WHATEVER may have been the failngs of Central
w Maine Power Company, lack of vision of the future
of electricity has been one of them.
The Company was started as protest against lack
of vson-as protest against the belief that there
future for electricity.
When years ago, electrical expert investigated Wa
teve and reported that the city saturatedwt cleo
tricy and could buy the Company replied Bosh
and lived to the demand there double and double
again.
OUR JOB-SO WE DID 1T
When, in war times demand existed for and
electric energy, Central Maine Power Company built
plant. People said it time to build power plant
our job was to supply it, did the job
said, "The boom will end-if you develop more power
you'll have it left your hands,"
We did develop power-we built the Skowhegan
staton-and the boom ended-and instead of less demand
for power the mounting demand sOpp every bit that
SkOwhegan could develop and cried for more.
Within the past twelve months have rebuilt plant
at Watervle, have added another unit at Skowhegan
What vast of money it takes to provide for the
growing electrical needs of the territory hard for the
public to realize.
THIS MUST BE DONE
In the next twelve MONTHS just to stay ahead of the
mounting demand for power, the Company must build
power station at Unon Maine, to supply Knox County.
1t must put unit in its power plant at Deer Rips
must put steam turbine in its Lewiston station,
unit in its Norway station, must rebuild the Cascade
plant at Oakland.
To pay for these power developments for new build
ings, for line and switching equipment for rural line
extensions and to for the transformers and equipment

necessary to hook up customers, will require within
the next twelve months the expenditure of close to
million dollars.
Few people have the fantest idea of the vast amount
of sound solid property that is each year being built by
Central Maine Power Company-not primarily for the pur
pose of making but rather for the purpose
of doing job
MORE PROPERTY MORE EARNINGS
This property goes to work at once bringing in
earnings-for the people of Maine like people the world
over-are willing to fair price for good service.
The year the Company started it earned less than $4,000
(gross).
In 1910 the earnings passed 100000.

FILM "YEARLING" WINS
QUICK FAME AT IS

Here is pretty film "yealling
who has made good in short order.
On the screen less than two years,
she is q fayorite today wherever mo-
ton pictures are shown.
Nobody, it seems, can resist Pat
with her impish humor and infec-
tious smile.
She was Ruth Miller in Camille, +"
but as there is another Ruth Miller
in the movies, she changed her name,
taking her two first names, Patricia
Ruth, and converted them into Patsy
Ruth. She is at the superlative age
of eighteen, longs for sensations
which will give he thrill-and gets
out of every thing she does on the
screen-and thinks she is very cyni-
cal.
Patsy Ruth Miller has just finished
Little Shireen in "Omar, the Tent
maker" the cololful and dramatic
First National picture produced by
Richard Watson TuIly with Guy Bates
Post in the title role. The part morks
Patsy's first Characterization in other
than American types, and it is said
to be her best.
Previous to this little Miss Miller
had appeared with Tom Mix in two
Of his westerns" Then she had
delighted in some frothy comedy dra-
mas and won laurels with Cullen Ian
dis in Watch Your Step"
The story runs that little Miss Mil
Ter is allowed to go out on Saturday
evening only with boys her father
approves Of. Her hair is generally
frankly tousled, she likes to sprawl
around, and is never prim and pre-
else and starehy. Her favorite color
is brown; Nazimova is her favorite.
Patsy is al girl; vivacious, impulsive,
sauey mink longing for thrills, an
ardent sportswoman, equally good at
tennis, horseback riding or driving

was found in his room on Wednesday
afternoon, March 81, 1928, lying on
the floor half dressed. The deceased

son, the barber, and when the latter
recalled that he had not been seen for
several days Mr.. Johnson went to his
home on West Oak avenue, West of
Park venue to investigate. The door
being locked and the curtains drawn
the neighbors thought he had gone
away for a few days. Mr.. Johnson
looked up Chief of Police, Oakford

found the body. The deceased was
last seen on Monday of this week, so
the body must have lain there a couple
of days. Undertaken Ingersoll took
