STAN HUSSEY
DANCES TO A
NEW TUNE

Stanley Hussey has been prominent
in planning dances, around Augusta
and he has been a fairly prominent
figure on the dance floor, but he
dances to. a new tune in I'm Quest of
Kiss" the locally produced and
locally acted comedy which will be
one of fhe features on the special
Opera House program Monday and
Tuesday.
Stan is the villain Of the piece and
he makes some villain. Mercy, how
he is foiled. Then there are plenty
of other local people in the play,
some of whom know they are in it
and some who do not. OF course
Bob Cony knows he's there, for he
generally knows where he is at. Then
there are Lawrence Purinton, Mr..
and Mrs. Alden Hichborn, Mrs. w.
B. Williamson, Mrs. Cony, Marjorie
Stafford and Mildred Rose. Lowell
Stark of the Edgar Jones Production
Co. directed the picture and Gene
French was the cameraman. There
are many other Augusta people who
watched the taking of the picture
who will also be seen in it.
But this is but one of the features
of the big program to be given on
Monday and Tuesday. Unseen
Forces" a Sydney A. Franklin pro-
duction in six reels from the May
flower Photoplay Corporation, offers
one Of the most absorbing and I'M

to fill the program which is a top
notcher. The regular prices will be
charged and one-half the receipts will

Wednesday evening.
In securing this New York and
Boston success, Manager Appleby
pulled a theatrical scoop for Augusta,
for it will be seen in only one other
Maine city, Lewiston. The mail ord
ers that have been received and the
demand for seats at the box Office
yesterday show that there will be a
packed house when the original COM
pany gets here.

price less than they will be sold to
the public. This difference is any
where from two to five points, and
means that the company receives
from so to S. less upon each 500
than the public actually pays for the
securities.
Under ordinary circumstances,
the company could not afford to es-
tablish and maintain a securities SELL
ing organization, for the reason that
the cost would be disproportionate to
the saving. Some of the larger COM
panies, however, have found that 1t
is cheaper to establish and maintain a
selling organization, and that the
amount received by the company for
its securities is somewhat in excess
of the amount which would be. re-
ceived if the securities were placed
through firm Of brokers.
There is, in addition to the saving
in money, an advantage in the sale
of the securities of a Maine public
service company to Maine people. If
q person is a stakeholder in the COM
pany which is serving him. he is
more likely to inform himself with
reference to the obligations and du-
ties Of the company and it's custom
ers, and be much more tolerant and
, fair than he would be If he were not
| security holder
Another advantage in the sale of
stock is found in the terse remark of
one f1nancier who said that with
reference to public service COM
panies there should be more owners
and less creditors I believe that in
. the case of very many companies it
! would be of greater advantage if
there was more stock and less bonds
or floating Indebtedness outstand-
ing, and there would be the added adj
vantage of having in each commun-
ity group of people who, being
educated with reference to the re-
quirements and obligations of the
company and the customer, would be
more tolerant.
"One effect of the increased labor
cost in maintaining small stations
upon our Maine railroads has been to
cause the operating officials of these
railroads to believe that very many
such small stations must be closed.
In former years the railroads, could
employ as station agent some per-
SON who might find remunerative &C.
cupation for such portion of the time
as was not required in the perform
ance of his duties. He was likely to
live near the station and either carry
on small farm or be otherwise
employed part of the time. The
wages under these circumstances
were relatively small. and the duties
and responsibilities of the agent
equally small.
Under the present ARRANGEMENT,
these station agents oftentimes are
paid In wages an amount which ex-
ceeds the total receipts Of the COM
pany at the particular station. To
close these stations or to make them
stations in charge of care takers
would be very serious matter to
very small communities. We are
being constantly urged to make con-

Judge Benjamin F. Cleaves OF
Biddeford, chairman of the Maine
Public Utilities Commission, declared
Friday that in the matter of public
regulation, the commission believes
that the attitude Of the public has
very materially changed within the
last Ave years in this State.
1.-THE general public has become
better informed, the public service
companies as a whole now under
stand that their relations to their
customers must be open and fair,
and both the company and it's GUS
toners fully realize that neither can
exist without the loyal support of the
other" said Judge Cleaves.
"The future of public service regu-
iation depends very largely upon the
public 90 educating itself that 1t
fully understands and appreciates all
Of the mutual rights and obligations
which the company and its customers
owe, and each company so conduct
ing itself and regulating it's affairs
that but little regulatory discipline is
found necessary.
I'VE expect and hope as the years
go by the performance of the duties
Of this commission will be less ardu-
GUS and somewhat more fully appre-
ciated.
Some Of our public service COM
panies have adopted the custom of
marketing their own securities. If a
particular company has occasion to
place some of the stocks or bonds
upon the market, ordinarily one or
more firms Of brokers are employed.
Such q firm necessarily has to make
some profit in the transaction, and
this means that the firm must buy
the securities from the company at a

Wadleigh B. Drummond of Port

ity to increase it's capital stock from

stock dividend Of $4,000.
Mr.. Wadleigh stated that the COM
pany since 1912 had expended on it's

time and had paid 8 per cent. cash
