Charles Howard Plattenburg, the
lecturer, who will speak at Hancock
hall Saturday evening, in the Chau-
tauqua course, is one of the out
standing opponents .of community
spirit in the United States. He is a
booster for the home town and home
state, and he puts his message across
with punch. He can give the mer
chants and the people of Ellsworth
more trade-at-home arguments than
, they ever dreamed of. 1t is unfor-
tunate that this lecture falls on Sat-
urday evening, when the stores will
be open and the merchants engaged.
But Mr.. Plattenburg will be in Ellis
worth Sunday, and it is probable that
meeting will be arranged for Sun
day afternoon, which all merchants
who believe in Ellsworth should
make a special effort to attend.
"All Aboard" presented at Han
cock hall last Wednesday and
Thursday evenings was. highly sue
cessful. From the time the pas
sengers came hurrying onto the deck
of the IS. S. Florida" until Billy
Brady regained possession of his
precious false teeth at the end of
the show the audiences were en-
Toying a constant laugh. 1t was a
big laugh, too, for the hall was filled
both nights. The acting of the prln-
cipals, the musical numbers and the
dances, were excellent. Miss Doris
Dindore of the John B. Rogers
Producing Co., deserves high praise,
both as an efficient manager of the
show and an actress, as Dorothy,
Billy Brady's vivacious sister. After
the entertainment Wednesday eve
ming the Dirigo orchestra of Ellis
worth played for dancing. After the
show Armistice night, the cast was
treated to refreshments in the
American Legion rooms.
John F. Page, mortally injured
Sunday, Nov. Z, when struck by car
near Pond spring, died Thursday
morning at the E. M. G. hospital in
morning at the Eastern Maine hospi-
tai in Bangor. Mr.. Page, native of
Old Town, had been living in Ellis
worth for the past three years and
was in the employ of the Ellsworth
Coal Co, at the time he was injured.
Mr. Page, it will be remembered was
engaged in putting on tire when
struck by passing car, the driver of
which did not stop. A dense fog
made driving dangerous, and 1t is
possible that the driver of the fatal
car did not realize he had struck a
man. On the other hand it may be
that, as too often happens, he ran
away to escape consequences. Mr..
Page was thirty-six years of age, and
a veteran of the World war. He
leaves sister and brother-Mrs. Les
lie Spencer of Old Town and Winfield
Page of Orono. Funeral services
were held at the home of Mrs.
Spencer Sunday Nov. IA.
Interest is increasing in the pool
tournament at the Masonic club. The
tournament this year is between
"chosen up" teams the "Rexalls,'
with DR.. George S. Hagerthy as cap
tain, and the "Superbas," with ]. A.
Haynes as captain. Games are played
Monday and Friday nights. The cap
tains, alternating, put up man to
play on a certain evening, and the
opposing captain names man from
his team to meet him. 1t will be
brother against brother in one game
next Friday evening, with DR.. Lau
renee Higgins and Roger Higgins
playing. The other game for Friday
evening, between Harry w, Haynes
and R. H. Smith, will be we'll worth
watching by students of fine points
of the game. The "Rexalls" are at
present leading, but Capt. Haynes of
the "Superbas," is rumored to have
enlisted the services of some secret
lieutenants, and is said to have some
thing Cup his sleeve" The losers of
the tournament will furnish a ban
Quet for the winners.
