At recent meeting Of the State
of Maine Society of Santa Barbara,
California, held at Oak Park with
banquet and program, and attended
by large number of natives of this
! State, DR.. William McDavid. former
ly of Augusta and long prominently
identified with the Grand Army of
the Republic was an invited guest
and one of the speakers. DR.. Nc
| David paid eloquent tribute to his
native State, and among other things
spoke in part as follows:
1T has been my good fortune in
long life to have been present at
many gatherings of men and women
in different parts of the country. but
/ want to say right here that Maine
gatherings beat them all. No finer
women or more intelligent men can
| be found anywhere else in this broad
land. 1t is the men and women after
all that make the state and you can't
beat the men and women of Maine.
TT is a recommendation in any part
| of the country to be able to say that
YOU came from Maine. for Maine
makes honest. truthful and God
fearing men and women, and wher-
ever they locate they stand for all
that Is good and true and noble.
Maine may have her hard and cold
winters but that is what puts the
real red blood into the veins of it's
men and women and gives them the
: vigor and stamina that the people of
other chimes do not possess. Every
body knows that the people of tropi-
cal climes are not the equal men,
! tally or physically of the people of
more northern climes.
! One of the greatest factors In
human life is loyalty, and while we
should be loyal to each other and to
our home State, above all we should
be loyal to our country and our
countryfs flag, Breaths there a man,
! with soul SO dead who never to him.
! self hath said, this is my own my
native land?
Some years ago aidiplomatic din
! ner was given in the city OF Paris.
After the good things were disposed

raising his glass said: Here's to
/ glorious France. 1t is bounded on the
north by the Arctic ocean, it is
! bounded on the south by the Antart-
! ic ocean, it is bounded on the east by

down. The American ambassador
then arose and raising his glass said:

PALACE-"Hands Up"

comedian" aroused enthusiasm in the
audience at the first showing of his
new picture. Hands Up" at the Pal
eCe Theater Yesterday afternoon.
1lr. Griffith portrays a Southern
candy with keen wits and nom
Chalent manner of swinging his satin
lined cape and wearing his tall silk
hat. He is supposed to be spy in the
confederate forces. detailed during the
Civil War to go West and cut off the
gold supply Of rich mine under the
control of the Union forces. He is first
been on the journey West in q stage
coach entertaining the blonde and
brunette daughters of the man who
owns the mine. The party is beset by
the perils customary in crossing the
plains in those days.
Particularly colorful are the scenes
with the Indians. Somehow, Hands
Up just misses being a really clever
comedy. Perhaps it is the anachronism
of the scenes showing Mr.. Griffith in
strltcting the Indian chief in the game
Of African polo,' and later in ach-
Ing the entire tribe of warriors how to
do the Charleston. Somehow one
would expect the possibilities of the
