day evening the second performance
of the Elks' Ministries was given in
the Opera House.
The ends! You should have seen
them-eight of them-all a-hitting
On high.
Running Wild" was the song
which tempted Charlie Bond to make
his debut as hlackface. Charlie
has a voice that leaves his lips easy
like and strikes the ear =. just the
same-easy-l Like. His song was a
clever number and he demonstrated
he cold put over a melody as well as
the next one.
A ballad of appealing sweetness
was when Will the Sun Shine for
Me" as sung by Charles RilOdeau.
All we have to say is that it would
indeed be a cold -hearted sun that
would refuse to shine after hearing
Charles appeal.
During the past year, all those big
guys in New York have been busy
writing a song for Doc Thomas, and
Qs a result he sang "Oh LaWdy," a
song after his own style. Doe was
right there with his own style.
1t remained for Earle Hayes to
strike the really serious note of APP
probation upon the part of the audi
ence when he sang BELLS of the
Sea" in his deep bass voice. 1t was
a song of nautical swing, tempered
with feeling enough to.make it beau
tiful. And Mr.. Hayes did nit highly
satisfactorily.
One of the catchiest songs of the
minstrel show was "Way Down YOn-
der in New Orleans" as sung by
Jimmy Comedian. AS u harmont
lad, Jimmy was there.
And Ludger Nermette sang Call
Me Back. Pal of Nine" a song that
is not old, either is.it new. Yet it
was a splendid means of protraying
the romantic qualities of Mr.. YER
mette's tenor voice.
A little bit OF Spanish, with dash
of red pepper for luck, Whit from
old Egypt and King Tut and all that
you know, Charlie Kinsman' brought
to the front in his song, "Wanita."
Charles Spanish dance, aided by his
checkered apron and his Tuttish
dances. brought down the house
that is. in the laughing line.
Leo Tetu sang THE Angellus
, Lullaby" and was the cause of much
applause. Mr.. Tetu is possessed OF
most pleasing voice. expressive and
luii VI lScllHS.
And Bill Bunker's share in that
part of the program was telling a
story to the tune of II Amt Afraid
of Nothing That's Live" Bills home
talent stuff was side splitting. Once
after insistent demands. it looked as
if Bill was stopped. but he met the
occasion again and showed them that
he had inside information of the af-
! fairs of the town.
Our Director, cheers and more
cheers. Charles Gaa sang. For the
! Sake Of Aud Lang Syne." Mr.. Gaa
! has 4 fine voice and his song was
another high light of the evening.
Jerry Carey sang you've Got Tf

Few Fishermen Out
on Lake Tuesday

Transportation facilities or rather
the lack of them. and the Kennebec
river freshet kept the anglers away
from the lake Tuesday. Reports re-
ccived from Cobbossee last evening
were that the big pond was pretty
we'll rolled up as the result Of the
big wind storm and heavy rains. and
fishing conditions will be. whole
lot better the last half of this week
than they have been at any time since
the ice went out.
AL Pinxham reported only one boat
out from his landing. Tuesday. but
this one returned with three trout.
They were landed by Dewey McDon-
aid and Wallace Purnell of Gardiner
and weighed two pounds each for
two of them and 1-2 for the other.
Captain Russell Purnette reported
some pretty good luck by Henry
Whitman with Fred Perkins as guide.
They brought in two beauties which
tipped tine scales at IL pounds.

Decision on Office
Justice of Peace
and Game Warden

Hon. William II. Fisher OF Au-
gusta, deputy attorney general. in an
opinion rendered Monday declares
that the offices of justice of the peace
and game warden may legally be held
by the same person at the same time.
The opinion was rendered at the re-
quest of Miss Myrtle H. Hodgdon,
chief clerk of the department of in
land fisheries and game.
"You are advised that In my opin-
ion the two Offices named are not in
compatible and there is no legal OBJ
lection to both being held by the
same person." says Deputy Attor-
ney General Fisher in his opinion.
1T is true that our courts have
held that there was incompatibility
between the Offices of justice of the
peace and constable and between
justice of the peace and coroner. also
between the offices of trial justice
and deputy sheriff. and it may be
said that some of the duties OF a
game warden as to arrest. ETC., are
very similar to those Of the officers
named and that, therefore. the ques-
ton is settled by the cases men
toned.

ever. will show that those decisions

Twelve speckled beauties varying
from eight inches to a foot in length

afternoon. The fish were in a glass
tank in the window of the Brooks
