ers in this year of 1924, who served In
the war of the Rebellion. But the

combined age of the octogenarians Is
ESQ years. George S. Curtis. the
youngest, served in Co. A Goth Reg.
Vol. Inf. He is so years old. Nehe-
miah, the oldest served in Co. Z, cath
Reg. He is 81 years old. David r.

SO years old. He was at the battle of
the Wilderness. Spottsylvania, was
twice wounded before Petersburg. Da-
vid Curtis lives in BowdGin with his
niece. Mrs. IIaigh. George S. makes
his home at Lisbon Falls with his son

A Few Why Questions

kennebec Journals:
Why should a man be allowed to
park his car in the Travelled part of
the highway?
Why not give a drunken automo-
bile driver n straight Jail sentence
of one year or more?
Why are cars allowed to park on

Why do people when they meet
and stop to talk always stand in the

take up all Of it?

"Since the introduction of Freshman
week. two years ago, Maine University
hasn't lost freshman from homesick-
ness" says DR.. Little. Before that
we lost from 10 to IS every year just
from sheer inconsistencies. The system
has been a tremendous success and
has been emulated by other big col
leges in Nsw England and In the mid
die west. The plan is to have the
freshmen arrive on the campus a week
before college opens. The faculty is
there. the students get settled in their
rooms, become acquainted with each
other and with the campus and learn
their way about and organize their
class. They are pretty we'll acquaint-
cd when the upper classmen arrive and
do not feel quite so much apart. 1t
has worked out splendidly.
Nathan r. Cohen, son Of Mr. and
Mrs. Simon Cohen of 1872 Leighton
street and a senior in Columbia uni
versity, has recently been awarded the
Kings Crown, the highest activity
honor conferred by the University.
Among the activities which won Mr..
Cohen the distinctive honor. which is
probably the first time it has been
awarded to citizen of Maine, are the
following: Solo cornetist in the
University band for two years; with
the instrumental clubs for the same
period of time: member of the Glee
club and a prominent character in the
varsity shows. He is q member of
Phi Epsilon Pi. Mr.. Cohen graduated
from Bangor High in the class of 1921,
and was student at the University Of
Maine for two years, transferring
from there to Columbia.
We often read how the cat came
back but this time it's the COW. A
mer living on the Ross road at Old Or
chard, sold three cows to South Port
land cattle dealer. They were taken
away at once. Two days later Mr..
Guilford was astonished to find one of
the animals in the door yard The
COW seemed to be glad to see Mr. Gull
ford and by her actions indicated that
she was pleased to get back home
again. While she did not expect them
to "kill the fatted calf" she wanted
to eat breakfast in the old tieup. where
she was reared. Mr.. Guilford made an
investigation and found that the COW
had been sold to a farmer near Dun
stan, and when the first opportunity
offered had run away from her new
home to the one she had known since
she was born.

the idea being to use in the manufac-

If the cost of producing the plaster is
low enough, the mills will be operated

is also possibility that not only plas-
ter. but cement, may be manufactured
at BED Beach. If the project works
