To Hold Hearing on
.Discontinuance Benton
and Fairfield r. r.

The citizens and merchants of
| Fairfield and Benton held a meeting
yesterday in regard to the maintain
! ing of the Benton and Fairfield Rail-
| road. It seems there is an account
| due this town and this has been run
| ming some time. AS the mill at Ben
i ton Falls has not been in operation
| for some time. there is not much
travel on the road and it was thought
| advisable to discontinue the. railroad
! But this is going to be great dis
advantage to those living in Benton
,who are working here and at Water
vile, also school children. The
amount of business is apt to be
| greatly lessened.
The matter was thoroughly talked
over and hearing is to be held at
later date and Mr.. Mitchell of the
United Paper Board Company will be
| present to see if some agreement can
not be reached where the railroad
may be continued.
Petitions are now in circulation
showing that the citizens of this town
realize the financial condition Of the
| company and signify their desire to
! cooperate All anu dlu IL tJDSSIDlt IN
the continued operation of the rail-
| road.
! CENTER-NIany from Victor
Grange are planning to take the
sixth degree at Benton Grange hall
! July LIST, evening.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Holt and Mr.. and
Mrs. Head have taken a trip by
auto through the White Mountains
and MontMal and Quebec. They
| will arrive home this week and have
been gone two weeks.
James Greene has been at home
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs Reuel
| z. Greene. He came home with a
! broken rib and will return to Lake
| Moxie Monday, where he has en-
ployment.

visiting friends in Gardiner, will re-
turn home Tuesday.

0LD-BLUE silk eponge with
~ white Canton crepe and gayly-
figured cretonne are different
enough in combination to be in
teresting, yet are brought into such
perfect harmony in this smart
model as to be wholly pleasing.
The cretonne sleeve evidenced
here is one of the attractive new
fashion notes. The addition of
heavier fabric to the sleeve in
fare effect gives both weight and
grace and at the same time adds
a distinctive note to the dress.
The dress is finished as a slip
over. The panel extends above
the waist line in the back as in
the front, thus emphasizing the
one-piece dress effect.
The shawl collar at the neck is
merely a bias fold of material
rightly shaped to a becoming width
and length.
Although unusual and striking,
this model is easy of development
because Of its simplicity.

dred or more-but they did neither. Director Howard Higgin and the art directors and others evolved the plan of locating the set on the roofs of the big studio buildings in Hollywood.
 They built up some plaster brick walls, used the regular skylights, chimney pots, etc, hoisted up son arcs and other lights. erected diffusers and took the company to the roofs. The effect was perfect and nobody knows how many thousands of dollars were saved by this judicious move.
 And you, Mir. and Mrs. Playgoer, will never believe it when you see the picture on the screen. That is, you wouldn't if you hadn't been told by the press agent who invariably sticks to the truth and nothing but the truth.
