Thanksgiving Day,

and ask the people of Maine to devote
themselves earnestly to it's observance
and service
The spirit in which the festival was con-
ceived and the traditions which surround
1t should incline all to expressions of
gratitude and acts of kindness Ma
teriai prosperity may we'll prove to he a

led by full sense of its obligations and
limitations. but when in the hearts of a
people there abide reverence and char
ty the State is safe and the future Sc
cure.
GIVEN at the Executive Chamber at

TIE title of largest schooner grows

The title of largest schooner grows a
bit confused. Up to this week the
Eleanor a. Percy was the largest in
the world in outside dimensions and
the steel William L. Douglas, the larg-
est in gross measurement Now the
Edward y. Winslow comes along. In
length she is less than the Percy and
greater than the Douglas, in beam
equal to the Percy and greater than
the Douglas. and in depth, greater
than either of her rivals. The Percy
remains the longest of the great
scnooners, the Winslow may claim first
place considering the three outside di-
mensiOrS. and the Douglas with her
register of 31oS gross tons has the
greatest capacity.

The work of taking up the buoys
along the Maine coast at the mouths
of the rivers and in the rivers them
selves is well under way and will soon

up the rivers as far as the United

buoyS in the streams are taken lp to
prevent their being carried out by the
ice and the can buoys at the mouths of
the rivers are replaced with spars I'M
