DISCOUNT TICK ETS.
DirigO Theatre Aids Merchants in
Advertising Plan.

advertising idh'
Community advertising and COM
munity endeayor are growing strong
er each day in the smaller towns OF
Maine, as we'll as in the West. Re
Gently a small town in Massachusetts,
staged "A Community Day" A
special edition of the local paper APP
peared, in which special advertise
ments of merchants appeared. Each
merchant offered special discounts,
prizes or souvenirs. The gasoline
filling stations presented each buyer
of five gallons of gas or more with
small matchbox and holder to at
tach to cowl board of cars, while the
drug store gave balloons to all kid
dies whose parents made purchase
in the store The day brought an
immediate response, and the mer-
chants voted to hold it regularly
once every two months.
Ellsworth is not behind in get
ting in line with a new proposition
showing worth, and of benefit to the
buying community. For the next
few weeks, every attendant at the
Dirigo theatre will receive, with ad-
mission ticket, a card bearing the
name of an Ellsworth merchant.
This ticket when presented at the
store of the merchant, is good for
a stated discount off the purchase
price. Cash must be paid, and sale
must amount to 81 or over. The
merchant detaches the stub of the
ticket, writes the name of the pur-
chaser upon it and retains it, re-
turning the other portion of the
ticket, which contains the merchant s
name, to the customer Each mer-
chant agrees to give prize, which
goes to the person presenting the
most used merchants BUSINESS cards
at the close of the contest. The
merchant checks up from the stubs
in his possession.
The theatre benefits by increased
attendance, for these discount tick
cts are in great demand, and the
merchant gets new customers.

The Maine Federation of Women $
Clubs, by the close vote of 33 to 80,
went on record as opposed to the pro-
posed child labor amendment that
would make the provisions of the
child labor law in Maine apply up to
the age of eighteen Years. Those
opposing the amendment argued that
as the laws of Maine do not provide
for compulsory education after the
age of fourteen years, children whose
parents elected not to send them to
high school would be thrown upon
the street. Those favoring the
amendment pointed to the "horrible
example" of the South. where child
labor has increased many fold since
the Federal child labor law has been
declared unconstitutional. We be-
lieve the South does not furnish a
fair comparison, The laws of Maine

of sixteen years. while most of the
Southern states have no child labor

A verdict of MOI guilty, ordered by
the presiding justice, was returned
in the case of the eight officials OF
ward +, Portland, indicted on
charges of conspiracy and fraud in
connection with the june primaries.
The veNict. while legally acquitting
the men of the charge, does not
mean that no crime had been COM
mitted. The Judge clearly in
timated, in ordering the verdict of
not guilty, that the evidence indi-
Gated that fraud had been commit
ted, but was not sufficient to fix the
crime on any one or more of the
men. If all were convicted on the
theory that some were guilty, some
innocent men would suffer. On top
of this verdict by the court, the
Portland city council Monday night
voted to request the designations of
the eight ward officials.

Mr. Carter is distinguished Egypt
ologist, who has practically lived in
the Valley of the Kings since 1890,
where he went in search of health,
and not only found 1t, but also discov-
cred the long sought tomb of King
Tut-2nkh-Amen with it's priceless
treasures. He also learned through
these discoveries that the Egyptians
OF $500 years ago were not very diff
ferent from modern men in their
pleasures and sports.
All over the country there is the
greatest interest in Mr.. Carter's
American visit.
He is bringing with him motion
pictures and numerous colored photo
graphs illustrating every phase of
the work, from the first explorations
to the most recent discoveries. This
is the first time these marvellous films
have ever been shown to the public.
AS the only pictorial record of these
events they are of priceless value.
Every step in the work, every room
and all it's contents were photo
graphed, so that Mr.. Carters audi
ences will see them just as they were
left by the Egyptians more than three
thousand years ago.
