Miss Margaret NJ. Chase, presiding.
Notice was given of the mid-winter
meeting of the Maine Federation of

Consider the Birds

This is the beginning of long Win
ter for our bird life and let's try to
appreciate their situation in regard
to meal ticket. Probably thousands
perish through utter thoughtlessness
and neglect on the part of we hu-
mans who ourselves little realize the
severity of their lot during the months
of snow and ice. If instead of other
wise disposing of table crumbs, bits of
stale bread and the like, let's resolve
to toss them outside where our feath-
cred visitors may make good use OF
them in the course of their untiring
search for a square meal.
One thoughtful Skowhegan man
buys grain which he scatters to hun
cry pigeons much to their apparent
delight. 1t is not at all unusual to
see scores of the pretty fellows greed
lily taking advantage of his good ma
ture. But whether we feed them
grain, crumbs or anything else let's
feed them something while the snow
prevents them from obtaining their
nourishment in the usual manner.

After Investigation Ex-
tending Over Nine Days

Game Warden E. P. King on one
of his recent trips into the north
woods country succeeded, after a
most diligent investigation extending
over nine days, in securing the ne
cessary evidence to effect the arrest
OF two violators of the game law.
AS a result of his findings the Game
Warden brought John Blum and Geo.
Gagnon. both of Jackman, before
Judge Holden for Illegal fishing in
Misery Town back of Cold Stream.
Blum was fined 500, 81 each for the
ten fish in his possession and costs
OF 1885. A fine OF $40 was impos-
ed on Gagnon. 81 each for nine fish
and costs amounting to $13.S5. That
he might be with his family on
Christmas day Mr.. King walked sew
eral miles through the wilderness at
night to the nearest transportation
station. fTlfis story brings to mind
some. of the hardships endured by
our wardens and forest rangers in
the execution of. their official duties.

Christmas Day ut the Jackman Lum-
Der Company
(Contrihutedl

Christmas Day at the Jackman
Lumber Company's plant was thoro-
ly enjoyed by everyone residing at
their boarding house. John Childs
was kept busy with his one ton truck
from Sunday morning until Tuesday
night bringing parcels from the ex-
press and post office. These We're
mostly for the ladies. "A goodly
number of valuable and useful gifts
were received. The mill shut down
Saturday night Dec. 22nd and opera
lions were not resumed until We'd
nesday morning, Dec. 26th, thereby
giving the boys three days recess
which they all seemed to appreciate.
At IL o'clock bountiful dinner was
served consisting of roast turkey
with dressing, giblet and cranberry
sauce, mashed potatoes, mashed
squash, sugar cookies, fruit cake,
plum pudding, hard sauce, oranges
and apples, young American cheese,
tea coffee, milk. After everyone had
done justice to this splendid repast
some of the younger boys struck up
singing the Christmas Carols which
consisted of such numbers as Hail,
Hail the Gangs All Here" and Hes
a Jolly Good Fellow" The singing
was led by Jos. McInnis and Corn
Miller. John Mcdonald acted as
POSTMASTER and held the boys with
his funny jokes and witty remarks.
After wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Hender-
son many happy returns of the sea-
sons greetings they departed for their
respective quarters to await the whis-
tie on the morrow.

ROofless MO0sehead Unusual in De-
cember

William Folsom Merrill, Esq, took
boat ride at Moosehead Lake on
Saturday, December %. Ice boat?
No. motor boat. The great expanse
of water was free from ice and Mr..
Merrills ten mile ride while probably
somewhat cool one was without
difficulty.
OF course this situation is indeed
exceptional. Usually at this time
tons of freight may be toted across
the lake with perfect safety. The
fleet of lake steamers operated until
the 10th of December when lack of
business. rather than presence of ice,
forced them to discontinue navigating
in preference to Smaller craft
Lake Moxie at the time of Attor-
ney Merrilrs journey, was frozen
over sufficiently to permit skating.

Shade Tree Yields Two Cords Good
Wood

John c. Griffin had shade tree cut
on Mechanic street near a house
owned by him, last week. 1t was a
maple very likely planted when the
house was built, perhaps 60 years ago.
William Boiler was the workman in
charge The tree yielded two cords
OF first quality wood for fuel. 1t
was not cut primarily for fuel pur-
poses but because it was old and its
branches had become a menace to
those passing.

DESIGN ACCEPTED
FORSTONE CROSSES
Will Be Placed Over All
Christian Graves of Dead
in France.

Secretary Weeks has accepter rec
concentrations made by the Battle
Monuments Commission, headed by
Gen. Pershing. for the erection OF
stone crosses over the graves of Amer
lean soldier dead in France.
The approved designs call for the
expenditure of s54S,55o for this work
and specify that the new markers fol-
low the design of the wooden crosses
now being used. The graves of SOL
dters of the Jewish faith will be dis
tinguished by star of David, the
design of which has not yet been de-
cided upon
Regulations adopted by the COM
mission provide that there shall be no
variation in the types of headstones
officially adopted for use in the Amer
lean military cemeteries abroad
ChapeIx at Cemeteries.
1t has been further decided by the
commission that chapel or memorial
hA;l ''of religious. but nom -sectarian,
character" should be erected at each
of the eight American military ceme-
teries in Europe In each of the
chapels suitable markers will be placed
commemorating services rendered by
American troops buried in the respec
tive cemeteries, and some type of me-
mortal also will recall the services of
those who remain missing in action"
Decision also has been reached to
erect commemorative monuments of
major offensive actions by American
troops at Montfaucon. Hattonchatel
and Chateau Thierry. American par
ticipation in other localities will be
commemorated ty historical monu-
mentS of modest design
The program. in addition, includes
the erection of a modest memorial at

let's at Chaumont. Souilly and Toul
and a monument at Tours.
