The Legion boys played in specially
hard luck in their shooting. The

Very often the ball would roll
around the rim of the basket and

fastest game for the local players
and got several specially fine baskets.
Dumas did excellent work under the
basket scoring four baskets from
passes that were made to him. Fisk
and Conner did not have their usual
record of baskets but they played a
good game. Gibson played the best
game he had played this season. He
did some excellent work in guarding

of the big question mark that presents
itself to the women voters when they
pick the party with whom they intend to
cast their lot, Col. Frederick Parkhqrst

urge upon them the Importance of an
early affiliation with one of the parties
and earnestly hope that they will choose
the Republican party and accept it as
do as the best instrument with which to
achieve good government.
On the surface it may seem that the
problems of State government are nom
political and unrelated to those great
principles that divide the two major par
ties, but you will, am sure, find as | do
that when subjected to analysis, there
exists direct and intimate relation be-

is not easy to distinguish between cause
and effect We may not be sure in every

that in principle and membership the
party stands for constitutional govern

businesslike administration, that it's men,

make our Government in State and

Fisheries.

In his discourse here today OF the ques-
ton of the establishmen mt of school oi
fisheries in this State Col. Parkhurst
said, in part:
"The coast line of Maine, equallinG as
it does nearly one half of the tidal coast
line of the Atlantic, lends itself to the
fishing industry and justifies the expec-
tation that our fisheries could be greatly
developed.
cat the present time the average con-
sumption of fish is Is pounds per capita,
in Canada it is 29 pounds per capita, IN
Great Britain So pounds. In Great BRIT
ian very determined effort Is being
made to increase the consumption.
One person in every ~ IN the United
Staten is directly dependent on the fish
ing industry and yet in the entire United
States there is only one college where
course in fishing technique IS given. Ae-
ricultural and scientific schools abound,
but the fishing population is neglected by
both the State and Federal governments
At the University of Washing eton, locat-
ed at Seattle, courses are given in the
canning of fish, in the curing OF fish, in
the classification and habits of Pacific
fish, in the diseases and parasites of fish,
in he elements of navigation. A short
course in gas engines.
''In Japan, which has become the lead
ing fishing nation of the world, tech
nical and professional instruction of fish
ermen is regarded as an indispensable
factor.
Gan endeavor should be made to es-
tablish such school in connection with
the University of Maine, aided by the
Federal government. l am assured by
Congressman White, who is deeply in
terested in the subject, that we might
hope for assistance from Congress.
"At the present time our fisheries are
giving employment to 10000 persons,
and the value of the catch in 1919 ex-
ceeded $4,000, ,OO0."
