Public Utilities

The Public Utilities has issued an
order instructing the Bangor &

expense of the company. Kirkpatrick
is directed to maintain at his own ex-
pense a flagman to guard the cross

use.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick is during the win
ter months about to complete by
haulage for loading cars of the Ban
gor & Aroostook Railroad, a quite
large numbering operation, in which
he will deliver to the railroad for
haulage a considerable number of
poles and single stock and some
railroad ties, He has arranged for %
double teams for hauling He was
unable to make satisfactory arrange
ments with the railroad for a con-
venient crossing of the railroad and
claimed that being Obliged to use such
crossing as the railroad wished
would mean n loss of about $4,000 on
his operation. He therefore petit
toned the commission for a crossing
that would be convenient.

THE MICROBE OF LOVE

Friday, September 10th, one Of
The most pleasing plays ever staged
in Barbourville was presented in the
High School auditorium under the
auspices Of the Civic League. Those
who missed it missed a treat. Miss
Birdie HOpson was in charge of the
PIT CsentatiOn and under her able di-
rection only five days were taken to
prepare the production.
The play proved that Barbourville
is blessed with much histrionic tai
ent and while space forbids an ex-
tended write-up, it is safe to say
that all did splendidly. The lead
ing characters were Mrs. George F..
Tinsley. who made a splendid pres
ident of the Spinsters' Club, and
Mrs. Read p. Black was a radi-
.ant Madame Hymen-Cupid for
which her dainty personality was
cmincntly fitted. Mr.. Guy l.. Dick
inson developed a sense of song and
steps which has lifted him into
the ranks of song and terpischorean
artists startling his closest friends,
while Mrs. Dickinson as the wife of
the unfortunate Mr.. Henpeck-G. NJ.
Richards-shOwed a calm mastery
over one of the most detected indi-
viduals we have ever seen in Bar
bourville. These two were the comic
element in the play and they were
all that ana then some.
The ladies of the Spinsters' Club
were all fne-some were not even
recognized by their friends-and the
chorus, sung by bevy Of sweet
girls OF the younger set, gave real
musical treat.
Dan Cupid, as represented by Mas
ter Tom Kennedy. was as composed
u little god as ever appeared in neg
ligee.
Miss Daisy Robson added to the
occasion with several vocal selec-
tions which We're very sweetly rem
dcred.
Mrs. w. S. Hudson presided most
efficiently at the piano.
- The Civic League wishes heartily
to thank those who so cheerfully
gave OF their time and service to
to make the play the success it
really was.

MRS. BETSY LANE SHEPHERD
Makes Good The Edison Tone Test

| Those who were fortunate enough
to attend the "tone-test" recital at
Union College Chapel Wednesday
night were given real treat not
only from the fact that they heard
the beautiful voice of Mrs. Betsy
Lane Shepherd i'm some of the more
simple songs we all love but because
there was q new element introduced
INTO the recital namely, a tone test
of the voice of Mrs. Shepherd with
ner voice as given forth by the re-
cords of the Edison Phonograph Co.
for which she sings.
The quality of sound from first
one and then the other was startling
and it seemed that a familiar spir-
it" was taking up the refrain where
Mrs. Shepherd left off. The chief
point of difference lay in the fact
that the voice from the machine was
not on a level with the lips of the
singer In the rendition of "In the
Cleaning" the house was in dark
ness and when the lights were again
switched on, the artist had disap-
peared and the voice was the voice
of the machine, tho it might well
have been that of Mrs Shepherd her
self.
Assisting Mrs. Shepherd was Mr.
Adrien Frciche, violnist, whose rem
dition Of the various technical num-
bers was in perfect harmony with
the notes that issued from the ma
chine.
Thus two tests were made and the
large audience enjoyed not only the
thrill of real music, but was also
given a demonstration that what is
sometimes called canned music" is
really the familiar spirit" of The
artist who has sung or played into
the studio sound box.
The applause was a tribute to ar
fists and machine alike and Barbour
willie is greatly indebted to Mr.. Col
lie Franklin for unique evening
1t was of course an advertising meth
oh, but it was a method of adver-
Using lifted into the plane of art
and we expect that the sale of Edi-
son machines will receive a stimulus
therefrom such as the promoter de-
serves. The public likes enterprise
and especially when it is of such Il
high class nature.
Collie L., Franklin believes in ad-
yertising and he will surely make
good. Drop into his store and listen
to The machine which gives the best
each artist has to give.

self with perfumes. but the plant or flower has another purpose than this. The perfume is not made for mans use, but for the use of the plant itself. In the plant and flower world the smell of the plant which is in the flower is a part of the scheme where by plants reproduce themselves.
 Every plant in order to reproduce itself must produce a seed. The flow CTS are in most cases the advance agent of the coming seed. Each flower produces within itself little powder called the pollen, but as plants are like people-also male and fe- mafe---they are dependent upon each other for the production of a perfect seed. Some of the pollen from the male plant must be mixed with the pollen of the female plant before a perfect seed results.-F'rom the Book of Wonders, Published and Copy lighted by the Bureau of Industrial Education, Inc, Washington, D. c.

JEWS PLEDGED
 THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION

Three quarters of a million dol lars have been raised to date in the nationwide campaign of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. This amount payable in ten years, has been pledged by Jews through out the nation. This sum is to go toward a fund the purpose of which is to enable the fulfllment of the Unions ten year program of expan- sion to insure the survival of Juda- ism in America. Cincinnati leads the rest of the country in the number of contributions made to date.
 Events in New York city are pro- gressing favorably and the ranks of those that have already espoused the venture are being greatly augment ed daily. Among the prominent men in this city who are active in the af- fairs of the Union are, Adolph s. Ochs, Jacob H. Schiff, Henry Morgen- thau, Ludwig Vogelstein and many others.
