Maine Picture Films to Be
Shown All Over the World
III tell the world.

Iii tell the world"
And so the State of Maine has a
perfect right to use the overseas ex-
preston in talking about itself.
Maine is really going to tell the
world what it is doing and the medium
of the telling is to be the Official
Centennial Pictures which have now
been completed and which are practi-
cally ready for distribution.
These pictures. taken by the Com
munity Motion Picture Bureau of
New York. show all the institutions
of Maine. the colleges and many of
the other phases of Names life.
Among them are some excellent views
of the institutional work at the State
School for Girls in Hallowell, the
State School for Boys at South Port
land. the Women's Reformatory and
the other correctional and charitable
homes. Not only is the work shown,
but the photography of the pictures
is SO beautiful and Maine views are
brought out so strongly that they
rival the much touted scenery of Cali
fornia.
1t is these pictures, those showing
what Maine is doing for its parent
less and other unfortunates, that will
be shown all over the world. The
Community Motion Picture Bureau
has a system Of distribution that ex-
tends to the farthest corners of the
earth. Governor Carl f. Milliken,

When our granddad went to mar

in 1913, he didn't have to stop at the
bank to cash fresh Liberty bond or
negotiate a mortgage on the COW pas
ture back of the barn. He took a

day dinner, from soup to nuts, he
had enough left to buy haircut and
a shave, and three drinks at the Com
mercial House bar.
In those good old days there was
SO much bacon lying around the house
that they used it for carp bait and to
grease boots with. AS for pig, lamb
and roast beef, they got SO tired of
those things that they would walk a
mile and half over in the woods and

the only time granddad ever lost his

pair of top-boots, containing enough
leather to make fifteen pairs Of mod

! The Sunday dinner had no terrors
for our ancestors. They did not sit
around until 2 p. m. on Sunday hoping
somebody would invite them out to
eat. The old man would take his

and go down in the woods and pick
off a Sunday dinner in less time
than the modern housewife can get
her makeup on.
There was a standing bet on in ev-
cry village that no man could eat a
quail day for thirty days. Turkey,
venison and grouse became monoto-
nous on the bill Of fare. When they
had turkey they ate the white meat
and threw the dark meat to the dogs.
A turkey nowadays costs what grand
father used to get for weeks work.

FeIO More Meetings
of Cabinet, Belief
BY United Press.


Washington March 25.--Continued
failure of President Wilson to as
semble his cabinet, a project approv
ed more than month ago by DR.
Cary T. Grason, gives color to the
belief of some officials that these
time-honored conclaves will be few
and far-between during the remain
der of his administration.
Even before the resignation of
Robert Lansing, resulting from Will
sons ire over the calling of "infor-
NAL conferences by the then secre-
tary Of state, the president had DR..
Grayson's full sanction to convene
and preside over his group of de-
partmental secretaries. A week af-
ter the sensational episode of Febru-
ary 10, White House officials looked
for cabinet meeting in a short
time. 1t did not eventuate, however,
and latterly there has been no talk
of an imminent call.
The clearing house method exemi
plified by the cabinet meetings might
be supplanted by two or three-man
conferences between the president
and secretaries of departments, con-
cerned in any stated case.
