Edwin Parker Died July 0 ,After Brief
Illness with Pneumonia.
Edwin Parker, an aged and much re
spected citizen, kind, loving father and
much-loved neighbor, passed to his rest
Monday, July 0. Mr. Parker had been
in failing health for a long time, but
only Friday before his death he
about the yard and showed his usual
interest in pupblio affairs by watching
the road help, but, not being strong, the
dread disease, pneumonia, was too much
for his strength and he had to leave on
Monday.
While it seemed to his family, to
whom he never spoke a cross word, that
they could not spare him, yet all were ao
thankful that the suffering was no
worse.
Edwin Parker, son of George and Har
riet (Cook) Parker, was born in Thet
ford Nov. 22, 1830. His grandfather, Levi
Parker, was a soldier In the war of 1812
and two brothers, Charles and Jamos
served in the Civil war. His early life
was spent in Thet ford. When a young
, he worked at mining at Strafford
and Copperfield. Later he was employed
in Granby, where he met Miss Mary W.
Rice, to whom he was married Sept. 10,
1871, and shortly after he purchased the
farm of Jonathan Eastman, where he
had since resided.
Four children, Mrs. E. 0. Bradbury of
Vershire, Mrs. I. E. Tucker of Hanover,
X. H., Henry A. Parker of Leominster,
Mass., and Francis D. Parker, who has
always resided with and lovingly cared
for his parents, and four grandchildren
are left to mourn the loss of a kind and
loving father and grandfather.
Funeral services were held July 12
with prayer at the house, and at 2
o'clock at the Congregational church,
conducted by a former pastor, Rev. W.
F. Bussell of West Townsend, who spoke
What Is a Satisfactory Life?" Three
beautiful selections, "Beckoning Hands,"
'We'll Never Say Good-bye in Heaven,"
and "We Shall Rest at Eve," were sung
by Mr. and Mrs. George E. Stacy, and
Mrs. Blanchard presided at the organ.
The flowers were many and beautiful.
Especial mention should be made of the
pillow with the word, "Father, and
spray of 80 pinks.
Those from out of town to attend the
funeral of Mr. Parker were his nephew
nd wife, W. A. Parker of Union Village
and Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Daggett of Thet
ford.

A Protest Against Recent Lecture on
Germany.
Editor, Burre Times: At a time when
German spies and paid agents are work
Ing in our midst to undermine the gov
ernment and aid our enemy, may we call
your attention to the meeting held In
Lower Cabot Sunday afternoon?
The attendance was large, in anticipa
tion of a patriotic service, but, to the
surprise of the audience, most of whom
have friends and relatives offering their
lives in the struggle against German
fright fulness, the speaker took her sub
ject as "Love," but not love of God, nor
love of justice and right, nor love of
country, but love of Germany, whose
brutal soldiers are violating every law
of God and man.
Now, after three years of accumulat
ing atrocities, when our eyes have been
opposed to the real German barbarism,
this speaker, comparing the United
States to Germany, in favor of the lat
ter, does not ask us to love our home,
the land of freedom, America, but asks
us to love the country without honor,
Germany.
It certainly is an Insult to the intel
ligence of Cabot to ask its people to love
the nation which invaded Belgium, sank
the Lusitania and is now by every dia
bolical device devastating tha fertile
ands of France; to forget the brave boys
who are crossing the seas to save our
homes from the ravages of the Huns.
While the audience gave courteous at
tention to the end, there were many
angry comments after the meeting
closed. This woman, who is understood
to be given talks in this state, should
be warned that our country is at war
with Germany; that aiding the cause of
our enemies, is treason and that pro-German
propaganda will not be tolerated in
this part of the country.

citizens.

The Cost of Maimitaining
the S
ervice
Few realize the extent to which the present "high cost of living"
affects the public service people generally do not seem to realize that
the business of serving the public has its "living" expenses like every
individual.
This company may be likened to the salaried man whose expenses
are ever increasing without a corresponding increase in income.
To illustrate the increased cost of maintaining the public service,
we have tabulated the following figures, showing what standard sup
plies cost us to-day as compared with two years ago.

These figures show an average increase in cost of over 63 per
cent, whereas the price received by this company for its service has
not been raised.
By practicing every economy consistent with proper manage
ment, we shall endeavor to maintain the service at its present high stand
ard during the trying period through which we must pass before nor
mal conditions again obtain.
