The reception given Thursday by |
the students and citizens to the gradu-
ating class of Leland and Gray semi |

J. H. Ware announced that in be-
half of the trustees he had been ask
ed to say a word of farewell to the
retiring principal and wife. This he
said he found it impossible to do. A
speech of welcome, knowing Mr.. and
Mrs. Powers as he did, he would
gladly make, but could not find it in
his heart to say a farewell word, as
Mr. and Mrs Powers were going only
a few miles away. His hope was that
they would still identify themselves
with the interest of the town and
school.
p. H. Rutter, in behalf of the towns
people, spoke his hearty appreciation
of the work done in the school under
Mr.. Powers s leadership the past five
years, also of the literary sentiment
which Mr.. Powers had caused to pre-
vail and Of the courteous behavior of
the students on the street under his
/ training.

/ Mrs. Powers a silver bonbon dish en-
graved with the words: Presented 10

class, in behalf of the school, present
ed a handsome silver cake basket
| Mr. Hawkins spoke of the love which
the student force holds for the prin
cipal and of their appreciation of his
help and interest in their work. The
school veil and cheers for the princi
pal were then given with a will.
That the gifts ana addresses were
an entire surprise and a pleasure to both
/ Mr.. and Mrs Powers was shown by
their faces
In his response Mr.. Powers said he
had been able to do the work intrust
ed to him only because of the loya
support Of student, and parents. He
expressed special thanks 10 the grad
uation class, who had aided him il
every effort for the Improvement O.

B. g. M. OFFERS INCREASE.
Which Trackmen Have Accepted-To-
tai Raise 100000 Year.

BOSTON, June l0.-In their uego
tiations with the management Of the
Boston x Maine railroad for an in
crease i'll wages for the employees of
the road, the committees that repre-
sent the men have met with some
success. They have had numerous con
fercnces with General Manager Ben
iamin X. Pollock, occasionally partiei-
patcd in by President James IL. IIus-
It's, and have obtained an offer of an
increase of , per cent to substantially
all the classes of employees whose rates
had not been adjusted recently or are
not notably higher than the standard
wages III this community for that kind
of railroad work.
This readiustment of wages, of
course, does not extend to the Big
Four group of employees, whose case
is handled in a larger way by all the
railroads of the country. To the Bos-
ton 4 Maine this new wage otfer
means an increase of about $500, 600
annually, which is equivalent to about
per cent dividend on the company 5
capital stock, though there have been
no dividends paid for two or three
years, and it means an increase of
one cent an hour to certain classes of
| employees and a cent and a half an
| hour to other crafts.
! Trackmen, in the ranks of which
there has been a strike for several
weeks have accepted the offer, and
such strikers as desire to return to
work at the increase offered viii be
received. While the offer extends tc
all the trac kmen it was made through
committee which represented about
| four-ffths of the trackmen in the EN-
ploy of the company, and who did not
strike. Many of those who did strike
| have returned.
In the ease of the federated crafts
such as the shop men, machinists
boiler makers, blacksmiths and clerks
the offer has not seemed quite salts
factory, but they have assumed a rea
sOnable attitude toward the cOmpan,
in their negotiations and, although
they have taken strike votes within
their separate unions, they are dis
posed to leave to the Judgment O
others whether they should accept tn
offer. They referred the matter to tn
department of labor, which has a
signed Federal Conciliator Malone
to assist them in the situation. Thi
, representative of the federal govern
ment has had some conferences wit
the Poston & Maine management, an
| IS looking into all the circumstance
c that impelled the company to decid
upon an adjustment considerably IL
j der the terms Of the demands from tn
0 unions.

row as if Road Were Buttered
With Soft Soap.

What is the easiest thing in the
world to do? Some of you will say it
is eating pumpkin pie; there may be
votes for rolling dOwnhill; some peo-
pie may think it is making a mistake
in addition, or sliding down a creased
pole, or sneeZing, but we have studied
the thing out carefully and we know.
The easiest thing in the world is
putting it off till tomorrow. Why, you
can slide things off till tomorrow as if
the road were a so per cent grade but

what a man named Emerson would
call the compensation for it-nothing
in the world is any more difficult than
hauling it back again. 1t simply can't
be done. -The American Boy.

A Home Without Pain


There is scarcely a home in many
places that does not have, ready for
instant use, a bottle of Minard's Lini-
ment, because this old, reliable, creamy
liniment always brings speedy relief
from pain. It's influence is felt the
moment it is applied--and it has been
sold successfully in thousands of towns
Tor more than so years-because most
every one knows that where Minard's
Is, you will find a home without pain.
Pain of every kind gives way to a
simple Minard Liniment treatment. 1t
IS stainless, economical and clean to
Use, and is always dependable.
