when she arrived on the steamer

send their milk to the city, they feed
it to the pigs, while they grease the
axles of their carts with butter for the
same reason.

OAK GROVE SEMINARY

Monday noon two happy bands OF
robust campers returned to the
Seminary, for although weather con-
ditions had not been perfect the
students on both trips had been de-
termined that mere rain should not
spoil their annual week end camping
trips.
They left Friday noon in two
groups; the boys hiking to East Vas
salboro and proceeding in boats to
Bradleys' Island, while the girls liked
to North Vassalboro, took the cleo
tries and then chartered a large
motor boat to take them to Pine
Point at South China. Two parties
of girls also went by automobile.
Principal Owen, Mr.. Hayes, and
Mr.. Doe of the faculty went with the
boys and took eight large tents. The
first night the boys worked up such
appetites pitching their tents that
they consumed two days rations and
phoned for another big load Of pro-
visions early the next morning. Cook
ing their own meals, lots Of exercise
and plenty of boats gave them Il
grand good time in spite of cloudy
weather. The boys broke camp and
hiked home from the lake Monday
morning.
Mrs. Mary Thompson, Miss Clifford
and Miss Totman chaperoned the
girls at Pine Point. The girls had
planned to pass the nights under the
giant pines but the rain of Friday
night brought them all into the cot
tages. Each meal was prepared by
different group of four girls, whilo
still other groups did the homework.
Much jolly rivalry resulted in extra
fine reports as each succeeding group
tried to Guido all predecessors, Fri
day evening a large number Of the
girls patroniZed the fair at South
China, and attended lecture in the
evening by Professor Brown. Games
and books, fudge parties, hikes when
weather and teachers allowed, bath
ing, and motor boat rides around the
beautiful lake made a happy round
Of events.
Early Monday morning the girls
put the cottages in order and were
in readiness when the boats came in
sight to bring them home. They
hiked from East Vassalboro to Oak
Grove. arriving just in time for
luncheon. Recitations began in the
afternoon as is customary after the
annual camping trips.

Famous Dancer
In Support of
Miss Hammerstein

Elaine Hammerstein is the star of
Greater than Fame" the Select pic
ture that will be seen at the Colonial
theatre today. But Miss Hammer
stein is not the only famous perform
er in the photoplay.
Greater than Fame" is a highly
artistic production and when the
script called for an elaborate dane
ing spectacle, Director Crosland went
the limit in his effort to furnish as
colossal scene as possible and Sc
cured the services of Mile. Lubovsk5,
known as one of the leading solo ar
lists of the country. She is dancer
of international fame and has per-
formed before all the choice audi
ences of Europe and last year was
premier danseuse of the famous Hip
podrome ballet in New York. The
scene in which she appears is a mas
sive social function in the home of
one of New Yorks leading matrons.
But it is Miss Hammerstein who is
the real star of the play. This is the
second picture in which she has ap-
peared. Colonial audiences will re-
member her instantaneous success in
The Country Cousin" but she is
even better in Greater than Fame"
than she was in her first picture.
AS the title implies, there is
something greater than fame. The
moral driven home in this story is
that it is a happy heart. and that
success can best be obtained through
contentment of mind, which can be
obtained by patience and under
standing.
In the role portrayed by Miss
Hammerstein-a young country girl
who goes to New York to win sue
cess on the operate stage and tri-
umphs over obstacles and tempta
tions-she has a wide scope for her
talents.
The stage settings and atmosphere
are in keeping with the excellence of
the cast and story, and the gowns
worn in the production will attract
special attention.
Beech Nuts" is the title of a Kip
ling comedy that will be found to be
more than satisfying while the Out

A decision was rendered Tuesday
by the Public Utilities Commission in
the matter of the Freeport Water
Co., complainant against itself, de-

protection service in the town Of
Freeport under which the town will
pay for fire protection an annual
amount Of not more than $500, in
addition to any amount which the

That on the Piscataquis is near

Due to the changed fuctuation in

records Of the old station at Foxcroft
could not be applied to the entire
basin. it has been deemed desirable
to establish a station nearer the
mouth of the river, which with the
