Maine Daughters of the American
Revolution will be pleased to learn
that Mrs. Blaine S. Viles as State
Regent has appointed Mrs. Lois NJ.
Creighton of Thomaston as State
representative of the Knox Memorial
Association, Inc. 1t is quite fitting
that Thomaston lady should hold
this office. and. Mrs. Creighton is
particularly we'll qualified, having
served the Maine Daughters most
eflciently as State Regent during the
years Of 1907 and 1908.
A number of years ago she was
regent of the Gen. Knox Chapter
and is now serving her chapter a
second term as regent, which shows
her popularity and interest in d. A.
r. activities.
The D. A. 2. as a patriotic or
ganlzation has for one of it's objects.
the perpetuating OF the memory and
spirit of the men and women who
achieved American independence, by
the acquisition and protection of his
toric spots, and the erection of monu-
ments; by the preservation of docu-
ments and relics, and of the records
Of the Revolutionary soldiers and
patriots, and by the promotion of
celebrations of all patriotic anniver-
Saries,."
The State Representative will in
terest the chapters of her State in
raising funds and in securing men,
bers for the Knox Memorial Associa-
ton which has for it's object the
I,1ilJjpr n fa ,.artico Of s'NTOr+pal;a,, -

mortal Association Saturday, july 81

Mrs. Herbert NJ. Lord, president of
the Knox Memorial Association and
Mrs. Creighton, Regent of the Gen.
Knox Chapter are putting forth every
effort to make this meeting more
largely attended than any previous
one The fact that secretary of War
Hon. Dwight . Davis is to be the
principal speaker, will attractF
many. There will also be addresses
by the National President of the Or
der of Cincinnati, and the president
of the Maine Sons of American
Revolution. All citizens, both men
and women. who are interested in
patriotic and historic work are most
cordially invited to attend and to

State Champion of rs Years
Old Youngsters

Plans for the reception and en-
tertainment of 5000 members of the
Maine Three-Quarter Century Club
and guests on the occasion of the
second annual meeting of the club
in Augusta on August 80, were made
here Thursday at a meeting of the
state committee.
1t is estimated that at least 1900
residents of Maine have passed their
10th birthday-thus making them
eligible for embership-since the
meeting of the club last year. All
of thes are advised to file their name,
address and date of birth with the
Maine Public Health Association or
with their county chairman, so that
their names may be added to the
roster of the club. The club now
numbers $4,000.
One of the features of the day
will be horseshoe pitching contest,
in which will be entered one crack
horseshoe pitcher from each coun-
ty. All men members of the club
are urged to communicate at once
with the member of the state COM
mittee from their respective coun-
ties If they are interested in this

ty chairman may arrange, through
a county tournament or otherwise,
for the selection of county cham
pion" to represent each county in
the big tournament at the club meet
ing on August 30th.
b The state committee announced
today that the winner of the state
championship will be awarded a gold
plated horseshoe to be known as the
Gardiner Trophy in honor of Will
liam Tudor Gardiner, chairman of
the state committee on organization.
Tentative plans are also under way
for literary contest in which all
members of the club will be invited
to participate and in this way it is
believed that many long forgotten
but exceedingly interesting bits of
Maine history will be revealed.
Both Governor Ralph o. Brewster
and Mayor Ernest Mclean will be
invited to be present at the meeting.
Members of the club and in fact
all residents of Maine who are Is
years of age or older, are urged to
communicate with their respective
county chairmen or with the Maine
Public Health Association at Angus

Nationwide Drive to Interest Citi-
zena 10 Renister and Nota


In q letter to Mrs. Viles, State
Regent. Mrs. Brosseau, present gen.
eral. speaks of a request which has
come to the National Society for CO.
operation along lines of national in
terest and welfare in which the
American Legion will play an i'm
portant role. There will be a
nation wide drive to urge all loyal
American citizens which means
women as we'll as men-to not only
register but to enroll in some politi-
cal party and engage actively in its
work; also to enlist the new and
coming voters in intelligent partici-
throughout the country by the
American Legion. and all represen-
tative bodies will be asked to parti-
cipate. When chapter members are
invited to attend, 1t Is my earnest
desire that they will accept, show an
active interest and lend their coun-
sells. This is not politics but good
citizenship, something in which every
Daughter of American Revolution
should be interested,-and doubly so,
in view of the earnest admonition of
President Coolidge expressed in two
different addresses before the Con-
tinental Congress" (Signed) Grace
NJ. Brosseau, President General, n.
S. D. A r.
For several years there has been
a failure of all citizens to vote.
Members of the D. A. r. interested in
public welfare should use every
legitimate influence at their COM
nand to help awaken others to the
