which has prevailed for several seasons
past. the Augusta and Hallowell local
football teams will meet and do battle
royal, Thanksgiving morning. This will
be the closing game of the season. and
as football entertainment has been
rather scant, this year, it is quite prob
able that this game will be witnessed
by big crowd.

SHELDON TO SEE HOCH
Would Talk Over Liquor Situation
With Governor.

Charles NJ. Sheldon called upon
Governor Hoch Tuesday afternoon, but
didn't see the governor. OF course the
governor did not know that Mr.. Shell
don was waiting to see him. or he
would probably have turned out the
bunch of politicians and job hunters
who were monopOlizing his time. And
Mr.. Sheldon is not the kind of a man
who will push himself in where he
isn't invited.
Mr.. Sheldon called to talk over the
prohibition situation with Governor
Hoch. He refused to say exactly
what he intended to present to the
governor. He said:
IT have some very decided views
myself about what the duties of the
governor of the state are, and some
time expect I will say what I think
on the subject. But I want to talk it
over with the governor first"
Mr.. Sheldon will preach about the
prohibition situation next Sunday, apG
all the other ministers in Topeka will
do the same. They will tell what
they think the governor ought to do.
