Δ train in two section·, thirty-three cars in all, went through Friday evening carrying drafted men from Illinois bound for the forts at Portland, several hundred of them. Troop movements In general come under the voluntary cenaorshlp of the papers aa thinga that are not to be mentioned, but aa tbeee men are not yet soldiers and the fact of their oomlng has already boon announced in the dallies, this doe· not aeem to be an ocoaaion that require· •ilenoe. Though the men were taken under the draft, they appeared not In the least downhearted, but were lively and in the beet of spirits. Qrand Army Hall was a lively place Friday afternoon, with the sale under the anapioee of the Service League. Apron, candy and food table· (all s»rict lv io conformity with the regulation· of the Food Administration) enjoyed good aalee. The grab waa conducted by the Girl·' Patriotic League.

The ready reeponae of the townspeople in contribution and patronage hi much ap preciated, also the help of the Sunshine Club of Paris Hill, which gave generous ly aprons and money. While 8outb Paris le more than famiiar with sale· and fair·, this is about the first one in wbioh practically everybody in the oommunity participated in some way. The total income of the Service League for the weak ie #164.18. Much oredlt ie due the Girls' Patriotic League for the able manner in which they carried out their part at the ®βΓ7Ι<*?

Thia waa demonstrated by the number who gathered at the Grand Trunk station to eee them oil, ae well ee In all the pro ceeding· there and tbe prelimlnarlea. Seventeen waa the number oalled for, ι though only ilxteen went at that time. Of the eeventeen in tbe original liât, Jean Baataraohe of Bumford hea enlisted in the Canadian army. Daniel McDongall, another of the men, alao of Bumford, went to New Bruniwlok to the funeral of hi* father, and has not reported back here—tbe local board expreee tbe belief, through no fault of hi*. One additional, James Lewie Kay of Oxford, waa oalled and left with the contingent, and the seventeenth man will be aent immedi ately. The sixteen who left were: Jamee Merrill Perry, Bumford. Carl Edward Sbatney, Boxbury. Joaepb Edouard Maillet, Bumford. Jaoob Astor Klain, Norway. Claude Albert Qoddard, Bethel. Alton Auguatoa Conant, Hebron. Viotor L. Koeelaod, Fry β burg. Frank Araenault, Mexico. Neal Dow Harlow, Dixfleld. Fred Waite Hoi man, Dixfleld. ~ Guy Leelie York, Canton. John Korzik, Mexico. Bobert Schenk, Norway. William Archie Wallaoe, Bumford. Wendell Holme· Knox, Fryeburg. Jamee Lewi· Kay, Oxford. Bobert Schenk of Norway waa ap* pointed leader of tbe contingent for the trip to Camp Devena, with Jaoob Klalo of Norway and Guy York of Canton aa assistants. Chairman Bertrand G. Mo indre and Α. Β. Steam· of the looel exemption board aooompanied them on tbe train for a part of the way. All the men were well outfitted by tbe Bed Croas and Service League organiza tion· before their departure. Each man had a aweater and three pairs of sooks, beaidee other things from their home town·. The Norway Bed Cross provided comfort kit· for each man, and the Sooth Paria Service League furnished a big box of fruit, oigarettea, chocolate, and other good things. If it had not been for tbe presence of Paria High School In a body, tbe send off, while genuine, would have been entirely informal and rather qnlet. After tbe school appeared on tbe station plat· form, there wasn't a moment when things were not moving, with oheers, songs, or brief speeches, and the students' tbroata mast have been in good condition to stand the strain. The clrcamstanoe that the train was half an boar late gave an opportunity for tbe oarrying out of a program for which no schedule had been arranged. When the men of the call came down from the ooart bouae where they bad aaaembled, they were received with pro longed hand-clapping, bat no further demonatration. Very soon after the high sobool made It· preeenoe known, and after giving tbe school yells, there oame tbe call, "We want Molntire! We want Mclptire! We want Molntire! Speeob ! Speech ! Speech !" After a repetition of this oall Mr. Mo lntire mounted a baggage track and apoke for a few mlnatea. Then there waa a call for Stearna, and Mr. Stearns responded. The next call waa for Sog ers, and Bev. C. Wellington Bogers of tbe Soath Paris Congregational church responded. Then a oall for Gray, and Walter L. Gray mounted tbe truck. Then a call for Wheeler, and Alton C. Wheeler occupied tbe minute or two re maining before tbe train pulled up be side tbe platform. It Is needless to give any summary of tbe brief speeohes made, the good wishes expresaed for the men, or the assnranoea given them of the support, the Interest and the prayera of those at home. One ieiiore υι me romirn buuuiu, uuwotci, be noted. Both Mr. Molntire and Mr. Stearns, who bave been working all win- j ter on tbe looal board, and hare been In touob with the registered men, took occasion to give their testimony that while these men bave been drafted, they are going into the serrloe gladly, with the spirit of volunteers, and that with very few exceptions, they have fonnd tbe same spirit In all tbe men wbo have been oalled to appear before them. ▲· the train palled In, the itadents sang a verse of the Star Spangled Ban· ner, and a three times three for each man of the sixteen was given as they got aboard. Pari· High School Note*. High school olosed Friday for onej week's vacation. Tbe high school has had eleven visitors | daring this week.
