Earnest, pleasing, and commanding the closest
attention from all listeners, the speaker ex-
posed the falsehoods and evasions resorted to
BY the liquor advocates in Maine and outside
the State in their attempt to take the prohibi-
tory clause from the constitution" step
downward" he declared "for the Pine Tree
State" The impression upon the gathering
was evinced by the goodly contribution made
at the close Of Il meeting, the sum to be
forwarded to the Civic League for defraying
expenses Of the campaign in behalf Of this
great temperance fight in Maine-not given.
~ some have said, to the speaker. He is labor
ing without compensation beyond actual ex-
penses for the relief Of humanity from the
mighty curse of alcohol! Who will not join
hands with him in thissgreat crusade? Why
dwell upon the mon. enforcement of our pro-
hibitory laws? Will any high license. laws be
more faithfully executed? Are LIQUOR dealers
in the State and elsewhere pouring out thou
sands of dollars to lessen the consumption of
their vile compounds in Maine? If the pro-
hibitory law did not reduce their sales in the
State would they be lavishing big sums of
money to bring about its repeal in September?

pearance. On the left as one entered were
three attractive booths. The center one, for

ferns, was in charge of Mrs. Andrew M Ross,
assisted by Miss Griffin. On either side were
tables in pale greer At the right was the
food table, where Mrs. Josephine Weber and

SALEM BOYS
DEFEATED BY
JEFFERSON

Playing on a slippery field against
a heavier and more experienced
team, the Salem high school eleven
yesterday held the Jefferson high
school delegation down to a to 0
score Even these two points were
not earned, and came in the minute
of play, when Farmer fell on the ball
back of his own goal line.
Jefferson came down with the in
tention of doubling the score made
by the Washington team when it
played Salem, but a few straight
plays into the line proved that other
tactics would be necessary to gain
yardage, and when couple of for
ward passes were thrown to the
ground, they began to have more
respect for the local boys. There
was not single gutter in the Salem
team. Every one Of the boys worked
hard and honestly. The playing of
Chenoweth, at center, was perhaps
the feature of the game. Time and
again he tore through the Portland
line and tackled the runner behind
his own line. Chenoweth has
played consistent game all the
year, and there is little doubt but
that he will be given the center posi-
tion on the all-star interscholastic
team.
The defensive work of the Salem
boys is beyond criticism. It was al
most impossible for Jefferson to
make yardage through them. Only
in the handling of the punts were
the boys weak, and this fault is the
direct cause of their defeat A punt
from the 45-yard line was missed by
one Of the Salem players, and rolled
back of the line, where~Farmer fell
on it. Jefferson claimed a touch
back, which was allowed.
Hofer did some great work in
both offensive and defensive playing.
Whenever anyone went through the
Jefferson line for 10-yard gain,
with half dozen players hanging to
his limbs, it was usually Hofer, In
fact sometimes he was too anxious,
and was penalized twice for being
offside. Beckett also did a yeoman's
share Of the. work, and deserves no
little credit for the showing Salem
made against the visitors. Smith
played the game of the year, even
after receiving a broken nose, and it
was a well defended play that went
