ANNOUNCEMENTS
KINGSTON TO HAVE
 FIREMENS MUSTER.
S325 in Prizes Offered.

The Rhode Island State Firemen's League have voted to hold the annual state muster on Friday, Sept. 15, in connection with the annual Kingston State Fair, at a. special meeting held in the headquarters of the Providence Veteran Firemen's association.
 The invitation was extended through the Peace Dale Fire department, when it was announced that the Washington County Fair association had decided to renew last years of fer, and award prizes amounting to S325. In addition, the league will give a trophy consisting of American hagS and standards for the best engine play and fastest hose reel run. Some of the members were not in favor of the muster at first, expressing the belief that not enough interest had developed in the affair to make it @ success. Elm phasis was placed on last years ex- perience at Kingston. when only four engines turned out for three prizes
 John 1T. Sullivan reported for the muster committee that the fair assO- oiation had agreed to stage muster for the third time The other mem- bers of the committee are John Tow CTS and Peter AIurney of Peace Dale. The former. spoke for the Narragan- sett Steam Engine company, inviting the entire league to attend the muster as the latteTs guest.
 As the result of a, vote, Secretary Treasurer Frederic w. Cady read the names of the 21 fire companies which are claimed to be behind on their dues. Some of the members expressed the opinion that the system of notifca- tion was at fault. and that bills should be sent to the companies annually.
 4 proposal to make the muster at Kingston an annual event by signing a fve-year contract was considered, but no a9tion was taken. President Fred H. Clark presided and 19 of the 72 organizations in the league were rep resented

DAMAGED GOODS
Will Be Shown at Hhe Davis Thurs.
 day, Friday and Saturday.

The management of the Davis have gone to cOnsidera ble expense and se- cured for tho patrons of this theatre for the last half Of this week. Damaged
 Goods. the GeVen-part phOtO-play yer sion Of Eugene BTieX's famous drama, Les AyiarcS. produced by the AmeTi- can company and declared by critics as the greatest phOtoplay ever made. When the film was shown at the Broadway theatre, Forty-frst street and Broadway, New York city, the film was viewed by a tenseIy inter ested audience of physicians, minis ters, sociOlOgiSts, city and state off
 cIals, as well as by many representa-
 tives of the trade and lay press. who
 filled the house. Those who had seen Damaged Goods on the speaking stage found the motion picture production in many respects even more impress
 sive, and the work of Mr. Richard
 Bennett powerfully convincing. The
 screen drama, is gra phically realistic.
 It sights none of the facts necessary
 to the full medication of it's tremen- dOuS lesson. Scenes taken in hOspi- tals and insane aSylums, showing act ual victims of the horrible disease contribute greatly to it's authenticity
 and moral appeal. The story of the
 play is profoundly moving. It's edu- cational value hardly could be en- hanced. Damaged Goods is drama not for the few. but for the millions
 men and women in every station and business of life.
 Miss Florence Guernsey, president of the New York City Federation ot WOmcn's Clubs, said after seeing the picture: "Damag ged Goods, as present ed by Mr Richard Bennett and his CO., workers, should be seen by all parents young men and young girls. There are awful truths brought to light which should be needed"
 During the showing Of this picture here children under 16 years will mol 1 be admitted unless accompanied by l adults, and there will be no advance 1 in prices. Time of shows, Thursday at Z. 3.30, and 8.30; Friday at ant ! 3.30; Saturday, continuous, from 1.3( 1 to 1920.

THE THINGS THAT COUNT.

Not what we have, but what we use; Not what we see. but what we choose These are the things that mar or bless The sum of human happiness. The things near by, not things afar: Not what we seem but what we are These are the things that make or
 break,
 That give the heart it's joy or ache. Not what seems fair. but what is true: Not what we dream but good we dc These are the things that shine like Like stars in Fortunes diadems. Not as we take, but as we give, Not as we pray, but as we live These are the things that make for
 peace,
 Both now and after Time shall cease.
