All those who have read Henry
Payson Dowst's famous story Of 1.-THE
Dancin' Foor' will recall the real fas-
cination of the tale, jugs, jazz and joy
that's what it's about and there is q
whole lot Of each. There is also
plenty of action, too, for ''Wally" no
sooner enters a New York cabaret
sthan he gets into a fight. But then,
he lands girl and what follows
the story.
The screen version is far more fas-
cinating than was the original ro-
nance when published in The Satur-
day Evening Post" In brief the
story about Sylvester Tibble tells how
he goes to work for his motheaten
uncle in the latter's jug factory for a
dollar a day. Then the "rube" from
the country finds out he can dance
and he proceeds to draw two hum
dred dollars week doing that nights,
while in the daytime, he is wonder
ing about jugs. Then he decides to
give up dancing for jugs. Kinder fool
ish, most people might think, but at
that he is right. for he puts real jazz
into the jug business and it begins
to boom as it never has before.
Pretty Bebe Daniels is the girl in
the play and there is a company of
capable artists to assist the two lead
ing people.

Telephone Decision

A decision has been rendered by
the Public Utilities Commission or
dering that the Liberty and Belfast
Telephone and Telegraph Co. extend
its lines and facilities in such man
ner as to give telephone service par
ticularly to those persons who were
the compliments in the case, and to
generally place itself in situation
where it may render adequate serv-
ice to all persons who desire service
within the town of Belmont, Waldo
county.
1T seems that the Liberty and
Belfast Co. concluded that inasmuch
as the New England Co. had gone
into the town of Belmont, this town
became part of the territory of the
New England Co., from which the
Liberty and Belfast Co, either by
law or comfy, should be excluded"
says the decision.
THE result was that the New Eng
land Co. has furnished the only tele-
phone service rendered in the town
of Belmont, and at the time of the
hearing had not exceeded three GUS
toners. The parties who COM
planned to the commission, about 25
in number, testified that all of their
business and social relations were
with people who had Liberty and
Belfast telephone and telegraph
service, and they had no use what
ever for the service which the New
England Co. could render, for the
reason that this company's service
in fhic locality ~ oil
confined to Belfast. and the real
compliments in this case, if they de-
sired to talk with Belfast and had
the Liberty and Belfast Co.'S serv-
ice, could do so by the payment of a
relatively small toll. They preferred
this service and toll payment to the
service of the New England Co.
1.-THE officers of the Liberty and
Belfast Co. expressed entire willing
ness to make the necessary extern
sions to serve these people, if the
commission concluded that it had the
right, and it was it's duty to render
this service. We took the matter
up with the New England Telephone
and Telegraph Co., and the general
attorney of the company expresses
for the company an entire willing
ness that the Liberty and Belfast
Telephone and Telegraph Co. render
this service.
1T was also shown at the hearing
that the New England Co. had some
pole lines in Belmont which it is not
using. and the suggestion was made
that the Liberty and Belfast Co.
could purchase or lease this equip
ment, and use it in the service Of
these compliments. The attorney
of the New England Co. expressed a
willingness to enter into negotia-
tons for the purchase and sale Of
such equipment"
