Infantry walked away with most OF
the honors during the weekend en-
campment at the State range in Bid

Clinton Parker was ace high with a
score of Ga out of a possible IS. The
ball game was short and snappy and
was won by the outlanders by the
rifty score Of to 0. Col. Harry M.
Bigelow of Portland, commanding Of

passion" PROVES
THE BIG PLAY IT -
WAS PREDICTED

Passion" is proving all that has
been predicted of it. The audiences
that have seen this stupendous First
National feature at the Opera house
declare with one accord that it Is
bigger than they even thought it
could be. Two more performances
will be given today and two more on
Thursday. This play, which has APP
peared at two dollar prices in the big
cities is now being shown for the first
time at popular admission price so
that it is little wonder that it is at
tracing attention.
1t is filled with big scenes The
United States has been given some
impressive demonstrations of what
happens when the passions of mobs
are given anything like full sway
over any particular section of the
country and the conditions exact
most intense interest. For this rea-
son it is said an exceptionally keen
interest is being taken in Passion"
In this instance the whole populace
of a mighty nation is aroused in re-
bellion against lone woman, who
had welded too much influence over
the king and when the passions of
these masses are unleashed most ex-
citing scenes ensue. Five thousand
persons were employed to properly
visualize remarkable reign of ter
ror. in which a 'defenseless woman is
the target in the very vortex of the
mighty storm. 1t is said it is diff
cult to sit quietly in ones chair while
these cinema events are passing be-
fore the eyes.-Adv.

that the East Readfeld Methodist
Sunday school has held this banner
for a majority Of the time ever since
the contest begun some eight years
ago, but that now the other schools
in the district are determined to
wrest it from them. The banner IL
self is made of silk and is dropping
to pieces but it is a trophy TO De
priced and the holders take pride In
giving it due prominence as to dis
play. It now reposes in the Oldest
Methodist church in Maine, that at
East Readfield, where many summer
tourists make it point to visit
during June, July and August. On
Sunday, June 9Th, the people OF
Readfield Depot voiced their public
challenge to the East Readheld
Sunday school and the challenge was
promptly accepted by the latter. AS
a result, both schools are seeking
new scholars and making 1t a point
to keep up their respective attend
ance from Sunday to Sunday. Com
mittees will be appointed to take
care of the matter and a sharp con-
test is expected.

Smith Tuesday issued a bulletin adj
dressed to the various fire chiefs. in
spectors and fire wardens of the

IN dlscouraging the sale of Fireworks

the sale or use of fireworks of anv
character for the Fourth of JULY"
says Commissioner Smith in his let
ter.
The world today is in direct need
Of every created resource in it. Fire
prevention is a patriotic duty and
the man who is waiting for a law
or an ordinance to stop him from
selling fireworks is not a good cjti
zen. Every injured individual loss
of life or destruction of property
mat usually follows in the wake of
the use of fireworks should be con-
sidered as an essentially important
duty to prevent.
The records in the insurance de-
partment show that in the past -
years throughout the country 1862
persons were killed and 42,0S9 were
injured in the celebration on the
Fourth of July.
From all sections of Maine the
department has been commended in
its efforts to thus avoid which has
proven in the past serious conse-
quences in the use of fireworks.
please notify the chief of your
fire department or such inspectors
and fire wardens in charge of the
hre fighting organization in YOUR
community of the desire of the de-
rartment in this matter and may we
especially request that refusal be
made to grant license for the privi-
lege of sale Of any and all fireworks.
The State Insurance Department
calls upon all men. women. BOYS and
girls of Maine to assist in making
this sane, safe and glorious Fourth
OF July. and to give The matter all

OLD AGE, HIS MARK!

Oliver Wendell Holmes, in the
charming discourses of "The Profess
scr at the Breakfast Table" refers to
an unmistakable sign of old age. 1t
is three parallel lines between the
Erows. We can detect the first traces
of disease by signs just as plain.
When a woman suffers from back
ache, nervous depression, dragging
down pains. and those ailments pecu-
liar to women, it is plain that she
needs woman's medicine. What
other medicine could she more wisely
resort to than Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. which for half
century has proved the natural res
torativc for these troubles ADV.
