Sixteen duels, man holding up
broken bridge while three riders
cross it, the stealing Of queens
jewels, desperate fight with con-
scienceless woman for their recov-

History retold in celluloid. That's
what is claimed for this feature by
the mana ement of the Opera House.
Based on the marvellous adventures
and escapades of the dashing D'Ar-

Rev. William Vaughan Resigns
C. A. X. Veterans at Spe-
cial Service

Like bolt from the blue came the
resignation Sunday morning of Rev.
William Vaughan who has been pas
tor of the Universalist church for the
past year and a half. He gave his
reasons, his other church duties and
his farm which he maintains in East
Belfast. His Pensioners, however.
were unanimous in their protest
against such a step and every en-
deavor will be made to retain him.
Extension of his summer vacation will
be made if necessary for the parish
is most anxious to hold him. Mr..
Vaughan is pastor of the Trinity Re-
formed church which began its sum-
mer services yesterday and he for
merly preached in Swanville. He
stated that all these duties together
with his farm work were more than
he could do, combined with pastoral
work, but the Pensioners will not let
him go if it is possible to keep him.
He was formerly pastor of the Knox
Memorial Dutch Reformed church of
New York, coming to Belfast about
IS years ago where he has since re-
sided. He is very able speaker and
has had a large attendance every
Sunday during his pastorate in the
Universalist church.

never been preached in Belfast than
that which Rev. Mr. Skerrye prepar-
ed for these heroes of 1861. His words

TODESTROY
GYPSY MOTH

The State department Of agriculture
Monday received from the United
States Parasite Laboratory at Melrose
Highlands, Mass, 121 colonies of par
asites which will be liberated because
they are effective in destroying the
gypsy moth.
The parasite is a tiny fly with a
long name of Latin origin known as
Anastatus Bifasciatus. The large
sounding name is used because the
entomologistS Of both Europe and
America can both work with these
little creatures with a common I'M
Outstanding, whereas If both attempt
ed to use their own language there
might be some difficulty.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has been importing and
breeding these parasites for several
years. The part 'yhich the State de-
partment plays is to locate the gypsy
moth colonies of sufficient size to
make the parasite planting when the
colonies are received.
Scouting work of this nature has
been carried on this spring by the
State department in the line of towns
which takes in Hartford, Livermore,
Leeds. Wayne. Readf1eld, Fayette
Manchester, Sidney, Vassalboro and
Windsor. The department plans to
make the present parasite planting in
these towns and a little later more
parasites will be received to libcrate
in other places.
Inasmuch as the State of Maine
covers large territory and the gyp-
sy moth infestations are as far north
as Dover FoXcroft, it is almost impos-
sible to- raise the necessary funds to
paint out the egg clusters which will
be laid in the fall of the year. so it
is believed that the next best PROPOSE
ton is the parasite work.
While no definite promises can be
made there are hopes for results in
view Of the fact tat other states have
| handled insect pests by means of this
work.
c. w. Collins, entomologist assist
ant at the Melrose Highlands Labora-
tory, has been here in consultation
with Erlon l.. Newdick, the chief of
the Division of Plant Industry, rela-
lived to this work, and the closest
kind OF cooperation has been assur-
ed the State officials.

The public utilities commission In
~, decision rendered Tuesday in the
matter OF the accident at Woodfords
street Crossing in Portland, May 10,
last. in which Charles Q. Poor of
Portland. riding in his automobile,
lost his life. declares that one fact
stands out clearly from all the others
and that is that the gates were not
lowered seasonably at this time.
I'VE feel impelled at this time to
condem the custom that frequently
obtains Of raising these gates. after
they have once been lowered, to
allow waiting automoblists or other
persons 10 cross the tracks" says
tho decision OF the public utilities
commission.
I'VE appreciate the spirit OF &C
commodation that prompts a gate
tender To desire 10 raise a lowered
gate for tho purpose of allowing the
passage OF those who are waiting,
but we feel that such raising of the
gates is an invitation to travellers
10 assume safety and this in the long
run may result in other fatalities.
A gate once lowered for the purpose
OF Safeguarding n crossing should, in
the absence Of n compelling reason,
remain down until the train shall
have passed the crossing. There Is
no evidence in this case, however.
that the gates were lowered and
then raised again. and our remarks
are directed 10 such cases as merit

1T is the policy OF the State Of
Maine, as voiced by its legislature, to
abolish grade crossings. This. how
ever. is a matter involving much ex-
pcnse. and the legislature has pro-
yded that before making such or

School Music Festival
Scores Great Success

Belfast, Me, May 29-(SpcciaD-
The first Music Festival given by the
students Of the Belfast and rural
schools, under the direction Of su-
pervisor of music, Prof Melville f.
Chase, was an unqualified success
and will be made an annual event,
taking the place, so far as Belfast is
concerned, of the Waldo Knox Fes-
tival which for some five or six years
was an event of the school year.
With chorus of $50, including a
quota from the rural schools and
from the PIERCE and Mcclellan
schools. and assisted by Miss Char
lotte knowlton, soprano and Miss
Elizabeth X. kittredge, reader, grad
yates of last June, and by McKeen's
orchestra, a delightful program was
given under the personal direction of
Prof. Chase.
The big chorus rendered Americas

sang America a s the girls carried the
counter composition. a most effective
arrangement and showing what the
High and Grammar schools can do.

and ChadWlck'S Joshua, closing the

she rendered in her usual charming
manner and was given liberal APP
plause. She responded with n sweet

F. Sleeper, formerly Miss Gladys
Pitcher
, 1922-01-14

A New York Physician says that MORE THAN ONE HALF THE
LATION OF AMERICA PERISHES BEFORE MIDDLE AGE and t
of the chief contrbutary causes of this terrible waste of human life is the
aizing weakness brought on by lack of iron in the blood.
, 1922-01-14

The proof Of this isshwvaby HE fact that when
organic iron is supplied to their blood, that al
their multitude of symptoms often quickly
disappear and the very men and women who
were formerly so complaining now become
strong, healthy and vigorous, with even dispos-
itions and sunny, cheerful natures.
Nature put plenty of iron in the husks of grains
and the skins and peels ofveSetables and fruits
to enrich your blood, but modern methods of
cookery throw all these things ~away-hence
the alarming increase, iii recent years, in amaze
mia-iron starvation of the blood, with all its
~attendent ills.
If you are not willing to go back to nature
then you should eat more such iron-containing
vegetables as spinach and carrots and reinforce
them by taking a little organic iron from time
to time. But be sure the iron you take is organic
iron and not metallic iron which people usually
take. Metallic iron is iron Just as it comes from
the action of strong acids on small pieces of
iron and is therefore an entirely different
