A Tribute

Tho writer IN January, 1881, became
associated with Lysander w. Mason
in the composing department OF the
publishing house of the late l.. {. Al
len. where for many years Mace helh
the position Of foreman. Associated
with him in the business and fraternai
lines. also in the close touch of personal
friendship I knew him on the inside
and learned TO know his worth, not
only as q man. but as Il loyal and true
friend
The early life of l.. w. Mason was
that of the average farmers boy. NJ
an early age he entered the employ OF
the kennebec Journal as an apprentice,
and in that Office he mastered the de-
tail OF the craft Later he entered the
publishing house of Mr.. Allen, where
he soon rose to the position Of fore
man, holding the same until 1898. when
he resigned, and ! became his sue
cessor Mr.. Mason was man of more
than ordinary ability: he had good
command of English, and was force
full writer; he had executive ability OF
the highest order, but the best part OF
him was his generous, warm hearted
personality-he was a living exponent
of good cheer and sunshine.
He scattered seeds of kindness, his
acts of charity were many: known only
to those closest to him. Much could he

tribute:

but the team with which the Carter

drawn by single steer. This steer
was not attached to the sled by Il
yoke but Wore harness similar
though not identical With a horse s
harness. bride AMI all The bride,
however had no bit. but the reins be

ed to have been given n different sys-

dtnarily comes to animals of that
species, for instead of the plodding
pace common to oxen he was quite
lively on his feet and moved along on
n trot that in the course Of q days

spectacle number of miles.

CHURCHES AND FUEL;
hearty COOPERATION
Augusta, Me. January ;. 1919.
-n,. knnnehnc .IOurnIl.

Editor Kcnnebec journal:
ON behalf of the pastors and churcn-
ns OF Augusta, | wish to make. through
the columns OF the Journal a state
!nent as to the attitude of the churches
in the present fuel situation.
The Local Fuel Committee, through
its Chairman, Mr.. $. c. Nancy, re-
quests the cooperation OF the churches
in the following manner:
First-That they conserve coal by
consuming insSthe heating OF their
houses Of Worship 25 per cent less
through January, February and March
than they are accustomed to consume
during the same period under normal
conditions.
SecUnd-That they secure such ar
adequate supply of wood as 10 make 1t
unnecessary to burn coal from the
first of April 10 the first Of December.
Third-That the people of the vari-
Gus churches endeavor to use less coal,
substituting wood for coal where pos
shle, in the heating Of their dwelling
houses.
The Fuel Committee wishes, how
ever, that il be understood that IN the
above request there is no desire to
cripple the efficiency of the churches
in the work of their respective organi-
cations.
Therefore in sympathetic apprecia-
ton of the situation with when the
Committee and the community are
confronted, and desiring TO express
their hearty cooperation with the Com
mittee. the Churches, in the spirit Of
patriotism. which they are constantly
invoking. will enter fundamentally
into the effort for conservation as
suggested by the request and advice
OF the Fuel Committee.
Sincerely yours,
CLAYTON d. BOOTHBI.
