BUSINESS men SEEK KENNEbEC VALLEY
EXTENSION SERVICE, "PINE TREE LIMITED"

Boston were more or less limited,
but believed the service would have
it's advantages to business men.
r. P. Hazard, head of the R. P.
Hazard Co., Gardiner, has said in
regard to this: There are several
in the factory who have occasion
to go to Boston regularly, also a
great many representatives from the
West who call upon this factory, all
of whom would use this train al
most exclusively. Under the present
schedule it is necessary for me to
have my automobile come from Gar
diner to meet my train in Portland"
W. 7. Gardiner, speaker of the
Maine House of Representatives,
said: "The proposed extension of
train service would be a great thing
for the State of Maine. The many
guests. at Oaklands throughout New
England would be pleased with the
excellent service thus afforded"
Alderman Fred n. Boston. presi-
dent of the f. n. Boston Coal Co.,
Gardiner, said: "Of course we want
the Pine Tree Special. l am very
frequent passenger for Boston and
have a great many statesmen and
guests from the West who would
welcome such an extension, as now
we from necessity rely largely on
automobiles"
e. A. Wagner, superintendent of
the Commonwealth Shoe and Leath-
er Co., Gardiner, says: THE extern
sion of the Pine Tree Special would
be a fine thing for the people of
Maine. The representatives from our
factory in Whitman, Mass, are very
much Inconvenience by the present
schedule, usually having to stop in
Portland over night in order to get
the full Gay in Gardiner"
E. w. Ellis of the James Walker
and Son Co., Gardiner, states: "The
extension of this service would give
an added impetus to travel in the
State. Representatives of our con-
Germ are frequent business visitors
in Boston and cities west, and this
train would convenience them great
ly."
Mayor D. S. McNaughton of Gar
diner states: 1.-The Pine Tree Limit
ed would make a big improvement
over our present railroad schedule.
There are many business establish
ments in our city whose representa-
tives are required to go to the city
very often. Such a service would
mean a vast saving in valuable time
for them"
If extended to Bangor, the new
train would probably leave that city
at about or SIS in the morning,
stopping at Waterville, Augusta and
Brunswick and making connections
with the Pine Tree Limited at Port
land, which leaves there at o'clock.

Enrolment Week
Augusta Y. M. C. A.
October II to 20

The week of October 1920 has
been designated as the Y. NJ. C. A.
enrolment week throughout the New
England states and the local "Y'
will conduct it's annual enrolment
campaign at that time. This was
decided upon at the meeting of the
Board of Directors of the local in
stitution which was held Tuesday
evening.
The campaign will be conducted
along the lines of the previous cam
paigns In this city. The workers
will be divided into two armies, I'M
der their respective "Colonels" and
each army will in turn be divided
into teams under captains. This
stimulates the spirit of friendly ri
valry and makes the campaign more
interesting. The members of each
team will be given a certain number
of record cards each pertaining to
some one person residing in the
city and the team workers select
from those cards the ones which they
think they can best approach. Each
day the teams report and they are
rated upon the number of member
ships which they have secured and
the actual amount of cash which
they have turned in The entire
drive is under the supervision of a
general who has not yet been
named. The Colonies will this year
be Robert B. Williamson and Ralph
Fl. Weber.
Before the opening of the drive
further information with regard to
the makeup of the two armies will
be published and regulations will be
thoroughly discussed at the open
ing dinner in order that there may
be no infringement of territory and
the members may feel absolutely
sure of the proper way to conduct
their part of the work.

"Never the Twain Shall Meet" the
new Cosmopolitan production based
upon Peter b. Kyne's romance of
California and the South Seas is one
of the really big pictures of the
year. 1t is a story of an American
who loved and lived on the South
Sea Islands with a native girl; of
his gradual deterioration as the
tropics creeped into his blood; and of
his regeneration. The picture was
directed by Maurice Tourneur and
shows many touches of this masters
hand. The cast includes such stars
as Anita Stewart, Bert Lytell, Hunt
ley Gordon. Justine tombstone,
George Siegmann, Florence Turner
and many others. 1t is an excellent
picture for giving a theatre party as
all Of your friends will greatly enjoy
it.
The companion feature is also one
of exceptional merit entitled Par
isian Nights" and featuring Elaine
Hammerstein and Lou Tel!egen. The
New York critics are unanimous in
calling this picture a mighty melo-
drama.
