varied expressions of opinion were
heard. At one extreme was the view
that both disputes would he settled
within the current week, and that with
these uncertainties out of the way the
only remaining need Of the carriers to
insure a prosperous half year was a
good grain crop. At the other extreme
was the opinion that the railway shop

is generally believed. and that because

Adams Express Company.

Recuperation from the Governmental

periods has reached the point where the
financial community expects resump-
tion of dividend payments by Adams
Express Company before the end of the
current year. The two chief liabilities,
which stood in the way Of dividend res
toration when the last annual report
was issued, were s632.654 due the
United States Railroad Administration
and s1.31S.519 in unsettled claims. both
OF which have been substantially re-
duced. The management Is contemplate
ing resumption Of dividends at either 5
per cent. or 6 per cent. probably within
the next few months. "The directors SO
far have not formally considered the
resumption of dividends. although they
look forward 10 resumption as soon In
the future as business conditions war
rant" said director of the company.
THE condition of the company's finances
since the last annual report to share
holders reflects progressive improve
ment. The market value Of securities
held has appreciated considerably. and
all outstanding accounts are being liqui-
dated as fast as possible"

Movie Folks Will
Film Augustus
Winter Carnival

Evidently those interested in pro-
ducing the Kinogram News Films
have heard of the Augusta Winter
Carnival for they have asked Secre-
tary Clarke to recommend a local
moving picture photographer to act
for them during the carnival and
in fact at all times when news wothy
OF filming is present. The Augusta
Carnival is purposely spectacular as
the committee intends that it shall
be filled with events that will thrill.
Augusta has no objection to having
her fame as winter sports center
thrown upon the screen of every
moving picture house in America. In
fact her leaders are seeing to 1t that
she has a reputation second to none
in matters Of this kind and they are
planning a carnival that will sus-
tain this reputation.
What could be more thrilling than
ski bumpers, men, women and child
rem. leaping forty feet through the
air. after sliding down an incline at
fifty miles an hour. Ski-kjoring,
WHICH VIII. nave us ilTSC INTRODUCTION
into Maine winter sports at the Au-
gusta carnival, is another thriller.
Trick skating and fancy aesthetic
skating are both spectacular and ar
tistic and such events as obstacle
races, hockey games. tobogganing,
and the like ought to furnish i'm
pressive scenes for the film maker.
1t is also hoped that permanent
State of Maine film may be made
during the carnival.
