TOM MIX OPENS
ONE DAY POLICY
AT THE COLONIAL

Today sees the return of the daily
change of bill at the Colonial No
better program could possibly be Sc
cured than will be provided for the
big feature will be Tom Mix in his
very latest and best William Fox pic
ture THE Feud."
Not only is this a wonderful story
in itself, but Mix has never been seen
to better advantage than he is in this
thrilling photoplay. Mix has come
to be regarded as one OF the most
daring camera actors and an accom-
plished performer. A member of
Roosevelt's Rough Riders, chief scout
in the Philippines and a ranchman
all his life, he occupies a position
unique in the land of make believe.
The days of hoopskirts and Grim
oiine, of men who wore their hair
long and were sure shots, are revived
by 1.-The Feud."
This is one Of the most dramatic
photoplays shown here in long
time. The story. by Charles Kenyon.
is essentially dramatic. 1t revolves
around the feud between the Lynch
ldlIuS anu tIIc foUIIlmGTS family.
Jere Lynch. played by Tom Mix, and
Betty Summers. played by pretty Eva
Novak, are in love. The discovery of
this love affair leads to a renewal Of
the feud and Jere's father and Betty's
brother are killed. Jere has to ride
for his life without having time to
marry Betty and take her with him.
The story continues, through thrill
ing and spectacular situations. until
Jere's son and Betty's daughter are
married, then separated by the heri-
tage of hate. and finally happily re-
united.
Other good things have been pro-
vided for the Colonial bill today

make the real history of the time.
Now as then the real peril Of the
Republic Is not a foreign military
power but the selfishness OF some
who live among us but are not real
Americans because they seek their
own advantage against the public
interest.
"A pagan or autocratic nation may
endure for centuries ruled by sell
fishness in a governing plant, for the
people are controlled by fear OF the
ruling power.
But the very existance Of a self
governing democracy requires that
the average citizen shall be willing
TO seek nothing for himself that is
against the public interest and to
put the welfare of his country before
his own. When unselfishness gets
possession of a democracy the re-
sulting tyranny Of the mob is more
autocratic and cruel than ever exist
ed in the autocratic rule Of a gov
erning plant. The recent history of
Russia furnishes melancholy proof
of this.
During the war the true spirit OF
Washington flashed forth in the ans
wer Of America to the challenge OF
the worlds need. Government criti-
cism was only another manifestation
of the selfishness against which
Washington fought. Let the aniver-
sary of his birth remind US that the
ease and luxury of this period Of re-
taxation following the war must not
be allowed to quench that spirit Of
self sacrifice without which the Re-
public which was born at Yorktown
and framed at the Marine and Cha
teau Thierry cannot permanently
endure"

CAN'T ENTER
LISBON FALLS

A decision was rendered Saturday
by the Public Utilities Commission
dismissing the application of the
Bath and Brunswick Light & Paw
! er Co. for authority to render service
at Lisbon Falls in Androscoggin
county.
The commissioners say in their de-
cision covering the matter:
THE evidence introduced at -he
/ hearing showed that another COM
pany, the Lisbon Falls Electric Co.,
is authorized to render and is rem
dering service in this territory but
complaint as to the character Of the
service had become SO widespread
and insistent that this petitioner
was requested to ask for authority to
come into the territory and render
service.
THE commission advised that this
petitioner make effort to purchase
the property Of the Lisbon Falls
: Electric Co. in order that no injustice
shall be done the owners thereof
Negotiations were attempted but no
arrangement could be made which
was satisfactory to the Bath and
Brunswick Light &: Pawer Co. and
on Feb. II we were notified that ne
gotiations had failed to bring any
satisfactory results.
THE commission thereupon exam
ined the charter Of the petitioner to
see II authority to render Eervice
within the territory was undoubted
and has become convinced that the
petitioner is without authority 90
render service in Lisbon Falls under
he existing circumstances.
The applicant has NOT received the
consent Of the Lisbon Falls Electric
Co. and this commission is not au-
authorized to give that consent"

ASCENT OF Pixies
PEAK WAS MADE
IA YEARS AGO

Colorado Spring, Colo, July IL
One hundred years ago today Dr.
Frank James astonished the world
by climbing to the top of Pixies Peak
14,109 feet above the sea. Since
that time 100000 persons have made
the trip and today Colorado Springs
is celebrating the anniversary with
ceremonies all along the Is miles
serpentine automobile highway to the
summit.
Lieutenant zebulon M Pike is
credited with the discovery of the
mountain in 1906. AS hardy a pio-
neer was the discoverer he de-
clared the peak was in accessible and
none dared to doubt it until July IA,
1920, when Doctor James a mem
Der of the Major Long expedition,
succeeded in the attempt
Major Long christened the noun
tain James peak but the pioneers
and plainsmen persisted in giving it
the name Of it's discoverer and Pixies
Peak it has remained.
The history of tourist travel to this
most famous spot of the Rockies has
been that of the development of
highway transportation. First came
a bride path, in 1878, two years later
a wagon road was built and in 1891 a
cog wheel railroad was constructed.
With the development of the auto
| mobile industry came the demand for
a motor road and in 1916 the present
motor highway, winding around the
mountain in devious curves, with pre-
cipitous rock walls flush against the
road on the one hand and deep ra-
vines on the other, was completed at
cost of 100000. 1t has an aver
age grade of Z per cent and a maxi
mum of 10 IA per cent. 1t was 20
| feet wide except at the curves which
were extended to so feet for the
greater safety of the motorist.
Pixies Peak is eight miles in an air
| line from Colorado Springs and the
greater part of the mountain is con-
trolled by Colorado Springs to safe
guard the city's water supply.
In April, 1919, a government wal
tank attempted to climb the peak but
! was blocked by snow drifts. A month
| later a caterpillar tractor made the
| ascent.
Walking races, burro races, motor
| cycle and automobile races have beer
! held on Pixies peak. The first air
plane to cross the peak was flown
| over the mountain on August 8, 1919
| piloted by Alexander Lendrum, OF
| Colorado Springs.
| The record for motor over the L
| miles from Crystal Creek to the sum
NIT is held by Ralph Milford who
made it in IS minutes &c seconds.

TO LIMIT wHIsKEY DOSES.

Washington, July 14-Prohibition
enforcement officers and dry advo-
Gates are exercised over the growth
of the liquor prescription business in
Washington and other cities. A move
is on foot to limit the number of
prescriptions per doctor to 100 for
three months. The regulations now
provide, that each doctor may have a
book of 100 blanks a month and more
if absolutely necessary. No law limits
the number, but the Prohibition en-
forcement Office arbitrarily fixed 100
as>the number. Doctors contend that
they and not the enforcement officers
should know how many prescriptions
are needed.
when the matter of the number of
prescriptions was discussed by the
Internal Revenue Bureau, it was the
