STATE PARK WORK
REVIEWED BY BAXTER

"The work upon the State Park IN
front of the Capitol Is about complet-
ed and a great Improvement has re-
suited there" said Governor Baxter
tuesday. "Beginning last year ana
continuing through this season the
Park IN. been graded. sowed to grass
and placed In excellent condition.
"I,nder drains have been put IN
tho maths graveled and road has
becn built on the lower end so that
nersons may drive around the Park
and view the State House from the
location OF Governor Lincoln's TOMB.
Very few people realize the large
area that is comprised within Its
boundaries.
This land has been much neglect
ed up to the time work was begun
under direction of the Park Commits :
sion and myself. 1t was mass or
weeds and tangled growth. whereas
now 1t Is as smooth as floor ana
carpeted with grass. The work has
cost several thousand dollars but !
WAS able to provide the funds FOR II
and the superintendent OF public
buildings. Mr.. Charles s. Brown. has
had charge OF the work. there being
associated with him Hon. Lewis A.
Burleigh and Charles f. Downing.
Esq, park commissioners.
There Is but little more to be
done on the slopes extending from
Governor Lincoln's tomb down to the
river. This will be completed next
year.
II am sure there is no state Capt.
toll in the country that has as beauti-
<ul a location as ours at Augusta.
With the hill of Ganeston Park In
the rear. the beautiful lawns around
the State House and the Blaine
House. and the State Park extending
to the bank Of the river, Maine has
n location for its Capitol that is
unique and unusual. 1t Is typical Of
our State and l always am proud to
have visitors from other states come
and see it

The smashing action Of "The Mail

moistening appeal Of 1.-The Third

which has been appropriately
named "The Spirit Of the U. S. A."
Mary Carr and Johnnie Walker are
featured. The Picture opens a
limited engagement of two days at

THE Spirit of the L. S. A." Is a
human story in which all the ire
mendous drama of the World Con-
fiict is present. In order to get the
right atmosphere for the picture. Di-
rector Johnson and his entire cast
spent many weeks in the vicinity of
the Preside. San Francisco, and in
filming huge action scenes in a par
tcularly appropriate location near
Hollywood where the terrain was
such as to faithfully reproduce actual
battle conditions. Not n stone was
lett unturned by the company in their
desire to get veriSimilitude, and some
or them were turned so far and so

In addition to the battle scenes.
which are said to be tremendously
realistic and of even bigger spectac-
ular value than anything which was
staged in any Of the other four john
son successes, the story, written by
the directors mother. is a powerful
and touching appeal for universal
peace. Mary Carr takes the role of
a Gold Star Mother, and Johnnie
Walker as her younger son who re-
turns to America as an internation,,
nero after having been originally 70
lected when he tried to enlist in the
army because Of poor eyesight,
