striving to raise *60,000 for the same
purpose, not that the Legion men may
idle away their spare time in luxurious
surroundings, but for the express purpose
of keeping these men, who fought for
America, organized. In every emergency
that has arisen since the war the men of
the American Legion have been called
upon they have maintained and upheld
the law and order, at Youngstown, Ohio,
at Boston during the police strike, and on
numerous other occasions.
The American Leg on today represents
an organization of upwards to 2,000,000
men, who have proven to the world what
they can do. Men who come from every
walk in life. Thousands upon thousands
of these men cannot be reached through
any other organization. The necessity
of keeping this body of men together is
apparent to every sane thinking citizen
at this time in our country’s history.
Here in Belfast the Legion stands for
the same principles as elsewhere Our
Rost is composed of men who have faced
the worst the Germans had to offer. We
have men who have been cited for brav
ery in action, men who have held posi
tions of responsibility during the war.
Your soldiers of yesterday will be your
lawmakers tomorrow.
It is for the purpose of keeping this
organization in a flourishing condition
that we appeal to the citizens of Waldo
county to join with us in observing Ar
mistice Day.
Everyone will be given an opportunity
to purchase tickets before November 11th.
The tickets include admission to the foot
ball game and to the dance in the even
ing. The price is *1.10 including the war
tax. Be ready when the Legion man
comes with your ticket! We are striving
to give every one “Value Received” for
the one dollar lie pays for his ticket.

NATHAN D. ROSS
Nathan D. Ross, one of the prominent
Waldo County Republicans and business
men, died Oct. 22nd at his home in Lin
colnville after a short illness, although
he had been in failing health for some
time. About 08 years ago he was born in
Northport, the son of Joseph and Theo
dora Tolman Ross and for 50 years he
had lived in Lincolnville. He engaged
in farming and also conducted a general
store, besides being postmaster thirty-five
years. He was one of Lincolnville’s
most honored and respected citizens and
will be greatly missed, not only in his
own home, but in the community at large
Of excellent character and generous dis
position, he was frank and candid in his
opinions, never failing to respond and
contribute to any worthy motive or
cause. He was a member of the Metho
dist church and a regular attendant; a
member of King David Lodge, F. & A. M.
and also a charter member of the Scot
tish 'Rite bodies, both orders sending a
lovelyj (floral tribute. He was a mem
ber of Palestine Commandery, Knights
Templar, and was a frequent visitor in
Belfast, where he had made many friends.
Mr. Ross had also represented his class
in the State Legislature at Augusta. The
funeral was held Sunday at 2.30 p. m.
Rev. B. W. Russell of Camden officiat
ing. Much sympathy is expressed for
the bereaved widow, son and grandchil
dren. The burial was in the family lot
in Union Cemetery.
HARTLEY-MORTON
Harry Edgar Hartley of Monroe and
Effie Ellen Morton of Frankfort were
married Saturday afternoon, Oct. 23rd,
at the home of the officiating clergyman,
Rev. Frank S. Dollilf of Jackson village.
Their many friends are extending cordial
congratulations and best wishes.
WYUE-FROST
The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Orlando
E. Frost, Northport avenue, was the
scene of a charming home wedding at 2
P. m. Wednesday, Oct. 27th, when their
daughter, Miss Myrtle E., became the
bride of Arthur G. Wylie of Boston. The
home was decorated with evergreen, au
tumn foliage and cut flowers, dahlias pre
dominating and mostly the gift of Eddie
Norton. About twenty intimate friends
were present. Rev. Geo. C. Sauer of the
Baptist church officiated, with the single
ring service. She wore a handsome gown
of white crepe de chene trimmqd with
pussy willow taffeta and heavily beaded,
and carried a shower bouquet of white
chrysanthemums and white sWeet peas.
Her sister, Miss Katherine E. Frost, ac- j
companied her and wore a dainty dress of
old rose embroidered voile and carried I
pale pink carnations. Miss Katherine !
also presided at the piano and played |
Faithful and True by Lohengrin and
Wagner’s March Triumphant. The groom
gave his bride a solid gold wrist watch,
and the bride gave her maid of honor a
handsome gold bar pin. A very informal
reception followed the ceremony when
Mrs. Ben Hazeltine had charge of the
refreshments and was assisted in serving
by the Misses Katherine Brown, Ruth
Dinsmore and Katherine Frost, the bride
cutting her cake. The bride’s going away j
suit was of braided beaver colored Jersey ;
cloth with coat to match and a henna i
toque. They left by auto for a trip into :
New Hampshire. The out-of-town guests i
were the groom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
F. S. Wylie of Holyoke, Mass., Mrs. Jen- !
nie Flood Kreger of Fairfield, and Miss '
Jennie Sawyer of Bath. Their wedding
gifts were beautiful and will adorn their t
new home on the Fenway, Boston, where i
they will begin housekeeping on returning
from their bridal trip. Mr. Wylie is a
graduate of Cornell University and is the '
electrical engineer with the Ley Con
stfuction Company of Boston. His bride S
is a graduate of the Belfast High school |
an,d of Wheaton College, Norton, Mass.
She also took a course at the Pierce Sec- j
retarial School in Boston and for a short
time was secretary to Dr. F. G. Brigham
of Boston, resigning to prepare for her
wedding.
MRS. AUG. G. ROSE
Abby M., widow of Augustus G. Rose
of Brooks, died Sept. 13th at the home of
her son, Newton A. Rose of Wellesley
Hills, Mass. She was ill only 9 days and
her age was 88 years and 8 months. One
daughter, Mrs, Andrew Pratt of Fitch
burg, Mass., and three sons, Walter of
Ashland, Newton of Wellesley Hills, Mil
ton of Cambridge, and one granddaugh
ter, Kate Elizabeth Rose of Wellesley
Hills, survive her. The last ten years of
her life were spent in the home of her
little granddaughter and their unusually
strong affection for each other had made
her last years much happier. Mrs. Rose
enjoyed unusually good health most of
her life. She was a great reader, a very
bright woman, and made friends with all
who knew her. For many years she had
been a Congregationalist church member.
She had been looking forward to going
South for the winter.
Mr. and Mrs. George F. Reynolds and
Mr. fand Mrs. Harry H. Russell of Port
land were in Belfast Sunday, guests of
Dr. and Mrs. Eugene L. Stevens.
Mr. and Mrs. Maurice S. Wood and
son Luville have returned from Green
ville, where they were guests a few days
of Mrs. Ethel Wilson Smith.

Agricultural and Industrial Clubs
Entertained in Belfast.
Excellent Exhibits, Enthusiastic Meetings,
Banquet and Sports, Special Features
of Sixth Annual Session.
Over a hundred of the Dritfht boys and
girls of Waldo county, accompanied by
their club leaders and friends, were guests
of the Belfast Chamber of Commerce at
their 6th annual session held in Memorial
Hall Friday and Saturday, Oct. 22nd and
23rd. During the forenoon of the lirst
day William L. Luce, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce and chairman of
its hospitality committee, found accom
modations in private homes for 30 from
Brooks, 21 from Knox, 19 from Liberty,
12 from South Montville, 11 from East
Morthport and 10 from Lincolnville. A
few were entertained by relatives.
Good weather always adds pleasure to
the visit of these young people and after
an established custom all gathered on the
Post Office steps for their group picture,
ane of the best souvenirs of the event to
take home to interested parents.
The local club leaders in attendance
were: Mrs. Charles A. Stevens of Lin
aolnville; Mrs. Harriet Whiting of East
Morthport; Miss Ella Greeley of Liberty;
Mr. and Mrs. Edwin C. Martin of South
Montville; W. C. Sturtevant of Brooks;
Mrs. E. L. Toner of Brooks; Mrs. B. L
Ahorn of Knox; Herbert Ryan of Waldo.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION
The afternoon session opened with
County Agent Donahue presiding. Am
erica was sung with a vim under the di
rection of Pres. Bert L. Davis of the Bel
fast Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. C. E.
Frost accompanist. “Uncle Sam’s Club”
of Knox appeared with white caps and
pennants bearing the four leaf clovers
with the four capital Hs. Their presi
dent, Mark Shibles, a bright little lad<
led the majority of cheers for the assem
bly. Mr. Davis’ address of welcome and
Mrs. B. L. Aborn’s response showed
there were older people vitally interested
in the club’s membership and endeavors
and the people back home would have
been glad to learn that their children
were in reality guests of honor in Bel
fast. Mrs. Aborn said she realized that
the club members counted the days when
the time of coming to Belfast was near
at hand. Velma Benner of Liberty, a
bright little miss, gave very cleverly an
amusing reading, A Barn Yard Episode.
Dr. George E. Morgan, the children’s
friend and favorite, read an original
reading, entitled, A Vegetable Poem,
which was received with pleasure by all.
The other selections included songs by
Mr. Davis with Wm. L. Luce accompan
ist; chorus, John Brown’s Baby by Un
cle Sam’s Club; vocal solo by Blanche
Webh, accompanied by Beatrice Austin,
both of Brooks; piano solo by Miss
Gladys Young of Liberty; vocal solos by
Miss Marie Hogan of Brooks with Miss
Beulah Young of Belfast, accompanist.
Then came the individual distribution of
tickets to the banquet with the compli
ments of the Chamber of Commerce and
tickets to the Colonial Theatre with the
compliments of manager Walter J. Clif
ford. After a few words of instruction
by Mr. Donahue the meeting was ad
journed to school common for the sports.
THE BANQUET
The banquet was held in the Methodist
vestry under the auspices of the ladies of
that church. Four tables were bountiful
ly spread. The vestry was decorated in
autumn leaves and fall fruits. Commu
nity song sheets of Belfast Chamber of
Commerce containing words of popular
songs were placed at each plate. Mr. O.
E. Frost acted as toastmaster. While
waiting for another speaker Mr. Frost
addressed the girls and boys saying,
“There are some things boys and girls
like to do better than eat. So we’ll sing
taree verses of America.”
Rev. C. W. Martin offered grace. Then
Mr. Bert L. Davis, president of Belfast
Chamber of Commerce, directed the sing
ing of club songs by the audience.
Mayor C. W. Wescott was introduced
as first speaker of the evening as one
who stood for better school privileges
and higher education. He spoke of the
privileges the boys and girls of today are
enjoying tbat were not possible when he
was young. He was glad to co-operate
in extending welcome of the .people of
Belfast who were most glad to entertain
these young people. He spoke of being at
a State Board of Trade dinner held at Au
gusta recently. There were 175 present.
Ex-Gov. Cobb of Rockland, one of the
speakers, said: “Get away from theory
and visions, concentrate on three things
—Education, Health and Roads." Mayor
W escott urged the need of education and
the fact that school days are the best
days of one’s life. He said, “Make best
of your time. Set apex high. Climb as
near to it as you can. Health is as essen
tial as education.” He told a witty story
of some boys “a little fresh” who were
passing on a road in the country some
distance from thd village of Sangerville.
They passed a house poorly constructed
with stove funnel sticking through the
roof in place of a chimney. One of them
cried out to the owner, “Say, how does
your chimney draw?” The other an
swered, “Draws fine; draws attention of
every damn fool that passes.”
Bert L. Davis, President of the Cham
ber of Commerce, was introduced as one
who was always interested in the woik
of the boys and girls, Mr. Frost wittingly
remarking that it was best to take some
of his remarks with a grain of salt. Mr.
Davis said he expected to be roasted to
perfection before he was out of his pres
ent position as Pres, of Chamber. He
said that he was not like George Wash
ington who could not tell a lie, for he
could tell a lie but wouldn’t. He apox'e
of tbe privileges that the young folks
| of today have over those of his time. He
was not a farm boy but bad to earn hia
clothes since he was eight years of age. '
He told a story of having to sit at t he
second table after the older folks were
through eating. On one occasion when
the dressmaker was at his home his
mother allowed him to sit beside her at
the table. He was completely surprised j
to see the silver knives and forks and
Bilver dishes and exclaimed, “Oh, moth
er, where did you get all these new
things?” His other stories also had
points.
Miss Alfreds Ellis, in a pleasing man
ner, addressed the boys andjgirls express
ing her pleasure in the good time they
were enjoying. She hoped that the hos
pitality of the Belfast people would be
appreciated. She told of being at a pub
ic demonstration attended by nine boys
and girls from the easterp States in
Springfield, Mass. Six gold medals were
swarded to Aroostook Co. The four H
;lubs stood for head, heart, hand and
health. She was especially interested in
seeing Waldo county in the lead as Bel
fast was her home town, saying she was
like the Irishman who loved his native
:ountry whether he was born there or
not.
Mr. N. S. Donahue said he had no
story to tell but that of facts, that the
girls and boys had done nobly this year
A great deal of their success was due to
the Chamber of Commerce and Belfast
banks for the gift of $200 each year for
five years, amounting to $1,000 in prize
money. He said there were several club
members who were attending’ High
school, whom he knew would be far
above the average in rank as their club
worn, was done faithfully, with accuracy
and neatness. He felt that the previous
training in club work would fit them
better for life. Few clubs have finished
with better percentage this year. He
gave the figures of the past four years
the per cent of finish efficiency in 1917,
with a large enrollment, was only 40 per
cent; in 1918, 45 per cent; in 1919, 54 per
cent; 1920, 70 per cent. Why can’t we
make it 80 per cent next year? Since
his time was limited, he said more or
ess responsibility lies on shoulders of lo
cal leaders.
Principal Harry A. Foster of the B. H.
S. was introduced as a man large in in
terest in real manhood and womanhood
and a leader of thought; He said, “One
thing impresses me. I see many whom I
seem to know. Belfast is reaching out
into towns “here in our High school.
School life is nothing more than club
work. As there was a very large per
centage of out-of-town students attend
ing High school he was naturally inter
ested outside of the city. He thought it
fortunate that they get training in clubs
It makes them self-reliant, quick and
alert; something like the little boy who
came home one Sunday. His mother said,
“Son, have you been to Sunday school?’
“Yes.” “Well, your hair is all wet.’
The little boy answered, “Yes, but it was
a Baptist Sunday school.” The most im
portant thing for every boy and girl is
the ability to learn to think early.”
i
Morris L. Slugg of the Chamber of
Commerce addressed the boys and girls,
saying, “Each individual as an individual
must bear responsibility of Waldo county.
Sacrifices must be made to accomplish
ends. We must do things for ourselves,
not want others to do things for us.” He
said, Speaker Reed was once asked,
“What do you raise in Maine?” To
which he replied, “We raise men,” We
should have a spirit of pride in Waldo
county.
Rev. C. W. Martin, host of the even
ing, welcomed the boys and girls. He
saw a little bit of philosophy in the gath
ering, that if success preserves the spirit
of youth life is the richer. He ended by
saying, “God speed and God bless you.”
Mr. O. E Frost said he had no faith in
luck, that there was an overruling power
that gives every one the chance to think
twice before he goes wrong. He illus
trated this by a story of a bank theft in
Worcester, Mass. The teller of the bank
escaped with $45,000 of the bank securi
ties but was met on the road by the presi
dent of the bank who, noting his pallid
look, offered him a long vacation in which
to rest. The teller did not accept it but
kept on and later spent 13 years in State
prison.
The banquet closed by singing America.
The Saturday morning session was an
interesting one. It was reported that
132 had completed the projects. The
county champions in the senior project
are eligible to attend the State contest
at Orono, which will be held at the
Christmas vacation. Miss Marie Hogan
led the chorus of club songs with Miss
Beulah Young at the piano. The spirit
of the sessions was fine. The success of
the work is due largely to the work of
the local club leaders. They all express
ed their enthusiasm when called upon by
County Agent Donahue. Uncle Sam’s
Club won the seal of achievement in
gold, and the first one for Waldo county,
for having met the eleven requirements
of the Federal and State leaders.
