TO FIGHT MOVIE TRUST
15 Leading Independent Motion Pic turc Distributors Combine to Raise Million Dollar Advertising Fund.

Minneapolis, Minn., June 2S.- Plans for combining 15 leading inde- pendent motion picture distributors of the country into one cooperative organization to fight the so-called movie trust" and to raise two mill lion dollars to carry on an adver- tising campaign on a national basis were adopted at a meeting of the executive committee of the motion picture theater owners association of America here last night.
 The plan outlined by the commit tee was before delegates to the con- vention today. Encroachment of some motion picture producers into the exhibition end of the business was responsible for the committee action, members explained.
 The plan calls for the raising of the fund on a percentage basis from every motion picture theater owner and every independent producer in the country.
 Charges were made that movie trust controls fifty per cent of the motion picture business of the coun- try.

OLD VOLCANO ACTIVE
Stromboli Bursts Into Activity-Was Precursor to McSSina Earthquake in f9oS-On Coast of Sicily.

Rome, June 2S.-The volcano of Stromboli situated in the island of the same name, off the northern coast of Sicily has burst into activity.
 StromboIi is a volcano which is remarkable for it's activity, having been in eruption for the better part of the last 2,000 years. The two most violent outbreaks in recent years occurred in 1907 and 1915. The activity of the volcano in 1907 was considered by some observers as a precursor of great seismic convul- sion which virtually destroyed Mes sina the next year. In 1915 new crater was formed.

NEW ENGLAND SHOES

Half Million Pairs Sent by European
Relief Council

Half Million Pairs Sent by European
Relief Council
Lack of shoes among the under
nourished children of Central and
Southern Europe is almost as vital as
the lack of food, according to reports
received at the European Relief Coun-
Gil Of which Herbert Hoover is the
chairman. In one province of Poland
invaded by the Bolsheviki there were
only three pairs of shoes in the en-
tire district-a territory comprising
normally about two hundred thousand
people. Only one pair of these were
children's shoes and this one pair be-
longed to little boy, who had re-
ceived them from an aunt In another
part of Poland. The shoes were
esteemed so precious that the little
fellow took them off in the house
and when the weather was cold he
stayed at home and let some of his
small friends make use of them.
The shoes and supplies are sent un-
der the auspices Of the European Re-
lief Council, comprising eight relief
agencies.

- for scenery-but what Maine needs
is DEVELOPED water poWer-a
surplus ready to meet the demands of any
manufacturer who may want to come to
Maine.
This need has been supplied by Central
Maine Power Company.
The determination to have power ready
and available has long been one of the guild
ing principles of Central Maine Power Com
pany. Acting on this principle it has add
ed, through the Is months which ended De-
cember 81, 1920, new construction costing
nearly $2,500,000.
It's transmission system, extending from
Skowhegan through Watervile, Augusta,
Gardiner to Lewiston, is now capable of
handling and delivering at any point be-
tween the terminals of this line Is 900 horse
power.
At SkoWhegan the installation of the first
1000 horse power unit in its new hydroelec-
trio plant is completed and the second unit
will be in operation about February / and
the third in April or May. At Farming
dale the line taps into the steam plant where,
if needed at any hour of the day or night
10000 steam generated horse power is
available
From this main line, adequate feeders
radiate to the more than 100 communities
served
1t would seem that the Company has
reached distinct period in it's existence.
1t has achieved the position where it's
lines reach the towns and villages occupied
by one-third of the population of the State,
where every individual or corporation in it's
entire territory is supplied with every pow
er demand that has been made, and where
it still has developed and available, ready
for immediate use a surplus of absolutely
reliable power
AS told in these few sentences, this ac-
complishment may not seem to have much

significance; but to those who have been
struggling and working for this end through
many years there comes the feeling Of pro-
found satisfaction that 50 good result has
been obtained. Twenty years ago no in
dustry located in any one Of the towns which
We now serve could be sure of being able to
obtain 100 horse power of electric power.
Today any industry new or old, can have
100 or $1,000 horse power on application.
Much has been said and written about the
water powers of Maine and the great indus
trial possibilities which they hold out for the
future of the State but there is nothing
more useless for anything except scenery
than an undeveloped water power. Hand
icapped as Maine is by transportation and
other difficulties, Central Maine Power
Company felt certain that the fundamental
~ important thing was not to dwell on what
the great powers that are undeveoped
MIGHT do for us at some distant time in
the future; but to DEVELOP them now and
have them ready to use
This We have done and hope to continue
doing as the need arises.
Because through 1921 we shall have use
Tor investment money for various require
ments, especially to finance the second and
third units which will be placed in our new
power development and to complete the lines
which will interconnect our new properties
with the old, the Company is able to offer to
the investors of Maine through 1921 an
proximatey 10000 shares of preferred
stock.
This stock seems to US to be safe in the
last degree; and likely to pay 81 per share
as long as Maine rivers flow. The price
is $1O7.5O share, the yield 615a; net.
May we send you book, showing what is
behind an investment in Central Maine
Power Company, together with full inform
alton about the Company and its securities.
