Mrs. Luther J. Chaplin addressed a

Mrs. Luther ]. Chaplin addressed a
meeting held at Battle Creek school
house, near Turner last evening taking
up many subjects that are of special
interest to the women who live in the
country. Among the many things that
would make life easier and bring more
cheer in the home, Mrs. Chaplin sug-
gested the screening of the house during
the summer time, closed cupboards, and
arrangements by which water might be
piped into the house. To make the
cooking problem easier, Mrs. Chaplin
suggested that the mother cooperate
with the children and arrange menu
for the week of things that the child
rem really like. From an educational
standpoint, Mrs. Chaplin suggested that
Victrola and few magazines and
books would make the home more cheer
full, especially during the long winter
evenings. Following the address, Mr.
Chaplin gave his lecture on agricultural
topics, with stereoptican illustrations.

Passed Away Suddenly Yesterday
Afternoon at Interyale, n. H.

Passed Away Suddenly Yesterday
Afternoon at Intervale, N. H.
John r. Graham. OF Bangor, president
suddenly yesterday afternoon at Inter-
vale, n. H, " here he was spending q few
weeks for the benefit Of his own and his
wifeis health.
He was born in Ireland sixty-eight
years ago, of Scotch-Irish parentsge, and
came to this country with his parents
when but five years OF age. At seventeen
years of age ne proved his loyalty to the
country of his adoption, eniisting in the
Union army in July, 1854, and serving
until October, 1866.
His first business venture was as
manufacturer Of shoes. he ests biished
factory at Quincy, Mass, and made the
Graham shoe famous. 1t is still being
manufactured by two OF his sons - John
and Robert.
In Quincy he first became interested in
electric railroading in the reorganization
Of the Quincy street railway, which he
placed upon q paying basis. Later he
branched out into electric lighting. He
became a member OF the first rapid tran
sit commission of Massachusetts,.
In 1902 be came to Bangor, found q stu
alton which appealed to him, and located
there. Bis development of the railway
and power system Of Bangor and vicinity
made history for eastern Maine. While
others talked, he accomplished. He had
foresight and initiative, balanced by good
Judgment, and inspired . confidence in
others which enabled him to secure fnan-
cial backing for his projects.
He became well known in Ellsworth
through his connection with the develop
ment of the power plant here. He was
president OF Me Bar Harbor & Union
River Power Co., and . director OF the
Union Trust Co.
His faith in Bangor was never more
plainly manifested than In the dark days
following the great fire of 1911. He in
spired new courage in those who de-
SPARED, and to him more than to any one
person Is credited the new Bangor.

Charles Chaplin, Laughmaker.

In these days OF the motion-p picture,
few do not know Charlie Chaplin. Prob
ably there is no one in the world whose
countenance is as well known as this
young Englishman's. People everywhere
wonder where he came from. First there
was the funny fellow with the little
moustache, and then suddenly he became
world famous over night.
The story Of Chaplin reads like Q real
story book. He came here from London
some year and q half ago. At that time
he was acting . small part in a big must
cal show. One of the great motion-pic-
ture directors happening to see the show in
Los Angeles, asked to meet Chaplin. He
was offerd a position with film company
at salary of ESQ week, which at that
time he thought was big. Needless to
say, he made good with the company, and
his income at present is said to be q, 600
weekly.
Until recently he has concentrated his
efforts upon the short comedy subjects, in
one and two reels. However, upon realiz-
ing the insistent demand for q real big
production starring this funny man, q
subject called ambition has been
placed upon the market. Chaplin's am
bition is to make the world laugh.
