Mrs. Ella POOLE, vice president of
the National w c. r. u, gave a
splendid talk Friday afternoon on
women and the War" Mrs. Boole
said, "Women's work in this war is
different from women's work in any
other war in which the world has been
engaged. In other wars the women
had part but it has been the work
of women as individuals. In this war
it is the work of organized women.
"The w. G. T. U. is helping to win
the war. The national officers have
wisely designated certain departments
for war service. In the final peace we
will maintain the Christian character
Of our work and there is need Of just
such work. The w. c. T. U. has pre-
sented three ambulances to the Red
Cross, and they are now doing duty
overseas. We have donated four diet
kitchens which are just behind the
firing lines. We have raised $4,000
for the support of French orphans,
purchased % stereamotograph ma
chine, all of which are doing duty in
environments and camps. We have
made 100000 comfort kits and pre-
scented them to soldiers. The w. c.
T. U. was the pioneer in making COM
fort kits for we began making them
in the Spanish-American war. Every
bag has in it a testament and pledge
card.
I'VE belong to the Red Cross, we
knit, sew, make surgical dressings, and
we want to start a chocolate fund in
stead of smoke fund.
1.-THE special departments in addi-
tion to this work are Americanization,
moral education, protection to women
In industry, household, thrift and leg
islation."

The news Of the resignation OF
Postmaster Dilworth came as de-
cided surprise to a greater part OF
the citizens in this place, the first IN
timation being the advertising of a
civil service examination at Skowhe-
gan on May for the position. Mr..
Dilworth was appointed two years
ago, after an active canvas. A year
and half ago an agitation was
started for better quarters for the Of
flee. A petition was circulated ana
generally signed by the business men
of the place. asking that the new 10
cation be in the vacant store In the
Mckenzie block. Last summer no
tees We're posted stating specitica
tions and asking for bids for the To-
cation of 4 new office. Late in the
fall it was rumored that the new Of
fees was to be in its present loca
ton i'll the Rowell block. Petitions
were again circulated, asking that the
office be located in the Mckenzie
block, and sent 20 Washington. Much
to the chargin Of those interested, and
in spite of numerous letters and tele-
grams to congressman, it was learned
that the contract had already been
signed. Equipment was brought from
Gardiner and installed and the office
moved on April 1st. Almost from the
first day there was more or less con
fusion caused by the interior ar
rangemeut of the office. causing much
Inconvenience to the public and max
ing it difficult for the post Office force
to give proper service. Suggestions
were made for some changes that
would greatly facilitate the business
of the Office. These were promptly
turned down by the Inspector. Post

signed. and SO far as is known at the
present time there is no active can

The Boy Scouts of America have
been making rapid progress in this
city and nearby places during the
past winter. The various scout Or
ganizations in Augusta. Gardiner,

now looking forward to forming a
strong local council to have gen.
eral supervision of all the troops in

local council is formed scout COM
missioner will be appointed and un
der his direction the work will be
promoted.
In appointing the local council the
movement is simply following in the
footsteps of other large cities and
districts where the work is promot-
ed by such a council. This body is
always made up of representative
business and professional men and
must be representative of every Or
ganizatiOn which in any way is in
terested in the welfare of the boys
of the community
The Scout work in Augusta is now
carried on under the direction of the
local y. NJ. G. A. and four strong
troops are already organized with a
total membership of 80 boys. In
forming the local council it is the
plan Of the Y. NJ. G. A. to invite rep
rcsentative men from Gardiner, Hal
lowell. Winthrop and Togus to meet
at 730 p. NJ. Tuesday, April %, at
the "Y" building to take the first
steps. The scoutmasters who are
leading the organizations in Augusta
are Ralph Brown, Rev. w. J. Lay
ton, Rev. f. S. Philbrook and Rev.
A. Francis Walch. Any who are in
terested in helping to promote the
movement are asked to meet at the
"Y" at that time.

A Great Fairbanks Picture at the
Colonial Monday, "A Modern Mus
keteer"

keteer"
Where is the chivalry Of long ago.
when knights fought to death for
their ladies fair? Where is the chiv-
airy of D'Artagnan, the famous mus
keteer and gallant? Though slum-
bering all these years it has been
awakened and will be shown at the
Colonial theatre next Monday when
Douglas Fairbanks latest production,
"A Modern Musketeer," released by
Aircraft is presented.
AS a modern D'Artagnan, Fair
banks is an ideal type, dashing, Qth-
letic and fearless. The flashing sword
of the romantic period is replaced by
the powerful left jab and the mighty
right hook. and in the more sensa-
tional encounters With the trusty six
shooter. The spirit is there, how
ever. and Fairbanks battles for his
lady love in manner to arouse the
envy of the famed Dumas hero.
No Whinnying charter carries his
doughty rider to the fray. but the
modern f1ivver comes in timely need
and proves much more serviceable in
annihilating distance.
Fairbanks plays the part Of Ned
Thacker. of Kansas, who, through
prenatal influence. inherited the spirit
Of D'Artagnan. Before he was born
his mother religiously read Dumas,
hoping that the stork would deliver
the reincarnation Of D'Artagnan. a
boy who might be as chivalrouS as
her idol
Much comedy arises as the gallan-
try of the youth is misunderstood,
and his impetuosity in succoring fc-
males in real or fancied distress
places him in embarrassing situa-
tions.-Adv.
