In an inspired letter to the Port
land Press an advocate of State
ownership says:
"A corporation appears on the
scene and by Legislative grant gets
the right to build a dam at the out
let Of the lake. From that mo-
ment and forever after that corpora
ton claims the sole and exclusive
right to control the water in that
chain of lakes and ponds. All the
wealth that this water produces in
the form of power goes into the
dividends of that corporation. = = =
y y Even ifsome Legislature in
the past gave away these rights is
it not tine for the people of to-day
to reacquire them3 Should the
actions of some past Legislature
forever bar the citizens of Maine
from their equitable rightsl

l cannot tell you how glad | am to
hear that Watertown is in move for
a local Council of Defense We from
Watertown appreciate the thought
you have of us to make us feel as
though we are going away to fight
with a real, true cause.
You know after all, it is you folks
at home who are doing the real fight
stay at home; you are sacrificing
things in your daily life that make it
so much easier for us. And in return
for those sacrifices we are only too
glad to give our lives-for we know
that back home is a, memory that
will grow stronger as we are kept
from you.
l can only hope that Watertown
will respond heartily to your call for
men to keep the home fire burning
for we are coming back-victorious
and filled with a spirit Of true democ-
racy.

CENTRAL LABOR COUNCIL
UNVEILS SERVICE FLAG

A service flag was unveiled at a
meeting of Watertown Central Labor
Union held Friday night in Union
hall
Members of the body in bestowing
the commemorative emblem felt it
was but right that htose in the service
should be fttingly remembered by
those at home.
To back the boys that are at the
front and those who in the near fu-
ture expect to be in one of the first
trenches, the organization invested
$50 in War Savings certificates.
The members of the various labor or
CARNATIONS here are patriotic in every
way as they have in the past con-
trlbuted to every patriotic cause.
The organization expects to lose
more men through the next draft.
When they leave their names will be
put on the roll of honor and another
blue star will be placed in the white
field of the service flag now hanging
in Union hall.

At the Theatres

Miss Jackie of the Army at the
Majestic Tuesday is a sort of twin to
Miss Jackie Of the Navy which was
one of the most popular films in which
Margarita Fischer has appeared. While
the atmosphere of the army is well
carried out with many real soldiers
in the scenes, a Red Cross benefit,
scenes in the trenches, the life of the
army camp, the troop trains and so
forth this picture has the appeal and
the rollicking good comedy which
made Miss Jackie of the Navy" so
popular Margarita Fischer plays a
heroic role in her spying on the rem
devious of the plotters, the alarming
of the camp, leading in the rescue Of
Lieut. Adair and riding on a flying
engine.
"The Land of Promise" bids fair to
be one of Billie Burke's most popular
productions, not only from the fact
that she had already appeared in the
same piece on the legitimate stage,
but that the screen version has been
written by the author of the original,
thus insuring no weakening Of the
production through "too many cooks !"
