SLAP At STATE PRINTER


Senator Jouett Shouse TODAY deliver
ed a rebuke for the state printer for
refusing to print bills a second time
when they have been SO heavily
amended as to change their meaning
The senate undertook the considera-
ton of bill for the establishment of
a binding Irvine plant at the reform
atory at Hutchinson. Its provisions
had been altered by the committee on
ways and means to the extent of cut
ting its appropriations in two and the
Interpolation of a new section or 20.
These changes did not appear In the
bill which was distributed.
If the state printer will not reprint
these amended bills for our use" de-
clared Shouse. he ought to be in
structed as to his duties. Such bills
as these are of no use to this body. If
they can not be given US in their
proper form they should not be dis
tributed at ALL.

This firm continued until 1894, when
the deceased again decided to try his
fortune elsewhere than in Skowhegan
and he went to New Mexico, where he
was engaged in the hay, grain and
feed business. He remained there
for about five years and then came
home again to Maine, and to Skowhe-
gan, where old friends and dld as
sociations were awaiting him.
Not many months after his return
he was again re-establishcd as gro
GER, forming a co-partnership with
John F. Currier, the two gentlemen
continuing together until Mr.. Arnolds
retirement from active labors in 1912.
Since then he had lived in quiet re-
tirement, his home being at the Cor
ner of Madison Avenue and Leavitt
SITS. Not many men were better known
than has been this merchant, his train
ing for his chosen vocation having
been perfected through practice rath-
err than theory. His memory of early
events was of much aid to the local
historian and his business association
with such men as Ex-Governor CO.

Col. Eben H. Neal, had caused him to
acquaint himself with many of the i'm
portant business interests in the
towns early life. He will be greatly
missed in the town where so much of
his life has been spent.
Mr.. Arnold was twice married, his
first wife having been Ella w. Wey-
mouth before her marriage. Her
death occurred during their residence
in New Mexico. His second wife was
Mrs. Sylvia S. Snow, whom he mar
ried in 1899 and who survives him.
There were two children by the form
err wife, Clifton w. of New Orleans.
and Miss Florence Arnold, deceased.

Welcome to the c. O. F.

Skowhegan as town should well
come the delegates who will come
here next week, representing the local
lodges of Catholic Order of Foresters
throughout Maine and each citizen
should feel a personal duty to make
these visitors feel at home. We have
a very fortunate location for conyen-
tions and meetings of this kind, be-
ing situated almost exactly at Names
center of population. This leads to
the holding of State meetings of all
kinds in Skowhegan and it is ma
tural courtesy as well as good bust
ness sense to show our appreciation
of the honor.
We hope the visiting delegates, who
will be here Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday next, will like Skowhegan
and the people, and wish to come
again.
