Mother O. Mine, Friday.

'Mother O. Mine" is the story of a
mother, told in simple, homely way
with real, old fashioned mother, seven
ty-two years young, portraying the title
role. 1t is one of those photodramas
that stirs our very souls because it tells
the story of the homely things of life.
There is human appeal, heart interest
that strikes home. 1t is one that will
appeal to man, woman and child, to all
classes, to all creeds 1t can grace any
exhibitors program and will be awarded
the blue ribbon by an unanimous vote.
There is no spectacle attempted-the
true-to-life simple, homely story of
mother and son, is told in a straight
forward, unpretentious manner, without
prejudice. The character, most dear to
US all is there. In Ruby La Fayette, who
presents the part of the mother, you will
find an exemplification of your mother
your mother as you like to remember her.
Rupert Julian and Ruth Clifford are
featured, but upon Ruby La Fayette the
eyes of the audience will be fixed. With
out 'make-up," without acting this
old lady is one of the old school &C
tresses who carries the mother part with
out affectation.

Maine Normal Teachers.

The demand for professionally trained
common school teachers is very great in
the State of Maine at the present time
and it will be increasingly SO during the
period of reorganization and reconstruc
ton after the war. Many prospective
teachers have entered some fern of wal
service and many others are teaching
without experience or training, because
of the scarcity of teachers due to condi-
tions brought on by the war. AS result
the attendance of students at the Maine
Normal schools is much lower than usual
and from which it follows, the graduating
classes will be much smaller next June.
The reader of this article no doubt knows
of one or more individuals who are quail
fled to enter a normal school and who are
uot engaged in teaching or in any other
form of patriotic sersice. If the reader
will call the attention of such an individ-
ual to the urgent need for trained teach
ers and will send the name of such per-
son to the principal of one of the Maine
normal schools, valuable service will
have been performed IN the interest of
our boys and girls.
Prominent educators believe that with
in five years the State of Maine will require
all teachers to be graduates of a normal
or of training school and that the aver
age salary will be much higher than it
now is

SPECTERS

The evening shadows lengthen DER the
world;
The sinking sun turns all the west to
gold;
Soon will the banners of the day be furl-
And night above US her dark wings I'M
/ fold.
Slow creeping like lion on it's prey
The darkness steals across the quiet
land,
! The world is fading, and the dying day
| Breathes out its passage on our every
hand.
This is the hour when trooping memories
throng
Through all our fancies, as we sit and
dream;
A word, a phrase some half-forgotten
song
Some bit of flotsam from life's hurry
ing stream.
Grim specters that have quiet slept for
years, "
Arise and stalk upon us through the
night,
Bringing the ancient burden of their fears
From out the past once more into the
light.
Deceit is there to mock us with her smile,
Dishonor in her dragged garments
stands,
Untruth leers at us with visage vile,
And Passion reaches out with beckon-
ing hands
Then conscience stirs as at bugle call,
Awakes and turns his face upon the
foe;
And grimly lights, that Honor may not
Forever lost in misery and in woe.
The moon above the eastern hills sails
high,
And changes all the aspect of the night;
Her lamp shines down from out cloud
less sky
And battles the world below with sill
very light.
Vanquished, the shadows flee before her
ray,
And hope springs up to help us fight
anew,
Some friendly hand seems pointing out
the way,
And voices whisper to yourself be
true.
