When people found out they could buy good desirable shoes “in these high cost of living days” for the small sum of One Dollar they fairly overwhelmed us. Never in the history of our business have we sold so many pairs of shoes as our sale slips show since last Thursday. Better still, we have yet to hear of one dissatisfied person. Have you? So our only purpose in writing this advertisement is to let you know that we are going to give even greater l^ilues these last three days than any previous day during the sale. Why? Because it has been our ex. perience that the last three days of a sale always drag. The Best is always grabbed up first. So for this reason we have purposely ield back some of the ! greatest values for these last Three Days’ selling. SPECIAL HOUR SALES NO MAIL OR PHONE ORDERS. Today-Thursday-Eight O’clock Another 12 pairs of those White Canvas and Nubuck Boots go on sale this morning at eight o’clock for One Dollar a pair. Last week these boots were on sale exactly FIVE MINUTES, so you better hurry. FRIDAY MORNING-EIGHT O’CLOCK 36 pairs Women’s Colonial Pumps in fancy colors and combinations. Nearly all sizes. Think of it! One Dollar a pair. SATURDAY MORNING-EIGHT O’CLOCK 75 pairs Women’s White Canvas Colonial Pumps, turned flexible soles, high heels, regular $2.00 value, sizes 3 to 5, One Dollar. You won’t believe your eyes when you see these shoes in our window. REMEMBER Only Three More Dollar Shoe Days The Dinsmore Store Robert W. Rollins has enlisted and will leave August 15th for the Wentworth In stitute, Boston, where he will decide on which branch of the service he will enter. C. S. Stetson of Greene, John J. Dear born of Newburg and Wilbur F. Dresser of South Portland, State Assessors, with Frank H. Sterling of Augusta, clerk, held their annual session for Waldo county at the court house last Tuesday. All the towns were represented with the excep tion of Islesboro, Palermo and Burnham. Monday evening the Young People’s Improvement Society of the Baptist church entertained their pastor, Rev. J. Wilbor Richardson. The Junior room at the church was arranged as a parlor with rugs, chairs, flowers, etc., and the piano moved in from the vestry. Here a social hour was spent with a costume dance by Virginia Dutch, a piano solo by Louise Ellis, a vocal solo by Bertha Hayes and a humprous reading by Deacon Alton K. Braley. Then all adjourned to the ypung men’s room which had been converted into an attractive banquet hall and re freshments were served from small tables. Harry C. Snow played several selections on a Victrola and invited the pastor’s opinion on the records used. On learn ing of his pleasure the records were pre sented him with the best wishes of the members. Immediately following this surprise Albert L. Cuzner, with, a few well chosen words of regret at his de parture in the near future, presented Mr. Richardson with a set of solid gold cuff links very handsomely engraved with his initial. It was several minutes before Mr. Richardson could respond to this unmistakable evidence of the most cor dial relations of pastor with the young people, with whom he had been most in timately associated. ■Shwmm—mn The North church Sewing circle will | meet with Mrs. L.

Abraham Caseman, a junk dealer, who is believed to be a German Jew, was before Judge Maurice W. Lord of the Belfast Municipal Court Saturday forenoon on the complaint of Walter F. Trundy of Stockton Springs, charging the defiling of the American flag by using parts of it as a fly net on his horse. Case man, who speaks tairly good r.ngusn, was arraigned and plead not guilty. The evi dence, shown by the testimony of War Deputy Ernest McLaughlin, was to the effect that the Jew appeared early Friday morning on the streets of Stockton Springs with parts of the flag on his horse. He was accosted by Walter F. Trundy, who advised him to remove it. Caseman insisted that it was not the American flag and that it “had no blue stripes on it” and began to argue as was his custom. At this juncture McLaugh lin took a hand in the case and removing the flag from the horse put it into the wagon and told the man not to use it for that purpose again. Mr. Trundy’s testi mony substantiated Mr. McLaughlin’s. Caseman several times attempted to in terrupt the witnesses and to argue before the presiding justice, but was told his place by Judge Lord and was obliged to keep quiet He was not represented by an attorney, but plead his own cause amounting in substance that he did not know there was a law against using parts of a flag for such a purpose. In response to questions by Judge Lord he said he was a naturalized citizen, that he belonged in Dover and that he “had lived in the little place of Maine for eighteen years with out having any trouble in court.” Judge Lord frankly told him he did not believe he was ignorant in the use of the flag and fined him *10 and costs of court. He was also severely admonished by Judge Lord to be more careful of his conduct in Stockton Springs and refrain from giving Offence in any way. It also appeared that Caseman was on the, street Saturday morning with a net on his horse made entirely of the IS inch wide white gtripes of the flag. This capped the climax of a long series of minor offences and Case man was brought over by Deputy Mc Laughlin, accompanied by Messrs. Trundy and Leonard La Furley in an auto. The parts of the forty-foot wool bunting flag were shown in court, but Caseman denied all knowledge of it, even as to where it came from- He paid his fine and costs. - ' '-!S9 Community Chautauqua. The Chautauqua tent arrived Monday even ing and work of placing it in position be gan at once. Mrs. Bessie Bradshaw, the play leader, begun her work here with the children last Friday. Wednesday’s program was all that it was advertised to be. The musical attractions for the re mainder of the week are among the best in this country and will be sure to please the most critical. This, Thursday, even ing Albert Edward Wiggam will speak on “The Life of Our Bays in France.” The management selected Mr. Wiggam, one of the ablest lecturers in America, to go on a special mission to the Western Front this spring where the military authorities have given him every facility for getting the information of greatest interest to the American people. Mr. Wiggahi has brought back with him some wonderful pictures and many interesting exhibits, among them being the recently invented life saving suit which he used on his ocean trip and wh'ch has been the means of greatly reducing the terrors of the submarine. Friday evening the lec ture will be by Ralph Parlette, who is called a professor, a poet, a philosopher, a humorist and an orator. He is best known, however, as the “Humorist who helps Humanity.” His good cheer, his quaint ness, his personality illuminate every ut terance. So great has been the demand for Parlette’s lecture on “The University of Hard Knocks” that it has been publishep in book form and is now in its fourth edi tion. His lecture has already been de livered over 3,000 times and its popular ity is further attested by the fact that the public has paid over half a million dollars to hear it. Sunday evening Wal lace Bruce Amsbary, a poet, dramatist and publicist of wide note, brings to the Chautauqua in his own masterful and charming way a lecture recital on “Kip ling, Master Interpreter of the War Spirit.” Mr. Amsbary’s work is abso lutely different from that of every other platform man. Not only does he convey to his auditors a deeper love and a wider understanding on Kipling s stones, but he gives such an intimate and faithful picture of the author himself, that you feel you have known and lived with him all your life. The management desires to call atten tion to the fact that the Weber Male Quartet announced on its program is of New York City and not of Boston. The members are as follows: Mr. Robert Armour, 1st tenor; Mr. Marlowe Jones, 2nd tenor; Mr. Malcolm Barnes, bari tone; Mr. Frederick Thomas, bass; All of whom have been with the Quartet fof eight years without a single change in the personnel. This announcement is made in order to avoid any misunder standing or confusion arising in the minds of any people as to the identity or repu tation of the Weber Male Quartet.A large number of children gathered Tues day evening for the Junior Parade, which was very attractive with its decorated pony carriages, Uncle Sams, Red Cross nurses, etc. Then followed a program of songs and fancy dancing. All made merry at the ticket hunt on the lower chool common, when four lucky little ones found their course tickets. The Fisher Shipp Concert Company, Wed nesday, gave a most delightful program. Miss Shipp’s voice is a lyric soprano of remarkable range and flexibility and in the seirtet was especially enjoyed. Miss Majors, the violinist, demonstrated her ability as an artist throughout the pro I ! burlesque on grand opera. Dr. Joseph ! Clare of London, the English orator, from start to finish held the closest at tention. He told of life in Petrograd, ' where he had been pastor of the British American church five years, and his lec | ture was replete with thrilling revela ■ tions. Don’t forget. Only Three More Dol lar Days at the Dinsmore Store. Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Brown have moved from the Pastures in Belmont to the Murphy house, so called, on North port avenue. Belfast friends have received cards an nouncing the engagement of Leon Beck with, U. S. N., and Miss Eunice L. Tucker, both of New Haven, Conn. Archie Robinson of this city has en listed in the U. S. N. with the intention of entering the Harvard Radio school. He is taking a short course in the Federal and State radio-buzzer class in the B. H. S. school building under the direction of Supt. E. E. Roderick. A stag party was givm Friday night by Maine Hills and Norman A. Read at the home of the former in honor of Lieut. Ansel M. Lothrop of Co. F., who leaves Friday for Camp Devens. The evening was spent with cards and at 11 o’clock supper was served by Mrs. Hills and Mrs. Read, assisted by Mrs. Lothrop. Those present were Thomas W. Lothrop, A. S. Heal, W. A. Mason, M. E. Brown, Chas. E. Brown, Irving T. Dinsmore, Clifford Ness, William H. Hall, E. M. Hall, Carl Hasner, Cecil Clay, C. B. Holmes, Ray mond R. Sherman. A number of Dr. Lothrop’s friends presented him with a handsome armv blanket as a parting gift. The Weir Industry. Three large weirs are practically completed by Judge Maurice W. Lord, John B. Mclntire, and Sheldon & Brown. Judge Lord’s weir on his own shore privilege is one-half a mile long and the pound is 600 feet in circum ference. The hard wood stakes used were also cut on his lot at the Bluff. He bas received his license to build another at Murphy’s Point. He has employed Her h^rt CVnr.rv t\f Sunshine as weirman. John B. Mclntire has built at Elwell's Point and his weir is in charge of Bryant Bro’sof Bangor,Chester Sheldon of North port and Charles E. Brown of Belfast have •built on the Birch Crest shore. They aho have licenses to build at Kelley Cove and on the Isaac S. Hill’s lot on North Shore and have begun on the latter. They have applied for a license to build on the Hazeltine shore at Little River. Clifton C. Staples and Joseph Johnson have li censes to build off the Battery and will have their weir ready for the sea son’s catch. Mr. Mclntire also has a large^veir at Moose Point with George E. Pendleton of East Belfast as weirman. Arthur E. Stantial, Capt. Alex. N. Snow, and William A. Gentner have a very large weir at Steel Ledge in East Belfast, which they operato themselves. Elmer H. Mason and George E. Pendleton, both of East Belfast, lost their weirs in the ice last winter. These new weirs have all called for an expenditure of a large amount of capital and the labor required is not a small factor in the enterprise. The near by markets will insure good profits if the catches are normal. The season begins Sept. 1st and closes Dec. 1st.
