Percy ]. Clifford of Winthrop has re-
ceived an official communication

ment as chaplain of he Maine State
Prison.
Mr.. Clifford's friends believe him
to be particularly fitted for his new
position Having served four years as
an enforcement officer in Maine I'M
der the Sturgis Commission, he
knows something of law and law
breakers from a point of view which
he might never have obtained in his
profession as minister of the gos-
pei.
Added to this. Mr.. Clifford is a
man of broad sympathies. and of "A
cheerful and optimistic temperament,
which easily wins friends for him.
He is a native of Brewer: was
educated in the public schools, and
graduated from the High School at
Belfast. He is also a graduate of
Bangor Theological Seminary, and

years. He has held various pastor

The Covered WAGON

"The pioneer days are gone, with
their roughness and their hardships,
but the need for pioneer virtues re-
mains the same as ever."-Theodore
Roosevelt.
The striking story of the builders
of our western empire in 1S4S, which
is being told through the screening
of THE Covered Wagon" at the
Haines Theatre March 10 and II, is
fulfillment of the terse demand made
by the late Theodore Roosevelt. Here
is a story of adventure unreeling in
the great outdoor world. Here is the
essence of the soul which inspires
the organization of the Modern Min
ute Men. Here is picture for father
and mother and daughter to see to-
gether and be proud of the race
from which theys spring.
Emerson Hough, the author of the
original story that inspired this screen
masterpiece spent his early life
in the plains and in the great noun
tain camps of the west and when in
his mature years he gave this story
to American literature, he revived a
tradition. 1t is a striking story in
Americanism to know that this typi-
Cally Western story Is running for
over a year in New York City. which
is a record one, is also running in
London and Paris. Seat sale for

Regular Weekly Luncheon
Waterville Rotary Club

The regular weekly luncheon of
the Waterville Rotary club was held
in the Elmwood hotel yesterday
noon. After the dinner several songs
were sung and fine address was
given by Rev. DR.. Roderick Mooney
of Auburn, DIR. Mooney spoke on the
surrounding strong conditions of aft
fairs today for lack of understanding
on one another and OF the serious
misrepresentation and system of
snap Judgment that seems to be
prevalent among men.
THE very best words and actions
of men are misunderstood" declared
Rev. Mooney. Religion of today
prompts us to realize that every
human being is Gods representative
and is entitled to all the courtesies
of such an honored position. This
brings me to the consideration of
fellowship
What is fellowship? 1t is the
ripened fruitage of genuinely
Christian life and the man practic-
ing this fellowship Is the one who
will not simply visualize the teach
ings of God but will interpret them
into. his relations with his fellow
beings.
with this relation to one another
when the attitude of men is such
that they can realize that each
stands in life for a concrete express
sion of fellowship. 1t would be easier
for all to live together"

FavOrs Storage Dam

as it passes ovef the land, belongs
to the owner of the land. not to the
State, in the same way that the land
itself belongs to the owner.
Third, as much of this discussion
arises from the fact that the last
legislature considered q bill to pro-
vide for a storage basin on the Dead
River, which is a branch of the Ken
nebec, your committee, would say
that the six leading companies own
ing water power on the Kennebec
between Augusta and Bingham,
namely the Edwards at Augusta, the
Lockwood at Waterville. the Hol-
lingsworth d Whitney at Winslow,
the Central Maine at Skowhegan. the
Great Northern at Madison and the
International at Scion, all being
short of water during the dry sea-
son, agreed TO Join in building a dam
on the Dead River about 20 miles
above the point where it empties
into the kennebeC. and create Il
storage basin of about 90 square
miles to hold back the freshet water
and supply the mills in dry season.
This plan has been worked out on
the Androscoggin by the Agiscohos
Dam and on the Penobscot by the
Rippogenus Dam. The location of
this dam as proposed was TO be on
4 so-called public lot which is held
in trust by the State. for the town
should it ever become incorporated
as such.
This bill or charter was referred
to committee of 20 men in the leg
islature. There was no opposition
to the bill at the public hearing and
the committee unanimousl voted
that 1t ought to pass. Both branches
passed the bill aud after II was We
toed by the governor: they passed It
oyer his veto, but later recalled the
bill and killed it. The only question
that can arise in this matter is.
should these concerns have been Civ
en- right to build such a dam or
not? The legislature said YES" the
governor said NO" and the COVER
nor had his way. We believe that
these concerns should have been
given the right 20 build this storage
dam. thus developing the various in
dustries along the Kennebec."

Mrs, Ella Nelson

The many friends in Winslow,
China and other surrounding towns
were greatly shocked and saddened
to learn of the death of Mrs. Ella
Nelson which occurred at one
o'clock yesterday afternoon at the
home of the Guptill brothers in East
Winslow, at which place she had
been housekeeper for some time
past. The deceased was seventy-two
years of age.
Mrs. Nelson had been suffering
from severe cold for some time,
and was a great sufferer from asth-
matte trouble. Her condition had i'm
proved seemingly, until Monday
morning. She joined the family at
breakfast, but could not take food
herself. and her heart action became
very weak, necessitating the sum-
moning of physician who admin
istered heart Stimulant but to no
avail. She sank into what seemed
to be a troubled sleep, and did not
awaken. RAISING away quietly while
sitting in a morris chair.
She is survived by one brother,
James Fish of China. and several
nieces and nephews who reside in
this locality. Mrs. Nelson was n great
worker in the Baptist church OF
East Winslow. and was kind and
faithful friend, not only to the
young men for whom she acted as
housckeepcr. but to everyone with
whom she had dealings. She will be
sadly missed by a host of friends,
who will recognize the loss of a
faithful. loving and true woman.
Funeral services will be conducted
from the Baptist church in China,
Wednesday afternoon at two O'Clock.
Tnterment will he in the cemetery
at China. where DIR. Nelson, husband
of the deceased lies at rest.

from a tour of New England where
he visited the State prisons at Con-
cord. \. H. Windsor. VT, and Char
lesion, Mass. besides spending some
days at Thomaston. He thinks the
new prison at Thomaston will be the
best in New England. He considers
that fine work is being done among
the convicts. that the prison officials
unite in working for the uplift of the
men under their care. and that these
men may in many cases, because of
these uplifting and humanitarian
methods. become once more useful
Jaw abiding citizens.
He looks upon his appointment as
very broad opportunity for help
fnreSs. and is looking forward with
eagerness to April LIST. when his Of
fetal duties commence.
The best wishes of the community
attend him and his family and all
sincerely hope that his lGtors may
be crowned with success.
