Memorial Day FittingIy Observed

Memorial Day has again come into Its
own. Not that it has ever failed of a
faithful observance by those to whom
the carrying out of it's intent was espe-
cially committed. But a generation
which had practically not known war,
and had failed fully to sense the signifi-
canoe of Memorial Day, has been awak-
ened to an appreciation Of the opportu-
nifty afforded by the day, and anew
realizes the impressiveness of its dis
tinctive ceremonies.
At South Paris, as last year, the day
had an added interest and significance
through the participation in its ceremo-
pies of a considerable number of the
boys of the American Legion.
The exercises of the forenoon were in
charge of VIM. K. Kimbsll Post, G.. A.
r., and were in much the same form as
usual. Headed by drum corps, the
procession started from Grand Army
Hall at 10 O'Clock. The boys of the
American Legion, about thirty of them,
acted as escort. Fourteen or fifteen
members of Wm. K. Kimbsll Post were
in the procession, and while q few of
them rode, most of them made the march
on foot. The flag was carried as in the
past by Isaac Monk, who has been color
bearer for many years, though this time
he was assisted by his son, A. G.. Monk.
The Ladies of the G.. A. X. and the Sons
of Veterans were we'll represented, and
there were several hundred school chill
dren in line.
At Riverside Cemetery prayer was
offered by Rev. D. F. Faulkner, selec-
tiou was sung by the Eolian Quartette,
and Lipcoln's Gettysburg address was
read BY Rev. C. w. Rogers, followed by
the decoration of the soldiers graves.
w. s. Starbird presided at the after
noon exercises, which were held in
Grange Hall. Several patriotic selec-
tions were rendered by Sbaw's Orchestra.
Prayer was offered by Rev. c. W. Rog-
ers, and q selection was sung by the
Eolian Quartette, with Mrs. Morton at
the piano.
Mr.. Starbird in his opening remarks
gave the names of four comrades OF VIM
K. Kimball Post who have died during
the year. He especially welcomed the
memb bers of the American Legion to
take up the work of the day which the
old veterans are about to lay down.
Lieut.. Earle Clifford, called upon by
the chairman, spoke briefly regarding
the American Legion and it's intents and
purposes.
Gen. Logan's order for the observance
of the first Memorial Day, in 1868, was
read by Rev. D. F. Faulkner.
Rev. j. L. Wilson of the South Paris
Baptist church gave the address of thu
day, which was appropriate and inspir
ing. :.
We love to think of our country, sale
Mr.. Wilson, as being the greatest ant
best on earth, and what makes 1t that !!
It's idealism. Mr.. Wilson paid tribute
TO the soldiers of our several wars, ant
iustanced the patriotism almost univer
sally shown during our participation y
the world war, and the sordidness ant
greed display ed in the peace following
| Il is our work to build out OF the chao
of the reconstruction period nev
world of human brotherhood.

Big Pie OF Lumber Burned.
FIRE IN MASON MANUFACTURING CO.
YARD CAUSES LARGE LOSS.

South Paris had its most destructiv,
hre In some years Monday afternoon
when IN area of piles Of sawed lumber
In the yard of the Mason Manufacturing
Co. was burned. The fire started be-
side the railroad, about In the middle ol
the long rows of piles Of lumber stucl
for seasoning, which extends from neal
the factory down to the river bank. II
was discovered few minutes after the
passage of the $3.50 passenger train, snG
was one of several fires which were
burning beside the track within q mile
or 80 south Of the village. The alarm
was given by the whistle of the Mason
Manufacturing Co. shortly before four
o'clock.
The lumber piles were soon burning
furiously, and as there was almost a
solid block of lumber piles extending
through the yard, and breeze was
blowing from the location of the blaze
diagonally across the yard, the situa-
tion looked dangerous, not only for
the lumber but for the factory as
well, and even for other property In
the village.
Fortunately the breeze moderated
somewhat after q while. The f1remen,
though hampered by lack of water
pressure, made gallant fight, and
wisely confined their efforts to holding
the blaze from spreading up or across
the yard. In a southerly direction it
simply burned itself ont, cleaning up
the lumber until it reached a gap in
the pile where the yard narrows up by
the river bank.
The Norway fire department was
called for to assist, and arrived about
an hour after the fire was started, and
laid two lines of hose from bydrapts on
the other side of the railroad.
A large crowd Of spectators from the
two towns gathered, mainly on the
grounds of the Burnham & Morrill, Co.
across the railroad, where q good view
of the blaze was to be had. Even there
it was so hot that they were driven back
some distance from the bank, and how
the firemen stood 1t so near the blaze,
even with such protection as they could
get from doors and other heat-shields,
was q mystery.
An hour and half of work made it
evident that the blaze was under control
and Its spread checked.
The lumber destroyed was both pine
and hardwood. The Democrat has not
been able to get even an approximate
estimate of its amount, but the loss will
be many thousands of dollars. The
factory is also likely to be more or less
disturbed In its operation by the loss of
so much lumber.
While the blaze looked most danger
Ous, call was sent to Lewiston for help,
but no fiat car was available on which
an engine could be loaded. A call was
then made on Portland, and one Of the
assistant fire chiefs arrived here by
motor Car a little before six O'Clock. At
the time he left Portland he said they
were loading apparatus, but before they
could get away from the city the fire
was under control here, and the call
was cancelled.
While the fire was burning, larger or
smaller fires were also burning along the
railroad at several points between
Lewiston Junction and South Paris, and
track crews were sent out to look after
them. No extensive damage was done
by them.
