Temperance Day
Friday, Mar. 6
In Public Schools

DR.. Augustus .. Thomas' stale
commissioner Of education. Tuesday
sent a letter to superintendent OF
schools and teachers concerning the
observance of Temperance Day
which will be observed tridav'
March 6, in the public schools. This
is in accordance with Sections one
and two of Chapter 109 OF the pupnc
laws of 1921, requiring that one 40
minute period during one day In the
wear be set apart and used for IN
struction in the history and Dement'S
of prohibition and prohibitory laws.
commissioner Thomas in this par
ticular is cooperating with the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union.
He suggests that the children study
the lives, of Col. Neal Dow. Frances
T.. Willard and other great workers
in the cause, with special emphasis
upon Neal Dow as a Maine man and
a leader in the cause OF temperance
and prohibition legislation. He calls
attention to the. life and spirit OF
this wonderful man and his univers-
al service to mankind and suggests
that the life and works OF Neal DOW
should be part of every school H.
brary and the children encouraged to
draw from its pages the inspiration
which the biography Of a courageous
soul may convey.
Commissioner Thomas asks that
the schools of the state take the fol-
lowing quotation from Abraham Lin
coin as the motto for the day and
that each child in the schools COM
nit It to memory as choice express
sion Of the necessity Of organized
government and obedience to the
law.
LET everyone remember that he
who violates the laws of the land
tramples on the blood Of the fathers
and tears asunder the charter OF his
own and his childrens liberty"
The suggestion is also made that
attention be paid during the year to
the teaching Of temperance hygiene
as outlined in the state course Of
study, and also that the schools CO.
operate in the program Of Gov.
Brewster in the 'Know Maine Pro-
ducts" campaign ane the opportun-
tiles the state presents for successful
careers for the young people.
Suggested Programs
The following is suggested pro-
gram for lower grades: l. Scripture
Reading: 2. Some patriotic song; 3.

Many people who look with pessl-
mistic eyes upon modern Inventions
have expressed the fear that present
day joy riding would become a
means of wrecking home life.
recent speaker at a gathering OF
home builders said, Gas ,line Is one
of the most powerful weapons USED
by the devil for casing the modern
home. joy riding Is becoming SO
much the habit that the home means
only a place to sleep in, or perhaps
to eat an occasional meal
Strong exception was taken to this
statement by many of those present
and the position was advanced that
the automobile was actually proving
one of the most useful factors In the
movement for better homes
After a restful ride into the coun-
try it is next to impossible for the
average man or woman to feel sat
isfed and contented in the drab sur
roundings which hitherto have been
accepted as a matter of course. Col
or and design, as expressed IN ma
ture, stimulate a reaction in the
average mind which calls for a re-
production of this same cheerfulness

over-run the institution and ambu-
lance men almost had to fight their
way inside. A near riot resulted
when policemen attempted to drive
the crowds away.
County officers were at a loss to
account for the kidnapping. The
captives could give no reason for
their being taken and said they re-
cognized none of the men. During
their captivity, they said no hint was
dropped as to why they were being
held.
Mason was called to Signal
Mountain on the night of June % by
a telephone message saying that
horse belonging to Sam Lewis,
mountaineer, was sick. The person
calling suggested that he ask
Bowman to accompany him as a
guide.
When they reached the Lewis
home they were told that no mes
sage had been sent. Lewis told
them that trouble was brewing and
warned them against any attempt to
return to the city that night.
While DIR. Mason apparently had
a premonition that all was not we'll,
he declared he intended to return
home at all hazards and left with
Bowman.
Nothing was heard of the pair I'M
til the next morning when Mason's
blood stained auto was found on a
lonely road atop the mountain. Both
mems hats were in the machine and
Bowman's apparently had been
struck with a heavy cudgel.
Organized posses combed the
mountains for several days without
a clue and it was believed Mason and
Bowman had been killed and their
bodies hidden in one of the nu-
merous caves and gulches of the
region. A reward of $1,000 was Of
fered for them, alive or dead.
For some years a bitter feud has
existed between the Bowman and
Godsey factions over alleged liquor
making transactions and this was
climaxed several months ago when
Benson Godsey killed 1--we and
wounded Homer Bowman, brothers
of Lawrence, in pistol fight.
Since then Lawrence Bowman has
actively aided prohibition officers in
searching out stills said to have been
operated by the Godseys. w. E.
Grub, prohibition agent, was
brought into the fued when he ar
rested an illeged liquor runner be-
longing to the Godsey clan. Suisse
quently with his brother, John,
Grub was shot on the streets of
Chattanooga by Sam Godsey, alleg-
ed leader of his clan. Godsey later
caused Grubb's arrest on a charge
of selling liquor.
What connection DR.. Mason had
with the fued is not known, although
he was friendly with the Bowman
Thomas faction. His family be-
lieves he was used only as bait to
obtain the presence of Bowman on
the mountain and that when Bow
man was attacked, went to his aid.
