COMMENT BY COUNTY
DIRECTOR MERRILL
Somerset Did Not Reach Quota

Somerset County as a whole did
very we'll indeed in the recent drive
for War Savings. The quota was
$672.000 Before the drive started
$75 900 worth OF stamps had been sold.
The various towns in the county to
date have turned in returns showing
s39O,OOO worth of Stamps sold and
subscribed l feel that 1t is perfect
ly safe to assume that of the $4,000
already sold, $4,000 is not included
in the $390,000. From these figures
| feel certain that Somerset county
has sold and pledged War Savings
Stamps to an amound of $425,OOO
Over 100000 of the shortage can be
found in the towns of Skowhegan,
Pittsfield and Fairfield. When the
shortage in each of these towns is
compared with its population, l feel
that the last drive has established as
fact, that $4,000 per capita is about
all that community can take up in
War Savings Stamps, where the maxi
mum to one person is 100000 While
Skowhegan is far behind its quota, yet
they have approximated $4,000 per
capita and should be given credit for
that.
| believe that as result OF this
drive the people will discover what an
attractive investment War Savings
Stamps are and that when the re-
turns for the full year are in, Somer-
set County will approximate its quota.
While numerous towns in the coun-
ty took their quota, and while to each
chairman full credit should be given
for what he did, l believe that special
mention should be made of the work
of Hon. Frank H. Holley of North
Anson, who not only took the chair
manship of his own town, but as
sumed the responsibility for the towns
of Starks and Embden and succeeded
in putting over the full quota in each
of the towns and had margin OF five
Thousand dollars to spare.
The task of raising approximately
one half million dollars in this way
has been a difficult one and | wish
to express my thanks to every worker
in the County for their assistance in
this great work.
EDWARD F. MERRILL,
County Director.

Feast With Mr.. Hoover

The following is an extract from a
letter written by DR.. George Otis
Smith, recently received by Skowhe-
gan relatives:
Last night I ATTENDED a dinner Of
the mining engineers at the Food Ad-
ministration Cafeteria. Mr.. Hoover
made the best speech | have heard
him make. One of his women chiefs
(not chefs) engineered the dinner and
was ordered "Out of the Kitchen to
make a speech--in which she referred
to there being no nobler work for wo-
men than feeding men, except to feed
a man which she had never done. (Her
name is Miss Somebody Mr.. Hoo
yer himself had good news to report.
We have saved 80 per cent of our
wheat usually consumed, and sent to
Europe Barring accidents, we ought
to be able to give England and France
white bread next year We nearly
doubled England's meat allowance
inst when her army was heavily hit
and so helped her stand the blow at
home. He hopes with the food this
next year we can add greatly to the
morale of our allies. The children
are raising figs all over the country
and one of his friends has jokingly
warned him that the figs may overrun
our country as the rabbits have Aus
tralia. Hoover is all right and
seems in good health at the present
time.

OF Interest to Our Subscribers

For many years, we have printed

Gently installed system whereby this
custom has been discontinud. II was
in some ways useful in assisting the
subscriber to a knowledge of when his
subscription fell due. In place OF
this, we have adopted the custom of
sending a notice five days before the
expiration of every subscription.
The principal change in our sub
scription records consists in the in
PRODUCTION of a card index. These
cards, about 5000 in all, each bearing
the name and address OF subscriber,
are filed in alphabetical order. The
expiration date and other necessary
notations are made on these cards.
They permit of practically a ledger
account with every subscriber.
One decided advantage is the ability
under the present system, of finding
the card account Of every subscriber,
regardless of the address. We were
constantly in receipt of postal cards
and letters calling for change of ad-
dress or asking some question about
subscriptions where the accurate ad-
dress was not given Under the sys-
tenn as previously kept. it was prac-
tically impossible. under those cir
cumstances to find the subscribers

II was work of considerable mag
nitude to change over from one syS-
TEN 10 the other, and in the process
rather more than the usual number OF
mistakes were inevitable We hope
our subscribers will exercise charity
and patience with us until the new
system gets to running smoothly. We
are very sure that, ultimately, far
less errors will occur than under the
old method

ia and there he participated in what
was destined to be his last battle, the
Battle of the Wilderness. 1t was
there that he received the wound, a
bullet through the Jaw. which neces-
STATED his removal to the hospital
for some time. His entire service
covered three years and two months
and his final discharge was received
in June 1864 That same month he
came back to Skowhegan and there
resumed operations SO long hindered
by the horrible conflict of war and in
the sunlight of peace became once
more a tiller of the soil, with know
ledge that he had served faithfully
and well in his country's cause.
On the thirteenth Of October 1866,
Mr.. Weston married Miss Clymena
Parker, the daughter of Harrison
Parker of Fairfield. For many years
the couple lived upon the nne farm
in the Bigelow Hill neighborhood,.
now occupied by L. G. Trafton, but
for fourteen years have resided in

Ave. Mr.. Westons social activities
have largely been confined to Grand
Army events and three times he has
served Russell Post as its efficient
commander. He attends the Gen.
tenary M. E. Church, together with
Mrs. Weston, who is member of
that religious denomination. They
have been the parents of three chill
dren, Archie Weston, Mrs. Elmer E.
Harris and Miss Lila Weston. all of
whom reside In Skowhegan.

Fox Families Mt the Cleveland Farm

There are two litters of little foxes,
five in all. at the Cleveland & Malbon
fox farm on the DR. Mann road. They
were born about five weeks ago. Very
comfortable homes had been provided,
but the mothers refused to make use
of them The ground within the pen
is completely covered with wire net
ting, but the mother foxes found a lap
in the wire, worked under it and dug
dens deep down in the earth. The
objection to this custom is that the
little foxes cannot be watched and
cared for as the proprietors would
wish to do Moreover, there is al
ways some danger that the mother
may continue her digging and make
an exit from the den outside of the
wire enclosure. The proprietors,
Alton Cleveland and Ray Malbon went
to work and dug both families out,
finding very intricate and extensive
system of connecting run ways, which
the foxes had been digging The
mothers with their little families have
since been compelled to make use of
the houses provided for them.
This fox ranch was established by
the late Dr. kincaid in company with
Alton Cleveland Before his death
however. the doctor sold his half in
terest to Ray Malbon, Mrs. Cleve-
lands brother. Cleveland & Malbon
would like to dispose of the young
foxes to parties who would build pens
on their land and employ them to care
for the growing stock.

Soldier Wants Maine Farm

Early in the spring. the H. S.
Thomas Farm Agency received let
ter from John r. Knowall, who was at
the time in a hospital in Paris. Mr..
Knowall was anxious to purchase a
farm in Maine. He seems to have
been a Canadian who took service in
an aviation corps In more recent
letter MAY 28) he writes that he Is
the only survivor of his escadrille. 1t
appears that he, himself, had been
wounded to some extent but that he
expects his discharge as soon as he
is able to leave the hospital In his
last letter above referred to, he
writes:
Il really feel ashamed OF my
self for living. when all OF my
comrades have given their lives
in the service. These thoughts
seem to have opened up my old
wound, and | am very much
afraid | cant get away from

A Correction

In our tabular statement, the vote

lished in last weeks issue, we gave
the vote of Mr. Bemis in Athens as
II. This should have been Z We
had our figures on what we suppose
was the very best authority. but they

There was also an error in our tabu-
lar statement as to the returns from

Mr. Lawrence received more votes
than any other candidate for any Of
