THE PLAY

one of the most successful high school
plays ever given, was presented last
Friday by the student body. Two per-
formances We're given, one in the after
noon and one in the evening, both be-
ing well attended The gate receipts
amounted to S15S.71 Each of the char
acters acted his part remarkably we'll
showing that they had received careful
training. Aunt Mary was especially
good, sending the audience into gales
of laughter by her original speeches and
actions. Boyd was everything that
could be expected, while Florence Ca
son. who played opposite him, was
equally good, Lucinda and Joshua de-
serve special mention, as they played
their parts with a degree of reality
which is beyond the reach of most high
school students adding much comedy
to the play. Kyle Cox was the typical
brother and his two other chums Carl
Cason and Phillip Mahoney, assisted
him in making life interesting for Jack,
The rest of the cast, Cora Mae Craw-
ford, Ray McDuffee, Clyde Witcraft,
Mercedeth James and Lucia Benge,
took their parts very well, also,
One who deserves as much credit as
any of the cast is Ellis Irwin, stage
| manager, and his two assistants, Ray
mond Ferguson and Paul McDufTee The
| lighting effects, furniture, and stage
properties of al kinds We're provided
| by these boys, who also put the stage
in order and returned the properties to
their owners the next day.
The musical numbers given between
the acts were "Oregon" and Kentucky
Blues" by Alvin Boyd, Clyde Witcraft

Barefoot Trail" by Violet Merritt Dor

that prices have reached the pre-war
level, and unfortunately, they induce
some people to believe such statements.
This encourages some to denounce la

The fact is that prices of the articles
that the worker must buy have not
come down to the pre-war level nor
anywhere near the pre-war level. And
let us all hope that prices will never
again reach the pre-war level

In the daily newspapers an article

Washington which said that the gener-

Of life throughout the country still was
so per cent above the average for 1914.
Here we find prices still so per cent
higher than they were before the war,

wages to the pre-war level. One fails

Health Crusade
Supplies Being
Sent to Schools

The clerical force of the Maine
Public Health Association has been
unusually busy the past few weeks
packing and shipping the Modern
Health Crusade supplies to the su-
perintendents of schools. Last year
the supplies were handled by the
National tuberculosis Association at
New York. but the long distance and
large amount of business at that of
fee necessarily caused delay in re-
ceiving material in Maine, so that in
some instances the work in the
schools was handicapped. This year
all shipments are made from the Of
fee of the Maine Public Health AS
sociation in this city.
Maine is one of the few states to
incorporate the Modern Health
Crusade in the school curriculum.

East Dover Is to Have
Partial Railroad Facilities

A decision has been rendered by
the Public Utilities Commission in
the matter of the complaint of the
municipal officers of Dover against
the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad,
ordering that the patrons of the East
Dover Station be permitted to use the
Dover station as billing point with
respect to. inbound and outbound
freight both in carload and less than
carload lots, and that the East Do
yer station be maintained as a non
agency station in charge of a care
taker, who will keep the Station
clean. lighted and warm and the
freight shed locked during the prop
er hours.
1.-The compliments offered evil
dence as to their business require
ments and urged that the present
arrangements are wholly inadequate
and unsatisfactory, and laid partic-
ular stress on the fact that they,were
required to use South Sebec Station
as their billing point whereas the use
Of Dover station would be much more
convenient. but they claimed that
their business requirements neces-
STATED the maintenance of East Do
YER as an agency station" say the
public utilities commissioners in their
decision.
"yn previous decisions and in our
annual report for 1920 we have dis
cussed the difficulties which con-
front the railroads and the public
with respect to small stations" con-
tinues the decision.
THE difficulty is due to the stand
ardization of. wages and of rules and
working conditions by the federal
authorities, as a result of which the
railroad company no longer can pro-
cure a man to work part time at
comparatively low rate of compen-
sation and devote the balance of his
time to other effort.
In the present case, the railroad
company appears to be justified, in
view of the expenses involved, in
disseminating East Dover as an
agency station, but in the opinion of
this commission the service which
has been given and the arrangements
which have been made since the clos
ing of the station are not as adequate
or satisfactory as reasonably can be
made"

New England Is
Setting For New
Roberts PhOtOplay

The usual BACKGROUND for an Edith
Roberts success is a coral strand IN
the South Sea Islands, but in open
ed shutters" in which she will be
seen at the Colonial theatre today the
dramatic action takes place on the
coast of New England.
The star appears as the daughter
of an INDECENT artist who accom-
plishcs his mission in life by dying
pennless. The girl has long cherish
ed in her imagination the picture of
her aunt and uncle, New England
folks, whom she visualiZes as kindly
old people who will love her. At
her fathers death she goes to them
and finds that her dream folks are
thin-lipped leather hearted hypo-
critics who only shelter her for fear
Of what people would say if they
turned her out.
But out of the fascinating tangle
Of affairs in which she found herself
as the story opens. the girl learns Il
new philosophy of life and discovers
a romance that leads her to eventual
happiness.
The story was filmed with elabor-
ate care as to locale and is heralded
rs one of Miss Roberts most pleas
ing screen efforts. A cast of unusual
aptitude for the various roles was as
sembled.
Another ripping good feature on
today's program is Skipper Has His
Fling a Fontaine Fox comedy
about the queer people of Tooner-

International News are features in
themselves.-Adv.
