NJ. Turner. They resided in Moscow
some rs years, where he was occupied
in farming and numbering to quite
an extent but on account of poor
health he sold his farm, moved to
Bingham where they lived for twelve
years BY advice of his physician,
and a desire to visit his relatives, Mr..
and Mrs. Turner took trip west.
They spent the winter of 1905 and
1906 with their son Harry at st. Paul,
Mimi. The following spring went to
Ogden. Utah, to visit with his sister,
Mrs. Richardson. From there they
went to California where he visited
with his brother, Chandler, in Bangor,
Butte Co, and Albert F. of Loyalton,
Sierra Co Visited with nephew,
Fred Bean at Smartsville, niece,
Minnie (Bean) Hill at Grass Valley,
a nephew, E. J. Turner and friends at
Oakland; went to see the ruins OF the
San Francisco earthquake; spent two
weeks at Long Beach. They returned
to Maine Sept. 1907, purchased the
place where he died, nine years ago.
Mr. Turner united with the Free VIII
Baptist church when a young man;
was person of retiring nature and
enjoyed the quiet of his home life
He Is survived by his wife and two
sons, Henry M. Turner, superintend-
ent of Roselawn cemetery, st. Paul,
Mimi, and Roscoe M. Turner, who
was at home during the last weeks
of his fathers Illness also two
grandsons. Glendon and Mylon.
Besides the two brothers mentioned
he leaves brother Wallace Turner
of Madison, sister Mrs Emma Rich
ardson of Wichita, Kan. The Oldest
sister Mrs. Frances Bean died nine
years ago, another sister Mrs. Olive
Carter of Caratunk died Oct. 10, of
last year. He was an uncle of Mrs.
A. f. Dyer of Skowhegan George
Spaulding of Caratunk and Wade
Turner OF Starks. He has other neph-
ews and nieces in the West.
The funeral took place, Wednesday,
January 16, at two O'Clock, conducted
by Henry Clay Turner
God calls our loved ones, but we lose
not wholly,
What He has given.
They live on earth in thought and
deed, as truly
AS in His Heaven"

obliged to purchase coal. He was
given permission to run his plant
without further argument until notice
to the contrary arrives.
The Skowhegan Novelty Works
burn fuel which they manufd ,ture
and their machinery is Operated by
electricity They were not obliged
to shut down for any length of time.
Lord & Caswell and Thompson &
Fox were not obliged to shut down
because of the fact that their plants
are operated by hydro-electric power.
1t will be seen, therefore, that
Skowhegan industries have suffered
very little, ii any, from the new meas
ures 1t so happens that the plants
are running under conditions which
would not be materially affected by
a saving OF the fuel supply. Monday,
however, seemed like holiday The
drug stores and restaurants only
were open. but the former were not
allowed to dispense soda water or
cigars The reason for this Is unex-
planned, and 1t is hard for some to I'M
derstand how the sale of cigars or
soda water would affect the coal
situation. But orders are orders, and
the local druggists view the situation
with a smile

W. c. T. q.

Tuesday afternoon the members of
the w. C. T. U. held their January
meeting at the Library Parlors with
Mrs Genie Weller and Mrs. Annie
Elweli as hostesses. Devotional ex-
ercises were conducted by Mrs Chas.
mckinney. Verna Abbey sang two
solos which were much enjoyed The
meeting was in charge Of Miss Louise
II. Coburn. First on the program was
a memorial exercise for the late Mrs.
Annie Pepper of Waterville, a sketch
written for the w. G. T. U. by Mrs.
Grace Coburn Smith and read by Mrs,
Emma Smith, and poem read by Mrs,
Marble, followed by the hymn, Jesus
Saviour, Pilot Me-. A short business
meeting followed, after which Miss
Coburn in her usual entertaining man
ner presented the principal subject
of the afternoon, Timely Topics. The
meeting of February IL is to be omit
ted, and the next meeting. In charge Of
Miss Dorothy Elliot, will occur Feb.
18th.

SKOWHECAN CONCERNS
= SLIGHTLY AFFECTED
Garfield's Orders Close Only Local
Stores and Barber Shops

Skowhegans industries have been
little affected by the closing orders
recently set for by DR. Garfield,
National Director of Fuel Conserva-
ton. This fact is due to no other
reason than that practically all man
ufacturing plants in town, except
those working on Government goods
are run by water power
There were those who closed how
ever. The plants of the American
Wooden Company shut down last
Thursday night expecting to keep
them closed until Wednesday, but on
strength of the orders from head
quarters operations were resumed
Monday morning. 1t Is supposed that
they are allowed to remain open be-
cause of the work on Government
cause their plants are run by water
power.
power in the plant of the Somerset
Shoe Factory, and as a result the en-
ployees OF that plant were obliged to
loaf but half a day. Permission was
granted the Maine Spinning Company
to run until further notice, since they
use water power. This permission
was granted by the Maine Fuel Ad-
ministrator. Perhaps the best argu-
ment for keeping open was presented
by e. l.. Savage of the Savage Manu-
featuring Co. He lacks nothing in
patriotism, but he told the Maine Fuel
Administration that IL obliged to shut
down his factory the making of shaw
ings would cease and he would be

Mr.. Merrill's Candidacy

We publish, elsewhere, the an
nouncement OF Edward F. Merrill as q
candidate for the office of County At
torney. Mr.. Merrill attended the
Skowhegan High School, was gradual
ed from Bowdoin in the class of 1908
and from the Harvard Law School
cum laude, in 1906. He was an edi-
tor of the HARVARD Law Review, con-
sidered among the highest Of college
honors He became a member of the
firm of Merrill & Merrill in 1906.
Altho comparatively a young man,
Mr. Merrill has already won dis
tinction in his profession. 1t is
universally recognized that the
sacrifice is great for busy lawyer to
accept the responsibilities of County
Attorney. The office is one of the
most important, and 1t is gratifying to
know that so able lawyer is willing
to become candidate therefor.

ton OF the less important to the all
today, but the safer for all peoples to-
morrow is Americas pledge to the
world The sacrifice of convenience
is the smallest contribution each OF
us is called upon to make at this time.
The enforced shutting down Of mills
and factories is the latest attack upon
the individual and corporate right to
conduct business six days a week and
every week in the year Yet, it hap
coal more than 1t does most Of the
products of industry, and 50 profits
and wages must be sacrificed for
few days to enable the fuel supply TO
catch up and the railroad tracks to be
somewhat relieved The individual
seems to lose. but society surely gains.
Moreover, American business needs to
learn to link up its interests more
closely with national welfare.
1918 Is not the year for business
as usual Until the world is safe
for democracy, which means for
homes like our own Skowhegan
homes, American business can never
again be "as usual; the unusual
must be expected and accepted. Capt.
tai, labor, material, equipment,-all
must be diverted from the non-es
sential, whenever and wherever need
ed. As good citizens we must face
the inconvenience of all this adjust
ment and even meet the losses Incl
dent thereto with smile and the
willingness to do more than our bit.
And how small thing is this con-
venience of ours, when we think OF
the greater sacrifice! l venture to
assert that in none of the Skowhegan
homes where fly the service flags,
does anyone criticise the taking off
of a few trains or complain OF the
scarcity of coal or sugar; their hearts
are somewhere in France" and their
eyes see the world crisises in truer
perspective.
So, as we look forward into 1918, let
us welcome every opportunity for sac
rifice of luxury and convenience,
of our time or our money. that will
contribute to the success of our re-
sources and those of our Allies in the
contest now on. And may God grant
that these sacrifices on the part Of the
many Americans who stay at home
shall help to make unnecessary the
greater sacrifice by those who repre-
sent us beyond the seas,
