THIEVES FOILED IN
ATTEMPT TO STEAL AUTO

Topsham, Oct. 11-Mr. and Mrs. F.
f. Phillips of Lynn, who have a booth
at Topsham fair. drove from Lynn
to Topsham on Monday and went di-
rectly to the home Of Lucian White
almost at the entrance of the fair
grounds-where they had engaged
rooms. They left the car near the
highway and went to bed.
Early in the morning they found
the car in front of the h6.se, near
the curb. It's hood was up and it was
covered with muddy finger prints.

Phillips to a Lewiston Journal re-

without a switch key. They weren't

it up as bad job. They took all my
tools, including new Miller inner

shoe on the back that they couldn't
get off. They had tried hard enough,
and that accounted for the muddy
fingerprints.
1T is one of the strangest things
l ever heard in my life-because, as
understand it, several people

working. But as they appeared to

were probably well dressed, nobody
paid any attention-just thought they

Planters Return
After Big Flood

New Orleans, Oct. 11-Planters who
were driven from their farms and
carly crops in the disastrous Miss
issippi river flood last spring, are
attempting to harvest what is left
of the smaller field crops and pre-
pairing the soil for the winter prod
ucts. With the soil rich with de-
posts of the river and with the
$4,000 distribution of seeds and
plants by the Louisiana Legislature.
many planters are well on the road
to recovery.
The flood waters, which drove
10000 persons from their homes.
spread over thirteen parishes and
caused a properly estimated loss to
exceed s10.000,000. The levee system,
seriously damaged by the unprece-
denied high water, now is being
patched at a cost of several million
dollars.

Great Northern
Building New Mill

Madison, Oct. 1.-THE Arson end
Of the Madison and Arson bridge
across the Kennebec river is fast be-
, coming hive Of industry as the re-
suit of the decision of the Great
Northern Paper company to put in
a hydro electric plant to develop
1000 h. p. For a long time the local
plant of the Great Northern Paper
company has been badly in need of
additional power. Various plans have
been considered. Last spring it was
decided to widen and deepen the
present canal. The old pumping sta
ton owned by the Madison water dis
trict was purchased by the paper
company and at special town meet
ing it was voted to raise $4,000 with
the understanding that the paper
company put in a wider and longer
bridge across the canal. An uneX-
pected difficulty in making satisfac-
tory arrangements with the Madison
WOODEN company for extending the
canal under a portion of their mill
came up and led to the abandonment
of the plan. The company engineers
again got busy and survey of the
company property on the Arson side
was made just below the end of the
bridge, with the result that it was
decided to develop the power on that
side of the river and run it into the
mill in Madison in the form of electric
energy.
A rock crusher and three engines
have already been set up. Steam
drills are at work on the point of
rocks and daily blasts are made. A
big cement mixer has been installed
at the end Of the sidewalk on the up
per side of the bridge. The present
log sluice on the dam is to be de-
molished and a new one built Just
cast Of the center pier of the bridge.
Cellars have been dug and the house
lust north of the Arson town hall is
to be moved in two parts to new To-
cations on Arnold lane. The Job will
keep large crew of men busy for a
number of months. Citizens on the
Arson side are much pleased over
the prospect of substantial addition
to the taxable property of the town.
Various stories have been afioat that
after building the power plant the
paper company would erect a bag
mill and make other improvements.
When asked about this Superintend-
ent Schenck told the Journal that
there was absolutely no foundation
for the story and all the company
would do was to develop a power
plant.

ADJUSTMENTS
Norma TaImadge Scores Best Work
on the Screen

1t may sound rather routine to say
that Norma Talmadge has scored an
other screen success in her latest
starring vehicle. "Smilin' Through"
the First National attraction which
began an engagement of four days at
the Opera House yesterday.
And so we must go little further
and say that "Smilin' Through" is
positively the best thing that Norma
has yet done for the silent drama.
More than that. it is a magnificent
dramatic production in every respect
1t is a new classic of the screen.
Norma is superb in the dual role
which she plays in her thoroughly
capable manner. She proves herself
great tragedienne as we'll as emo
tional actress in the part of Monyeen,
who is killed by jealous lover on her
wedding day. She is charming, al
Turing, adorable as Kathleen, the lit
tie niece of Monycen.

SaIIies' Home Service Appeal

The solicitors of The Salvation
Army started work in the business
section Yesterday and although the
results did not total as large as eX-
pected owing to many being away,
vet the responses from those inter-
viewed were very satisfactory. About
90 contributions were received by
Hon Charles S. Hichborn, treasurer
Of the Advisory Board. Contrihu
tors are urged to mail their checks
to him at once to save the solicitors
much time in making the personal
solicitation. All who mail checks to
Mr.. IIichburn will not be called upon
by solicitors. The $1,000 is badly
needed to carry on the work planned
for the ensuing year. If this quota
is realized it will meet the budget
requirements for the year ending
June 1923, and the citizens of Au-
gusta, HallOwcll, and Gardiner will
not be asked to make further contri-
buttons until the Home Service APP
peal in 1873. Campaign Director f. A.

sistance that could he rendered to
