The news that the French govern
ment has appointed u minister for
sports, to encourage games and phys
ical training, is interesting for sew
eral reasons. In the first place. this
move must mean expenditure. and
France Is already sunk a good deal
further into the financial quagmire
than we are ourselves. Either. then.
France can face bankruptcy with .
smile or she has decided that 'health"
is an essential service. and that the
road to health Is paved with good attn
letics. Secondly. It shows how public
opinion In France has maintained its
steady trend toward an ideal Of mus

THE ABSORBING
STORY OF A
LOVERS SHIRT

"Suds," Mary Pickford's forthcom-
ing production for United Artists
which will be seen at the Augusta
Opera House Friday and Saturday
might well be termed 1.-THE Tale of a
Shirt" for the scenes are all laid in
a little laundry in the slums of Lon
don, and Miss Pickford, as Amanda
Afffick, weaves such a romance about
the shirt which has been left by a
casual customer, that even her girl
chums believe it almost as much as
herself
Having preached the philosophy of
gladness in "Pollyanna," Mary Pick
ford in Studs" teaches the advan-
tages and consolation of a vivid i'm
agination. and when Lavender the
delivery horse, is about to be sold for
glue, she rescues him, takes him up
two flights of stairs to her room and
tells him such wonderful tales that
even this poor old animal believes it.
But with all Amanda Aff1ick is a
little figure true to life and with Miss
Pickford's deft touches she brings the
audience back from laughter to tears
and back again with her wonderful
tales to the tragic termination of her
romance.-Adv.

Humorous "cut-ins" of q pioneer

The vigorous modern western
drama is enlivened by play within

nickelodeon and there on the screen
ses wild and f1eecy western drama
just as it was made in the Bronx in
1910. Carey is shown in the darkened
movie theatre watching the screen.
The west as it is depicted by f1axen
haired floor walker gets on his nerve.
He walks out and steps into a series
of adventures in real life which would
have been far too rough for the SIM

drama.

CARLL CANNING
CO.'S NEATLY DE-
SIGNED LABELS

The Kennebec Journal Print Shop
is just now doing large job for the
CARL Canning Co. of Augusta in the
form of labels for the great pack OF
Golden Bantam sweet corn that II
annually puts on the market for es-
pecially critical customers and which
has a reputation for excellence this
country over and Canada. 1t Is
therefore fitting that the labels on
the cans should be equally neat and
attractive. That it is a fact is doub-
ly proven by the following very COM
plimentary notice of the labels in a
recent issue of Printers Ink, one of
the best and most critical publica-
tons of the kind in America. under
it's department of THE Little School
masters Classroom"
"Container labels frequently carry
copy designed to sell the consumer a
little more solidly on the product.
but, truth to tell, this kind of copy
has a habit of falling into certain
phrases of the conventional type.
The CARL Canning Company of Au-
gusta, Me-. however, puts a label
around it's cans that is little differ
ent from the usual. 1t is apparently
home printed, but it carries a para
graph of copy well calculated to lin
ger in the buyers mind. This is it,:
""This Corn is Bantam, but it is
golden. The golden sunshine got
into it and changed its kernels into
smiles that are as sweet as honey.
Talk about sugar corn-this is it
with the morning dews and sunshine
added. There is more than sweet
ness to it. The south wind has come
to it, bringing the fragrance of flow
ers, the melodies of the birds, and
the benediction of the blue skies.
The Golden Bantam Corn. If
you haven't had it, you missed the
glory of the summer
"A little poetical, but it certainly
carries the smell of gardens in it.
The label. moreover, is a yellow of
the. same shade as the corn itself,
thereby stimulating the appetite.
1.-THE member of the class who
sends in this label adds that What
was equally satisfying was that the
goods did more than live up to their
Autograph which makes the story
complete"
The composition Of the copy for
the labels. SO finely complimented in
the Printers Ink article is to be
credited to E. c. CARL Of this city,
