Maine hardwoods was the subject
# some discussion at the meeting
Of the governor and council last
week. A mass of information rela-
tive to demands from other states
for hardwood was introduced and
this is being put into shape for a
complete report on the hardwood de-
velopments at meeting OF the
Maine Hardwoods Association in
Augusta this week. In the coming
few years there will be active de-
yelopments in hardwood industrial
lines. Hancock county, in which
there are some splendid stands of
fine hardwoods, is especially inter-
ested in this development.
Our Orland correspondent ex-
presses at the shortness of the school
year, which makes it hard for both
teachers and pupils. In this she
voices the sentiments of the men
and women of other towns in the
county who have the interest of the
schools and or the rlSlHS genera
ton at heart. Our Orlard corre-
srondent writes: After a ten
weeks vacation, so much is forgot
ten that the spring term is half
gone before the pupils can make
further progress. Unless something
is done to raise teachers salaries
and lengthen the school year, 1t Will
soon be impossible to hire ex-
perienced teachers in the town.
Good teachers will not come to Or
land to teach thirty weeks at the
salary offered, when other towns not
only pay more money weekly, put
have more weeks of school,. soon
town meetings will be here, when
these matters will be discussed and
acted upon. 1t is we'll TO mink
them over and talk them over now.

At DirigO Next Week in 1.-THE King
on Main Street"
Adolphe Menjou comes to the
Dirigo theatre next Monday and
Tuesday, as the star of the Monta
Bell-Paramount production, "The
King on Main Street." written for
the screen by Douglas Doty from Leo
Ditrichstein's New York stage hit,
1.-THE King" Greta Nissen and Bes-
sic Love are featured opposite the
star.
The story opens in Technicolor
with Menjou, as the King OF Mol
vania, reviewing a long line of cav
airy from gorgeously- draped dais.
The young ruler appears greatly
bored by everything that's going on.
In one of the royal apartments a
short time later, Menjou's minister
of finance and other statesmen are
reminding the king that the country
requires a large loan. The only way
1T can be obtained is either through
"a marriage with the House of Sla-
vonia or a trip to America. I'VE
shall go to America" the king an
nounces, "via Paris"
The story goes on to show in a
humorous entertaining way just
what happens when the philandering
king meets the most famous dancer
in the French capital, and then in
America, falls in love with young
American girl, only to be forced to
return to his own country without
her.-Advt.

Why Trade at Home.
SECOND PRIZE,

Miss Helen c. Hill, East Sullivan
The urge to leave our own berry
patch for one just ahead was 'wlsneu
on us" at the beginning, since IL was
the spirit of adventure and unrest
which sent the settlers for the
colonies across the ocean, and then,
trecking ever farther, across the
continent until came "the end OF the
trail" ever seeking things OF which
they knew not.
The Puritans thought they came ITO
find place to worship God as they
chose. l CLEAN from history, 1t was
to prosecute, even as they had been
prosecuted, Probably an up-to-date
chronicle would ban the Salem witch
craft and claim the voyagers in the
Mayfower lived and died without
ever seeing Plymouth Rock. This
does not affect the question under
discussion, but shows how early
training may be at fault.
We have read, "a prophet is not
without honor save in his own
country and among his own people. ,"
One may live on FTenchman's bay
and not climb Green mountain
(Cadillac), but one may not visit
San Francisco bay without viewing
it, from the top of Mt. Jamalpals.
1t simply isn't done.
The American eagle screams loud
in the passing. We are wont ITO say,
"It's our own money; we will spend
it as we choose" A typical Maine
Yankee was induced to invest the
money which he and his forbears
had wrested from the unwilling soil,
in an orange grove in Florida, and
make easy money. All went we'll un-
til there came a killing frost, which
ruined his crop. Then he looked
toward home, and said II would not
give one acre of my old rocky farm
for the whole d. Sunny South"
Now, with these Independent ideas
Gin our SYSTEM" all other things be-
ing equal Heart whole and fancy
free" Ellsworth trades in Bangor;
Bangor in Boston; Boston in New
York; New York in Paris; the small
towns with the mail-order houses.
Tourists cross the ocean, without
ever crossing the Rockies. Money is
invested in wildcat schemes. while
home industries languish for want
of capital.
With these ideas out of our sys-
tenn, let us trade at home. This
means, each one has something to
sell as we'll as something ito buy.
"From every man according to his
ability: to every man according to
his need" The baker sells bread,
but his wife buys hats; the laborer
sells his time; the teacher his
talents; the river furnishes power,
it takes capital ito harness it. The
editor edits, but his correspondents
furnish the items which sell his
paper to the home folks scattered
broadcast.
To trade at home means more en-
ployment, better citizens, sounder
banks, better goods, better wages,
better schools, more industries, and
| would make Of Ellsworth fairer
city with happier and more
prosperous people, each depending
upon the other and all welded to-
gether for the common good.

| Ellsworth Puts COnvicts Behind Bars
| Simmons & Hammond Next.
The Seal Harbor Convicts came to
Ellsworth New Years night, with
| only one defeat chalked up against
them, and that by the Chrysler Five
| of Bangor by very small margin.
| The Convicts, with "Ted' Donnell as
their leader, were confident of
victory, but they went back to the
island badly-beaten team
Donnells quota, while playing
with Ellsworth last season, was at
least seven baskets per game, but the
ex-EllswOrth star was held to four
| baskets by the stella work of Ellis
worth's 130-pound back, Austin,
who played rings all around "Ted,"
and incidentally made four baskets
himself
Sickness, the jinx which has been
following the Ellsworth team thus
far this season, made its appearance
the day of the game, Mahon being
laid up with severe cold, but the
other six players were in better con-
dition than they have been this
season and took the floor with con-
fidence and the spirit that would not
accept defeat
Both teams played fast, clean bas-
ketball, the Ellsworth team giving
one of the best exhibitions in pass
ing and team work ever seen on
Hancock hall floor
Fortier didn't get into the game
until the last half, but during the
time he was in it he Gagged five
baskets.
The pace set by Ellsworth simply
swept the Convicts off their feet, the
periods ending thus: First period,
Ellsworth 8, Convicts, O; second
period, Ellsworth 81, Convicts, Z;
third period, Ellsworth 33, Con-
victs 49, fourth period, Ellsworth

Tonight, Ellsworth will play re-

is expected.
Friday night the Ellsworth team
will meet Simmons & Hammond OF
Bangor at Hancock hall. The
Ellsworth boys met their first and,so
far, only defeat of the season at the
hands of this team. Mason and
Perro, who will be remembered by
Ellsworth fans as Bangor's mann
springs, will play in Fridays game.
The Ellsworth team hopes to give
Simmons & Hammond good game,
and does not intend to allow the
Bangor team a second victory.

Advertising Maine.

Inc advertising VI Mdluo Is lC-
moving some of the old impressions
of Maine as a wilderness, where one
is in constant danger of being lost
in the woods, or killed in an en-
counter with wild beasts. We heard
only recently of woman, who
spoke of an anticipated trip into
Maine as an adventure" And this
woman-think of it!-was a resi-
dent of Massachusetts. Truly, it
would be an adventure for her-an
adventure into land of delightful
surprises.
But, oh, those Maine winters!
We are reminded of remark made
by Governor Brewster on recent
visit to Ellsworth. "While Maine"
he said, sis apologizing for her cold
winters and deep SHOWS, Switzer-
land is advertising them to the
whole world, and drawing people
from every land to enjoy her win
ter sports" Maine will ser the day
when it will be the winter as we'll
as the summer playground of the
nation.
During the year just closing,
Maine entertained more summer
visitors and fall sportsmen than evrr
before in its history. The increase
In number of visitors Is estimated
at more than rs per cent. This Is
attributed almost wholly to Names
new and aggressive campaign to ad-
vertise its attractions.
It is a good beginning; WIZ must
not stop now. Next years advertis-
ing fund should be larger than this
years, and should be more easily
raised, for instead of promises, we
can show results. Soon the towns
of the State will be having their
town meetings, and it is anticipated
that, with the results achieved in
mind, more of them will swing into
line with appropriations for the ad-
vertising fund.
Gov. Brewster has announced his
candidacy for denomination in the
June primaries.
DR.. A. C. Hagerthy has resumed
his winter campaign In behalf of the
birds. Feed the birds, he says, and
they will repay you many times over
by destroying insect pests He would
like to see a fund raised to establish
regular feeding stations, and would
be glad to contribute toward 1t II
some bird lover would undertake the
work.
The coming session of the national
grange at Portland, Maine, is ex-
pected to break the famous Boston
record on seventh degree class in
1920, when 1888 candidates were
initiated-the record class in fra
ternal history of the United States.
That the Portland class will go Tar
above the 10000 mark is the present
expectation.
Once more the State championship
in canning has been brought to Han
cock county, and by a boy-William
Blaisdell of Franklin, who has won
this championship two years in
succession. One other State cham
pionship, that for poultry manage
ment, also came to Hancock county,
another Franklin boy, Floyd Brad
bury, being the winner. Two State
championships out of nine projects
to one county, is pretty good-two
to one town is better still. Franklin

Captured at West fremont While
Raiding Hen Pen.
A strange visitor called at the
home of Mrs. Edward Seavey at
West fremont Saturday night, and
proved to be murderer and thief.
The scene of action was at the hen
house, that hge-old battle-ground
of the domestic and the wild. A
loud cackling among the hens was
the first sign Of a visitor, and Mrs.
Seavey's son Edward called on the
agitated birds to see what had hap
pened.
Entering the building he was
startled by an object that glided
through the window into the night.
Further investigation gave Mr.
Seavey a second shock, for nine
hens, two ducks and bantam had
discarded all earthly ties and flown
to the happy hunting grounds OF
birds. j..
Realizing that some prowler OF
the night was raiding the hen
house, Mr.. Seavey set a few traps
and retired. In the early hours of
the morning, the hens again set up
a clamor. MIR. Seavey rushed TO
their aid, but they were safe this
time, for the marauder was caught
fast in one of the traps set for him.
It was a huge snowy or Arctic
owl, a rather rare bird for these
parts, as only an occasional stray
gler from the far North gets to
Maine, and then usually in severe
winter weather. The trapped owl
put up a battle for life, but was
finally killed. When measured, It
was found to have wing spread OF
FIVE feet.

The regular meeting of the city
government was held Monday even
ing. Full board present: Mayor
Hodgkins presiding.
Rev. George S. Brookes present
ed his resignation as chairman of the
committee on charities, but was pre-
vailed upon to continue the work
until he left the city March 1, when
the board will elect new chair
man.
Mr.. Brookes also brought up the
question of funds for the Red Cross
work in Ellsworth. Since the work
was begun here, it has been sup
ported by popular subscriptions, but
the work is of general public benefit,
especially in its care of the health
of school children, and many believe
it should be supported by taxation,
which would involve but small ex-
pense upon each each taxpayer in
stead of placing the burden upon
few. The matter will doubtless be
submitted to the voters at referen-
dunn at the municipal election in
March.
R. H. Smith, local superintendent
of the Bangor Hydro-Electric Co.,
read a report giving the position and
candlepower of every street light in
the city, and suggested a few i'm
provements. The board voted to
have a -candlepower light placed
at the railroad crossing on Main
street, another at the corner OF West
Main and Court streets, and small
err light on State street near the
northwest corner of the Union Trust
Co. building.
