very little to satisfy them when they

the first things that will impress the

THE MIGHTY MOVIES

Hats off to the movies! They
have become the drama of the great
common people. More than five bill
lions of us patronized them last year
or, rather, we paid that many ad-
missions. For our delectation Co.
100000 feet of films were unrolled
every night on thousands of clicking
reels. The industry maintained by
our nickels and dimes has risen to the
bulk of $3O0,OO0,00O investment.
The movie millionaires" we have
made, and there are already some
thirty of them, are exporting $4,000
miles of films year, a girdle for a
world.
The movies have emptied the bal
comics and galleries of the "legiti-
mate" theatres; new houses are go
ing up without them. Even the pit
feels the competition of the latest
form of dramatic art. For art it is,
in its present development, with the
world secured for local color and
background, the masterpieces of liter
ature made into photo-plays, the fore
most living authors writing scenarios
and the best actors of the stage pos
ing for them.
And why should not our nickels
buy the best, when single picture
is unrolled before 100000 of us?
Never before did an actor or play
wright dream of such an audience.
The audience is going to keep right
on increasing, and the picture drama
is going to evolve into still more in
structive and artistic forms. There
are prospects of good, wholesome
cheap entertainment without end.
The big public refuses to weep
much over the decay of legitimate
drama" Most of the stuff produced
in recent years hasn't been particu-
larly Legitimate" anyhow. No won
der the people prefer decent, whole
some picture plays. The season has
been a losing one for the New York
theatres, but profitable one for the
movies

MAINLY A STATE OF MIND.

We're glad the women's clubs are
going to see what they can do to fix
up a scheme for modest dressing by
women. It's their task, if anybody's.
But we'd like to suggest, without
offense intended, that modesty isn't a
state of dress so much as it is a state
of mind. The Hottentot maiden in
the middle of Africa was modest
enough when Livingstone found her
wearing not much more than a nose
ring and smile. For that was the
custom of the tribe and well suited to
the climate of the country, and there
were no slant-minded folks who saw
out of the way in it. How
it is now that white folks and rail-
roads and civilization have come we
really don't know-probably more
clothing but less modesty. It's the
state of mind that needs fixing in
this country. We liked what we read
of the talk which that chap Kneeland
gave before the clubwomen in Chi
cago-Kneeland, you know, the vice
sleuth. He wanted women to mother
motherless girls, to work for better
economic conditions, to teach the
young the truths of life, but, above
all, he urged mothers to train their
sons to honor womanhood. That last
is something every mother can do,
beginning Immediately. And it will
begin to take effect as soon as it is
rightly started. The youngster who's
reared in a good home to respect his
mother and his sisters may later slip
and stumble, but he'll never entirely
forget the suggestions of that early
training. Chances are you won't see
him haunting dives and street corners
with his mind full of vile notions and
his main concern to add to life's dev-
iltry.

Home to many women means moth
ing more than laundry where they
take their clothes to be washed and
ironed; to the man a place to eat and
sleep, their evenings being largely
spent at clubs or billiard halls. The
old-fashioned home-keepers have be-
come almost lost quantity. Socie-
ties of various kinds occupy much of
their time. The children are sent to
school at the age of six and the moth
ers are at liberty to fit about until
they return at noon when the lunch
of food prepared outside the home is
placed before the family and the du-
ties until high twelve are discharged.
The afternoons and evening are given
to society work. OF course this does
not apply to all homes, but there is
general tendency to neglect the
claims of the family for outside pleas
ure. We have met some women who,
when asked if they keep house,
blushingly reply, I'VE do light house
keeping because we dislike board
ing"

done at very little expense, and the
value will be priceless toward our
success. Next to consider is that a
resort is just the opposite from the
busy city, therefore the people should
be just the opposite. You go to the
city and everything is hustle and bus
tie and jam, and the business worn
expression on the faces. They go to
resorts to get away from business and
care. So we will have to practice
being cheerful and act like we were
glad to be alive and glad to see
strangers in town. Make them feel
at home, for you must remember the
expression in your face makes the i'm
preston on the stranger and has lots
to do in making him satisfied or dis
satisfied. FRANK JORDAN.

Women should grow more deEoted
and men fonder after marriage if
they have the slightest idea of being
happy as wives and husbands. 1t is
losing sight of this fundamental truth
which leads to hundreds of divorces.
Yet many man will scold his wife
who would never thing of breathing
a harsh word to his sweetheart, and
many wife will look glum and mo-
rose on her husbands return who had
only smiles and words of cheer for
him when he was her suitor.

Never scold children, but soberly
and quietly reprove. Do not employ
shame, except in extreme cases. The
suffering is acute; it hurts self-re-
spect in the child to reprove a child
before the family; to ridicule it, to
tread down its feelings ruthlessly, is
to awaken in its bosom malignant
feelings. A child is defenseless; he
is not allowed to argue. He is often
tried. condemned and executed in
a second. He finds himself of little
use. He is put at things he doesn't
care for, and withheld from things
which he does like. He is made the
convenience of grown-up people and
is hardly supposed to have any rights
except a corner, as it were he is sent
hither and thither. made to sit down
or stand up at everybody's conven-
fence but his own; is snubbed and
catechised until he learns to dodge
government and elude authority, and
then whipped for being such liar
that no one can believe him"

AUGUSTA LYcEUM COURSE
James Francis O'Conneli Delights Au.
dienee at the Methodist Church

James Francis O'Donnell, the Irish
orator and noted monologue actor, APP
pearing in the drama. The Sign of
the Cross, Thursday evening at the
Green Street Methodist church, was
we'll received by q large audience and
this the fourth entertainment of the
Augusta Lyceum Course, was particu-
larly pleasing to the patrons of the
course. Mr.. DDonnell appeared in
Roman costume and impersonated is
different characters and. more difficult
yet, he made each character seem diff
ferent and true to life.
The story of THE Sign of the Cross"
is we'll known. A Christmas maiden
under the reign of cruel Nero is loved
by a Pagan nobleman. Her rival for
this mans love denounces her to Nero
as a Christian and she is thrown into
a dungeon with the understanding
that she will be freed if she will re-
nounce her faith. Her lover tries to
break her fortitude by alluring prom
ises for the future, but is unsuccessful.
Overcome by her devotion to Christ,
the Pagan lover likewise processes his
faith in God and they march together
to their martyrdom.
One can easily understand that TO
impersonate these several characters
is very difficult task for one man
and the manner in which Mr.. ODon-
nell carried out this work deserves
much praise.

MONA QUICKLY
ENDS INDIGESTION
Eat Your Favorite Food and Never
Fear After. Distress.

There is a way for you to eat what
ever your stomach Graves and do it over
again the next day. Many will say "How
1 wish could, but I have tried and every
time 1t nearly kills me-
The real trouble is that people who
suffer the untold agony of indigestion, do
not properly care for the stomach.
Every stomach has lot of work to
perform in digesting the food and If
crowded with extra labor it rebels and
kicks up a fearful disturbance.
Mi-o-na, a simple, harmless, inexpen-
sive and most effective prescription.
easily obtained at any drug store, will
quickly stop this disturbance. Mi-o-na
was especially prepared to regulate out
of-order stomachs. 1t not only helps the
over-worked digestive organs by inereas-
ing the flow of gastric juices, but surely
and safely builds UP and strengthens the
stomach walls so that the stomach can
care for the food as nature intended
It's needless for you to suffer with indi-
gestion, heartburn, biliousness, sour,
gassy or upset stomach. for Mi-o-na
should give prompt and lasting relief.
Do not delay but get some of these
tablets from Bowditch-
Webster Co. today. If M-o-na does not
Danish all stomach distress. there will
not be a penny of expense.

Was Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Hultgren, School street
Member 9th Grade Junior
High School
SEEN TO THROW SELF
INTO SWIFT CURRENT
Mind Supposed to Have Been
Temporarily Unbalanced by
Hard Study and Perhaps Lack
of Strength

One of the saddest incidents in Au-
gusta of the year now drawing to q
close was the death by drowning in
the Kennebee river late Thursday
forenoon, of Alberta Hultgren, aged
IA years, the oldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Albert Hultgren of School
street. The drowning occurred near
the east shore of the river not far
south of the mill of the Cushnoc Pa
per Co, at about 11.20, but while ii
was reported soon after noontime that
girl had been drowned in the river
the report was not verified until liz
O'clock in the afternoon when Mrs.
Hultgren received a note from her
daughter, in which she expressed the
intention of drowning herself in the
river, the note being carried to Mrs.
Hultgren by Arthur Beckett, school :
mate of the little girl.
The first repeat of the drowning was
received by City Marshal Colgan when
he came from dinner, it being a tele-
phone call from the Edwards mills,
which said that John McCuen, one
of the employees who works in the
wheel house at the mills, had reported
seen a girl come down to the east
shore of the river at a point opposite
the mills and throw herself into the
water. After she was in the water.
the current being very swift at that
point, MIR. McCuen reported that he
had seen her come to the surface
twice and that he had seen her for
the last time under the new railroad
bridge. He also said that when the
girl went into the water he shouted
to a man who was working on the
east bank of the river but that while
the man heard him shout the dis
lance was so great that his shouts
were not understood.
In the meantime, when the High school
session was concluded at l O'Clock young
Beckett took the note which the HUT
gren girl had given him at recess and
carried it to her mother, and upon open
ing it she read these words: 81 am GO
ing to drown myself in the canal by the
station" and Mortified though she was
she hurried to he house of neighbor,
NJ. p. Wight, for help. Mr.. Wight was
just sitting down to dinner. but hasten
ing out he found Frank Halpen just
passing with the II. w. Plummer team
and telling him what had happened they
soon got City Marshal Colgan and drove
hurriedly to the power station of the
Central Maine Power Co. on the east end
of the dam, with the. hope that they
might possibly find the missing girl Mr..
Hultgren, whom they met on the way,
accompanied them
On arriving at the canal, however,
they found it closed by ice and also
found tracks where the girl had gone up
over the bank A search was then begun
down along the east shore of the river.
and at the point indicated by Mr.. Nc
Cuen in his report of what he had seen
they found the girls muff on the shore.
This bit of evidence convinced the
searchers that the girl had carried out
her rash resolve, and returning to the
police station Marshal Colgan secured
men with grapnels, and work was car

ried on from the shore by graphing in
the eddies near the scene of the drown.
ing until nearly dark. Owing to the fact
that the river is closed by ice no boat
was available Thursday afternoon, but
boats have been secured for today and
the work of graphing will be resumed
this morning with the hope of recovering
the body. This is considered doubtful,
however. for 1t is believed that owing to
the swift current the body has been car
ried down river and under the ice.
The death of Miss Hultgren brings with
it feeling of general sorrow. She was
member OF the 9th grade of the Junior
High school and was student in Miss
Farrington's room. She was a bright, in
telligent girl and the only reason that
can be given for her act is that her mind
had become temporarily affected by hard
study and perhaps lack of strength.
