Life Is jest;

Laughter is best;
Sing through the night Of It.
swiftly the tear
And the hurt and the ache of It
Finds US down here;
Life must be what we make OF It..
Life is a song;
Let us dance to the thrill OF it.
Grief's hours are long.
And cold is the chill OF It.
Joy is mans need:
Let us smile for the sake OF It,
This is our creed;
Life must be what we make OF It.,
Life is a soul;
The virtue and vice OF II.
Strife for a goal,
And mans strength is the price Of
II.
Your life and mine,
The bare bread and the cake OF It..
End in this line;
Life must be what we make OF IL,
Marriage Is partnership. Every
one will agree 10 that statement. II
should be founded on exactly the same
basis as business partnerships, Now
why do so many marriages FAM For
the same reason that business part
nerships fail-because one party or the
other sometimes both, fail to fulhll
their contract, Then II the majority OF
people know that marriage is part
nershlp, why do so many OF them go
Into Il so totally ignerant Of the terms
OF the contract and their own part In
fulfilling those terms. Why must we
have all this silly sham about mar
riage? Because parents are lacking In
gray matter.
Why doesn't Mamma" tell Mary
that John won't continue to be so good
natured and altogether lovable: why
doesn't Mamma tell her that she'll
have to be very patient and tactful
with him at times, that John won't al
ways let her advise him as to the orr
der OF his necktie, and that there will
be days when she'll be just plain sick
and tired OF looking at that hump on
Johns nose or hearing him crunch
toast?
And why doesn't Johns mother tell
him that Mary doesn't always have a
disposition or a complexion like peach
es and cream. Why doesn't she tell
him to tread lightly when he comes
home some nights after Mary has
been working all day baking In an
oven that wouldn't get hot washing
wood work that was bound 10 streak.
and making skirt that wouldn't
hang straight?
But no-they let them go into II
blindly believing each other TO be the
only angels in captivity. Sometimes
they get their bearing and come on;
of 1t alright but sometimes they don't
IL the present rate keep wen soon be
able to say more often they don't. II
you have any rational moments young
people during that period OF blissful
insanity OF being In love. try and keep
the thot in mind that you must do your
share In this partnership and that this
person whom you have chosen Is only
n human being after all and subject TO
all the yagarios Of the human dlsposl-
ton.

Not Authorized
To Do Business

Insurance Commissioner G. Walden
Smith IN replying to inquiries from
the Cumberland Medical Society and
various physicians throughout the
state made the statement Saturday
that the Medical Insurance Company
located ~ Fort Wayne. Indiana, is
not authorized to do business in this
State.
This company has not qualified or
made application in regular form to
write business in Maine. and anyone
soliciting business in its behalf is do
in- So Illegally" said Commissioner
Smith.
Anyone accepting insurance in
this company through the medium
~ the mails or in any other way
should understand that in the event
~ claim being unpaid or resisted,
T. would be treated the same as any
other claims arising in connection
with an unauthorized insurance COM
pany," continued Commissioner
Smith.
The claim would have no standing
IN the courts Of Maine and therefore
81 would he necessary to begin action
IN the State OF Indiana to enforce
payment or adjust differences.
There are enough companies duly

Of the very highest financial respon-
sihIl.ty, so that It would not seem
necessary for anyone to accept insur-
ance IN an unauthorized company"

Beranger is in position to speak adj
visedly on this subject, having writ
ten the screen adaptation of William
de Miles latest production for Par
amount, Bought and Paid For
which will be shown at the Opera
House Wednesday AMI Thursday. She
also adapted such memorable sue
cesses as DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde"
and Miss Lulu Bett.
1.-THE secret Of good pictures" ex-
plains Mrs. Beranger, lis to be found
in the perfect substitution Of symbols
for words. The spoken word is the
property of the stage Hay; even the
written word has little place in the
photoplay. But in the place of these
words. we must have pictorial
symbols.
perhaps more than any other pro-
Queer, William de Mile realizes the
value of perfect symbolism on the
screen. Subtitles are reduced to a
minimum in a William de Mile pro-
duction. In their place are symbolic
pictures.
AS illustrations OF symbols, let US
recall two instances in Miss Lulu
Bett.' For instance. we told whole
chapters of the story by showing a
Closeup of a shapeless knitted bed
room slipper which dissolved into a
trim evening slipper and then dis
solved back into the original bedroom
slipper. And again. wishing to en-
phasize Lulu's marriage, we used the
simple device Of a tag on the suitcase
which she had carried on her honey
moon. The tag bore her married
name"
These are the things that make for
good pictures, according to the views
Of the noted scenarist. his policy is
plainly visible in the new picture,
Bought and Paid J or" featuring
Agnes Ayres and Jack Holt. The
play told a corking good melodrama
in dialogue. The picture follows the
original dramatic construction almost
in detail, but substitutes symbols for

Louisiana, where f. E. Wood. COM
missioner of labor, declared that ''the
employment situation in Louisiana
was bad" Mr.. Wood said he esti-
mated $4,000 men were unemployed
in that state, 1000 Of them in New
| Orleans.
| A reduction in wages was noted
! in statements from several states,
along with declarations that the eff
cheney of labor was increasing. Sew
eral states reported that the recent
campaign Of the American Legion to
place former soldiers in positions had
met with considerable success and
| had helped materially to decrease
unemployment.
Statements from some Of the large
! industrial centers were encouraging.
Detroit reported that employment in
the automobile industry was 20 per-
cent Of normal, while the general
percentage Of employment was 65
percent of normal, as compared with
so percent year ago.
Among the brightest reports were
those from New Jersey, North Dako-
ia, Ohio, Idaho. Utah and Nebraska,
although they were accompanied in
one instance by the warning that no
outsiders were in demand. Nebraska
was listed May 1, 1921, among the
states with considerable unemploy-
ment with 10000 estimated as out of
work. This year Frank A. Kennedy,
secretary of the Nebraska State De-
| a ~, nf T a cly -
will be enabled to take care Of all its
unemployed in another four weeks;
state and federal agencies are begin
ming to have tAhculty in filling calls
| for laborers; reports from the state
| indicate no unusual or serious con-
dition" He added, however, "Nebras-
ka will need no outside labor, unless
possibly some harvest hands late in
the summer"
| There is "a job now open for ev-
erybody who wants 10 work." in New
Jersey, according to Russell Eldredge,
federal director of employment in the
state department Of labor. He added
| that there is a shortage of skilled me-
chanics all over the state.
Joseph A. Kitchen, director of the
North Dakota State Federal Employ
ment Agency, declared at Bismarck
that next month there will not be a
! farm worker in the state who wants
to work who will be out of job. Mrs.
NJ. B. Bowe, in charge of the Fargo
! State Federal Employment Agency,
declared that there was no acute I'M
employment problem in North Dako-
| ia, and that the state continued to
absorb much labor from the South
and East. The demand is almost en-
tirely for farm labor, she added.
In Idaho, where it was estimated
10000 were unemployed May /, 1921,
unemployment has virtually become
minus quantity. Normal conditions
by June were predicted in Utah.
| The belief that before summer is
/ over there will be a shortage of all
kinds of labor was expressed by B. c.
Seiple, superintendent of the City
Employment Bureau at Cleveland.
Employers at Cleveland are adver-
Using for skilled labor.

clans of the state department of labor.
New Jersey: Building is about nor
NAL in all parts Of the state, accord
ing to Russell Eldredge, federal di-
rector of employment in the state de-
partment of labor. Farm labor is
scarce, he said. Business is improv-
ing north of Trenton. The southern

NAL conditions more slowly. The pot
teries of Trenton are being operated

Der mills are working on three shifts.
Delaware: The building trade is not
noticeably reviving.
Throughout the state there is de-
mand for farm labor and for workers

of normal There is continued de-
mand for plumbers, piasterers, skilled
