WALKERS FUNERAL
 HELD THIS MORNING
His Last Act Was to Send S1 to
 French War Orphan

The last chapter In the fife and death story of William F. Walker. who died suddenly Tuesday night in the Professional building where he was employed as clerk. was written this morning when the funeral services were held at o'clock. Rev, Henry W. Maier, pastor of the FirSt Con- hregational church, officiated and in- terment was in New London in the Walker family plot beside his father, Rev, William c. Walker who came to New Britain as pastor of the First Baptist church during the civil war. In which great conflict the broken old man, whose funeral was held this morning. served in the Union army as an apprentice seaman.
 There was a touch of more than ordinary sentiment and pathos in the stories, printed yesterday disclosing. for the first time publicly, that Walk CT for five years had been supporting d French war orphan. a young IA year old girl, in France, even sac rihcing money that he needed for his own necessities of life. A perusal of Walkers effects yesterday showed that the last thing he did in this life was to write a letter to his little French orphan friend, enclosing a dollar hili expressing the hope that she was well and was doing well in school. In this letter he also remarked that he was enjoying good health and was doing very well in his business. He also thanked her for her last letters and told her that her little notes to him brough him great happiness. He had 1 just finished signing the letter when he left the room. never to return. Mrs. Helen Burgess of West Main street, an elderly widow, with whom Walker boarded, was deeply grieved at his death. She and her friends say that his kindness to her. especial ly during a period of severe illness when he personally aided in caring for her home, and also in nursing her, was like that Of son.
 ] Following is the letter Mir Walker wrote to the little French girl, Marie Cilly of Norlaix. France:

Gov. Baxter Not
Authorized to Make
Armistice Holiday

Governor Baxter recently issued a
proclamation designating November
18th as Armistic Day and calling on
all citizens to give it proper obser-
vance. The Governor has received
Q good many inquiries asking if the
day was a legal holiday. Under the
Maine laws the Governor has no
power to establish legal holidays, for
only the Legislature can take such
action.
In Governor Bakers proclama-
ton. he used the following phrase:
Il call upon all citizens to give pro-
per observance to the day, though in
doing so there be some sacrifice of
personal convenience or business in
terests." From this it Will be seen
that the Governor realized that he
had no power to establish a legal
holiday, but hoped that citizens and
storekeepers would give the day pro-
per observance. The matter must
remain in the discretion of every CT
tizen to observe the day according to
his own conscience. Governor Bax-
ter himself is going to Sanford, to
deliver an address to the World War
veterans and citizens of Sanford, and
adjoining towns.

their own growers are represented.
Reports have come into the state,
telling us what was being done by
ether states in advertising their good
seed. and it is hoped that we will
learn from observation, just what
some of our short comings are. in
this direction.
Mr.. Newdick is in charge of the
seed certification work for the Maine
Department of Agriculture, and ma
turally comes in contact with the
growing potato crop during the sum-
mcr, beyond this, he has visited most
all the track potato houses in the
large shipping centers in Aroostook
county, since digging time, and
should have fair knowledge Of what
our growers have to offer.
To sum up briefly, Mr.. Newdick is
to become a booster for that part of
our potato crop which he feels that
we can stand behind. and which will
do us credit when used for seed in
states to the south of us.
1t is believed that it will take
about three months to make a sur
vey which will be of value to the in
duStry. Expenses for the trip are to
be borne by the transportation lines
interested, and the State will pay
Mr.. Newdick's salary. as it is in the
interests of a proposition which af-
feet a great many of our farmers.

workers and in fact all people who

dustry, and let them know how
Maine stands, and what we are do
ing to build up a better seed bust
ness from this end.
For the last ten or twelve years,
Maine has lost steadily in the south

trip is to get all the information
available. as to why this is so. Other
states have their representatives in
