son of Eric the Red, who sailed
from Greenland to Labrador and
down the coast of Maine. The
next probable voyage to this
coast was by John Cabot in 1897
and later by his son Sebastian.
1t was, however, Capt. John
Smith, the leading spirit of the
settlement at jamestown, who
sailed as far north as the Penob-
scot and first drew a rough chart
of 1t.
In the grant by James 1 to
the Plymouth Colony Maine was
included in their territory. OPP
position to the Plymouth Colony
arose among the kings courtiers
and Sir Ferdinando Gorges and
Captain Mason succeeded in OBJ
tanning for themselves rights to
the country between the Merri-
mac and Kennebec rivers. This
they divided, Gorges taking the
northern section. Meanwhile
Gorges had sent over small col
ony to the mouth of the Kenne-
bee, but this settlement was soon
abandoned. The first permanent
settlement was made in 1925 at
what is now York. Massachu-
sets objected to GOrges' claim
and finally annexed all the terri
tory up TO Casco Bay and called
this northern section the District
OF Maine. Maine was dissatisfied
with the rule of the mother state
and by 1920 succeeded in being
admitted to the Union as the
twenty-third state.
Maine was the first state to
adopt prohibition. In the begin
ming Maine was strongly Demo
cratic. 1t was largely for this
reason that she objected to be-
Ing ruled by Massachusetts
which was Federalist. Since
1856, however, Maine has been /!
decidedly Republican. 1t has six I;
electoral votes for president.
The name Maine was so desig- !
mated In the charter of 1889 In ]
which Charles 1 granted this i;
land to Gorges 1t had already !.
been commonly used by the sail
ors as distinguishing the main !.
land from the many islands ::
along the shore. The nickname |.
for the state is the Pine Tree :;

Care for Riddles
at Tourist Camp
During State Fair

A children's playground, where
parents may leave their children in
care of an instructor while they at
tend the state fair, is a feature of the
state fair tourist camp announced by
Secretary Horace Ensign. The play
grounds will be inclosed and equipped
with shade and suitable amusements.
Establishing of the Fairgrounds is
announced in anticipation of the large
number of families that will this year
make the trip to the fair in auto
mobiles. The plan is intended to over
come a difficulty that has on previous
years prevented many families from at
tending or even from going to Helena
during fair week.
Reservations may be made at the
tourist camp in advance of the open
ing Of the fair, by writing to the
secretary.

Australian government has put under
the ban, and the above articles as well
as many others are included in the list.
Checks. money orders, and postal
bonds, except those addressed to bank
ers, are forbidden. Bibles, prayer

printed, and merchandise of any kind,
