saIambo Scores at Columbia

It has been agreed by all who have had the pleasure of witnessing "Sa lambo'' at the Columbia theater this week, that the film is not only a mas terpiece, but one of the best produc- tions ever exhibited in a local play
 house. "Salambo" is considered the last word in historical films, and one that easily holds the interest of the audience from beginning to end. When tine spectacular is considered few pie lures have ever been made that can in any way compare with the grandeur of many of the scenes. The entire six reels are devoid of all unnecessary space, and much attention has been given to numerous details. all of which are well brought out. "Salambo" will be shown again this afternoon and to- night. When one stops to consider the film and the price at which it is being offered. q rare treat will have been missed if advantage of the present op- portunity Of seeing it is not taken.

 The story deals with the efforts of Ted Ewing. a guardian, to reimburse through q life insurance policy the ward whose money he has been respon- sible for losing. Ewing previously has laughed at blackmailers who demand money.
 Later he comes to the conclusion that these men may be of some service in accomplishing the destruction which by the suicide clause he is prescribed from personally bringing about.

ONLY MIRACLE CAN NOW
 KEEP ITALY FROM WAR
ASSOCIATED PRESS DrsPArcHl

ROME. May 7.-The date of con Vening the senate and chamber of deputies was postponed by royal de- cree until May 20. The original date set for the opening of Parliament was May 12.
 The situation is rapidly becoming more tense. The press considers that only a miracle now can keep Italy out of the war.
 Deputy Cirmeni expressed the opin- ion that the action of the govern ment indicated that a rupture of negotiations with Austria is not only certain but imminent. and the belief is expressed in diplomatic circles that the Italian government in view of the postponement of the date for the converting of parliament, desires to confront parliament with the ac- complished fact.
 King Victor Emmanuel early this morning was in consultation with the minister of war. Later the premier and foreign minister went to him for consultation.

Good Program at The Lion

One of the funniest stunts ever seen in the movies is pulled in the Keystone comedy Hogan Out West" which is shown at the Lion theater today for the last tune. Hogan" who is ChaS Murray, is blown up in the air by an explosion. The picture shows him "go- ing up" and landing on a church steeple, a strong wind is blowing and takes an umbrella out of a woman's hand on tie ground, Hogan grabs it as it passes him and jumps safely back to earth. It takes clever photograp phic work to make such a picture.

birch tree on the line between the p.
n. Savage farm and the o. P. Ellis
farm on the Bangor road. and while
it did not demolish the tree it left its
mark This was the third time
within two years that lightning has
struck in that immediate vicinity. A
years ago last July bolt struck the
barn on the Savage farm and did some
damage to the building, but though
the bolt passed directly through some
hay in the barn it did not set it on
fire. The second time was last No
vember, when lightning struck the
barn on the Ellis farm and destroyed
it. The bolt Sunday evening struck
within 200 feet of the Savage home.

When 1t comes to hitching a horse
on the business street of a city it
would seem to the average mortal that
the last place to be chosen would be
an automobile, but it is said that a
visitor from the rural districts made
this choice yesterday afternoon and
made his team fast to an automobile
in front of one Of the stores on Water
street. 1t so CHANGED that this car is
one of the busy ones on the street,
being used in connection with a hard
ware store where the plumbers con-
nected with the store are at present
busy with several outside jobs, and the
team had been hitched but a few min
utes when two Of the men had coca
sion to use the car. Not noticing the
horse and wagon attachment behind
they started the car down street with
the result that the old horse got the
surprise of his life, and was nearly
pulled off his feet and out Of the har-
ness before the men on the car real
lied what they had in tow. The own
er Of the car is thinking Of having at
tached to it the old familiar legend:

Augusta Merchants Promise
the Two Greatest Bargain
Days of the Year on the
Above Mentioned Dates
DOLLAR MERCHANDISE
WILL BE FEATURED
The Event Bound to Develop
the Livliest Competition in
Value Giving

Dollar Day is coming to Augusta, or
to write more correctly dollar days,
for there will be two of them-July 5
and Q.
This announcement Will be receiv-
ed with genuine pleasure by hundreds
who know what an opportunity it
brings. Lest there be some who are not
familiar with the idea some explanation
is due. Dollar Day first started with
an individual merchant who concen-
trated on dollar bargains. Gradually the
idea has evolved from o single mer-
chant to the group and from the group
to the entire city and likewise from one
day to several. Yesterday an enthusi-
astic number of Augusta leading bus
mess men met at Hotel North and
laid the plans for this city.

The barge Greenland, now loading
lumber at the mill of the Augusta
Lumber Co., will take from the Ken
nebec river the first cargo of lumber
ever shipped by this company on a
barge. She is not large craft. and
while she will carry about 100000 of
green lumber her coal carrying capac-
ity would be about 300 tons. The
Greenland is one Of IL barges owned
by the Piscataqua Navigation Co. Of
Portsmouth, N. H., which company
also owns three tugboats and does
quite an extensive business in carry
ing lumber to coastwise ports. 1t might
be said by way Of explanation that
the barge's visit to Augusta is due to
the fact that sailing vessels are very
scarce. None have been built during
the past few years, many have been
lost and many Of those stiN afioat are
going down east to Nova Scotia ports
