STILL LAcK or COLONIZATION.

is readily manifest TO the casual observer that
President Wilson has made practical the
authority given him under the provisions OF the
man Act to bring about coordination among the various
departments Of the Government Implications OF work
sn exist with resultant excessive cost OF government
One department either does not know does care
what other departments doing.
One Of the latest illustrations of this fact the dis
closure that the War Department is selling sugar from
It's commssary at fifteen cents pound while the general
public is paying twenty cents pound, and At
tomey General Palmer spending hundreds OF thousands
Of dollars trying TO down pronteers
difference OF nye cents pound more IS too great
to be explained by the difference or purchase and
sale through Government Commlssary.
If the Government can buy sugar at such price as
pound, Attorney General Palmer has available for his
conclusive evidence that would Justify prosecutions
against those who sell sugar at twenty cents
II he can induce the War Department to cooperate
with him he easily ascertain where the War De-
parment buys sugar at price that permits resale at
nfteen cents pound and thus demonstrate the un-
reasonabeness Of sales at twenty cents
Mr. Palmer should request the President to direct The
Secretary Of Mar 10 cooperate with him contemplated
by the provisions Of The Oyerman Act and thus bring TO
Justice without needless expense 10 the public those
who are charging exorbitan prices for sugar
one Of two things certainly be true; either the
War Department selling sugar at too low price or the
Department Of Justice is permitting retailers to sell at
too high price
Either the War Department guilty OF selling sugar
loss the Department Of Justice guilty neglect
in permitting proheers to charge extortonate prices for
sugar.
Mr. Palmer and Secretary Baker can settle ahe ques-
tion between themselves.

in size and every one is in cultivation and income bearing. IT'S

a Priced MementO
OF Late Artemus Ward

A valuable and highly priced addi-
ton has recently been made by State
Librarian Henry e. Dunnack to the
memento of famous Maine people
in the State library, in the shape of
an old compositor's case which bears
in painted characters the name c. F..
Browne. placed there by the famous
Artemus Ward. Mr.. Dunnack secured
it from Roland T. Patten. business
manager of the Independent Report
err Of Skowhegan. who has an ex-
ceedingly interesting story as to how
he found it and who very kindly
donated it to the State library when
Mr.. Dunnack suggested that it was
the proper place for it. 1t will be
suitably inscribed and given a promi.
nent and conspicuous place in the
library. Mr.. Patten says that in 1908
he was shown a board which bore
the name c. r. Browne, by E. e. Nc
Neelie, then owner of the Somerset
Reporter. He was told it was the
signature Of Artemus Ward. Several
years later. when the Somerset Re-
porter had been merged with the

ADJUSTMENTS
THE SPORTING
DUCHESS" TODAY
AT, COLONIAL.

Old-time theatre-goers Of Augusta
will recall the days when The
Sporting Duchess" was the most
talked Of ~melodrama of two CONT
nents. The present generation is,
perhaps, unfamiliar with the play,
but today. young and old alike will
be given an opportunity to see it at
the Colonial. 1t is presented as a
Vitagraph super-feature with Alice
Joyce as the star. Not only is 1t
great production in itself. but Miss
Joyce rises to new heights Of acting
in her portrayal of the title role.
1.-THE Sporting Duchess is big
production. When it was first pre-
scented at the Drury Lane Theatre. It
was regarded as one of the most pre-
tentious stage offerings of the time.
The great race horse scene stood out
in such magnitude as to attract at
tention to the play in all lands where
English is spoken, The success of
the melodrama in America was no
less than it was in England.
AS moving picture, THE Sporting
Duchess" is superior to the stage
version. The great, race track scene
is given as no stage could ever offer
it. 1t is a real race that is shown,
with some of the worlds most noted
jockeys taking part. But, after all.
this scene is but one of the many
big features Of the production. The
screen version of the play is said TO
have cost Vitagraph more than $780,
900, and one may we'll believe it after
witnessing the elaborate presenta-
ton.
Briefly, the story concerns the
fortunes of the Duke and Duchess of
Desborough, their relations to So
ciety, their suspicious of each other
and finally their placing their for
tune on one horse in the great Eng
lish Derby =
The beautiful locations. exquisite
interiors and gorgeous gowns give
the production a color and back
ground in keeping with the magnif-
icent spectacle. The story gets into
the blood and sends little shivers up
and down the spine as the schemers
plot against the Duke and Duchess
of Desborough. You want to warn
them of the danger, to explain COM
plicated situations and set the char
acters Alright. They become real in
cidents to you. The characters as
sumo flesh and blood form and step
out Of, the screen in your mental
vision.
