p. u. Commission
to Carry on Work of
Water Power Comm.


Governor Baxter gave out the fol-
loving statement in connection with
the water power work that the State
is doing:
THE Maine Water Power Commits
sion has ceased to exist, but it's work
and it's records already have been
placed in charge of the Public Utili-
ties Commission. There will be no
interruption in any of the work that
formerly was done by the Water
Power Commission and its hydro
graphic and topographic work will
be carried on as heretofore. The
measurements of the stream flow of
our rivers is to be under the charge
of Engineer William M. Black of
the Utilities Commission and the
map work that has been carried on
for some years by the State. in
cooperation with the Federal Gov
eminent, will be continued without
interruption. The maps now being
made are to be completed and new
sections of the State will then by
surveyed.
1.-The Public Utilities Commission
is thoroughly competent to handle
all the matters that were formerly
under the jurisdiction of the Water
Power Commission, for it's well-train-
ed and well-organized force of en-
gineers and accountants are familiar
with the work. For several years
previous to 1919 the Public Utilities
Commission had charge of the hy-
geographic and topographic work
and consequently that Commission
understands what is needed. The
interests of the State will not suf-
fer by reason of the change that has
taken place. which merely means
that one Commission will do the
work formerly done by two commits
sions with a considerable reduction
in personnel"

Be- Careful What You Wash Your Hair viii

If YOU want to keep your hair IN
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much free aikaii.
This dries the scalp, makes the nai !,
brittle. and is very harmful.
Mulsifed cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and entirely grease
iess). is much better than anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this cannot possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. Two or three
s.a.poonfuls will make an abundance
OF rich, creamy lather, and cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
ard excess oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly; and it leaves it fine and

Chautauuua


The first entertainments in the 9Th
annual Community Chautauqua were
well attended and very pleasing.
opening on Friday night the first en-
tertalnment was a concert by the
Rainbow Sextette. bevy of most at
tractlve young women, who gave a
delightful concert. The personel
includes pianist. violinist, clarinet
list. two vocal soloists and a reader.
and the program was most pleasingly
selected for a mixed audience, pleas
ing old and young. Songs, dances,
vocal and instrumental solos and
duets. with some exceptionally dainty
costuming, combined to make up a
rainbow not only of color but Of mu-
sic and the applause throughout the
evening plainly showed the impress
sion these young artists were making.
The reader was unusually clever and
her selections in a light vein caused
many a hearty laugh. while the song
hits from current light operas and
other stage, successes were high
lights Of the program. An imitation
Of the famous Gallagher and Shean,
was cleverly done, while Crinoline
Days. You Remind Me of My
Mother. some colorful Japanese
songs, and other solos in special cos
tunes were very pleasing. The act
closed with a colored light effect,
much like rainbow, a unique finale.
Mr.. Orr, the director introduced
President Whiteside, who CHANGED to
be in town, and also made the an
nouncements for the week. He in
troduced also the play leader to talk
to the children, who are planning a
picnic and also pageant next week,

Saturday afternoon. following a
concert by McGrath Bros, banjoists,
a lecture was given by DIR. Roland A.

his audience. In the evening the

York success. His Honor, Abe
