STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting Of Governor ne p M Tuesday, Jan. 20

Governor Carl E. Milliken Friday
morning issued a proclamation set
ting aside Sunday, January IL. az
Law and Order Sunday" A copy
Of this proclamation has been sent
to every clergyman in the State with
the request that some part of the
services in church on Sunday be de-
voted to the subject.
Governor Milliken in his procla-
nation says:
1T is an interesting coincidence
that Names Centennial year should
witness nation wide adoption of that
Prohibition policy in which Maine
was the pioneer.
I'm the noble record of Names
contribution to the Nations history,
high place must be given to Gen.
Neal Dow, Mrs. L. NJ. N. Stevens and
many other dauntless spirits whose
devoted and valiant service through
the early years Of bitter opposition
opened the way for the final tri-
umph of their cause.
Prohibition is not only embedded
in our organic law. it expresses the
mature conviction Of the great ma
jority of our people after the expert
ence Of many years.
I'm many parts Of the nation,
however. the policy is new and SUI
persedes less drastic local laws here
tofore in effect. Because of this fact
and the disturbing tendency towards
law violation in certain localities,
during the reaction from war strain,
the authorities in Washington have
asked that the attention of all citi-
zens be directed to the vital impor-
lance of obedience to law and loyal
support Of the constituted authori-
ties in the discharge Of their official
duties.
Now, therefore, I, Carl E. Mill
ken, Governor Of Maine. do hereby
designate and set apart. January
eighteenth. next. to be observed as
LAW AND ORDER SUNDAY.
II call upon all good citizens to
make the day an occasion Of patri-
otto dedication to the support Of our
government and all officers Of the
law. For law is but the crystillized

will of the majority under our Con-
stitution. Whoever by precept or
practice encourages violation of law,
strikes at the heart Of the nation no
less surely than he who takes up
arms against the country in time Of
war;"
In the letter to the clergymen
which accompanied copies of the
proclamation, Governor Milliken re-
ferred to the fact that the creation

the request of Commissioner Roper
Of the Internal Revenue Depart
Continuing, the Chief Executive
said:
mot only because prohibition is
our traditional policy but because Of
our location on the Canadian border
where the danger of invasion by the
liquor forces is greatest, Maine is
the most strategic point in the cam
paign Of education and inspiration
by which the authorities in Wash
ington hope to put the public senti-
ment of the nation squarely and en-
Enthusiastically behind the enforce
ment Of National Prohibition.

The non partisan league leaders

of Townley or his paid organizers to
have the farmers prosper. The NIL

comes only from keeping the farm

This is why the Townley kept

tracted with a correspondence school
to make a finished musician Of him
inside Of six months. The school de-
manded s25 for twenty-six lessons,
agreeing to furnish the cornet free
of charge. The instrument put Walt
to work at once and during the warm
nights and all fall the neighbors
reached for imaginary weapons as
they noted progress. note by note. A
kind and considerate sister muted the
thing with a wad of excelsior one

But Walt graduated in time and

Rlackbirds Are Here.

Who has not WATCHED with keen
interest the streaming flight of
blackbirds from their feeding
grounds afield to Meir roosttng
places within the protecting limits
Of the city, as evening comes on?
With approaching autumn the
purple grackle becomes a gregarious
fellow, and the flights Of his kind as
they assemble and fatten for, the
southwark migration, assume the
character If not the proportions OF
the ramed pigeon clio Ids that darl1en-
ed the skies in pioneer days.
In the early spring the grackle is
gorgeous in glistening green and
black. He is quiet, sedate and given
strictly to family affairs. He follows
the plowboy closely picking his
breakfast and his dinner from the
freshly turned furrow, and shows nc
fear of man or team.
But in the autumn his coat is rusty
and his tongue loosens. The sexes
are scarcely distinguIshable as in
creasing flocks spread over the
browning harvest fields. Busy days
these for the grackle, and voracious
his appetite AS tho at a given sig
nal near sun down the return flight
from field to roost begins with a
whirr Of wings, and the scattered
birds swing into the long black line
that marks the sky with black. Let
danger divert the leaders from their
course, and every bird swerves when
it reaches that point like an army
avoiding a pit fall.
Once on the roosts the grackle dis
cusses the adventures of the day
with ceaseless and raucus chatter
that brings some criticism Of his
conduct, but it is a tribute to mans
growing consideration for bird lie
that this annoyance is tolerated and
even enjoyed rather than that the
grackle should furnish the filling for
the old time toothsome blackbird pie.

The Garden of Gethsemane.

So it is well, as we leave the gen.

den of Gethsemane and turn toward
the city, that our hearts have first
been filled with serene joy. We re-
gard the fearfully tried city with
something of the compassion that
the Master felt for it. Seventeen
times estroyed-bittarly hatred
anxiously sought-hoW desperate a
history since observation-disclosures cap
tured it more than tyenty- five CEN
turtles ago. And only the other day,
it seems, at Christmas time in 1917,
Jerusalem was captured again, this
time by it's friends, the British, after
an agreement with the Turks that
the city itself should not be bonn
barded. There was some fighting on
the Mount of Olives, and reconnoit-
ering airplanes dropped a bomb or
two in and about the Garden of
GethSemane. But Jerusalem has
been captured for the last time, and
the last offensive was devoid of evil.
Redeemed today, but in her naked
ness, Jerusalem waits to be clothed.
She has as yet no grace, no covering
