SECOND NIGHT OF ny" DIPPyDRONE III
DRAWS CAPACITY CROWD To enjoy
ACTS AND ANTICS OF entertainers

by Mrs. Lee shootig through an ordi-
nary band ring held in the fingers of
Kenneth Lee. kenenth introduced an
act on which one could certainly
cast no reflections" by breaking the
little white lozengers. standing with
his back to the target and using a
small vanity case mirror to sight
With.
Another new act by the Shooting
Stars last night was when Kenneth
held up a stick of cvcryda.' macaroni
and Mrs. Lee cut it off into just the
proper lengths by rapid fire work
What this pair can do with the smail
bore arms is truly remarkable. Both
used Remington automatics for their
stunt exhibition.
All of the evening the booths in the
foyer and reading room were doing IA
rushing business dispensing all the
forms of refreshments that usually go
with circus. After the exhibition in
the gymnasium, the floor was cleared
and many enjoyed the dancingg with
the interchangeable boys y. NJ. c. A.
orchestra furnishing the dance har-
mOny.
Milton 0. Dean. the general chair
man Of the 'Dippydrome" was very
happy last evening and well he had
reason to be. He stated that they
were all very we'll pleased with the
splendid spirit of cooperation by in
dividuals and committees which had
made the affair so successful He
believed that Mr.. Kennedy, the physi-
cal director should be especially com-
mended for the organization of the
wonderful physical exhibits and the
shooting Stars" for the great act
which added so much to an already
remarkably diversified program.

because Of the fact that one of these
lines is not in balance with the
others.
An executive must have energy.
ability and vision, and perhaps the
greatest of these is vision. He must
be able to visualize the things ahead.
just as was necessary in 1920, when
those who could visualize the change
in conditions were able to continue
their business while the others fail
ed. But energy and ability are also
necessary, because the game Is fast
and competition keen. Ability is
often an inherited trait. Caruso
worked hard but without his inner
tied and God given voice he would
never have been the singer that he
was.
The speaker said that prosperity
in this country depends on produc-
ton and efficiency of distribution.
In this country we have the world
beaten in both matters but we are
so far ahead in production that we
must better our distribution in order
to keep up with production. If this
is done there cannot be any over
production, as all will get products
for less money and they will there
fore want more of the comforts of
the world. To get this better dis
tribuiton we must eliminate the
waste motion between the factory
and the home. This can be done
through chain stores and mail order
houses. He stated that in almost
any town, the business could be
handled by about so per cent of the
| existing stores. There are two kinds
nf fN1a ic Il
and the other where the working
classes go to buy their goods and
get good value for their money. Dis
tributing Is a matter of psychology,
| it is only necessary to have the best
goods and get the public to know
that you have the bes. goods to sue
| coed.
The work Of the boys committee
! was reported by Harris Woodman at
this meeting. Mr.. Woodman stated
that the money appropriated by the
club would be sufficient to send II
boys to the Y. NJ. c. A. camp this
summer. This number of boys has

to Tsinanfu."
Miss Aldrich said when the train
was derailed by the bandits she
thought at first it was an ordinary
wreck, and then n thought flashed
through her mind the connection might
indicate an outbreak of one of China s
incipient wars.
Her next thought was for the jewels
she had with her-family hcirlooms-
and these she was able to hide before
! she was seized by the bandits.
Having done this she was barely able
to put on her slippers and dressing
, gown when a brigand entered her COM
partment. The robber. a dirty. ragged.
truculent coolie, carried a rifle and
bayonct.
Then" said Miss Aldrich, II was
marched off the train and herded out

were all cold in our night dresses and
gowns.
The succeeding hours were night

our convoy, all carrying bundles Of
loot.

"Just when I felt that I must drop
from exhaustion, one of the Chinese
prisoners near me sank to the ground

poured out a torrent of oathes and
abuses. dropped his bundles of loot
and fired his rifle point-blank into
the man on the ground.
This act terrified the remainder
of the prisoners and we began to
realize OF desperate plight.
FINALLY we reached the wooded
foothills. We climbed upward and
when we reached the top l sank
down in my tracks.
Then the bandits began sorting
out their plumber. 1t was a miscel-
laneous array, jewels, clothing, bed

mattress and some pillows.

was Il success from every standpoint,

as a rousing good time for old and
young. for the dispatch with which
the long and varied program was car
ricd out and financially.
All of the features of the opening
night were given with the same pre-
cision and each and every act was
highly entertaining to the big crowd.
The clowns were perhaps even more
active than on the first night and
their antics were responsible in no
small measure for the high spirits of
everyone. These clowns and funny

Funeral Of Mrs. Samuel Cannon

The services for the late Mrs. Sam
uel Cannon were held Friday after
noon, May 11th., at o'clock at the
residence on State street. The SER
vices were conducted by Rev. A.
Francis Walch of the Cniversalist
church. The bearers were William
Fl. Rice, Charles A. Mlliken, DR.. A.
c. Titcomb and DR.. Julian Wilder.
The interment was made in Forest
Grove cemetery.
Mrs. Samuel Cannon will be re-
membered by the older generation
as life long resident of Augusta.
Her grandfather on the mothers side,
John Reed, choose the home spot, on
which site she has lived practically
all the days of her life. She was
descended. especially on the fathers
side. from a long line of sturdy New
England families, the early ancestors
settling in Massachusetts as a part
of the Plymouth Colony. She inner
tied sterling qualities from these
pioneer ancestors.
Her father, Cornelius Bennett Nor
ton, went to California in the days
of the forty miners which at that
time meant a long voyage around the
Horn. Ship fever broke out among
the passengers and Mr.. Morton gave
freely all his little store of medicine
for the relief of his fellow travellers.
When he was stricken himself there
was naught for succor. He gave his
life cheerfully for others. HE who
loseth his life shall find it,"
Mrs. Cannon was always a devoted
and loyal friend and her sudden
passing brings real grief to her lit
tie circle.

That the 4S-hour law in his opin-
ion would work against the very
people that it is supposed to protect,
was the opinion of r. =. Hazard.
expressed in a speech Friday night
before the members of the Augusta
Rotary club at their regular dinner
at the Augusta House. Mr.. Hazard
expressed his convictions along these
lines as formed through his llnowl-
edge of business conditions in the
various factories Of Maine, He said
that in our factories there is a GER
tain amount of slack that needs to be
tors who are sick and thus leave
their machines unproductive and by
machines which break down. If this
law will prevent the other operators
from working a half an hour or an
hour overtime SO that the other
workers may not be held up in the
morning by lack of the material from
this machine, then it will hurt the
men themselves by causing them to
idle an by cutting down their wages.
He said that in his mind modern
highly specialized methods of manu-
facture are not warranted unless
they can show that they bring to the
1aborer more of the blessings of this
world than he would otherwise re-
ceive. This is because of the fact
in these processes one becomes al
most machine and loses ambition.
To prove that this does not give
the worker the pleasures he would
not otherwise receive, he told Of his
talk with a shoemaker in Jerusalem,
who by working long days could turn
out a pair of shoes in two days.
These shoes were of an inferior quail
ity to ours. In his own factories in
Gardiner, they average seven pair of
shoes for each employee including
the office force, the janitor and all
the others. Thus it becomes appar-
ent that one man under the special
lied methods becomes as productive
as fourteen under the other method
and therefore should receive IA times
as much good from his employment.
He further declared that labor
can't produce a bare living unless it
has capital and management behind
it. He told of seeing in his travels.
men who were willing and able to
work, who were almost starving be-
cause of the lack of capital and man.
agement. Here in Maine we have
a fine class of laborerS probably the
in the Union, and we should make
this one of the premier manufac-
turing States of the country. This
we can do by giving the laborer more
and better wages and at the same
time standardizing the work until the
products are produced at cheaper
cost. just as Ford has standardized
the Ford car and made it universal
through it's low price, while paying
high wages.
The speaker said that It takes
I brains as we'll as equipment to make
a successful manufacturer or mer-
chant. With regard especially to
manufacturing he said that there
We're three requisites for successful
conducting of the business, produc-
ton, distribution and finance. These
things must balance or the whole
business will be. like three legged
stool with one leg out of balance
with the others. A very small per-
centage of businesses in this coun-
try get by without the necessity of
