Thanksgiving Proclamation.

HGod-fsaring nation, like ours, owes
1t to Its Unborn and sincere sense OF NOR
al duty to testify Its devout gratitude to
the All.giver for the countless benefits 1t
has enjoyed. For many years 1t has
been customary at the close of the year
for the national Executive to call upon
bis fellow countrymen to offer praise and
thanks to God for the manifold blessings
vouchsafed to them in the past and to
unite in earnest suppliance for their con-
tinuance.
The year now drawing to close has
been notably favorable to our fortunate
land. At peace within and without. free
from the perturbations and calamities
that have afflicted other peoples, rich In
hsrvests 30 abundant, and industries so
productive that the overflow OF our
prosperity has sdvantaged the whole
world, strong In the steadfast conserva-
ton Of the heritage Of self-government'
bequeathed to US by the wisdom OF our
fathers, and firm In the resolve to trans
nit that heritage unimpaired but rather
improved by good use to our children
and our children's children for all time
to come, the people OF this country have
abundant cause for contented gratitude.
Therefore l, William Howard Taft,
President of the United States OF Ameri-
| ca, in pursuance of long established u.s.
age, and In response to the wish OF the
American people, invite my country men,
wheresoever they may sojourn, to join,
on Thursday, the 2Sth day OF this month
of November, In appropriate sscription
of praise and thanks to God for the good
gifts that have been our portion, and In
humble prayer that His great merciss to-
ward %, may endure.

Football.

HEBRON ACADEMY o; KKNr's HILL o.
Quite large delegation OF football
enthusiasts from this village went Il
Hebron Saturday afternoon to witness
one Of the championship games Of the
Maine fitting schools, played between
Hebron and Kent's Hill. A. was ex.
pected the two teams proved to DO very
closely matched and neither team had
the offensive strength to take tho ball
across the goal line after getting It to .
distance from which Q score seemed
posslble.
During the greater part OF the first
two quarters Hebron slightly outplayed
the visiting team and kept the ball In
their opponents' territory most Of the
time. Near the end of the half Hebron
succeeded in carrying tho ball to within
about 20 yards Of Kent's Hills goal line,
but here the visitors defense showed Ito
strength and Hebron unable to advance
the required distance, called upon Ma
dean for q drop kick. While he stood
nearly In front Of the goal and within
easy distance, the condition of the new
athletic field was such that 1t was we'll
nigh impossible to make q good drop
kick and the kick went we'll to the left
of the goal posts.
At the beginning Of the second half
Hebron blocked kick within twenty
yards of Kent's Hill's line, but Kent's
Hill man regained possession Of the ball
and then the visitors gradually worked
the ball down into Hebron's territory,
showing the best attack they displayed
during the game. Soon, however, they
were forced to punt but this proved An
advantage to them, as In one Of the first
line-ups Hebron back dropped the ball
and Kent's Hill player gathered 1t in
and was not stopped until he reached
Hebron's thirty yard line. This was the
visitors best chance to score. but He
bron was equal to the task and took the
ball from them on downs.
Hebron gained more ground than
Kent's Hill, using an open attack and
making the best gains on end runs, for
which they formed q first class inter-
ference. Kent's Hills end plays did not
run as smoothly and they were forced to
use more mass plays. The art of max
ing successful forward pass seemed to
be- lost to both teams, and Hebron's
best chance for long run and possible
was lost when one Of Its men
dropped q perfect pass with no one be-
tween him and the goal line.
Near the close of the game Hebron &C.
cured the ball within striking distance
md with less than minute to play tried |
. goal from placement, but the Kent's |
Hill forwards went through and blocked
he play and the teams left the field,
,either having anything to show for Its
afternoon work but good lot of mud,
which every player carried of the field
With him.
