A NEwBURY cENTENARIAN.
Bancroft A. Bailey Once Saw Chicago a
Village of 500.

The town of Newbury boasts Of cen.
tenarian. On Sunday the seventh of
July, Bancroft Abbott Bailey passed the
century mark. He was born in Bath,
but went west with his parents when
quite young and located finally near Chi,
cago, when it was village of less than
500 inhabitants. He has seen it in
crease from that to a city of 100000
people, passing from the hardships of
pioneer life to the luxury Of modern city
conveniences in that great metropolis He
has seen two horse team stuck with a
barrel of -four and helped out with
oxen where now the traffic of one Of the
principal business streets rushes on with
ceaseless activity He has looked out
over the great Lake Michigan, and seen
the canoe of the red man on its waters,
has seen the steamboat launched on its
waves, and watched the lake traffic grow
to its present proportion. He has lived
in fear of the Indian there, and seen the
cosmopolitan population that has fol-
lowed in his tracks. When the news
came to the small village Of Chicago
that the telegraph was a success, he re.
marked to fellow workman that per
haps the system would reach them some
day and the reply was "Oh, mol It will
only run between the large Villages"
Coming on one occasion TO the then
small village, while living on the prairie
he invested % cents in the first bunch
of matches he had even seen, and on the
way home saved himself from being
burned to death in prairie fire by light
ing the grass around a gopher mound on
which he entrenched himself. He left old
New England in an OK cart and returned
in Pullman palace car. He has reared
and educated family of eleven children,
those who reached maturity being col
lege bred. Five sons became ministers,
of whom three are living, one a pastor
in Nebraska, one in Seattle, Wash, and
another in Brooklyn, n Y,
His wife died after 90 years of happy
married life and he came east to livewith
son who was then stationed in New
England He longed to see the place
where he was born, and the old Abbott
homestead at South Newbury, where he
had a distinct recollection of going for
Thanksgiving and waiting with the i'm
patience of hungry boy through what
seemed an interminably long blessing in.
voked by the grandfather Of the family
Here he met the widow of Professor G.
N. Abbott, and married her at the age
of 81.
He has spent his declining years at
South Newbury in peaceful seelusion,
reading and carrying on large CORES
pondence for which he learned to use the
typewriter in his old age. Life has not
been Retrospective altogether with him
for he has kept in touch with modern
life and reform movements. His hear.
ing is impaired, but his eyesight is re-
markably well preserved and for man
much younger he would be said to pos
sess remarkable vigor. Owing to the ILL.,
ness of his wife there was no celebration
of his birthday Sunday.

DRASTIC ORDER
ON USE OF COAL
Will Not Be Allowed in Boston Until
December / Prob
ably.

Boston, July ll.-Orders forbidding
the use of coal for heating purposes in
home or office buildings for an indefinite
period that may extend to Dec. /, were
issued yesterday by the Boston fuel com
mittee, after a conference with James j..
Storrow, New England fuel admins
traitor Those who wish heat before the
order is reseinded or modified are ad-
vised to burn wood
The order was issued by David A. FL
lis, chairman of the local committee, fol-
lowing conference with James J. Stor-
row, fuel administrator for New Eng
land, and with it came the suggestion
that house owners and others take steps
Immediately to lay in stocks of wood.
The order follows;
"The coal situation is so threatening
that the federal fuel committee of Bos-
ton feels, after a conference with James
y. Storrow, New England fuel admin
istrator, that it ought to issue, and here.
by does issue, an order forbidding the
use of coal for general heating purposes
until otherwise ordered.
ut is not unlikely that this order may
have to be kept in force until Dec. next,
and it behooyes householders, therefore.
and others who feel it necessary to have
fires before that date, to take steps
promptly to meet this possible situation.
"The best way is to buy wood i'm.
mediately and not delay such purchase
until next month, or until next fall, but
to do it right now so that If coal ex-
igencies require the continuance of this
order and the forbidding of any use of
coal for general heating purposes until
still later date, those who desire or
require to have their furnaces started
before that date may not suffer griev.

CABOT
Grand Celebration in Cabot on Fourth Of
July.

July.
One of the largest gatherings seen for
several years in Cabot was on Thursday
July A, when from all nearby towns and
some from far away came in autos, car.
riages, horseback and on foot to pay
just tribute and homage to our nations
birthday. Although somewhat different
in spirit than in former years, when all
countries were at peace and families
were all united at home, the Fourth Of
July was considered a holiday and jolly
day. This year many families were
broken up by the terrible war, which all
had hoped and prayed would be at an
end, and the boys be home to help cele-
brate the one day Of all the year, July A..
At 1880 a. m a street parade was
formed, headed by Marshfeld band,
which marched up Main street, reaching
nearly half its length, and encircled the
park, the different societies being aptly
represented. Following the band were
carriages and autos, appropriately dec
Grated, the G. A. R., Red Cross, prize
calf, Huns, Studebaker auto, farmerette
wagon, carrying the pig which was do
mated by two parties, horseback riders,
campfire girls, hayseeds, steer drawing
a young couple, pony and young couple,
and many other oddities.
AT noon the !. o. G. I. served boun-
tiful dinner, donated by the townspeople,
in their hall, TO over 300 people, the Ia.
bles and hall being lastly decorated
with ferns and daisies At 2 p. m. a
few field sports were carried out, tug
of war, potato race, etc. AT 2:30 the
crowd mostly gathered in front of the
schoolhouse TO listen to message by
President Wilson read by w. Walker,
after which ex Mayor Burt of Burling-
ton gave very earnest and patriotic
talk, which was highly appreciated by
all and was loudly applauded many
times. He referred very teelingly to the
fathers and mothers whose boys were
far away over the wide ocean, not know
ing whether they were facing the cannon
balls and bullets or down in the trenches,
and how they would many times ask
themselves, Where is our boy to-day |!
When will he come homer" little chill
dren, too, questioning When will papa
Gomez" He also paid honorable tribute
Of respect TO the Red Cross by saying it
was one Of the greatest organizations of
the world, closing his remarks with a
fine poem.
Following was the sale Of the regis.
tered Holstein calf donated by Angus
Smith to the Red Cross. Mason Chester
secured the calf, but he announced that
it would be sold at auction to the high

THE POWER OF AN IDEA

~ HE helm is a little thing
VI yet it guides the ship to
safety or disaster. An
idea may at first not seem of
great Importance yet it may
shape the course of men and
nations. Men seldom attain an
aim unless first they have cher
ished that aim and have guided
for the goal. The whole war is
due to the German ideal of
conquest. The root of all the
trouble reaches back to the
Hun philosophers who preach
ed the gospel of ruthlessness.
Safety for the world is in the
honorable American ideal of
democraey-the right of a peo-
pie to govern themselves. The
war situation affords a striking
illustration of how principle
once entertained and accepted
becomes of far reaching power.
The world must be on guard to
the end that its philosophy
makes no mistake. The tree
with the bitter fruits should be
handled before its seed has
been spread.
