NORTH ELLSWORTH.

Charles Wilson, jr., and wife,
of New London, Conn, are in town
for a few days. They made the
trip from New London in a Ford
motor truck carrying "a load.
Pretty good for late January.
The advent of the snow-plow is
certainly great thing for the
rural communities. The roads are
clear and smooth as in summer,
making excellent travelling for
auto vehicles, as we'll as horse
drawn. Although our roads have
been plowed for the past two or
three winters, we realize new
possibilities each winter. The
Sunday school, for instance, which
has been closed with the coming
of snow and not opened until
April, has continued on through the
winter this year, and it makes it
possible for other organizations to
meet with greater regularity.
At the Farm Bureau planning
meeting, held in the grange hall
January S, the women's local branch
choose officers for the year as
follows: Chairman, Mrs. Tena
WCGOWn secretary, MIS-. LyuoIlo
Maddocks, clothing project leader,
Mrs Bernice Moore; food project
leader, Mrs. Edna Burns; house
hold management, Mrs. Inez Smith;
boys and girls club, Mrs. Minnie
Danico. An interesting calendar
of work for the coming year was
made up. Among these are prep
aration of material for remodel
ing; remodeling and finishing
remodeled garments; chair can
ing; basketry; healthful clothing,
and several other interesting sub
jects Anyone, even though not a
member, is always cordially welcome,
| and if interested in any of the sub

Col. House, Confidential Advisor OF
Wilson. Publishes Diary.

The mystery surrounding the close
friendship of Col. Edward NJ House
and President Wilson, and the amaZ-
ing part that friendship played in
world history, is finally to be re-
vealed. Col. House, the only person
who could now give the whole story
to the public, has decided to publish
his personal diary, his correspon-
dence, and record of his activities
as confidential spokesman for the
President during those fateful years
1t promises to be one of the
NOSE remarkable and intimate docu-
ments in American political history.
"The Intimate Papers of Col.
House" will allow Americans to
follow him day by day in his move
ments and plans, known at the time
only to the lonely man in the White
House, making and unmakingcabinet
officers and ambassadors, consulting
the battle lines from the Allies to the
Kaiser, with the confidence of both,
through our ticklish years OF neu-
trality, trying to avert war. How
far President Wilson went-and he
went the limit-in a last desperate
resort to keep us out Of war" is
now to be disclosed for the first time.
The Boston Globe paid $4,000 for
the privilege of being the only New
England newspaper to print this
extraordinary record. 1.-THE Intimate
Papers of Col. House" will be given
to the public for the first time in the

Maine has the last great stand of

it is my prediction that in the next

Our Eden correspondent is a bird
lover. She tells this week of some
of the bird boarders coming to her
table. Winter feeding of birds is
becoming more and more common.
And the profit in it is not all on the
side of the birds. We are not think
ing now of the good they do in
destroying insect pests, by which
they pay for their winter food many
times over, but of the actual return
in the pleasure they give to the one
feeding them. It is delight to
watch their growing confidence, you
will laugh to hear them scold when

We publish elsewhere in this issue
few facts from the annual report
of Secretary Coe of the Maine Pub
licity Bureau, showing what is being
done for the State in the advertising
campaign Hancock county is one
of the most favored counties in the
State-a county of mountains and
sea, of forests and lakes, home of
that splendid national monument,
Lafayette National Park, home of
famed Bar Harbor and many other
less famous but no less attractive re-
sorts, Hancock county has an ap-
peal all it's own, and any campaign
advertising Maine helps Hancock
county more than most counties in
the State. Soon, at town meetings,
the towns of Hancock county will be
asked to subscribe to the Maine De-
velopment Association, and private
individuals will be asked to sub
scribe to the Maine Publicity Bureau
separate organizations, but both
working to the same end and in CO.
operation for the advancement OF
Maine. Hancock county, profiting sc
greatly from this work, should not
be niggardly in its response.
