Public Utilities

A statement was issued Saturday
by the Public Utilities Commission
saying that after an investigation the
commission is satisfied that sufficient
grounds exist to warrant a formal
public hearing on complaints made
against the Limestone Water &
Sewer Co.
This company is not giving good,
sufficient and adequate service to its
patrons" says the commission. 1.-THE
supply of water furnished by the
company is entirely inadequate and
at tines entirely fails. The pump
ing station is broken down and out of
repair and no efficient attempt has
been made to maintain it. Many
leaks are alleged to exist in the
mains and the lining of the reservoir
is badly cracked and deteriorated by
the action of the frost and otherwise,
so that the reservoir will not hold
water. The community served by
this company has been entirely
without water service for long
periods of time and at other periods
the supply has been enetirely made
quate."

Frank S. Adams Of Bowdoinham.
chief of the bureau of markets con-
nected with the State Department of
Agriculture, declared Saturday that
hundreds of farms in Maine today
are not cultivated from a commercial
standpoint because Of the scarcity Of
labor.
THE situation as to getting men to
ill the soil is serious and is not
growing any better" continued Mr..
Adams. There is no use in talking,
men won't work on the farms. They
get more pay and shorter hours while
on their jobs in the cities and the
most Of them do not want to go into
the country to work. for there they
cannot go to the moving pictures
every night. I don't see how men
can be procured in this State to get
in the hay crop this year. l think
that some Of the men, especially if
they have no trade can do better in
the country than they can in the
cities. i.

When New Templeton was sick and
starving in Paris his pretty wife sac

to health and strength. He thought
the money she brought him came
from her father. who had really dis
owned her for marrying the young
artist. Later, in America the voung
artist won success, but with it came
an estrangement brought about by a
wealthy art collector whose dauSh-

had ceased to love her. She was
struggling to make a decent living
as an artists model. When Tenn

wife had made and Of the efforts Of
his rich patron to buy him from her

complete. Frank Mayo in telling this

Two RIVERS LINKED
A n,d.r oscog gin and
Kennebec Harnessed
Together by Throw
ing of Switch at
Brunswick Station
of c.. M. P. Co.

An important milestone in the his
tory Of Maine hydro-electric power
development was passed recently.
when two great Maine rivers were
harnessed together through the in
terconnected electrical system Of the
Central Maine Power Company.
Nothing spectacular happened
when the power generated from the
Kennebec river and that from the
Androscoggin river were brought to-
gether by the simple closing of a
big switch in the Brunswick power
station Of the Central Maine Power
Company. Probably no one outsi0s
Of those Immediately concerned in
the actual work knew when the two
streams had been linked together to
work for Names prosperity.
The Deer Rips station. Of the An
droscoggin Electric Company has
been furnishing electric current for
operating the Androscoggin and
Kennebec railway in Lewiston, Lis
bon Falls, Brunswick, Bath and
REPORT. This brought the 'Andros-
coggin's and Central Names trans
mission systems into the Brunswick
power station. but up to this time
they had never been connected.
Since the Central Maine Power
Company has taken over the opera
ton of the Androscoggin Electric
Company's system it had seemed in
advisable to operate a steam plant in
Lewiston and one in Farmingdale
for maintaining emergency service.
During the recent construction work
at Deer Rips power station it was
necessary to close that hydro cleo
trio plant and by making this con-
to be transmitted from the Central
Maine Power Company's system to
the Androscoggin Electric Company's
system without any interruption to
the railway, lighting or power serv-
ices. In fact, very few customers
realized that the Androscoggin and
kennebec rivers had been tied to-
gether electrically.
AS soon as the new transmission
line which is now being built from
Farmingdale to Deer Rips . COM
pleted, this connection at Brunswick
will simply serve as duplicate line
and the greater part OF current trans
mitted will be directly between the
Central Maine Power Company's
lines at Farmingdale and Deer Rips
This - connection of the two sys-
TENS will result in great benefit to
both companies both in the operation
and the maintenance of good service.

probably Savannah's oldest citizen

advanced seven years beyond the goal
of the centenarian Mrs Lucy Matil-
do Kenney. of I'LL Montgomery
street. will celebrate her l0Sth birth
day.
Met at the door Of her home, the
reporter having made inquiries Tor
Mrs. Lucy Kenney, he was dumb
founded when he was informed that
the lady for whom he had asked was
before him. With alacrity she ush-
cred him into a room where a blaz-
ing fire bespoke warmth and cheer.
Displaying the zest of l6-year-
old. she talked entertainingly on
many subjects and injected into the
conversation delicious play of roll
licking human nature and wit. bela-
five to the matter of woman suffrage,
she said she had not registered, and
would not vote. In her opinion, wo-
mans place is in the home and not at
the ballot box. In her youth, she
stated. that women would never have
dreamed of advocating such foolish
ness Politics is a subject wholly
foreign to her life. and she has no
interest in that direction. She SAYS
automobile riding may be all right,
but she prefers a horse and buggy,
since it affords a surer immunity
from bodily harm "Aeroplaning" is
entirely too risky and she would
never relish the of soaring into
the blue either.
Mrs. Kenney is truly remarka-
Bile = and her physical agility
is amazing. She experiences no diff
ficulty in attending to the household
chores, eats three square meals" a
dav. and s'o~-s soundly every night.
Her outlook on life is wholesome and
she is "dead certain" cure for the
blues.
She plans to spend her 108th birth
day quietly and says that somebody
may bring her "a June bug with
string tied to its leg"
