Gull Growing Cockerels. Only
Small Per Cent. of Cockerels
Should be Kept.

Cn farms where part OF the cock
e. els are to be kept for breeding pir-
poses a careful watch should be kept
on the growing stock and all those
birds which show any undesirable
qualities should be culed out and sold
at frying size. Since the demand Tor
breeding cockerels is limited only a
small per cent OF the total number
raised ought to be kept for breeders
says 7. S. Townslcy Of the Missouri
College OF Agriculture. The cock
crels that will make desirable breed
crs can be picked at an carly age by
their early maturity. rapid growth

such as deep. wise chest and broad,
well developed back. CockercS that
haze poorly shaped combs, that are
deiorrned in any way. or that have
any outstanding defects such as side
sp-igs OIL the comb or feathers or
stubs on the legs or toes should be
disposed of early in the season.
In selecting cockerels for certified
breeders representatives of the Agri-
cultural Extension Service handled
1000 cockerels last fall but found only |
500 that were good enough for GER
lification. Those cooperators who ex-
pect to have cockerels certified this

COLONIAL THEATRE.
Pickford's Next Picture A New Char
cation.

dCtcElLdt dtlOns
Mary Pickford's latest United Artists
production, 'The Love Light" which will
be seen at the Colonial Theatre Today
Thurs. Dec. 28, is an entirely different
story and an absolutely new characterlza-
ton than anything in which the Worlds
Sweetheart has heretofore appeared. The
Love Light has unusual interest owing to
the fact that the idea was worked out
while Miss Pickford was on her honey
moon. She met Frances Marion in Italy,
also on her honeymoon, and the two
worked out the story sitting on high
rock overlooking the Adriatic and 1t was
in Italy they secured many of the prop
critics and several of the players who sup
port Miss Pickford. The players and pro-
pertles were brought all the way from
southern Europe to California where the
Italian settings were minutely reproduced
from photographs taken by the two.
Robert Louis Stevenson's well-known
story, .Ebb Tide" had no love interest,
but there is plenty of that quality in the
screen adaptation by Paramount, George
Melford product, which is to be presented
at the Colonial Theatre on Saturday Dec.
80. The picture adaptation is thriller,
with it's peculiar characters and strange
adventures. The story tells of mans
heroic fight for regeneration at er he IS
apparently down and out. With Mr..
Kirkwood and Miss Lee are George Faw.

The Baptist church was the headquar-
ters for Santa Claus on Monday evening
for there were two large Christmas trees
loaded with things children enjoy and
about 500 of them were present, some
seeing real Christmas cheer for the first
time in their lives. as the majority of
them are not connected with any Sunday
school, Principal Harry A. Foster was
chairman of the most efficient commit
tee, including Rev. George c. Sauer, who
worked early and late to find children
and also to secure gifts for them. Among
the we'll known characters present to en-
ter and Jack Frost, Phil Robbins. There
were two Christmas dialogues with Mar
gart Hanson, Justin Gray, Marian ken-
ney, Emily Howard, Evelyn Toothaker
and Caroline Dolloff taking part, with
recitations by .Sheila Upton, Margaret
Hayes and John Dolloff. During the duet,
Silent Night, by Rev. H. ii. Upton and
Miss Bertha Hayes, Miss Edna Mathews
presented Santa with a lunch. Then
came a short Christmas pageant with
Miss Helen Foster as the Spirit of Christ
mas, teaching the influence of giving the
best instead of the least at this season OF
/ good will on earth. The pageant was IN
/ live parts with the following characters:
4 The Wise Men, Carleton Robbins, Geo.

Central Maine Power Co.

The sound industrial conditions in
Maine were never better exemplifled than
by the remarkable growth of power out
put shown by Central Maine Power Com
pany through 1922.
While the year still has few days to
run, it is possible to estimate that the
growth of generated power in 1917 com
nared with 1921 was at least 1900 600
kilowatt hours
Un Tuesday, December l9, the company
produced the greatest daily output OF It's
history more than half million kilowatt
hours. This is over % per cent more elec-
tric energy than was ever produced by the
Company in any one day prior TO this
year.
The present season has furnished one
of the most severe tests of the past IL
wears for Maine or rganiZations that are
dependent on water power. central
Maine Power Company is fortunate In
that the mailer streams upon which 1t de-
pends for some of its power, notably the
Sebasticook and the Messalonskee, are In
good condition at present The two larger
rivers on which it has power, the henne-
bee and the Androsocggin, thanks to their
very considerable storage. are IN fairly
GOOD condition-considerab better than
such rivers as the Saco.
