of the four all proved themselves a
success. 1t was the occasion Of the
annual Junior exhibition and the

themselves worthy followers of their
predecessors. Mrs. Kathleen z. Oak

The scene was that of a dramatic
booking office and various perform
ers appeared before the manager and
his stenogra pher the latter being the
initial artist. These parts were TAX

Memorial Day Services

Under the auspices Of Russell Post.
No. SO, G. A. r.. very interesting pa
troitic exercises were held Friday
afternoon in Skowhegan Opera house.
Escorting the ex.soldiers and the
members Of the Relief Corp from
Grand Army hall was the Regimental
Band and this organization played
at the Opera house as the initial
number Of the entertainment.
The address Of The day was given
by Lyman L. Walton, an honorary
member of Russell Post Of this place
and a prominent attorney Of Somer-
set county. Mr.. Walton is we'll known
locally as a public speaker and on
this occasion he interested not only
the soldier Of the Civil War and
those Of the world war, but the large
concourse Of people present at the
exercises.
One Of the leading points in his
address was his insistence that the
spirit that inspired the Rebellion was
the same AZ that which has since
plunged the whole world in Wharf.-The
desire to overpower and to rule. He
emphasized the desperation Of the
conflict between tho forces fighting
for the Union and those opposing. He
mentioned the fact that during the
darkest days Of the war. when 1t
looked as though the Confederacy
would be recognized by European
powers. President Lincoln appointed
a day Of fasting and prayer, which
occurred in the month Of August. He
explained how ours was Ut that time
the only large nation where the peo.
pie were free to choose their own
rulers and to have freedom in tho
largest sense, while the rest Of the
world supported and were governed
in a greater or less cruel manu-r ~
cars. kaisers. emperors and kings.
and clearly showed the difference be.
tween such systems of government.
He briefly sketched the wonderful
progress Of the country after tho I'M
conditional surrender Of the Rebel
armies and how quickly the people of
other nations caught the spirit of
our free institution. He mentioned
our glorious. unselflsh record n
