Congressman White on Tour.
A three days' automobile tour of Ox
ford County was made laat week by
Hon. Wallace p. White, Representative
to Congress from the Seoond Oiatriot, to
meet aod greet the people of the county.
There were a number of automobiles on
the trip, the party including Chairman
Walter G. Morse of Rumford, Harry £.
Dyer of Hanover, Leon M. Small of
Mexico, of the Republican county com
mittee, Hon. O. L. Stanley of Kezarl
Falls, State Senator and candidate for ]
re-election, and a number of candidates
for county officea and other Republi
cana.
United States Senatora Fernald and
Hale were also to have been in the |
party, but were recalled to Waahington
because of the man power bill which ia
before the aenate.
Starting from Kezar Falls Wednesday
morning, the party made their way to
Norway that day, then on Thuraday by
way of Oxford, Hebron, and the eaatern
towna of the county to Rumford, and on
Friday from Rumford by way of Roxbury,
Andover and Hanover to Bethel aod
other central Oxford towna to West
Paria, Mr. White returning from there to
Rumford.
No formal apeech making had been
announced, but Congressman White
responded to the pressure to make ahort
talka from an automobile to the people
who had gathered in aeveral of the
towns visited. Mr. White, while not
ignoring party politica, had little to aay
along that line, but devoted hlmaelf
largely to conaideration of our duty to
win the war.
Mr.White's popularity waa well attest
ed by the nambera who gathered to meet
him at all places along the route.
The trip was made on a fixed achedule
arrival at eaoh stopping place being at a
fixed hour announced in advance.
Maj. Lucian W. Blanchard.
Only a few daya after hia arrival home
from Battle Creek, Mich., Maj. Lucian
W. Blanchard died at Rumford at 1
o'clock Friday. Death wu doe to a
serious heart trouble, from which he
bad been suffering for months.
Maj. Blanchard waa the son of the]
late William M. and Deaire (Farrar)
Blanchard of Romford, and waa born in
that town 38 years ago. He graduated
from Rumford High School in 1898,
rrom Bates College In 1902, and from the
Boston University Law School in 1905.
After hia admisaion to the bar be
formed a law partnership with the late
Ε. H. Gleason, and after Mr. Gleason'e
death continued bis law praotice by him
self. He wm an active Republican, and
in 1916 waa elected county attorney of
Oxford County aa the candidate of that
party, resigning the office to enter the
United States service.
He was interested in military matters,
and when Co. Β of the Second Maine
Regiment wu formed at Rumford, he |
was its first captain. After a few years
be resigned, but was always interested
να tbe company. He was appointed on
the staff of Governor William T. Haines j
as judge advocate general, and bad since
held tbe same position, being appointed
by Governor Curtis and Governor Mil-1
liken.
When the Seoond Maine was called to
the Mexican border, Co. Β of Livermore
Palls was without a captain, and Major
Blanchard served in that capacity dur
ing the time th· regiment wu on the
border.
In 1917 he entered the United States
service, and waa appointed judge advo
cate at Camp Custer, Battle Creek,
Mioh., to which station be immediately
went. He waa attacked by illness, and
was in tbe aanitarlnm at Battle Creek for
some months. His wife and daughter]
were with him from last December until
their return home.
Besides his law practice, Maj. Blanch
ard bad large real estate and businees
interests.
He was a member of the several
Masonic bodies, the Odd Fellows,
Knights of Pythias, and the Elks.
He married Claudia Prleat of North
Anaon, who survives him, with one
daughter, Luoene. He is also survived
by a half-brother, George Blanchard,
and a nephew, Manley Blanchard, of
Ru m ford.
A Fortieth Anniversary.
While tbe personal feature of it may
be of little moment, the fact of a man
staying forty years practically on one
job ia worthy of paaaing notice.
With this issne, Arthur E. Forbes, tbe
old man of the Democrat, rounda out
forty years as a printer. It waa on the
19tb of Angnst, 1878, that be took up
the broom and other tools of the appren
tice, in the old Democrat offioe on Paris
Hill, and started in to learn tbe trade.
While the larger part of foor years of
tbe intervening period waa spent at an
institution of learning, absorbing math
eon tics, mental philosophy and other
things, and inoideotaliy having a mighty
good time, the other tblrty-eix years,
plus several college vacations, baa been
spent pottering aroond the Democrat
office and doing some of the fifty-seven
varieties of work demanding attention
about a oountry newspaper office. In
deed, that ia tbe only thing he knowa
how to do, and if Crowder should older
him, under the "work or fight" ruling,
to get Into some gainful occupation, he
wouldn't know how to do It.
Some time, when he get· old enough
lo live la the past, be may write some
recollections of theee forty uneventful
(to him) yeare; but now he ia very much
occupied with the preeent.
And if yon want to know how close
be haa stuck to it, tbe longest vacation
he haa taken waa nineteen days, and he
baaa't been ont of a job since he waa six·
taen yeara old.

Daring the shower whlob oloeed In 01
οι ο little alter 8 o'clook Wednesday
afternoon, end whlob teems to beve beer
general oyer e large area, theboildiog· ui
J. H. Clark, about a mile from Soutl
Parle on the Saet Oxford road, wen
s track bj Ugblning and burned. The
buildings consisted of a story and a hall
boose, ell end bern.
. Lightning straok the baok corner ol
the barn, and started a blaze In some
baled hay which was staoked In thai
part of the building. At first the blaze
was not very large, and Mr. Clark and
hie son carried something like a dozen
pells of water and made an attempt to
obeek It, but there was too muoh of It,
and It spread rapidly when once It got s
start.
Mr. Clark got out a pair of work
borsee, which were all the animale in
the bern-at the time, and had some diffi
culty In Inducing one of them to get out.
A hayrack with a load of bay which had
been drawn In jnst before the shower
took fire so quickly that It wee impos
sible to run It out. There wee In the
barn about fifteen tons of pressed bay,
and some five tons that bed been put In
this year. Some wagons were saved.
Though the barn burned rapidly, the
boose was much slower In going, and
with the help which arrived it was pos
sible to get ont most of the things In
the house, though they were not bene
fited by the rain which was falling. By
the time this was done, there was not
mach to do except to stand and see the
house barn. One reservoir of the South
Peris water system, which was built by
the Norway Water Co. some years ago,
is oo land bought of Mr. Clark and not
many rods from the bouse, but !t Is a
little lower than the buildings, end the
weter can be got only by pumping.
The most unfortunate feature of the
fire is that there wae no insurenoe on
the buildings. The Insurance had ex
pired only a few days before, and the
matter of renewal had not been attended
to.
A New Style ol Ballot.
When it comee to voting et the state
election which is in the near future, the
voter will bave a little different proposi
tion before him in t be ballot from what
there has heretofore been. If he desires
to vote a straight party ticket be can do
it by a single cross at the bead of the
party column as before, but if he votes
in any other way bis procedure will be
changed.
For some time we bave been using one
form of ballot for the state election and
a different form for the primaries.
There wae much agitation in favor of
making the regular election ballot in the
same form as the primary ballot. So the
last legislature tackled the job; and
evolved apian of voting which is various
ly regarded. Some think it oombines
the good features of tbe two forms of
ballot, some think it oombines their bad
features. In any event, it is the law.
Under the new plan and style of vot
ing, the voter may vote e straight party
ticket es before, by putting one cross in
tbe square at the top of tbe party col
umn, and if there are any of the candi
dates in that column for whom be does
not wish to vote, be may "scratch" their
nemes with his pencil. In addition to
the square at tbe top of tbe party ool
umn, there will be e smaller square at
tbe right of each name. If a voter
wishes to split bis ticket, Instead of
placing bis oross in the square at the top
of tbe oolumn, he will make crosses in
the squares at the right of tbe names
for whom he wishes to vote, wherever
they are on the ballot In this way he
oan scatter bis voting through all the
party oolumns on tbe bellot if he wishes.
One provision of tbe law that should
be noted Is that "Stickers shall not be
oounted unless used to fill a vacancy or
correot an error in tbe printed ballot.M
This does away with tbe use of stickers,
and requires the voter to split his ticket
solely with his pencil. It would seem
even to prevent using a sticker for a
came which is not on tbe printed ballot,
and require a man to write the name
with a pencil in any event if be desires
to be independent end go outside tbe
reguler ticket. Thus to some extent It
discourage· independence id toiid^.
Bat oases where a voter desires to do
tbat are rare.
It would seem desirable to have some
uniformity io oar election laws, in plaoe
of tbe present jumble. At tbe primary
we bave one form of ballot and at tbe
regular election another; at tbe primary
tbe ballots are kept in tbe onstody of tbe
town clerk; at tbe regular election tbey
are shipped to the secretary of state at
Augusta, and kept in bis custody. There
ia so much oonfusion regarding the mat
ter of the custody of tbe ballots tbat at
the recent primary election the ballots
from a lot of the towns were shipped to
Augusta, and had to be returned.
For tbe first time since an official
ballot was used in a state eleetion in
Maine, there will be this year on the
ballot only two columns, Republican and
Democrat, exoept in a few cases, as for
instance Aroostook Connty, where there
is an Independent candidate for sheriff,
and Augusta, where a Socialist candi
date for représentative has been nomi
nated, Tbe time for filing nominations
expired on tbe lOtb, and no nomination
papers for state officers were filed, and
only a few for tbe minor offioes.

The important thing is to buy early. Qood Coats
can not long be had at such advantage.

Has the War Taught You to Save?
It's a patriotic duty you owe your country
and yourself. Whether you invest in War
Saving Stamps or Liberty Bonds you must
first save money. The best way is to deposit
a regular amount each week or each month.

Don't you sometimes hate to
Everything
Necessary
For the
Man Who
Shaves
Himself
It is a
Pleasure
to Serve
You
Shave Yourself
in the Morning?
Guess you remember a few mornings ago,
when you stood for a couple of minutes try
ing to make up your mind whether you
would shave yourself or not. You hated the
idea of starting the day with yesterday's
whiskers on your face, but you hated the
torture that you were going to suffer if you
shaved.
What was the reason for this? Was it the
soap? Was it the razor? Or, perhaps, it
may have been that unpleasant after-effect
you had experienced when you shaved your
self.
There is no need for this if you have the
proper lather. 50 per cent of a good shave
is the lather. We very strongly recommend
REXALL SHAVING CREAM. It lathers
quickly and freely and if well rubbed on to
the face, will soften the beard so that shav
ing becomes not only easy but pleasant. If
you prefer stick or powder, we have the
same excellent quality in these.
The razor is of courte important and we
would be glad at any time to show and ad
vise the right kind for your beard and skin.
For a pleasant feeling after shaving the best
thing to use is, Rexall Shaving Lotion, which
is an antiseptic and leaves the skin feeling
cool, and comfortable.
A little Talcum—there's a special kind of
powder for men, you know—gives a finish
ing touch and makes your self-sh ve as en
joyable as any your barber ever gave you.
