Under The provisions OF the Militia

IL work Ut the Maine Troops at
EanasSrs and Thor"ughfare was very
satisf ,ctory To the United States Army
officers. f.v.ly .iuty required of them
was performed in n prompt and salts
factory manner. While the work was
VERY faciguing it was performed with
out complaint. The United States
officers admitted to me that they were
doing too much work in such a short
space of time, Yet tn. fact that they
could net have the State troops for
longer period required them to crown
the work in order to complete the
problems a. arranged.
The information gained by the Off
GERS and men will be OF much benefit to
the Government whenever they are
called into service. II is of importance
for officers to learn to care for them
selves and to look after their men. ]
noticed that ii was necessary for cap
tain TO look after his men much as Il
father would his children. supplying
their wants and making them as COM
Portable as the conditions would war
rant Officers who did this always had
4 company ready for any duty which
they were called upon TO perform. II
was surprising to see how we'll the
States troops stood up under the hard
work required of them. and how
promptly they answered all calls for
duty.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

nFsSoNl M LA i lOI\so.
lst. That better armories be provid-
ed by the State for all Of the cOmDa-
MES the expense of heating and light
ing to be paid by the cities and towns
where companies are located.
I'd. That the State draw from the
Government army shoes and issue one
pair to each enlisted man before the
annual encampment in order that the
footwear be uniform. l noticed at the
Maneuvers that many men had sore
feet. not because Of the long marches
but because Of the fact that they had
shoes that were too tight or had too
thin sOles.
3D. That the Militia Law be changed
so that all the line officers shall be Sc
Iected by the Governor from a list of
candidates who have taken an examina-
tiOn for a commission, they to be COM
missioned in the regiment and assigned
to the companies. This would be
long step in the right direction for bet
ter work and discipline. 1t would be
an incentive for men to better prepare
work and discipline. 1t would be an
incentive for men to better prepare
themselves for the duties of a soldier,
knowing that it depends on themselves
whether they advance or not, if all ia
voritism was eliminated from the ser
vice and men who were the best quail
fled would be recognized first.
The volunteer soldier OF the United
States. take him all in all. is physically
sounder and morally straighter than
the same class in any other country.

in their veins have their faults and
limitations; they come higher than do
the ranks of other lands: they fight
harder with fewer numbers accom-
plish more and greater results; pull the
trigger quicker when they get the word

of their own people and their country.
proud Of their flag; stout hearted. law
abiding; and as rule are men to be
depended on at all times: willing to
give their time and strength to quality
themselves for these duties; only ask

citizens to feel that in the National
Guard they have a body Of men who
can be relied upon whenever 1t be-
comes necessary to call upon them.
In conclusion I desire to thank the

Success and It's Secret.

Chas. B. Rouse, who rose fro m poor working boy to be many times millionaire and of world wide fame as business man says:
 "Keep good company or none. Never be idle. If your hands cannot be fully employed, attend to the cultivation of your mind. Always speak the truth. Make few promises. Live up to your engagements. Keep your own secrets, if you have any. When you speak to a person, look him in the face. Good company and good conversation are the very sinews of virtue. Good char acter is above all things else. Your character cannot be es- sentially injured, except by your own acts. If any one speaks evilof you, let your life be so that none will believe him. Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors. Ever live-misfortune excepted-within your income. When you retire, think over wha t you have been doing duiing tn @ day. Never play at game of chance. Avoid temptation, through fear that you may not withstand it. Earn money before you spend it. Never run into debt unless.you can see way out of it again. Never borrow " if you can possibly avoid it. Do not marry until you are able to support a wife. Never speak evil of any one. Be just before you are generous. Keep your self innocent, if you would be happy. Save when you are young, to spend when you are old. Read over the above maxims at least once a week"

Lest We Forget.

Lest we forget that four years ago our county was carried for whiskey license; lest we forget that two years ago we only de- feated license by shamefully small majority; again lest we forget that the enemy never tires and are and have been us- ing ev cry legitimate and illegiti- mate means available to again carry the county in favor of this nefarious business; also, lest we forget on Sept. 9th to begin at the bottom of the ticket and vote up instead of down; the ticket being very lengthy one we loose interest before reaching the uItimate; now the most inn portant part of the ticket, l ask you to vote as you pray, for the welfare of your country, your home and everything that is dear to you. For your country, because by careful examination of every business interest we find it decidedly better without than with the saloon. For your home because there will be more bread and meat and better ap- peral, larger bank account, a happier wife, better boys and sweeter girls.
 The saloon is the nesting place of crime. A prominent attorney told the writer that about 90 per cent of it was traceable directly or indirectly to whiskey. It is where fights and murders are committed. It is where the scarlet woman resorts for patron l age. Whiskey is the mother of corrupt politicians who for a mere pittance will sell their con- stituteets' rights.
 Alas! how many of our boys are ruined for time and eternity by this demon.
 Thus, fellow citizens, who have any regard whatever for the moral and financial welfare of our country, will you by your

DECIDED TO
HOLD DANCE.
High School Alumni Will Give
Reception to Members Of
Graduating Class.

The Executive Committee of the
High School Alumni Association, in
whose charge was placed the arrange
lnents for the talked-of reception to
the graduating class of 1904, had a
meeting recently Mt which 1t was
definitely decided to hold the dance.

ception might be abandoned, on 40
count of finances and the comparative
lv small amount of interest displayed.
Last year the recep tion was held on
the night for graduation, fol owing the
commencement exercises. This year
it is planned to hold it during the
week after commencement. 1t will
be given in Wilder Hall, and music
will probably be furnished by Mazzei

played at the alumni dance in Decem-
Der. Each member of the association
will have the privilege Of inviting one
guest.
