Striking a new note in thrilling
action pictures, THE Air Hawk
first of the Van Pelt productions
starring AL Wilson, comes to the
Colonial theatre today and Tues
day. Wilson, long known through
out the nation as a stunt aviator
whose intrepid exploits in the clouds
have thrilled thousands, appears for
the first time in a dramatic picture.
and he proves a revelation in acting
ability. Nothing more sensational
has ever been screened than his
fight on the wing of an airplane
circling thousands of feet above the
earth. Changing planes in mid air
is childs play for Mr.. Wilson and
the drama gives him plenty of OPP
portunity for difficult feates. Vir-
ginia Brown Fare Is cast in the
role of the leading woman. The
story carries an interest that is
only surpassed by the daring of the
leading man.
On this program with 1.-THE Air
Hawk" is "One Way\ Street, in
which Ben Lyon and Anna O. Mill
son and Marjorie Daw are featured.
The story is that of a beautiful
English society leader who finds
herself facing the tragedy of grow
ing old. The tragedy is brought
home with the added force of
jealousy when she finds the youth
whose social advancement she has
been aiding falls in love with a
young woman.

ences except an exhibition shed in
which some young stock paneling
manufactured by the James Manu-
featuring Company is used. There
is a reason for this and 1t is to prove
that the beef breed can be made to
pay in Maine by any farmer and
without large expenditure of
money.
At 1890 DIR. K. j. Seulke, man
ager of Jefferson Farms and presi-
dent of the Maine Livestock Breed
ers Association, welcomed the Wis
itors. Following this a welcome was
extended by~P. r. Park, owner of
the farms.
Charles l.. Blackman, vice presi-
dent of the association, responded
to the welcome in a short talk deal
ing with the value of such a gath
ering to promote the group spirit
and to assist in developing the vast
possibilities of the State. He then
pointed out the way Jefferson Farms
was started and being run as the
best and only way for a man to
start-in other words, keep down
the overhead expense.
Address of +. Is. Denny
f. ID. Jenny, president or the
Knox-Lincoln County Farm Bureau,
delivered very interesting and in
structive talk, during which he said
in part:
1T has been suggested by certain
authorities that farming will even
tually organize itself in such a way
as to make 1t profitable enough to
attract considerable capital and thus
eventually, to a large extent, fall
into the hands of corporations rath-
er than continue as 1t is today in
the hands of SO many small farmers.
In support of this statement there
are great many economical fea-
lures and we'll founded theories COM
bined with certain practical exam
pies which cannot be overlooked. On
the other hand there are certain fea
lures such as burdensome overhead.

Ties due to weather, crop and stock
diseases and many minor conditions

No Proof That Apple
Was forbidden Fruit

Who was it who first declared that
the fruit of the forbidden tree men,
toned in the Bible was an apple? asks
London Answers.
It Is almost needless to- say that no
where in the Scriptures does any state
ment Of this sort occur, yet the idea
that the forbidden fruit Of Eden was
an apple seems to have found counte-
nance in former days among the learn
ed Jews.
Horticulturists later on were equally
susceptible to the prevailing notion
that through the apple came the curse
and to perpetuate the error named q
specially fine variety Ewes apple"
In parts Of Palestine tree grows
producing fruit which Is supposed by
many people to be Identical with that
eaten by our first parents.
This fruit presents beautiful ap-
pearance to the eye, but 1t cOllapses
in the hand on being touched. Doubt
less the deceptive appearance Of the
fruit" has caused it to be associated
with the Bible story.
Again, in CeylOn there grows a tree
bearing the very significant name Of
kadura, meaning forbidden" This
tree produces blossoms which emit q
delicate and seductive perfume. Its
fruits are beautifully colored and
readily arrest attention, being deep
orange on the outside and bright
crimson within.
The ripe fruit, when examined, has
the appearance of having a piece bit
ten out Of it. This circumstance, to-
gether with the fact Of its being poi
sonous. led the Mohammedans, on
their first discovery Of Ceylon. to look
upon this as the forbidden fruit and
to consider themselves in the garden
Of Eden.
Thus this apparently tempting fruit
became to them an object Of the great
est veneratiOn and the peculiar inden-
tation in it was regarded as the i'm
press of Ewes bite.

out a worn purse Of excellent leather,
He opened it, fingered Its handful Of
coppers, and smiled.
He put his hand into his pocket
once more, and brought forth a cheap
watch fob. There was no watch at
tached, but on one end was little,
old-fashioned locket Of plain gold.
The man snapped 1t open, and gazed
for long time at the pictured face
1t was very pretty, very naughty
face held proudly above the beautiful
shoulders. AS he looked at 1t, all that
was evil In the mans smile faded out,
and left his face pure usefulness.
Evening came, and a cougar some
where in the hills called out with its
lonesome, shivery, lost-baby cry. Its
mate answered. The man on the log
shuddered.
At last he put his hand into his
pocket again, and drew out tiny
bottle. He sat toying with 1t for some
minutes. Holding it high, he watched
it catch the red glow of the late sun
set. Then he lifted 1t to his lips,
drained it, tossed away the bottle, and
smiled.
The hunger lines on his face grew
set and deep. His shoulders began
to drOOp in a queer, unconscious way.
All the youth left him suddenly, and
he looked like an old man as he sat
there.
A man of perhaps thirty came round
the curve in the road, walking heavily
and whistling. He was tall and broad
shouldered, splendid animal. His
blue flannel shirt, open at the neck,
disclosed throat lean and hairy. He
passed the man on the log, then turned
back, struck by something in his atti-
tude.
"Sayr he called loudly. "Yeu look.
ing for work?"
Very slowly the words penetrated
to the consciousness of the man on
the log. When he understood finally,
he reused himself from his stupor,
threw back his head and laughed.
"Oh, laugh, you tramp" exclaimed
the giant, half good-naturedly, half
contemptuously. Maybe the idea of
working for a living amuses you. But
we need men bad at the shingle mill
up the road, and If you really want
work, here's your chance"
my chance" echoed the man on
the log, and smiled for the last time.
