Jefferson Pageant by
Ridgeway Camp Girls
Over 300 Witness 1t

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Jefferson, Me-, Aug. 27.-History
found delightful repetition, when
overlooking beautiful Clary lake. a
pageant depicting early Jefferson life
was presented by the girls at kath-
crime Ridgeway's School, this after
noon. The weather was ideal and the
setting could not have been more
picturesque. About 800 friends and
relatives of the girls, also many sum-
mer visitors were present and found
much to appreciate in the afternoons S
program.
Beginning with the founding of the
town of Jefferson in 1907, an Indian
scene, featuring a war dance paved
the way for a revue of most interest
ing pictures. A sail boat and raft,
carrying Puritans with their precious
household goods, made their way
down the lake and landed in true his
torical fashion. Building fires and the
making of homes next were shown.
The little red schoolhouse and the
little white church, especially con-
structed for the event, played a prom
inent part in the pageant.
AS the Puritans wended their way
into the little church the organ pealed
forth hymns. The organ was con-
cealed in the woods back of the
scene and the singing was supported
by the harmony from the old music
maker.
Girls on horseback, for all the world
like warriors of old, raced off to war;
After the warriors left there was
praying at home. An interesting
phase of the pageant was the en-
deavor to. produce as much as possi-
BILE the pageant in 1907 when the
boulder was hauled from the lake and
used for a marker In 1907, 81 oxen
were used to haul up the huge boulder
but the smaller one in tCday's pa
geant was hauled up by two oxen.
Some of the camp activities, which
have made the girls healthy and
tanned during the long summer weeks
that have flown all too quickly, were
shown. There were two pretty dances,
the Minuet and a Fairy dance. A
charming little play, "Why the
Fuschia Hangs Its Head" was clev-
erly presented by company of the
girls. Horseback riding and swimming
were also demonstrated.
There are 46 girls in the camp.
coming from all over the United
States. Thirty-siX took part In to-

way. for whom the camp is named, is
one of the owners. Miss Wilbraham is
in charge of the general camp life.
Miss Merrill had charge of the play
and the horseback riding is under the
direction of Miss Woods and Miss
Sturrier. The dancing is in charge
of Miss Graham.

FROM REAL LIFE

It is pleasing, It Is profitable to
turn from the blazoned incidents OF
mans inhumanity to- man, from ex-
ploits of those who think only OF
themselves, from instances Of utter
disregard of mine and thine" and
the crazy performances Of those who
would make it all mine" to the sim
ply told story of man and his en-
ployes, that is gratifying to both and
inspiring to the onlookers.
Here was a man at 25 who resolv-
ed that success depended on himself
He made neckties at night and by
day went about selling them. Evi-
IDENTIFY he made good neckties ana
was reasonable in his demands. Then
he began to find work for assistants,
his first employe yet being with the
concehh, and his Office boy IS years
ago now the vice president of a half
million dollar business. Apparently
this employer knew how to get good
| men about him and they knew
enough and were disposed to CO.
| operate. At the end of 20 years this
employer retires and turns the bus
mess over to his employees.
Are we to conclude from this that
the world is full of ingratitude, of
| chaos and crime; that the only in
teresting things in life are jazz, des-
| perate deeds and having what we
want when we want it? Or isn't
i there to be found in this little story
suggestion that a very desirable
| factor of wisdom is the ability to see
| life in it's real proportions, and a
very important factor in the result
is a desire to win what belongs to us
rather than grab what belongs to the
| other fellow? But enough of moral
izing about the making of neckties;
we hone thew were good ones.

Editorial Comment
No Wonder She Smiled


San Francisco news reports tell the
world that when Dorothy Ellingson,
the 17-year-old girl found guilty of
shooting her mother, was sentenced
to from one to 10 years in the State
prison she merely smiled.
No wonder. A soft-hearted jury
found her guilty of manslaughter for
the deliberate shooting to death of a
parent who demonstrated with her
for her life of shame. And, sentenc-
ed as she is, she will be eligible for
parole after one year. Judging from
the jury's verdict and the courts S
leniency, she will obtain said parole
and walk out, free, after only IL
months imprisonment for matricide.
This is bad enough, but it might
have been worse. The murderer
might have been found mentally
diseased" and kept in an asylum for
a month or two until cured"

When asked why stocks of opium
