The commissioner Of agriculture. VIM. T.
Guptill plans to attend the banquet next
Monday night at Springfield, Mass, Of the
MANAGEMENT Of the National Dairy Show,
the governors and agricultural commission
ers Of the New England stetes, when the
whole question Of what New England will
do for the show and its success will be dis
cussed 1t is understood that the COVER
nors will the night before have special
meeting and conference with the manage
ment.
This is the first time that New England
has had this national show and as dairy
ing is an important item in the business Of
Maine, it is particularly important that her
interests be we'll represented. The meeting
will be an important one.
Story Of the Commissions
Sent out any important commissions
lately?" was asked Deputy Secretary OF
State 1. M. McGouldrick. mo, it has
been rather quiet in that line since the
last meeting of the Governor and Coun-
Gil. In fact the book shows but two

opened big book bearing the inscrip-
ton Commissions Delivered"
Come little work, eh. to keep track
of and look after all the commissions
bearing the seal of the State of
Maine?"
well. yes, there is lot of work in
it, more than people would imagine.
An absolutely correct account and rec
ord of each and every one is kept,
so that it is possible at moments
notice to find all about any that might
be wanted. Look at this commissions
Delivered" 1t is a record that tells at
a glance the number, volume and page
where it is recorded, date Of appoint
ment, name Of appointee, residence,
county, the Office. when and how deliv-
cred and by whom signed. A brief but
pretty good history, is it not?
Then here Is the Nomination Book
which contains all the nominations, en-
tered on the day Of confirmation, and
carrying with each a similar brief his
tory as shown by the other book. Sew
eral books are made up of fac smile
forms of the commissions issued to
some of the important officials scat
tered all over the State and this record
is an exact duplicate Of the commits
sion itself. One book includes records
of a variety of minor officials. though
the commissions look rather imposing
and the holders probably realize the
full importance of the office.
ITO complete the list we have an in

a way as to be easily found every COM
