CHARLES coNY

After a long life which has ever
been marked by kindlines3 to all
with whom he came in contact,
Charles Cony passed away quite
suddenly at o'clock Saturday even
ing at his home on the West River
road, in the same house which was
built by his maternal grandfather
over two centuries Ago, and whei @
Mr.. Cony was born SO years ago the
third day of August. Mr.. Cony was
one of the most highly respected OF
the older citizens of this community
where he has lived and made his in
fiuence felt for four score and eight
years. His was a noble character
and there will be a host of friends
and acquaintances, who were just rs
certainly his friends, who will be
saddened to learn of his passing.
Sixty-three years aSo Charles
Cony was united in marriage with
Mary A. Stone of Augusta, and this
loyal wife who has shared with him
all of the fullness and richness of a
goodly life in the place of their birth,
survives him. He is also survived 10y
two daughters, Frs. Fred HayWaf q
and Mrs. Linwood Dutton, both OF
this City. There are three grand
children, Rex Church. Theo Dutton
ana lnelllld lOui SA~>
grandchildren, all of Augusta.
The home on the West River road
where Charles Cony was born AID
where on Saturday evening he passtd
to the Great Beyond, was built by ms
grandfather on his mothers side,
George Reed, who was one OF the
earlier settlers of Augusta, coming
here from Taunton, Mass, selecting
the site and afterWard bringing inc
hand forged nails and bricks which
he had made with his own hands 10
the homestead site on the high banN
of the Kenncbec river.
This venerable gentleman fouSht
for the independence Of the colonies
in. the revolutionary war, ana IN ire
home which has stood for over TWO
hundred years, are many momehtots
and relics of this early settler and
ancestor. who died in $40 at the aGe
of IS years, and it is something OF a
| coincidence that the grandson,
| Charles Cony. also attained the sane
age before his life was drawn to an
end.
In his earlier years. Mr.. Cony
worked as a carpenter and JOINER
but later returned to the soil ana Tor
MANY years farmcd the lands OF MS
! fcrefathers. For many wears now,
the grandson, Rex Church. and Ms
family, have lived on the home place
with Mr.. and Mrs. Cony..
Mr.. Cony was a believer In the
spiritralist faith. The late Mr.. Colv
and his wife lived good sweet lives
and in the later mellow years inc,
| reapcd in the esteem and love ara
respect of all who knew them, M
reward which was justly theirs: IN
~ ,oeeipr of older citizens of the
community it is we'll to pause and
consider the honesty Of purpose ana
absolute integrity of performance OF
such as Mr.. Cony. which has mace
possible and assured the future OF
our society and it's institutions.

The four batteries were to ride all

stations early Sunday morning.
In the morning shortly after
revielle the boys began the work of
breaking camp. Tents were quickly
struck and cots and bed sacks re-
moved and emptied. The big trucks
loaded with the supplies were busy
all day travelling back and forth be-
tween the camp and the railroad
siding. The largs guns and caissons
were loaded onto the fiat cars, horses
were loaded into their cars, right af-
ter noon mess the cooking utensils
We're loaded and the cook tents were
taken down and in the late after
noon little evidence was left that the
field had housed 200 men for nearly
two weeks.
At dinner Saturday at the officers
mess formal announcement of the
gift to the 152nd Field Artillery of a
beautiful military trophy by Cover
nor Percival p. Baxter was made.
The trophy will be known as the
Governor Baxter Military Trophy"
This was done by Governor Baxter
in order to show his interest in and
appreciation of the splendid work
of the four Field Artillery batteries
from Aroostook county. The batteries
come from Houlton. Presque Isle,
Fort Fairfield. and Caribou and the
Battery that has the highest military
rating for two years will become
the permanent owner of the trophy.
Governor Baxter already has pre-
sented similar trophy TO the 103rd
Infantry and another to the Coast
Artillery companies.

In the meantime, Raoul plans
police raid on the underworld in the
hope that he may capture the lead
ers of the Apaches, who are respon-
sible for a series Of crimes. While
Claire is in the Apache den the police,
headed by her husband, arrive. She
escapes and that night Fernand comes
to her house. At the sight of her
jewels his thievish instinct overcomes
his love for the girl. He endeavors to
steal them and she under-goes a
change Of heart and realizes that she
does not love her husband. Fernand
is shot and in the subsequent alarm
Claire and Raoul are finally united as
they never were before.

charged against transactions of this
nature. In our humble opinion, every
purchase made away from Red Lodge
by those living here, removes a brick
from the foundation Of the commerce
ial structure Of this city, and aids in
the campaign Of attrition to relegate
Red Lodge to the class of the small
town.
Our good people must awaken to
the fact that Red Lodge is their city
and that it is up to them to build it
into a real center or permit it to slip
backwards. In this respect we do
not mean to intimate that good con-
structive work has not been done a.
long this line before, for we realize
hat Red Lodge is today reaping the
benefit from years of work Of those
who have devoted their time and eff
fort toward building the city. But
we do contend there to be ample room
for more work Of this kind and this
observation will be but one of SER
les devoted to the task Of promoting
the idea Of home support for home in
stitutions.
Perhaps some of the ideas con-
tanned in this brief observation may
seem trifle critical coming from q
new conner to the city, but we ask our
readers to recall our statement Of last
week, that often things are apparent
to the stranger that cannot be seen,
or are overlooked by those who have
been compelled to meet the condition
for many years and in attempting to
observe along lines that will prove
beneficial to Red Lodge, we are
prompted by the desire to aid the ac-
complishment Of a program of COM
munity service.
Next week we hope to tell of how
the scenic beauties of this locality
can be turned into dollars and cents.

n Regular Feature

In continuing our interesting task
Of observing conditions, people and
affairs in Red Lodge, we were COM
PEELED through stress Of circumstanc-
es this week to confine our observa-
tons to but one of the many worth
while things in Red Lodge. However
this one particular item, which can
readily be CLEANED by any causual OBJ
server walking on Broadway, con-
tains fund Of material and at the
same time holds food for thought for
those who have the welfare of their
home city at heart.
Our observation this week is based
upon two simple items in recent is
sue Of daily newspaper published in
city not far distant from Red Lodge
In glancing through this particular
issue we CHANGED upon two personal
items, that in themselves would carry
no message ordinarily, but to us they
carried a message with a whallop.
Note the items:-
Mrs. So-And-So of Red Lodge
is a shopping visitor in this
city. today from Red Lodge.
Miss Such-And-Such is visit
ing friends and shopping here
today from Red Lodge.
We are not particularly interested
in the shopping or visiting activities
of the ladies' mentioned in the above
items. In fact their visits to neigh
boring cities are none Of our bust
ness. But we are interested in the
mental processes of those people res
ident in Red Lodge who select a
neighboring city in which to spend
the money they earn in Red Lodge.
Were Red Lodge small flag stat
ion with a general store, postoffice
and blacksmith shop, offering its
people little service in mercantile
lines; no criticism could be leveled
at those who made their purchases
. elsewhere, but in this city with its
! many modern, up-to-date stores and
shops, offering every facility for the
purchase of seasonable merchandise
at prices which are as low or lower
than those prevailing in the larger
centers, there surely can be no just
reason for buying away from home
Red Lodge mercantile establishments
offer as wide variety Of selection as
the stores Of other cities and at the
! same time they are right at home to
adjust satisfactorily any misunder-
standing or discrepancies that may
occur. Railroad fares, hotel accom-
modations and other expenses must
be charged against the purchases
when bought away from home, but
this is not the main item to be
