Cant. ie Meitour's Lecture

Capt. Jean B. LIE Meitour Of the
French Army addressed a most in
terested and enthusiastic audience
at the Opera House Tuesday eve
ming. under the auspices Of Simon
Peters Post, American Legion. He
has all the fire and eloquence Of the
traditional French orator, and a very
thorough understanding Of his SUBJ
ject. He very alphabetically traced
the early life and training Of Marshal
Foch, which seemed almost from the
first to have been with view to fit
ting him for the great task which
destiny finally assigepd him. The re-
lations Of Foch, the devout church,
man and Clemenceau. the greatest
ATHEIST Of modern times were deli
cately described.
The supreme strategy and mas
terry Of the Allied generalissimo over
the greatest military minds of Ger
many, and the succeeding steps in
the continuous procession of driving
blows that finally wore out and de-
feated the enemy were explained so
clearly that there was no question as
to who and what won the war. He
pronounced a splendid eulogy Of the
American soldier and Of the 103rd In
fantry that fairly brought his audi
ence to their feet.
Capt. LIE Meitour was the guest Of
Col. and Mrs. Roy L. Marston during
his stay in Skowhegan. Mr.. and Mrs.
Willard H. Cummings entertained
him at supper after the lecture. In
recognition of the fact that Co. E of
the 103rd Infantry lost more men
than any other company in the 2Sth
Division. the French Government
has designated Capt. LIE Meitour to
confer the Memorial Certificates Of
Honor to the next of kin Of the Som
erset heros on Washington's birth
DAY at Skowhegan. A citizens COM
mittee is to be appointed to handle
the arrangements together with a
committee from the American Lee
gion.
The wire gang of the Central
Maine Power Co. is busily employed
thawing out frozen water systems.
The warm weather has driven the
frost down around the pipes where
the systems were put in shallow
and a great many freeze-ups have
resulted. 1t is suggested by those
who have had experience that the
water be allowed to run a little and
there will be less freezing. The en-
tire water supply of city water was
cut off Tuesday on Pleasant street.
Ed Merchant. one of the r. F. D.
mail carriers who lives on the Tobey
farm on the Middle road. was exhibit
ing the hide Of bob cat which he
shot recently when the cat was try
ing to get in the chicken house. 1t
is unusual for these animals to work
so close in to town.
Gertrude Lillian Roy, the little
daughter of Garland Roy Of Nor
ridgework, passed away Tuesday at
the home of her parents. The little
girl was not quite two years of age.
The funeral arrangements have not
been made. pending the arrival of
some out-of-town relatives.

Film on Teeth
Is What Wrecks Them

Dental science has found that most tooth
troubles are due to Shiny film. You can feel
it with your tongue.
That film clings to the teeth. 1t gets be-

The tooth brush doesn't end it. The ordinary
dentifrice cannot dissolve it. So its damage

PREACHING AND PRACTICE

The Buy at Home" slogan should
be changed 10 Buy at Home When
Possible" This matter OF patronizing
home industry has several angles not
altogether plain except on close inspec-
ton. A lot of fellows that raise the
cry against outside buying are the
worst sinners themselves also every
one knows that il Is not possible TO
buy everything ut home and the home
markets can claim our patronage only
so long as II furnishes what we need
at prices at least as reasonable as OBJ.
tain in outside markets. This last is
law in the field OF economics and there
Is no use trying to sldestep 1t.
There are Deming business men who
would be very angry to learn of a citi-
zen importing the labor and materials
for building and furnishing a home.
who do not hesitate to buy what they,
themselves or their families, desire In
foreign markets Some win even buy
away from home when they know they
will pay more, but the novelty OF the
thing appeals to them-sort OF gam
bling spirit.

and they resent II terribly when some
one outside the bunch gets an idea.

FAvORs BUYING WATER Plant

Editor Deming Graphic:
look at the proposal TO buy the
water plant from the standpoint Of a
fire insurance agent, as well as from
the more general viewpoint OF the citi-
zen and taxpayer who desires TO see
the city beautified by an abundant and
cheap water supply. Replacing the old
mains and installing more fire plugs
will mean the reduction OF fire insur-
ance rate from a third 10 half OF the
present rate. The mains have TO be
replaced and the money to replace them
will come directly or indirectly from
the taxpayers; 1t is better to own what
must be paid for. The present high
water rent on fire plugs can then be
reduced TO the bare cost OF installation
This rental must he paid on each plug
now, whether drop Of water is drawn
from IL or not.
Word received from leading citizens
of Douglas, Ariz.; albuquerque and
Las Vegas indicate very strongly that
these communities find owning their
own water works to be an unqualified
benefit.
We ought to own our own water
plant, is my humble opinion.
