“My face was covered with large
pimples which were very sore. They
itched and burned so badly that I
could not sleep, and my face was
disfigured. The trouble lasted about
three weeks before I began using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment and
after using two cakes of Cuticura
Soap and two boxes of Cuticura
Ointment I was completely healed.”

Rebekahs Enjoy Field Day
And Outing at Island Park
A large gathering of members of
the Kebekah branch of the Odd
Fellows together with their families
and friends attended the annual field
day and outing at Island Park Tues
day afternoon 41 nd evening.
The greater part of the members
made the trip to the Island on the
electric car leaving Water street at
1.45 although some went by automo
bile. The afternoon was delightfully
passed in the playing of games in the
beautiful pine grove, swimming and
enjoying the cooling breezes blowing
in from the waters of the lake. A
feature of the affair was the presence
of a goodly number of children who
| accompanied their parents and help
I to keep things stirring and interest
ing. As the afternoon waxed late
: many of the husbands ana lam era <
arrived and at six o'clock a picnic)
| lunch was enjoyed in the grove, j'
while a large number adjourned to',
the Inn where Chef Voyer with anj'
i able corp of assistants were on hand j
I to furnish a most sumptuous shore
dinner which was greatly enjoyed.
In the evening those who cared
enjoyed the dancing at the pavilion
where Douglas’ Melody Men furnlsh
! ed music and where a large crowd of
I dancers were on hand from the sur
i rounding cities and towns.
1 All in all the occasion proved to he
| a grand success all returning to their 1
j homes fully satisfied with the varied )
I events of the day and looking for- j
ward with pleasure to a similiar time :
i another summer.
Wishing to display his patriotism
j and appreciative welcome to the boys

i goods merchant on Water street, whose
1 identity we would rather not reveal,
j m his haste Tuesday morning managed
! to get his flag out wrong end to or. in
other words, with the lield pointed in
. toward the store. And it was some
• time before lie became conscious >'f
■ the fact, even when many of his
I friends were inquiring the reason for

(Continued from Page One)
It was a great crowd that was at
the camp, a wonderful showing Of
Maine soldiers, for fully 500 had ar
rived during the day and it is con
fidently believed ttiat the number will,
be swelled to 600 today. Col. Frank
M. Hume who commanded the old
f outfit was there and so was Maj. Gen.
i Clarence R. Edwards, the “old man”
[of the 26th division.
Of course there was levity at the
|camp; one would ettpect that. On
the other hand there weret hings that
one might not have expected. Re
unions are always more or less of a
i good time and that is what has been
' planned for the old 103rd. Rut when
[smiling veterans swept up to the old

flag from the big pole, the old weather
beaten officers' quarters, the row upon
row of pyramidal tents, they no |
longer smiled. j
Rack to their faces came1 a grim
ness and solemnity that had not been
seen in months. They forgot their
Igaiety, straightened their shoulders
and sighed. A sigh may have a
wealth of meaning. It did Wednes
day, for by the sighs that came from
the men were expressed pride in the

Beloved Leader There
And then when “the Old Man”
came, erect and smiling, their eyes
glistened and an expression as near
beautific as a Maine soldier can as
sume came over their faces. For
there is only one General Edwards
and he was there with his old friends
Wednesday.
They were inspirational scenes that
wore witnessed at the old camp
grounds yesterday. After the spell of
the old days and old memories had
worn off, typical camaradie prevail
ed. Little groups were everywhere:
in front of the old woden barracks, in
the tents, over at the mule stables,
on the parade grounds. Jokes flew
] thick and fast, as thick as the mud in
a Virginia training camp. It was just
■ a case of boys will be boys and the
men determined to be so.
j Hig things marked the first day of
j the first reunion of the regiment,
j Perhaps ihe most notable of them
| was the. permanent organization of an
• association. Then there were sports
i of all kinds, a big dinner with Gen
j eral Edwards. Governor Baxter and
others as speakers and the continual
; welcoming of now arrivals as they
reached the old camping ground.
General Edwards,
Col. Hume and Big
Part of Staff Present
Prom the double star of a major
general down to a plain sleeve with
only a service chevron ran the scale
of grades at the first reunion of the
JO.'ird Infantry. Wednesday.
The two stars, of course, were on
the shoulders of Major r.eneral Clar
ence It. Kdwards, commanding the
i First Corps area at the present time,
but formerly head of the 26th divi
sion. whirl he organized. No matter
how many units General Edwaris
may head, there will never be any
that can occupy quite the place that
the old 26th will always hold with
| him.
General Edwards' entrance to the
camp was just the one thing to make
i :Mr- bis affair completely successful.
No more cordial greeting could be giv.
(n any man than the old commander
received fron his former charges on
Wednesday.
•'el. V’anV M. Hume of Houlton,
former commander of the old Second
Maine and later in command of the
103rd, was there and he shared with
the major general the honors of the
da y.
As a matter of fact, there was not
a man on the camp ground but what
could be made the center of a special
article. Some of them carried four
gold chevrons on their left sleeves
and wound stripes were as numerous
as could bo.
1 kui. Col. Albert Greenlaw, com
mander of the Maine Department of
the American Legion, was in attend
ance. As Captain Greenlaw, he left
i Augusta as the head of the Supply
company of the 103rd. Then he be
came assistant chief of staff of the
noth division and came home in that
position.
I So many of the old time officers
were at the start of the reunion that
it is more than timely to tell about
them.
Lt. Col. Arthur Ashworth, formerly
of Bangor, but now of Massachusetts,
went out as captain of the Machine
Gun company, His efficiency result
ed in his advancement to the rank of
major in command of the 103rd Ma
chine Gun battalion and when he re
turned home he received his silver
loaf denoting a lieutenant-colonelcy.
Spaulding Bisbee of Rumford went
out as Captain of Co. B., and soon
became a major in the 103rd. William
E. Ireland ( Bill”) was only a lieu
tenant in the Machine Gun company
when he started. He soon became a
major and when he returned home,
although still in his L’O’s, he was a
t’ln Hedged major.
Major E. A. Hosford ofHoulton was
a captain in command of Co. L, but
because of his gallant work at Cha
teau Thierry he received bis mujoi -
ity.
Irwin B. Newcomb of Watervillc,
was lieutenant and battalion adjut
Iant. Vie became captain and adjut
nt of the 103rd. was trnsferred to the
TTth division and made a major.
Frank Burbank went out as a lieu
tenant in C company of Livermore
Falls, but so galalntly did he perform
at Chateau Thierry, that a deserved
promotion to a captaincy resulted.
Captain P. A. Hasty who was in
command of Co. A and Capt. Charles

but a silver leaf graced his shoulder
on his return.
Wallace Butterfield of Rumford. be
cause of his gallantry, was promoted
to be second lieutenant on the field.
Adjutant General John A. Hadley
J has one of the most distinguished rec
I ords of any man at the reunion. After
being in the Spanish War, Ui the Phil
ippines and on the Mexican border, he
was major in command of the First
Battalion of the 103d when it went to
war. He graduated from the staff col
lege and commanded a battalion of
the 104th Infantry at Bclleau Wood.
He was sent to the staff college, grad
uated with honor and became assist
ant chief of staff of the 7th Division
of the regular army and from ^here
went to the 42d Division in the army
of occupation.
Chaplain James H. Cochrane of the
103d went out with his old friends,
i but was transferred to a depot bri
gade.
John Healy, who was a lieutenant
in E Company, came back as its cap

Other officers noticed were Capt.

C. H. Roberts was the chief bugler

as did Lieut. Charles E. Davis of l
Company of Eastport.
Major John G. Towne of Waterville.
who did such distinguished work in
charge of the medical department df
the 3tiih Division, wasn't in uniform
Wednesday, but ho was there all sol
idly just the same.
And of coarse Lieut. Col. “Bill"
Southard was there—very much there.
The hero of Torcy, smile and all, was
the center of attention at ail times. He
wore his Distinguished Service Cross,
his Legion of Honor and his Croix do
j Guerre.
Other decorations noted—and these
! were not all,of them by any means—
were the Distinguished Service Cross
Jon Capt. Burbank; the Distinguished
! Service Cross on Incut. 1’aul Carver
of Company A; the Order of the Crown
| on Major Spaulding Bisbee and a Dis

■ No better indication of* the interest
: shown in the gathering could be evi
| danced than :hc fact that one group
of veterans motored 340 miles from
iHoulton to be on hand. Fifteen came
i by automobile from Livermore, while
; cars came from every other point of

! In every way it was' a whale ol' a

REMODEL GRAMMAR
SCHOOL BUILDING,
COMMITTEE ADVISES
A special town meeting was held
Tuesday evening. Town Clerk Mrs.
M Carrie French called the meeting!
to order and H. IS. Foster was elect - '
ed moderator.
l)r. F. H. Badger gained the floor
and made a motion to adjourn the
meeting to a subsequent date, giving
as his reasons that so few were in
attendance and that it was his own
desire as well as that of the other
members of ihe school building com
mittee that a large number attend
the meeting as it was of large im
portance to tlie town.
Though but a few attended, it
seemed to be the desire that the re
port of the committee be given so
that the project could be considered.
Accordingly the doctor withdrew his
motion and the town proceeded to
consider the report of the commit
tee.
Dr. Badger presented the unani-,
mous report of the committee which |
was to the effect that the room in j<
the High school building where the
seventh grade is housed is totally i
untit for use by reason of the lowii
ceiling and poor light and that the '
State educational department will :
not permit its use much longer; that 1
the Grammar school building on
Main st reet is poorly lighted, poorly I i
heated and poorly ventilated. The :
, toilet system is very inefficient and 1
deserves the condemnation of every
parent whose child attends school
there, says the report; the founda- I
jtion of the building is perfect and'
the basement floor is in good condi-i'
; tion as is also the general structure. I
of the building, such as its walls
and floors. Several propositions were !
j considered by the committee. The
i first was to erect a new grade build- !
; ing but as the cost would be $70,000 |
i or more, this was deemed inadvis
j able. Another one was to erect a
! building to house both the Grade and
i High schools, but this would cost
$12.3,000. The big problem was re
1 garding the size of the rooms in such
ia building as at present there are two
! grades in a room, but, if the town I
i grows, it might be but a few years; i
I before it would be necessary to have J1
; one grade only in a room. Bv reas- |
Ion of this uncertainty, this proposi- i
| tion was rejected. Another project! I
| was to remodel the town hall but, as:
j it meant a new town hall practical-1.
1 ly, this was not deemed feasible.
; After consulting competent archi
j tects, the committee decided that
there were possibilities in the Gram
mar school building and recom
mend its remodeling. Two class
i rooms would be added to the north '
side of the building which would al
so allow a room for domestic science
or other purposes in the basement '
beneath. A corridor and wardrobes
through the middle of the building;
would be provided by taking some j
eight feet from the inner sides of!
the present rooms, making the en- I
trance to the new rooms through I •
this corridor. All windows would be j
I removed from the north side of the
j present rooms and more would be
: added to the long sides, and the
desks would be turned so that the ;
light will come from the pupils’ left i
side.
The toilets would be re-arranged 1
with sanitary fixtures and an enier
gency supply tank with a larger pip
connecting with the main from ie
street, also, it is proposed to install
an auxiliary heating unit to insure
sufficient steam for cold weather,
which is necessary fo properly main
tain the ventilating system which it
is proposed to install. Particular
stress was laid on the ventilating
system which would insure pure air
at an even temperature in both sum
mer and winter. It is proposed to
cover the outside of the building
with stucco, thereby changing the
appearance very much for the bet
ter. The report was well received
and much interest shown by thost
present at the meeting.
The meeting voted to instruct the
! selectmen to have the .report printed
and circulated amongst the voters.
The town then adjourned to August
1, at 9 A. M.
