated between Ellsworth, Bar Harbor
and other towns, as work offered.
He was unmarried at that time.
Action was first brought by Ellis
worth against the town OF Bar Hai-
bor. and secured verdict, but TINS
verdict was set aside by the law
court as not in accordance with the
evidence. Then, instead OF retryln2
the case against Bar Harbor, action
was brought against Waltham. One

After reading the Intimate Papers
of Col House." one cannot but feel
that the pedestal has been knocked
from under the great war Presi-
dent" by an ungracious and egotisti-
cal confidante History may have
warranted the publication of the
papers, but charity would have kept
them forever submerged
Commander McKeen of Whtmore
post has the right idea. At the meet
ing this week. the service boys will
discuss the question, 'What can we
do for Ellsworth this year," And
1t isn't proposed to let the matter
rest with discussion. They mean to
do something. There is sugges-
ton here for all of us.
That the voters of Maine are thor
eoughly awake to the value of ad-
vertising Maine is indicated by the
fact that already, from town meet
ings held throughout the State, the
advertising fund has been increased
so per cent, over that of last year.
and other towns are still to be heard
from. Hancock county is not behind
in this work. If anyone doubts the
beneficial results of the campaign in
Maine, the last Government report
from savings banks and trust COM
panies deposits in the State is best
answer These total over 100000
900 in excess of last year, 1t is con-
hdently expected that the work done
will bring larger number of out-of-
state visitors to Maine the coming
summer than ever before.
