Paragon Button Corporation appears
of record or has been introduced in
this case, the last conveyance of this
so called shoe factory property be-
ing a deed from Paul +. Dusha to
the Medomak Holding Corpora ton,
undated but recorded August %,
1920. This latter fact has not influ-
enced our decision, because we have
treated the case as if the Paragon
Button Corporation owned the fee to
the reservoir and that it's rights were
co-extensive with the rights estab-
lshed in the town deed, for obviously
the rights of the present grantee de-
rived from the town can be no great
er than the original rights Of the
town itself.
whether the easement granted to
the Waldoboro Water Co. may be
terminated or not Is question for
our consideration, for we are dealing
with the situation as it exists at
this time and as it existed at
the time of the petition and hearing,
no change having subsequently &C.
cured; nor is it necessary for us to
consider whether the rights of the
water company or Others having in
terests in the reservoir may be petit
toned or apportioned.
hdNlHS given thorough CoHSiucl
ton to the evidence submitted to us,
we conclude that the proposed in
crease of one dollar in the first fau-
Get rate of the Waldoboro Water Co..
filed in the proposed schedule, Is not
justified and should be denied.
1.-The other increases for services
proposed In the same schedule, other
than the first faucet charge, and the
establishment of rates for services
not now specifically comprehended in
the company's rate schedule, and the
rates proposed for large users such
as the Paragon Button Corporation,
should'be allowed with some modifi-
cations

no end of speculation as to what she

where she was bound. Several boat

Tuesday boats were plying to and

Don't Forget Nov. 10,
F or-Get-Me-Not' Day
Drive to Aid Disabled
War Veterans.

Just five years ago the great Armis-
tice took place, when millions OF fight
ing men laid down their swords and
rifles and prepared to return to their
homes and f1resides, to the loving
arms and hearts of the dear ones that
waited anXiously for their safe home
coming. Millions of fighting men
were left behing in Flanders and the
Argonne and Chateau-Thiery, and the
other great battlefields Of Europe,
dead from battle conflict. Still hun
dreds of thousands of others, the
manned, blinded and wounded men,
were left behind in hospitals through
out Europe; where they remained for
many months, some of them dying,
and others eventually being moved to
institutions and hospitals of the Unit
ed States, to fight out the battles of
1917 and 1918.
Many thousands of these men re-
main in hospitals all over the United
States, grim SCARED bodies of what
had once been men in all the. vigor
and youth of manhood. Still more OF
them are back in civilian life, fighting
against almost unsurmountable odds,
to regain their places as citizens and
self-reliant members of this great Re-
public There are more than 100000
American disabled and wounded vet
Grams of the World war in the United
States; and many thousands of them
are utterly helpless, and practically
all of them somewhat dependent on
the service Of the Government and the
will of the American people.
Through their great national or
ganization, the Disabled American
Veterans of the World War, these bat
tle-scarred heroes of the United
States are to hold their annual ma
tional Forget-Me-Not Day" drive Oh
Saturday, Nov. 10. Several hundred
cities and towns are to conduct cam
paign on that date; and this city is 10
be one of the communities in which
the great drive is to be held. Our peo-
pie must give this great day serious
and favorable consideration coming
as it does on the eve of Armistice Day
anniversary, when all of us breathe
a prayer of Thanksgiving, as we re-
member Armistice Day as the day on
which the great war ended. Surely it
has not ended the war for these many
thousands of our American boys, who
toss on cots in every community in
this nation of ours, and who can
never forget the days and months am
years of torture and agony through
which they have already gone and are
yet to exist in.
