$4,000 next week, perhaps early in
the week. The number was nearing
the $4,000 mark on Wednesday.
The State House family was very

Carolyn L. Sparks of Bowdoinham,
for several years in the Office of the
secretary of State, and Ivan E. Lang,
also Of Bowdoinham and formerly
deputy insurance commissioner, now
in the insurance business in Water
vile. The report said that they were
married Wednesday afternoon in the
Chestnut Street church in Portland,
but other details were yesterday
lacking.

VIM. COURTENAY
is A HERO TO
HIS VALET

No man is a hero to his valet, said
someone once upon time. But to
William Courtenay, Kelley, personal
servant and valet to William Cour-
tenay, co-star with lola Fisher in
"Honors Are Even" which comes to
the Opera House on May oath, the
old saying is all wrong. For to w. c..
Kelley, William Courtenay is a hero
indeed. Kelley has seen ten years
service with the actor and he ought
to know
If you ask Mr.. Kelley, who is a
dusky compleXioned gentleman, what
Mr.. Courtenay ever did to get such a
reputation. Kelley will swear to a
list of virtues mile long. Foremost
among them are the following:
Courtenay never loses his temper.
He is liberal in the matter of wages.
In a quiet, unostentious way he
contributes to innumerable charities.
His tastes are simple and he is the
most modern man alive.
In confederation of Kelley's state
ments are the facts that William
Courtenay has never kept even the
smallest clipping of the many vol
umes of kind things that have been
printed about him. And although his
name tops the billing in the play,
visitors find Miss Lola Fisher cozily
ensconced in the stars dressing room.
While William Courtenay calamity
occupies dressing room intended for
one of the lesser lights
Mail orders for "Honors Are Even"
are already pouring into the Opera
mouse and it is evident the people of
augusta want to see this play as
much as they did Clarence" -Ady.

Portable SawmiIl Law

If you are engaged in or thinking
OF engaging in the portable sawmill
business, don't forget that the Maine
Legislature at the last session passed
a rather strenuous law regarding the
use and regulation thereof, through a
licensing system.
The new law provides that it shall
be- unlawful to even erect portable
sawmill without first obtaining d
license therefor from the forest COM
missioner. You must not erect your
mill and then go after a license, You
must have that before you begin
work-for probably some applications
