METHODS
OF C, N, P. co. MEET
FLOOD CONDITIONS

It may have occurred to some of
the many users Of electric light dur
ing the stress of the flood conditions
that some people were very much on
their job.
With regard to what was accom-
plished by the Central Maine Pow
err Co. the following letter and in
terview will be found both inter-
esting and gratifying:
May Sd, 1923.
w. S. Wyman, General Manager,
Central Maine Power Co.,
Augusta, Maine.
Dear Mr.. Wyman:
SO far as l know, the service of the
Central Maine Power Company,
which in the case Of our larger pow
err customers was interrupted by the
floods during the first three days Of
this week, has now been entirely re-
stored. A number of the customers
mills were damaged by water to such
an extent that they will probably not
be able to start until next week but
power is now available for every Gus
toner that can use it.
The flood on the Kennebec and
Sebasticook rivers was higher than
any since 1911. During the whole
period the company furnished un-
limited service to its lighting and
small power customers. Our prop
erty came through with practically
no damage. Had the additions to
the company's plant, which are be-
ing made this year been completed,
| the company's entire service could
have been furnished without inter-
ruption.
! Much credit is due to the superin-
tendents and employees Of the COM
| pany who worked almost continuous
| ly during the three days to maintain
! the service and take such steps as
| We're necessary to protect the COM
| pany's property. l believe that we
are to be congratulated on having
| 50 efficient and loyal set of men.
The courtesy of the Cumberland
County Power and Light Company,
which carried our Freeport and Var
mouth service from it's new steam
! plant located in Portland Harbor was
| greatly appreciated. 1t helped to
| keep things going and emphasized
! the Importance of inter connection
between the different electric COM
; panies in the State.
Yours very truly,
GEORGE S. WILLIAMS,
| General Superintendent.
| ne COHtGillS VI tllc dDONc IcpOII
| furnished by Mr.. Williams at the end
of such period as the past four days
| is exceedingly satisfactory and graf
flying to the company and it's OFF,
GERS" said Mr.. Wyman, who granted
the Journal an interview on the con-
! ditions following the flood.
The central and eastern portions
of Maine have been visited with one
of the worst freshets in the history
of the state. So far as l can make
out from records of the kennebec
river there have been only four
times during the past one hundred
years when the water has been as
high as during the past week. Much
damage has been done and proper
ty loss sustained which the State as
q whole can i'll afford.
THE Central Maine Power Com
] pany, thanks to the soundness of its
engineers judgment and the unre-
hitting efforts of it's employees, has
| suffered scarcely at all. Its dams,
power houses and other structures
are intact and it is furnishing SER
| vice as usual

iowa kIWAN|AN TELLS AUGUSTA CLUB
OF CIVIC improve MENTS SPONSORED
BY KIWAN|S IN WESTERN STATES

Many helpful suggestions were
received. at the meeting of the Au-
gusta Kiwanis Club Thursday night.
at the Augusta House, when Fred
Mcintosh, a Kiwanian of Cedar
Rapids. Iowa, told the boys what
had been accomplished by the clubs
in that section.
He stated in his opening remarks
that Kiwanis stood for building the
community and that it felt that it
should always take the lead in all
civic improvements and especially
those having to do with children.
He spoke of the Toronto meeting at
which they were told to do all that
was possible to help the under
developed child. In his own dis
trict he stated that he belonged to
an organization which was helping
in this work and that il it had not
been for the kiwanis Club they
would have had to give up the work
as the legislature of the state would
not help them as they should have
done.
The clubs there have an inter
city meeting every three weeks at
which they talk over these matters
and as practically every kiwanis
Club came from a town having a
college, they got together when the
legislature would not make the nee
essary educational appropriations
and went to the Capitol in a body,
to support such measures.
Other things that the city has
done include the providing Of a ST.
600 swimming pool for the children
placing of an American flag on a
pole in front of every school, bet
tering conditions at the day nursery
for the children and many other
civic accomplishments.
In his recommendation to the Au-
gusta club. he advised that they
meet weekly at noon. that every
month thew have a meeting at

FRECKLE=FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots
How to Remove Easily

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle- face,
to try remedy for freckles with the
! guarantee of reliable concern that
rit will not cost you penny unless it
removes the freckles: while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifling
Simply get an ounce of Othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beauti-
full complexion: Rarely is more than
: one ounce needed for the worst case.
BE sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this
strength is sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
frecklcs.-Adv.

that once in two or three months

Another feature of the evening
was the new stunt that was pulled
when the game that set New York

duced. This game resembles a

some stunts that the one receiving
