CELEBRATION AT

There'll be plenty of life at Island
Park on the Fourth of July. Man.
ager Art Spaulding has seen to that.
Every minute of the afternoon and
evening will be damned full of fun
and interest and not the least of
these features will be the big girls
swimming race. Entries for this
event are being made daily to Art
Spaulding and some of the best ma
tatorial performers in this section
will be ready when the word Ego" is
given for the plunge into the blue
waters Of Cobbossee. Jack Conroy
will have charge of this event.
But this will be but one Of the
many good things offered. Conroy
and his sister will be seen in some
high and fancy diving stunts that
will prove real breath takers. There
will be three other serial acts from
Boston that will offer entertain
ment to please the most exacting. AS
If this was not enough, there will be
n band concert in the afternoon and
in the evening a display of fireworks
will be set off that promises to be
the biggest and best ever seen at the
Island, and that, of course, is saying
q great deal.
Engagements for dinner at the Inn
are already being made and hundreds
of others are planning to go to the
Island with their lunches prepared
to spend the day and evening. There
will be dancing both afternoon and
night. too. With the great amount

Gov. Baxter Names
New Directors to
State Pier Board

newspaper reporter called on the
Governor and showed him the state
ment from one of the daily papers
saying that the Governor would not
appoint Messrs. James G. Gulnac and
A. T. Loughlin to succeed themselves
in July, 1928 as Directors of the
Portland Pier. Governor Baxter
said:
Il realize that all the present Dir
ectors Of the Portland Pier have talk
en- an active interest in their work
and 1 appreciate the service they
have rendered. The Pier. however,
is State institution and in so far
as possible all sections of the State
should be represented on its board
of Directors.
AT present in my opinion the city
of Portland has larger representa-
ton of Directors than in fairness
to the other sections of the State it
is entitled to have. The Chairman of
the Board. Mr.. Henry +. Merrill,
lives in Portland, as also does Mr..
Laughlin. Mr.. Gunlac to all intents
and purposes is now a resident of
Portland as he is the active Manager
of the State Chamber of Commerce
with headquarters there. This vir-
tually gives Portland three members
out of five. The fourth member is
Mr.. Bertrand G. McIntire of Nor
way, who lives only d short distance
from Portland. The fifth member,

Bangor Man Seeks
to Compel Return
of Drivers License

III. A. Shorey, Jr., and Merton L.
Wheeler of the auto law enforcement
division Of the State Highway Com
mission were in Bangor Friday,
where they We're in attendance upon
hearing before Judge Charles J.
Dunn. brought by petition of Asa Il.
Grant of Bangor, through his attor-
ney, George +. Thompson, who
sought to compel the State Highway
Commission to return to said Grant
his license to operate motor vehicles
on the highways of this State.
Grants license was suspended, pend
ing an appeal from judgment of
guilty imposed by Judge Butterfield
of the Bangor municipal court on the
charge of operating motor vehicle
while under the influence Of intoxi-
eating liquor.
This hearing was of especial inter-
est for the reason that it was prac-
tically the first petition brought un-
der the provision of Section 80 of
Chapter 211 of the Public Laws of
1921. This section stipulates that if
any person is aggrieved by the deci-
sion of the State Highway Commits
sion in suspending or revoking
license appeal may be taken to any
justice of the supreme court. The
highway commission asked for the
dismissal of the petition on the
ground that the action was not ap-
plicable to the case in question. 1t
was argued that the commission had
rendered no decision, but on the 9TH
or hand in suspending Grants license
acted under the provision of man
datory statute. Section 70 of the same
chapter, which provides that if any
person appeals from the judgment Of
the trial court his license shall be
suspended during the pending of such
appeal, unless the trial court other
wise orders. and further provides
that the commission after a hearing
may restore the license pending the
decision on appeal.
The commission took the ground
that the section under which the pc
tition was brought had reference only
to cases where the commission had
suspended or revoked licenses follow
ing hearing before the members of
said board. and did not apply to cases
where licenses We're automatically
revoked or suspended following court
action. Justice Dunn reserved his
decision.

Flowers in Sahara
Engineers Dream

London. June IA ca. P. by MaiD-
Continental engineers think large
tracks of the Sahara Desert may be
made fertile by artesian borings
similar to those employed in the arid
parts of Australia.
Pointing out that the sinking of
wells had made Australia one of the
greatest pasture countries in the
world, CASTOR Imbeaux, chief en-
gineer of the public works depart
ment of the French government. saws
similar methods would cause a num-
per of fertile GASES to spring up in
the Sahara, providing pasture for
sheep.
M. Imbeaux says large reserves of
water undoubtedly exist under the
great sand wastes of Africa, and that
If the French authorities Would I'M
dertake to sink shafts to these sub
terranean wells. the future success of
the projected trans-Saharan railway
would be assured. as the line would
be furnished with the necessary
water at regular intervals.

Circus Day on the Way

A. few days now and there will
roll out of the dawn, the great
trucking wagons of the Sparks Cir
Gus, in Augusta for one days stay,
Wednesday, July II. From nowhere
it will appear to come. the great
tents will go magically into the air
it will seem that the great mush-
room growth lust happened but
1t didn't.
For months the men have been
working that the Sparks Circus
might come to Augusta. And Wnen
It arrives, it will mean that the eff
forts of more than a hundred men,
who have gone before 1t have been
successful.
The first man to start in the ad-
vance of a circus is the first con-
tracing agent. His task Is to pre-
pare the way for the coming OF oth-
ers. Then there starts, three weeks
before the, circus, the No. Advertis-
ing Car, carrying twenty-five bill
posters, photographers. banner tack,
crs and others. A few days and
there comes the first press agent
Then comes the second contracting
agent. Then the No. 2 car with
twenty-five more men. Another
wait and still another press agent
Then a week before the show comes
the third car with more men. AND
should this be not enough, there Is
brigade of eight men who are sup
posed to work as hard and do as
much as the sixty or seventy men
on the three cars.
But the list isn't complete yet
There arrive the programmes VINO
pass out small billing and the her-
aids. And then, just to see thai
everything has been done rlght
there arrive the checkers up" who
go over the work done by everyone
and see that it has been done cor
rcctly. And even then, the work Is
not ended.
For there yet must come the
twenty -four hour men who notify
every person seen by the contract
ing agents, just when the circus Is
to arrive and when the supplies
must be on. the lot. And so, when
the Sparks Circus comes here, there
will be nothing Of the happen So
about its arrival. For a hundred
men have gone before it-and never
a detail is neglected-even to the
routing of the parade and the bumps
in the road that lead from the rail-
road tracks to the lot. But the work
of a circus doesn't show on the sur
face. And it shouldn't. For II
there's anything that should show
its romantic side, it is the place OF
glaring chandeliers and sprinkled
wood shavings-the circus.
The Sparks Circus will exhibit al
