Not on State Records.

The Associated Press dispatches OF
Jan. 20 in announcing deaths among
the American soldiers in France, gave
the name of Harold b. Rogers OF Rich
mond, Me. The party is not known in
that place. The Rockland Courier
Gazette in a recent issue had the fol-
lowing paragraph on the matter:
An American soldier who died in
France last week was listed in the
Sunday newspapers as Harold b. Rog-
ers of Richmond, Me. 1t may be only a
coincidence, but Harold Rogers of
Rocllland Me, is also in the service
and is believed to be in France. Last
heard from some weeks ago he was at
Fort Slocum. tuberculosis was given
as the cause of the Richmond
DEATH"
Inquiry at the office of Adjutant
General George Mel. Presson, the
provost marshal of Maine, discloses no
such name on the list of Maine men
volunteering or drafted in this State.
If it is Maine man, he has enlisted
from some other state, as has been the
case with scores.

dren of Maine. should he given 10
pupils as soon as they own the %
cent Thrift Stamp or not until they
possess the larger War Savings Stamp
costing slightly more than 81. 1t was
decided. however. that the boy or girl
who has begun saving for the benefit
of our country by investing even Nert
small amount in the stamps should be
given the same recognition as mem
Der of the school savings organization
as if he had already reached the goal
of the larger stamp.
In addition to the buttons Mr..
Starkey has had made up certificate
of credit in diploma form which will be
issued to every school or Schoolroom
as soon as a report is received from
the teacher that all the children under
her charge are owners OF Thrift
Stamps in other words 100 per cent
school in the War Savings orGaniza
ton. The certificate contains the head
ing National War Savings and Thrift
Movement" Under this i'll the center
| is the Torch of Liberty, on one side of
which are the letters ". :. $, and on
the other the year 1918. It further
states that it is granted i'll recognition
OF the fact that 100 per cent of the
| pupils in the school are in the service
of their country. There is space for
filling in the name and grade of the
school and of the town or city. It
will be signed by Mr.. Brown as state
director and by Mr.. Starkey as his as
sistant and is suitable for framing to
become permanent adornment of the
schoolroom wall.
Already as many as a dozen schools
are known to be eligible to receive this
certificate of credit and no doubt many
others will very shortly make similar
report Mr.. Starkey is confident that
before the end Of the year there will be
few schools which are not entitled TO
this award of merit as evidence of the
patriotic interest of the children.
