c.. OF c.. BEGINS
WORK

The Augusta Chamber OF Com
merce began active work Monday
night when the new secretary, G. c.
Clarke of Portland, assumed Office.
For. nearly month business has
been accommodating and a mass Of de-
tail required immediate attention of
the board of directors. A genuine
spirit Of cooperation was shown by
the members of the board with al
most the full membership reporting
for the meeting. Those present
were: Blaine Viles. president: Mil
ton o. Dean, vice president: G. A.
Ellinwood, treasurer; p. v. Hill,
Walter S. Wyman, Guy P. Gannett,
M. NJ. Davis. Willis E. Swift and F.
E. Tracy.
After the usual routine business
had been cared for the announce
ment was made that Blaine Viles,
president of the Chamber. wished to
resign due to pressure of his own
business arrangements, and after as
surfing themselves that Mr.. Viles
would not reconsider. the resignation
was accepted with regret. It was
decided not to elect a successor to
Mr.. Viles until a later meeting and
that Milton o. Dean, vice president
of the Chamber be asked to act in
that capacity for the present.
One very important action by the
board consisted in vote authorizing
the secretary to prepare a special
illustrated booklet advertising Au-
gusta, in which will be set forth in
pen sketches and halftone illustra-
ti0ns the advantages Of Augusta
from the commercial, industrial,
recreational, educational and similar
standpoints. : Henry E. Dunnack,
State librarian, will be asked to CO.

Sales Tax Drive

Collector Tebbetts Tuesday re-
ceived a communication from Will
liam M. Williams, commissioner of
internal revenue at Washington
stating that it has been decided to
prosecute an intensive sales tax drive
throughout the country. to be car
ried on with the utmost spirit and
vigor, effective at once and to be
continued to August Is. inclusive.
This drive will be conducted I'M
der the immediate supervision of the
collectors and their chief field dep
uties, who will be assisted by the
field assistant supervisors operating
in the various collection district.
1T has been discovered that prac-
tically so per cent of the dealers of
soft drinks are either keeping no
record or that the record kept is in
correct and insufficient for checking
purposes. In order to secure the
proper amount Of taxes due the gov
eminent, we have ascertained that
the lowest possible tax due from a
soft drink parlor should be not less
than SO cents gallon on all ice
cream purchased. Therefore, your
deputy collectors, where they find no
records are being kept, should Sc
cure from the manufacturer of ice
cream the data necessary to prove
how many gallons Of ice cream were
purchased. and If the soft drink par
lor has not at least returned a tax
based on the estimate of so per cent
for each gallon so purchased and has
kept no reliable record Of taxes COL
lected. the deputy should collect the
additional tax If any is due, on this
basis"

Holman Day
And Maine Movies

The Boston Sunday Herald Of June
20 contains q very interesting story
about Holman Day under the heading
familiar conversations with literary
workers Of Boston" Following Is
an interesting extract from his ip-
terview:
"Mr. Day Is now writing scenarios
Of the Maine woods for a company OF
Maine men. which is working in Au-
gusta, exclusively on his material.
There they have a large studio,
equipped in the best manner, with q
large resident company Of actors.
The actorsOwear wood toys, day In
and day out, 90 that they come to
feel the life, to enter into the spirit Of
the aim, the story, and not to look

Of toga. It was for this company,
the Edgar Jones Producing Company,
that the dam was blown up. For
them. too, 1.-THE Rider Of the King
Log" is being filmed. The entire Car
rabasset crew Of, 500 lumbermen is
in the scene Of the Kavanagh funeral
and the barbecue. We may know
that from this company we shall Sc
cure as nearly accurate portrayal Of
the woods as wa can ever expect to
have.
Filming in Maine is not always so
easy as in California" Mr.. Day re-
marks. I'VE have to wait for weather.
You can't take a picture of log
drive except when one is going on,
and you have to wait for spring to
catch it. You can't take a snow
| scene unless there is snow. 1t is re-
! curing six months to film King
Log We had to do it >backward, on
account Of the seasons.
II have our company stocked up
with work for the next six months,
and there will be more to follow. We
shall probably later establish stu
dio on the shore somewhere and film
pictures Of shore stories. We have
already completed IL two-reel pic
lures under the. title North Woods
Dramas We shall do "a two-reel
Maine woods stories a year, in the
actual surroundings.
You know. the New York produc-
ers are positively panic stricken be-
cause they have used up most Of the
available story material from the lit
| erature of the world, and they don't
know where more is coming from.
Not every novel, every story, is good
for the moving pictures, however
good it may be as a novel or story
And in their ignorance-often-o
literature in general, they don't know
what to do next"
