limited to the National colors, tn

Supervisor Hinckley announced that
his single handed effort to raise $780,
00o for Good Will before June first
had not been successful, as the
pledges up to that time had amounted
to only $12S,000, with $4,000 Ia cking
He announced that he believed that
what he could do in this undertaking
he would be able 10 do June first;
but he stated that the man who made
the offer of $4,000 on conditions a
certain amount be raised by him
would be satisfied if the sum be col
lcctcd any time in ibis year 1914. The
Supervisor however is not in a posi-
ten to do anything further at pres
ent. and so the thermometer in the
Good Will office stands at $12S,000
pledged toward the S250,000 with the
bonus of $4,000, had he succeeded in
tho undertaking.

SKOWHEGAN'S MEMORIAL To HER FALLEN
HEROES Of THE BATTLE FIELD
Patriotic Exercises Services at the Cemeteries
William 7. Eustis, Principal Speaker

Bradley. Miss Mabelle E. Ross, Robert
Emery and Ray Kilgore sang and then
Post Adiutant Varney read the orders
in accordance with Grand Army Gus
toms Brooks Savage read Lincoln s
address after which Mr. Eustis him
self a veteran, delivered a speech, such
as only those who passed through the
days of horrible warfare can voice. He
touched upon the incidents of the war,
relating both humorous and sad az.
counts of the days of battle, while his
remarks abounded with praise for that
reyered statesman, our Abraham Lin
coin. While his address was largely
to the veterans, he departed from the
deeds of carnage and strife and touch
ed upon the pensions, which he said
had decreased more than 91l,000,000
in the past year. He did not favor
the limitation clause and won over
doubtless, many of the fair sex when
he said he favored equal suffrage.
Mr. Eustis' reference to the Next
can situation was brief, his opinion,
however, seemed to be that there
would be no battle in the efforts to
secure peace. He also touched upon
intemperance, pleading for nation
wide prohibition and after reading the
significant poem Flag of Freedom
he closed his patriotic discourse with
the heartfelt utterance God keep the
nation ever, give the people loyai
hearts
After singing by the children Of the
lublc schools, Mr.. Eustis added an
expression of praise for the RelieC
america" was sung by the audience
standing with a band accompaniment.
Bonediction pronounced by Rev. Mr..
Wilson concluded the exercises, the
audience again taking their seats to
allow the orders, militia and band to
pass out
In continuance of the memorial, the
veterans were driven to the Horth and
South cemeteries where the graves OF
the deceased soldiers were decorated
They were accompanied by !hc Relief
Corps. the Skowhegan Band. Company
f and Somerset Cantons were their
escorts. The long parade was I'M
usually prepossessing, as the militia
and Cantons were attired in fun dress
uniforms.
The ranks, that year after year, May
30, have paid their tribute to the hero
dead, this year were thinner, but the
tributes were nevertheless as Loyalty
