Immigration is considered as one
OF our eountry'S main problems For
many years, people have been COM
ing here from al nations so much
that It Is often referred 10 as the
Melting Pot
Ellis Island is over crowded. There
are 20 many emmigraats 70 be ex-
sualned that il is sometime week
before many OF them can be cared
for Then sometimes after selling
everything and spending the money
for transporations, the Immigrant is
rejected at our gates and sent home
10 nothing, with nothing TO start
with again If all immigration
were stopped for five years, il would
free the large corps Of doctors,
nurses and other workers at Ellis
Island and they could work 81 the
AmericaniZaTiou and education of
those already here, and these in turn
could help AmericaniEe the others
who will come al the opening of our
doors
The large cities are becoming
largely foreign. The people not be-
ing able 10 afford none but the
cheapest places TO live, are crowded
into the dirty, dangerous and I'M

Probably the japanese are the

Many Attend Lecture
at Congregational
Church Tuesday Eve.

A large number of people attend
ed the lecture The Fool"
last evening at the Congregational
church given by Benjamin Franklin
Allen. The story of the play was
laid in New York city, and opens
patroniZed by the wealthy class. At
the beginning of the story several of
the church members are seen prepar-
ing the church for Christmas. A
beautiful tree is decorated with
costly draperies and gifts and at the
top is an limitation of the star of
Bethlehem, which is in reality made
of valuable Partisan diamonds i'm
ported from France.
Daniel, the young assistant rector
of the church, who is engaged to ore
of society's popular young ladies, is
being criticized by the churchgoers
for some of his rigid beliefs, which
he breaches. AS he refuses to change
his attitude he is expelled from the
church and the girl that he loves
decides to marry the son of a veal
thy merchant. This young man is a
leader among his fast set and fol-
lower of the primrose path. The I'M
happy married life OF the girl who
throws aside Daniel for the more
worldly pleasures grows more and
more unbearafle.
Daniel is next called to settle n
strike in some of the mines in West
Virginia. a group of the strikers
come to Daniels home later and in
an argument he is stricken uncon-
cious by them. Then rev person.
age appears in the story, Mary Ellen.
q young crippled girl who believes in
God and in His teachings through
her association with Daniel. In the
mob scene she secs Daniel fall to the
floor and forgetting her lameness,
she forgetS Tie ciutches that she al
ways used and walks unaided to the
side of her hero. This incident. a
miracle. bears nightly i'll swarying
the attitude of the rough miners to-
ward Daniels teachings and they
fall down and pray for forgiveness.
AS the story nears the end. several
scenes are shown comparing Daniel.
the poor man, who believed that it
mattered not if the whole world was
lost and his soul saved. with Christ,
the Savior of mankind. The girl
whom Daniel thou2ht he loved at
the opening Of the story, came to him
with her appeal but he only declared
that each must follow his own path
in life. He had chosen tc narrow
! path.
Mary Ellen. the beautiful little
girl who was healed from her sucer-
| in%s by her faith. is shown at the
! close standing with D2niel. WHO has
| found that his reward for sacrifice
is greater, than he expected. and the
curtain drops leaving the two alone.

STRONG MARCH WINDS
SURE SIGN OF SPRING

With the fading away of winter
scenery, there comes many new
signs of spring each day. One of
them, particularly noticible yester-
day was the strong March wind
which made the walking in the open
very disagreeable. Maine street SEEM
ed to make tunnel for the air cur
rents. for the moment one turned
from a side street around one of the
Main street corners he was greeted
by a blast of damp cool air. Chapped
lips and faces follow the path of the
March breezes and doctors say that
care should be taken at this point
of the season to avoid colds as much
as possible.
Another spring sign which has
been noticed by many is the condl-
ton of the Kernebec river. From
this city to q point over seven miles
down the river the ice is almost
completely covered with water,
where the snow is swiftly melting
and leaving the water on the ice.
Each day this body of water is
creeping southwark and all the time
the ice is wearing away preparing
to break next month. The crossing at
the Vassalboro ferry which has Deen
! used so much during the last three
weeks by farmers who nave TO maui
their hay across from Sidney to the
; station, has now reached the point
! where it is extremely dangerous for
! the heavy load. One man sounded
the ice on the West Side of the bank
where the current runs, and found
/ that only eight inches of ice re-
/ mains. With the water gradually
warming up and the snow melting
on top, it makes traffic on the ice
rather precarious. The ice VIII pro

which is new to most people in Wat

mentatiOn to really bring out its
beauties Played by the usual small

This number is descriptive of events

running all through 1T Is heard the
stra ms of the Marseillaise. echoed
and reechocd by the different voices
of the orchestra. Starting with II
pianissimo movement 1t gradually
works up cresCcndo to a magnificent
climax which thrills to the core and
almost brings one to ones feet. so
dramatic is the treatment OF the
theme.
Another beautiful number and one
which will especially interest the
student of the piano Is Rachmani-
noffs prelude in G Minor Rarely
has the lover of music been privil-
eyed to hear this rendered by
large orchestra and undoubtedly this
will be looked forward to with the
greatest of anticipation. The posi-
bilitios OF this composition when
played by 25 selected performers can
be readily appreciated.
The personnel of the orchestra
which will be under the direction of
Walter J. Hood. will consist Of four
first yiolins, two second violins, two
violas, two cellos. three string bas-
SEES, flute. oboe. basSon. two clarion
cts, two French horns. two trumpets,
trombone. and tympani. The conf
plete selection of strings with the
augmented bass. as well as the IN
clusion of the oboe and basson. In
struments little heard in the ordi-
nary orchestra, insure the perfect
. performance.

Sault ard battery on John L. Stanley,
G5 years old, Of Belgrade.

Need of Chamber
Commerce Auditorium
Discussed at Meet

Watervillo has a vision and the
Chamber of Commerce is striving to
bring this vision to reality by a
movement to build an auditorium
which will seat 1000 or 5000 people
and serve to make Watcrville a CEN
ter for the great gatherings or con-
vention1 (which might be brought to
Maine and incidentally to Watcrville
ii, means for their entertainment
could be provided. This question
was thoroughly discussed at meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce
directors yesterday afternoon and
the unanimous opinion of those
present was to the effect that the
time has arrived when this matter
should be seriously considered and
q beginning made by study of
methods of financing and plans of
construction of such buildings as
have been made in other localities
of about the same size of Water
Vile.
The need of a convention hall in
Waterville has been apparent for
a number of years. The city has
been unable to entertain large con-
and the directors of the Chamber
of Commerce. together with several
other forward looking business men.
realize that with the unusual growth
and development of the city a con-
vention hall would be a big asset
and would bring to the city affairs o.
a nature that would be of great i'm
portance in the development of the
industrial and educational growth
of Watervile.
1t is known that q movement is
on foot to build hotel in Water
vile, plans for financing the same
being now under consideration. With
additional hotel facilities it is pla-E-
ly seen that some action tending
toward bringing more people into
the city would be good business from
any point of view. The hotel would
complement the auditorium and the
auditorium would be natural COM
plement to hotel business. If both
should be built at about the same
time, there would be no reason why
Waterville should not make great
strides toward being the most i'm
portant city in the State of Maine.
The Chamber feels confident that
some means of financing the build
ing will be found before long.
March % has been named as the
date for the next membership meet
ing and n committee consisting of
Messrs. Whitcomb. Gilmore. Knauff
and Foster was appointed to make
arrangements for the same.

WoMAN's SECRET CHARM

In perfect health lies the secret Of
woman's charm which makes her
radiate cheer and happiness wherever

every feature. The most effective
remedy for womans ailments ever
discovered has proved to be Lydia

Women are soon restored to health
by it's use and acquire the charm that
health alone can give.
