Why the Deserted Brides Of To-day?

Experience has taught me that
much of this poverty and distress
could be prevented by proper in
vestigatior before marriage. l
am advocating the establishment
Of a marriage bureau eXacting
financial test OF every applicant
Before securing a license the man
should be compelled to answer
such questions as: Have you a
trade or. profession? Are you
permanently employed What is
your salary
If it be disclosed that he is
earning less than fifteen dollars
week and has no income from
any other source. his right TO
license should be challenged
This bureau should also be in
strumental in preventing the
marriage of minors. The county
institutions are flooded with vic
inns of these marriages, young,

Ironical people have called at
tention to the fact that Herbert

not weigh in the scale against the

Any system of education that

The world is coming to the be
lief that the object of education
is to make the individual ac-

he has about this world, its his

A meeting of the citizens was held
Tuesday evening at the city council
rooms at which the proposed installa-
ton of filter plant in the city and
the extension of the mains to South
Gardiner were discussed. The meeting
was called to order by Judge Will c.
Atkins, who after stating the object
for which the meeting was called
asked for the nomination of a presid-
ing officer Edwin w Ellis was elect
ed to preside. The first speaker of the
evening was d. H. Darling, who men
toned briefly the arguments in favor
of the project.
Henry Richards, one of the trustees
of the district, made a statement that
covered the position assumed by the
trustees. He stated that an outside
estimate for the installation of the
filter was $4,000 and the trustees felt
that this covered every possible con-
tingency. The trustees have inspected
several plants and found the one at
Lawrence. Mass, which is much
larger plant, cost that city about $685.

can be installed in Gardiner at a cost
not exceeding that figure. The laying
of an S-inch main to South Gardiner
will be between $4,000 and $35, 900.
There are at present $4,000 bonds of
the Water District that remain UNI
sold, and this amount together with
the additional bonds to be issued $75,-
000 if the proposition is put through,
will be sufficient to build both the
desired additions. He further stated
that the addition cost entailed upon
the city in the maintenance of the
plant will be amply taken care of by
the additional revenue from South
Gardiner.
The idea of having the two PROPOSE
tions combined so that they could not
be separated by the voters was dis
cussed and reasons, logical ones, given
for this method of procedure. Among
the other speakers of the evening were

Industrial School Girls Pre-

Drama in Six Special
Meeting Of City Council
W. A. Harvey and ]. r. Burns Ap.
pointed Night Watches

What was perhaps one of the larg-
est events ever held in connection with
the Maine Industrial School for Girls,
took place at Baker hall Tuesday eve
ming, before about 100 especially inVit-
ed guests from Augusta, Hallowell and
Gardiner, when "HiaWatha" was pre-
sented, under the direction of Miss
Bernice Whitehouse. To say that
Hiawatha" was successfully produced
is merely praising it as an ordinary
event; as a matter of fact, it was a
remarkable production, executed in an
excellent manner.
"Biawatha' as produced last eve
ming, is technically classed as a
drama in six acts, but to the writer,
it resembled much more. a pageant, as
there was more acting rather than
anything else in il The cast included
u characters the principals being:
HiaWatha, Inez Dawes; Nokomis, Ell
len McDougal; Minnehaha. Mary Muh-
ply; Arrow maker, Helen Hilton;
Mondamin, Jennie Pate; Iagoo. Inez
Dresser; Gitche- Marrito, Goldie Fields;

RADIOS, Edith MCGOWAN: Famine, Ber-
tina Childs. Fever, Vesta Colson;
Priest Mildred May. chorus Of
guides, Indian maidens and Indian
warriors.
Act | was Smoking the Peace
Pipe" Act II, was in three parts-a
description of Hiawatha's youth. Part
1 was THE Babe; Part :, THE Bay;
Part 8, THE Fasting" Act III was
.'Hiawatha's Wooing." In Act ~,
'The Wedding Feast. the Dagger
Dance" as executed by Marion DOW,
as Pau Ruk- Keemis. was a dainty bit
of solo dance, done in a capable man
ner. Act was "Hiawatha Teaching
His People Picture Writing" The CHI
max, however was reached in the
sixth and last acts. The act was in
four parts, as follows: Death of Min
nehaha," "Hiawathas Farewell to
Minnehaha," 'Hiawatha Bids Fare
well to His People" and the Trans
formation Scene" The last scene was
perhaps the best of the entire drama.
To Miss Bernice Whitehouse, who
directed the performance. belongs the
credit of the event. Miss Whitehouse
has been a member of the staff of
instructresses of the school for the
past three years, and has brought the
school into prominence by her delight

playlets She has been working on
"Hiawatha" for the past three months,
and is to be congratulated, however,
on having the services OF Miss Inez

Elephants were members of the school,
Only one thing proved inadequate
to the requirements of the production
and that was the hall, which was in
sufficient in both the stage room and
the seating capacity. At present there
is no assembly hall and 1t certainly
seems as if the institution deserves a
hall capable of seating eco or 300.

Couldn't Run Fast Enough

AS Sheriff Potter started from the
Randolph end of the bridge on his way
to the fire at the Glidden Box Co. on
Tuesday, man who was old enough to
know better attempted to gain the
back of the sheriff's carriage. His fin
gers just reached the coat of a man
kneeling in the back of the carriage.
Just at this time the sheriff began to
liven his horse up a little. The man
ran as long as he was able and then
rather than hang on and be dragged
let go his hold. Spectators say that
he turned about 10 somersaults very
gracefully. A. r. Hayes was just com
ing up behind but managed to pull to
one side and avoid running over the
man. 1t is safe bet that the man will
choose some other horse to sprint with
on the next occasion.

l shall be pleased to offer silver cup
to be competed for by the Cony High

in a aeries of three games of baseball,
to take place during the present sea-

winning two out of the three games.
My object in making this offer is to
renew athletic games between these
two schools, believing that clean,
healthy rivalry between these two
schools is more of a possibility today
than it has ever been before.
The only condition that 1 place on
the award of the cup is that all dis
puted games, if such there be, shall at
once be submitted to the Board of Ar
bitration now in existence for this
purpose. Trusting that I may receive
word favorable to this proposition

AUGUSTA DEFEATED.
HaIlcweIl eowlers Capture Contest by
Margin of 16 Pins.

One of the closest games of the season
was rolled at the Faleoni alleys lest eve

a defeat from the hands of the local five,
the final score favoring the latter aggre-

the individual scores were about the
usual average, the game was one of the
most interesting rolled at the local alleys
this season, owing to the unusually close
score Allison of Augusta was high
man, having a total of 2S4 pins to his
credit. The summary:
