graceful, aristocratic and vari-col-
ored bird. the Chinese ring-necked
pheasant is thriving on the prairies
of South Dakota.
The game bird has grown beyond
the most optimistic hopes of the
state department of agriculture.
which introduced it, and is attract
ing more and more hunters each year
from dozen middle western states
and few beyond.
Gratified with the success of phea-
SAINT introduction, the agricultural
department now plans to bring in u
vast number of Hungarian part
ridges, another game bird which is
counted among the game of kings
and which is expected to find an
agreeable environment in Dalota.
Hunting fees are used mostly to
provide protection for the game
birds when the hunting season is
I closed and for establishing preserves
where young birds are cared for I'M

SHOULD PRISON MAKE
AT A HIGHER COST
Than BIDDERS ASK?
The Maine Automobile Association

The Maine Automobile Association
at a recent meeting favored a plan
whereby our registration plates might
be made at the State prison. This is
not new suggestion. The prison au-
thorities have had the matter under
consideration and 1t Is understood that
with requisite capital a plant might
be established at the prison by which
the plates could be manufactured at a
small profit If sold for 25 cents and a
way be found for disposing of the sur
plus.
Hon. Charles 8. Hichborn of the
prison commission made an exhaustive
investigation of the conditions about
a year ago. A Journal reporter sought
an interview with him respecting the
plan of the automobile association.
Mr. Hiehborn said he had, at no cost
to the State, thoroughly investigated
the possibilities of this new industry.
He had visited other states and at his
request an expert had come to Thorn
aston and inspected the facilities there.
1t was found that it would be neces-
sary to manufacture a certain number
of plates, around twice as many as
Maine would\need, If the unit were to
be run economically. Then it would
become necessary to sell that surplus.
If more than one unit were established
there would be need of selling a fur
Their surplus.
The cost of unit, the least equip
ment which could be installed, would
be close to $4,000. He secured bids
on the machines, figured the cost of in
stallation and endeavored to ascertain
Just what the State might expect in
event it should decide to undertake the
enterprise. He was even permitted by
manufacturers to look over their cost
sheets.
Under the best terms we could then
secure" said Mr.. Hichborn. land as
suming we would be able to sell the
surplus advantageously, we concluded
such a plant making the plates for 25
cents per pair would show q small
profit for the prison.
"rhis year, 1 understand, the State
of Maine is able to purchase the plates
ro: - cents. You can draw your own
conclusions as to the advantage to be
had from paying 25 cents for the man
ufacture of these at the prison."

longs to cousin, Alphonso Thomas
and, although Thomas had driven
other automobiles and was capable
driver, he had never driven the coupe
in which the tragedy occurred before
Monday night.
Salvage of the car several hours
after it was located in the water
served only to heighten the mystery.
When taken from the pond 1t was
found that the machines gear shift

serves Planning Christmas
Sale

The speeding up of life and the
problems which have arisen from the
conditions of the new world in which
we are now living was the principal
thought In the talk given by Rev.
Stanley Manning at the "Y" meeting
for omen and girls Sunday afternoon.
His Illustrations We're most interest
ing.
He said, 'The world has speeded up
and we are living more intensely,
having more sensations. Great chang
es have occurred In recent years and
greater speeding up in education and
religion. Women are given more free
dom and are working side by side
with men. Education, religion, our
whole life has speeded up. Even ma
lions are coming into closer contact.
Because of this speeding up there
are many new problems facing this
generation and which they will have
to help solve. One of the big tasks
for each ge.eration is that of setting
up a standard of right and wrong,
as once the standard of any genera
ton is set 1t does not change with
the years, although conditions them
selves may change, therefore each
! must determine it's own values" He
| spoke briefly of some of the problems
which would come up for discussion
at these meetings. At the close OF
his talk Mrs. Philip d. Stubs SANG

New England Sportsmen Show to be
given under the auspices of the
Massachusetts Fish and Game Pro-
tectiye Association in Mechanics
Building, Boston, from January 29rh
to February 5th inclusive. under the
personal direction of Chester l..
Campbell.
That this show will be one of the
biggest and most comprehensive
ever held in New England is al
ready ASSURED by the oversubscrip-
ton of the spaces to which the en-
tire Mechanics Building has been
given over.
1t Is estimated that over 100000
will attend the exhibit.
Every New England state outside
Of Vermont has taken large spaces
and the Province of New Brunswick
has already appropriated over $4,000
for their exhibit alone.
After several meetings held here
at the Conference room of the Maine
attended by every organization and
interest in the State having inter-
ests in featuring the many attrac-
tions Maine holds for the sports
man, it has been decided, provisional
to the State lending its financial
support the same as the other as
the other states and provinces of
Canada, to take a space of 100 feet
frontage and 20 feet deep and to
meet squarely the competition that
other sections are directing against
Maine to attract the sportsman and
tourist.
At the meeting held last week
General Mark l.. Hersey was ap-
pointed chairman, with Commas
sioner Parsons as vice chairman.
Harrie B. Coe was appointed execu-
tive secretary.
A unanimous response from those
present was given to the utmost
exhibit that would be creditable to
the State. After much preliminary
work the spaces were temporarily
allotted as follows:
A joint space by the railroads of 70
feet; the Great Northern Paper Coz,
in conjunction with the State For
estry department rs feet; % feet ror
special exhibit of wild animals; II
feet for tanks exhibiting different
species of live Maine fish; 245 feet for
model log cabins, etc.
Arrangements have been made by
Harrie B. Coe4 for a specially paint
ed back drop to cover the entire
space, which would be typical OF
