PARIS H. 8. 16; HEW GLOUCESTER H. S. 4
New QloaoMter High School came ti
8outh Parla Saturday afternoon with ι
reoordof seven game· won and non
lost, bat Paris High pat an awfal den
Into that record by giving them a b»<
heating, or perhaps It would be just ai
true to say that they allowed the visitor)
to beat themselves. All ball teang*.hav<
their bad day*, and New Gloucester wai
oertainly very bad in the firat two in
ninga of thla game. In Jo h mon, th<
viaitora have a fine pitcher and all round
ball player, and be also ahowed In tbest
opening inning· that he haa a good dis
position. Moat pitcher· would have
ahown some eigne of diaguat at receiving
the wretched support accorded to him,
but he made the beet of It, and th<
whole team took their defeat in a most
aportamsnllke manner.
Paris, on the other band, played a
very good (tame, and gave Merrill good
anpport. To be an re, two of the vial ton
runs came in on errors, but moat high
school teams make errors, snd the work
of the Paria team In Saturday's game
waa above the average. Merrill allowed
the vlaitors eight hits, but they were
well acattered, and in only one inning
did they get more than one hit fo an in
ning. He atrnok out four men And gave
two baaea on balls, neither of which fig·
ured in the scoring and one of which
srave Paris an opportunity for Perbam,
Edwards and Wight to pull off a well
executed double play. Merrill also led
his team at the bat with a .single and a
double.
After retiring the visitors in the open
ing inning, Paris went to the bat and be
fore three men were put out, Paris bad
sent fourteen men to the plate, acored
ten rune and bad a base rnnner left on
tbe baaea. We will make no attempt to
describe this inning. In the second in
ning Johnson bad tbe pleasure of seeing
two Paria men score whom be had atruck
out and errors by his catcher allowed
tbem to reach first. Merrill's fine bit in
this inoing scored three runners who
bad got on by errors.
Alter this the viaitora settled down
snd did well, and the runs scored by
Paris in the seventh and eighth innings
were not due to poor playing by tbe via
itora. Paris made nine bits off Jobnaon,
he atrnck out eight men and threw ont
seven more at first. He passed two men
and hit another. While bis work was
hardly np to the standard he usually
shows, no one could expeot him to pitch
up to bis best form in the faoe of tbe
support be received.
Several of tbe young ladies from New
Gloucester csme with the team and did
their beat to cheer tbem on to viotoay.
The Paria High girls were also out in
full force, ana with a new line of songs
and cheers they kept things lively. We
know of no high school team that geta
better support from the girls of the
icbool than does Paris, and their songs
ire sung with a spirit and dash that
makes tbem a real feature In the home
games played by the team.

Memorial Day In Parla.
A representation of the veterans of
Wm. E. Kimball Post, O. A. R., the
Ladles of the G. A. R. and the Sons of
Veterans whioh nearly filled the middle
section of aeats attended the servioe at
the South Paris Universallst church
Sunday morning for the annual memo
rial sermon. There was singing by the
young people's chorus ohoir of the
ohurob, with Mrs. Agnee L. Morton at
the organ, a duet by Gladys Doran and
Alan Miller, and a duet by Mrs. Ralph
Perkins and Miss Marie Newton.
The sermon was by Rev. Chester Gore
Miller, the pastor of the church, from
Matt. 26:11. After referring to the
American flag as the greatest emblem
among all the badges and decorations of
the world, the speaker pointed ont that
this is a great and portentous time, and
pointed to the spectacle In Europe.
Changes in this country are cauaed by
this war. The new Monroe doctrine la
that we muat be prepared to repel the
aggreaaiona of any European nation any
where on the continent of America. Oor
safety la In defence, our danger la In of
fenoe. We know liberty, aa the Germana
have never dreamed it, aa the people
of hardly any European country except
England and Franoe have made any at
tempt to attain It. Our government la
the perfection of demooratio government
aa far aa yet attained. But liberty can
be maintained only by eternal vigilance.
Thia la a creation of power. Our
world la a divided world—atrength and
weatneaa— wealth and poverty. It la a
world of oooflict. The nature of a man
with power, unleaa be la possessed of
the spirit of Jesus Christ, Is to beoome
an aggressor. It Is the same with na
tions as with men. Nature is never ag
gressive. Man becomes aggressive
through ambition and greed.
The Christian Ideal is always defen
sive. The Christian ideal does not de
mand the abolishment of weapons of
war. It urgea us to be on the defenaive,
to be prepared.
Tbe United Statea muat be on th^ de
fenaive against the aggreaaiona of other
nations. But If tbe United Statea for
geta that all ita military meaauree are
for defence, and attempta aggression,
then la ita ideal dead. Tbe Amerioan
Bag baa never atood for a war of aggrea
■lon, and God grant It never may.
The exercises of Tuesdsy will be sbout
according to the usual program. At 10
A. M. the panda will start In frônt of
Grand Army Hall and prooeed to River
side Cemetery where the gravée will be

to the veterans and the Sons of Veterans.
Prinoipal F. E. Hanscom of Gonld Acad
emy, Bethel, will give the address at the
sfternoon exercises, which will be beld
in New Hall at 2 o'clock.
Although the invitation haa not been
extended direotly to all the sohools, all
the school children are Invited and de
sired to take part In the parade at 10
o'clock Tuesday forenoon.

This year's Memorial sfrvloee begin
with the aerrlce at the Unlvereallet
church 8 and aj afternoon, when a good
sized delegation from Harry Boat Poet
and Relief Corpa listened to a very able
addreea by the pastor, Rev. G. G. Miller,
on "Preparedness and Loyalty to Ameri
ca." Speoial mnsle by the ohorns ohoir
under the leadership of F. W. Walker
added mneh to the attraotiyeness of the
serrioe.
The exercises on Memorial Day will
begin at 9:80 ▲. M., at wbloh time a line
of maroh will be formed In front of the
hall. In line there will be the veterans
of Harry Rast Post, the ladles of Harry
Rest Corps, the members of Gompany
D, and the Spanish War Veterans,
and school ohlldren. ▲ dram oorps will
lead the procession. Upon arrival at
Pine Grove Cemetery the graves will be
deoorated and impressive exercises to
which the pablio is cordially Invited will
be held.
At noon dinner will be served at
Grange Hall to those taking part in the
parade.
In the afternoon the exercises will be
held at the Opera Honse. There will be
readings, vocal solos, tableaux and se
lections by an orchestra, with an address
by Hon. Alton C. Wheeler of Sooth Paris,
as the speaker of the day.
A special town meeting has been call
ed for Saturday, June 3. at two o'olook.
The business of the meeting is covered
by the following artiole:
Art. 2. To «ee If the town will vote to instruct
the selectmen to acquire, by purohace or other
wise, (or the oae of the town, the four (4) lots or
parcels of land, two (2) now owned by Charles
Q. Blake and two (9) by Howard D. Smith, all
adjoining the hljrh school lot on southerly side;
said land to be thas acquired for the purpose o:
enlarging or extending the present high school
grounds for the erection of requisite school
buildings and for play grounds.
There is no question but what this is
an important matter and should receive
the careful Consideration of the voters of
the town. There is no doubt that if the
property mentioned is ever to be acquir
ed for eohool purposes it must be done
Immediately. The writer does not claim
to be in a position to know whether this
additional purchase is a real necessity or
not, bnt be does know that those who
have the Interests of our sohools most
deeply at heart have wanted this land
for school purposes for years, that they
oonsider it would be a most unfortunate
affair to have this land utilized for other
building purposes. It is a desirable lo
cation without doubt, but to many the
nearness of the school would be consid
ered a decided drawback to its value, and
there is no question but what many feel
that if the school really needs this land,
It should have it for all of any one else.
Without doubt now Is the time for défi
ai te action, one way or the other.
