Dance Pavilion at
Island Park to Close

I, Unfortunately one of Names most
beautiful dancing pavilions. where
crowds have gathered all season. has
been forced to close. Although it was
Mr.. Spaulding's intentions to oper-
ate the pavilion through the month OF
September, Mr.. Meyers and his or
chestra have been called back to Bos-
ton for the winter, where they are to
open at the Westminster Hotel on
Monday next. So rather than bring
another organiza ton in for the re-
naming few weeks Mr.. Spaulding has
decided to close his most successful
year tonight.
For this affair much has been
planned and one of the biggest nights
of the summer is looked for, with
favors for ALL confetti and every
thing that will make this night long
to be remembered. until winter rolls
by. making everyone anxious for the
1922 season to start. 1t perhaps will
be of interest to the dancing clientele
to know that Mr.. Spaulding will be
back with them again next season
bringing with him the best that can
be obtained in the music line as well
as a lot of new novelties.-Adv.

serve the laws, and it has been our
observation that one conviction in a
given community has usually been
sufficient to bring about compliance
with the provision of the law in that
community.
at has been and is our constant
endeavor to administer the law in all
cases without unnecessary delay and
in a manner that is for the best in
terests of the people of the state and
equitable to those effected.
Il desire to say that the people of
the State of Maine through their
representatives have enacted a code
of labor laws, which compare favor
ably with those of the most pro-
gressive states of the Union.
These laws were enacted for the
purpose of protecting the health.
lives and limbs of employees, the de-
velopment of economic interests, of
high standards of living. and for the
Improvement Of the physical, mental
social. moral and financial condition
Of all Of the people of the state, all Of
which are recognized as fundamental
policies of any progressive state or
nation.
with these worthy and beneficial
objects always in view, we have
earnestly endeavored to inaugurate
and administer the laws in sucha a
manner that the desired results
would be obtained. and we believe
that much has been accomplished,
though it should be remembered that
the full benefits Of all of the laws
will not be obtained until the scope
of the work of the Department or
Labor has been increased. This cam
not be done until the laws which
govern Appropriations and salaries
have been so amended as to allow
compensation that will attract cap
able employees in sufficient number to
execute the work as the laws direct
and the people expect"
