to assume more serious proportions,
was discovered between 12 and 1
o'clock on Thursday morning, April
%. A barn. the property of G. l..
Bartlett, was burned to the ground,
and a nearby dwelling house was
badly damaged. Both structures had
been used as store houses for some
time past. When the fire alarm was
given the barn was found to be SO
nearly consumed that nothing could
be done to save it, and the efforts of
the fire department was therefore
directed toward protecting a cluster
Of dwellings nearby, the roofs of
which were already kindled. In the
barn were two automobiles, both of
which were burned. together with
various articles kept in storage. At
this writing the cause Of the fire has
1otSbeen. ascertAined.

EARLE WILLIAMS
HAS ANOTHER
MANS MAN PART

4XxxA4V ~ 044AAN - = 1870
There's no denying the fact that
Earle Williams is q huge favorite
with the patrons Of the Colonial thea
tire. The mere announcement OF his
name is sure to pack the house.
Each play in which he appears seems
to be better than the preceding one.
but in Diamonds Adrift" in which
he will be seen today, he is right In
his element.
In the role Of Bob Bellamy he has
another one of those mans man roles
which fit him so well.
Having run up bills amounting to
$4,000. which his father had to pay.
besides spending his allowance of
5000 a month, Bob found himself
called sharply to account. II he was
ever to receive any further consid-
Grafton or aid from his father. he was
told, he must take a position as su-
percargo on one of Bellamy's steam
ers at $50 a month and repay the
$4,000.
1t seemed formidable contract to
Bob, who figured that 1t would take
him eleven years to fulfill it He was
mistaken, however, for single wildly
adventurous voyage. in the course OF
which he was close to death by vio-
lence more than once, was to pro-
vide him with $1,000 and beautf-
bull bride.
Everyone has been following the
various incidents in the life of "Vel-
vet Fingers" all will, therefore, be
on hand today to see the next-to-the-
last episode which will be shown.
Romeo and Juliet" is comedy far
out of the ordinary and the Pathe
Review, will, of course, offer some
thing unusually good.-Adv.

The people of Maine cannot ade-

The worst living and crop conditions

ditions that exist even in normal

China is always hungry and its i'm
mense population is ever on the verge
of starvation; a drough or a food and
millions perish. China is a sister re-
public of sturdy, intelligent and hon
est people.
