WALTER c. SHAW

Walter Curtis Shaw died at his home
in Elmwood, Mass, last Friday. He was
born in Elmwood Aug 9, 1852. He re-
ceiyed his education at the East Bridge
water High school and the Bridgewater
Academy. He learned the cabinet max
ers' trade and engaged in that business
several years, leaving it to become a
member of the firm of S. Shaw & Co.,
shoe manufacturers, of Elmwood. Later
he became member of the firm of Nc
Elwain & Shaw of Bridgewater. Later he
took the position as superintendent with
the firm of Preston & Keith of Campello.
From there he came to Freeport, where
he was five years superintendent of the
factory of A. w. Shaw. In 1908 he came
to Belfast as superintendent with Leon
ard & Barrows, where he remained until
i'll health compelled him to resign. Some
of the happiest years of his life were
spent in Belfast and he frequently said
during his illness 1--WE can never repay
the people of Belfast for the many kind
nesses extended to us during our afflic-
tions" He was always much interested
in nature and agricultural pursuits and
planned, when he was too old for the
shoe business, to engage in farming. His
life in Belfast will testify to his worthy
character and ideal relations with his
family. He sustained shock Dec. %,
1917, from which he recovered sufficient
ly to enable him to return to his old home
in Elmwood, where for little while he
was very happy amid old friends and ia
miliar scenes, but Aug. 30th he sustained
a second shock from which he never rail-
lied. He is survived by his widow, for
merly M. Alice Edison of Elmwood, son,
Richard Edison Shaw of Manila, +. l.,
and a daughter, Marjorie, wife OF DR..
Paul Rexford Smith of Belfast, who is at
home for the present. The funeral was
held at his late residence, Rev. Harold
Gustafson officiating. His two favorite
hymns "Lead Kindly Light" and "Abide
With Me-" were sung. A beautiful floral
tribute was received from Leonard & Bar
rows and many others from relatives and
friends.

Belfast Has Clean Milk.

Having made thorough investigation
of the conditions of the milk trade of the
city, am pleased to be able to say that
all of the milk sold in Belfast at the
present time is being produced and handled
under reasonably clean and sanitary con-
ditions.
irresponsible parties have said that the
milkmen have made practice of refill
ing dirty bottles. l have been unable to
find any evidence to show that they have
done this in even a single instance. All
the foundation there has been for such a
report is found in the fact that one of the
milkmen sells much more milk than he
produces. Such milk is bought from
other farmers in cans. A part of this
has to be transferred from the cans to
bottles to meet the demands of his trade,
but he brings supply of clean, sterllized
bottles in which to deliver such milk.
While milk can be, and is, delivered
reasonably clean in open measure, the
only absolutely sanitary method of hand
ling it is in sealed bottles that have been
sterilized before being filled.
The law on this is SO strict and the
penalty so severe that any man who
wished to keep his trade would not dare
to refill dirty bottles, even if he wished.
Both of the creameries are kept clean
and sanitary. Milk and cream are pas
teurized and steam is used as sterilizing
agent Their product is pure and whole
some.
If the consumer will use the same care
and caution that the milkmen are using
all of the milk used in the home should
be safe to use in any quantity.
Keep milk and cream covered from the
air at all times AID never put it into any
kind of a retainer that has not been
sterilized by steam or boiling water or
some good chemical disinfectant.
Respectfully,
E. C. Dow, Inspector.

The New Belfast Fair.

Don't forget the dates of September
10th and 18th. This association now mas
one hundred and fifty stockholders and
all are nullinq to make this live associa-
ton.
This year the fair management has
some especially good features to offer to
it's patrons.
In the first place the grounds are going
to be in better shape than they have ever
been before.
At ten o'clock a. m. on both days a
tractor blowing contest and exhibition
will be given and an effort will be made
to plow an acre of ground in fifty minutes.
Immediately following the tractor con-
test will be the horse and oxen pulling
contests.
A good poultry show will be in evi-
dence. The exhibition hall will have a
canning exhibit, ladies' fancywork de-
partment, agricultural exhibit, University
of Maine agricultural exhibit and other
local exhibits to offer.
The Belfast Band will be in attendance
on each day with Charles Hammons, solo,
list, who will render popular and patriotic
songs before the grandstands This is a
custom that is being carried out all over
the country at the fairs but none of the
singers have anything on "Charlie."
G. A. r. Veterans, sailors and soldiers
will be admitted free on both days.
There will be good horse racing with F.
N. Vining of ST. Albans starter. The
races will be conducted under the most
modern methods. AS soon as the first
heat is called the other races will be called
so that there will be no delay in the race
program. There has always been too
much delay between heats but the fair
management is positively going to remedy
this condition this year. Already more
horses have been entered for this event
than there was in attendance last year
and some especially good racing may be
expected.
On Tuesday, the first race will be 80
pace, 2.27 trot, purse of S125, with 13 en-
tries; second race 2.2O pace, 2.17 trot,
with II entries; third race, farmers race,
trot and pace, Waldo county horses with
out records, purse S25, with entries.
On Wednesday the first race will be
2.25 pace, 2.22 trot, purse s125, with II
entries; second race 2. 16 pace, 213 trot,
purse S125, with II entries; third race,
2.35 pace, 232 trot, purse $125, with l3
entries.

The Third Maine Regiment.

Wednesday evening the non-commis-
stoned officers school was opened at the
Municipal Court rooms in the city and
will be continued during the time that
the Third Maine remains in Belfast. At
these schools the commissioned officers
are the instructors and the men 60 over
the work of the drills and learn the
movements and the commands and by
blackboards and blocks are able to do
considerable field work.
The election of a second lieutenant to
fill the vacancy caused by the disquali-
fication of Melvin o. Dickey by reason
of his age, will take place tomorrow,
Friday, evening at o'clock, Captain
Orrin j. Dickey presiding. The three
candidates are Sergt. Basil F. Allen,
Sergt. Harold S. McKeen and Corporal
Raymond B. Dyer. All are popular men
in the Company.
Two men left the Company in the draft
Tuesday, Harold S. Kimball and Carleton
Mcintyre, and Wednesday one member,
George Irving Littlefield of Stockton
Springs. Recruits are still coming into
the Company and as soon as there is a
call for the movement of the Company it
is expected that there will be no difficulty
in filling it to war strength.
Since the Company was organized they
have been dependent upon the various
societies in the city for the loan of the
colors for the purpose OF marching and
street work and there is golden oppor-
tunity for some public-spirited citizen or
citizens to present this volunteer Com
pany with a suitable flag for this purpose.
The expense would not be great and it
would save the embarrassment of borrow
ing since practically all the street work
done by the Company has been for the
draft contingent and for the public events
in the city.
1t is expected that the balls which
have been given in the Belfast Opera
House for the complimentary send off to
the boys will be resumed before the next
delegation 60 out. These have been very
pleasant affairs and were discontinued at
the request of the Mayor in view of the
fact that scarlet fever was prevalent in
the city, but the situation has now cleared.
Company drills are being held only
once each week for the present at the
Belfast Opera House on Friday evenings
from seven to ten and are largely attend
ed. There is exceptionally good interest.
