Have to Tell You.
MISS COBURN, FOX STAR,
BOARDING SCHOOL MISS,
THREE YEARS AGO

Many fine things have come from
the state Of Kentucky. To even begin
to enumerate them would use up
much space and white paper is costly.
It is safe, however, to say that the
latest product of the Blue Grass state
will win the blue ribbon of popular
ity. Beauty has always been a win
ner; personality, often; ability, occa.
sionally. But when beauty, PERSONAL
ity and ability are all combined in one
person, the result--well, let US intro.
duce Miss Gladys Coburn, the new
Fox star, who makes her movie debut
in 1.-THE Battle Of Life" and let us
advise you to watch her career.
1t was very few years ago. nine
teen to be exact, that Miss Coburn
made her debut into the world Pa
ducah. Kentucky, was the place. AT
sixteen she left her home town fin
ish her education at a private board
ing school Already she had shown a
fondness for acting; and she left be-
hind her a reputation as a captivat-
ing little amateur
While at school. her ardor for a
stage carer diminished not one jot
and when a friend in the TOO Many
Cooks" company told her of an oppor-
tunlty to join the plan, she jumped
for jOy-and out of the school. Some
one who had had a small part in ths
| last act had become indisposed. and
Miss Coburn was told that if she ap-
piled for the role it might be given
her.
Gets Her Chance.
Miss CobuTn was at the theater the
next morning while the night watch
man was still on the job. The man
ager came ventually, and she soon
| convinced him that she was the one
girl in the world for the part. Julian
Eltinge saw Miss Coburn's work in
the play and was so pleased with her
performance that he promptly engag-
ed her for The Crinoline Girl"
Becomes Fox Star.
1t was at this point in her career
that William Fox captured her for the
movies, She was cast Immediately
for the star role in THE Battle Of
Life Mr. Vincent who directed the
filming of the photoplay, SAYS: "Those
who see Miss Coburn in the picture
will find a girl who screens beautiful
ly and acts like the veteran of hun
dred films" Pastime today.

Ferry Hill, Embden, TO be Improved

A portion of the highway, near the
kennebec River, on the road from
Emblem station to Scion bridge, is to
be improved at once. Those who have
travelled up the west side of Ken
nebec thru Embden, will recall a very
dangerous winding hill, leading down
toward Scion bridge. The top of this
hill is to be cut down about six feet
and filled in at the bottom, on the old
road site, by Allen Hodgdon's house.
This will shorten the distance from
the top of the hill to the bridge, 265
feet, make a much easier grade and
straighten out the curve More than
one serious accident has occurred at
this place and those two very sharp
turns, now to be eliminated, have
been dreaded by everybody. The
State highway officials recognizing the
necessity for this work have set aside
one thousand dollars for the purpose.
Hon. F. w. Bunker of North Arson,
among others, was instrumental in so
presenting the case as to secure the
above result
E. w. Taylor of Bingham has been
interviewed regarding the work. Eth
er he or some other contractor will
commence upon 1t at once.

HARTLASD ACADEMY
Many New Courses In Curriculum In
Guiding Teachers Training Class

The trustees of Hartland Academy
announce the opening of the school
for its 95th year, September 18th.
On account of numerous alterations
of an extensive nature, which have
been made during the summer, the
Academy is opening somewhat later
than originally planned.
Two additional recitation rooms
additions and improvements have
been made in the general labratory;
lighting conditions have been perfect
ed by the cutting of new windows and
by a re-wiring of the electric light
ing system. Modern drinking toun-
tains, cloak rooms and toilets have
been installed and extensive changes
have been made in the ventilating ap-
paratus.
Perhaps the greatest improvement
that has been made at the Academy
is the finishing off of large gymna-
stun and recreation room. In the
past students have been obliged IL
utilize outside halls, during the win
ter months for basketball but the new
| gymnasium will prove all that could
be desired for this purpose.
Basketball and Gym" work will
! form an important part of the athle-
tic life of the school for both young
ladies and young men. The new
hall has ample Accommodations for
spectators. Athletics will be further
aided by improvements being planned
tic field, adjacent to the school, a
plot of land presented to the Academy
in 1915 by Hon. D. D. Stewart of St
Adams.
The course in Agriculture, which
has proved very popular, will be
strengthened and better labratory IA
cilities will be at the disposal of every
student. 1t is also proposed to open
course in teachers training should
a sufficient number of the incoming
students desire such a course Spec
ial training in public speaking, debat
ing and dramatics will be offered this
year.
But one change in the faculty of the
school is announced. Mr. Donahue,
the former principal, has accepted
position with the State as County Ag-
ricultural Agent. His place is being
taken by Leonard c. Monahan
A special lecture course, to which
parents and townspeople will be in
yited is also announced. Speakers
and dates for this course will be pub
lished at later date.
