National Guard

Adjutant General George Mel Pres
son has received plaas Of armories re-
Gently erected in several states and
which have proved very satisfactory to
those sections and took them with him
Thursday afternoon to Lewiston, where
IN the evening he met Colonel A. j.
stearns of Norway and Major J. l.. Mo-
riarty of Lewiston in regard to the pro-
posed new armories in this State. They
had in consultation with them Archi
tect Coombs and Lieutenant Colonel
James L. Palmer. as we'll as CAPTAINS
w. c. Bryant and Earle E. Reade of the
Coast Artillery companies of Lewiston.
and the matter was thoroughly zone
over.
1t is the hope Of the adjutant general
as well as every officer and enlisted
man OF the National Guard that armo-
ries will at least be provided by the
State at the coming session of the Leg
islature for Bangor and Lewiston. The
need for suitable quarters for the Ma
tfonal Guard In these cities is pressing.
The requests from various sections of
the State for the location in certain
places of platoons of the National
Guard infantry shows that interest in
the Guard is good and there will prob
ably be little or no difficulty in secur-
ing the additional number required un-
der the new federal organization.

HUNTING NOTES

If you really want to go bear
hunting, why not take a try at Mr..
Bruin who has been seen at intervals
during the past few months In the
vicinity of this village? Last week
the bear was still in this locality
and visited pasture on Morrison
Jill near West Pennington where it
killed two sheep. The carcasses had
been entirely consumed, the bear
leaving only the pelts, each rolled
up with the flesh side out. The ami
NAL evidently likes the forage it Is
finding hereabouts and will probably
remain in this section until cold
weather drives it to it's den for the
long winter sleep-Farmington Jour-
nal.
Over sixty deer were received Mon
day at Bangor for shipment to other
points, but on Tuesday but six were
received. The receipts up to Thursday
Nov. 8, 1916 were 67S deer and IA bears.
The same date Of 1915 shoyed GA deer
ana 81 bears.

The case Of Old Dog Blue seems -
nave attracted more attention than one
might expect. In the first place the SOC.
rotary of war noted the letter sent fror,
the home of Blue in Arkansas and ner-
sonally had it sent to the division Of
militia affairs. with instructions to as
.er'ain what mad becoipsso of the animal
and also see, that OH bpg Blue, when
located. had good charters and rood
care.
Then the latter came to the adjutant
general OF Maine. .wh also decided that
was a matter requiring prompt and
careful attention and passed it along

Editor kennebec Journal,
Augusta. Maine.
Dear Sir
1t is with feelings Of profound
gratitude. thank you for two copies Of
the Journal containing references to
Old Blue, the faithful town dog and
guardian Of the post office at this place.
We were confident that Blue ran
away with the Maine soldier BOYS when
they stopped over here en- route home
from Texas. In fact, Mr.. Albright, the
cashier OF the Bank of Hoxie. saw the
good fellows assisting Blue on to the
train.
Those brave boys are welcome to
Blue, though 1t breaks our heart to
part with him. hut we feel much COM
forted in reading your itsm concern
ing the comforts he will receive at their
ha'ds. We are willing to make any
reasonable sacrifice for the pleasure of
the boys-there is nothing too GOOD
down this way for them, when we
know they are willing to die for orr
country. If need be.
IL thrilled our hearts to see thous.
ands OF the brave soldier BOYS passing
through here last summer en- route to
the Border, not knowing whether thew
would return or not, but with cheerful
hearts, regardless of whatever fate
might await them. they, 50 far as thew
Knew might have been going to a
hero's death upon a field Of glory.
We knew however, they would re-
meet honor upon their country. bring
glory to themselves. proving again to
the world that the. American soldier
has not yet found his equal.
Now boys, of the and Maine our
hearts are with Old Blue and the bra We
boys whom he has chosen as his last
friends, so kindly care for him in his
old age, and when he has ended lies
battle, bury him in a soldiers grave
ana let him sleep on in the grave where

MAY NUT KILL
 GAME

WASHINGTON. July 2. - It has been decided that under the law it will not be possible for the war de partment officials, when travelling in Alaska. to kill game necessary for food It was urgently recommended by the chief signal officer that the game regulations be modified so as to permit this killing, but it was decided after carefully reading the law that this would not be possible.
 It Is explained in support of the request that it is permissible for ln- dians, prospectors and explorers to kill game for food. and 1t was thought wise to extend the privilege to govern ment officials.
 Before this permission can be given 1t will be necessary to change the ex- isting law, which fOrbids the killing of any wild game in Alaska except during certain seasons, and contains an exemption clause authorizing the killing Of game at any time by natives, miners or explorers. when in need of food"
 It Is clear. say the authorities, that the secretary of agriculture. to whom it was suggested that the appeal be made, has no authority to enlarge the exempted list. He is only authorized to vary statutory regulations when he shall deem 1t necessary for the preser- vation of game, placing restrictions and limitations on the killing of such animals and birds.
 An effort will be made to amend the law in the interest of the object here set forth.
