Ashes on the Garden

Ashes in small quantities benefit
rather than harm most gardens.
Especially where the ground is in
clined to be clayey, ashes will prove
helpful. Wood ashes, better than coal
ashes. have tendency to sweeten the
soil. Much garden soil is sour. II
it were sweet it would produce better
vegetables. Practically all swampy or
poorly drained soil is sour.

FAVOR|TE CLASSIC
OF new ENGLAND IN
"WAY Down EAST

A masterful portrayal Of wonder
full old story which will never grow
tiresome from re-telling. that is the
d. w. Griffith version of Way Down
East" And what is true of the story
is also true Of the motion picture It
self-it never grows tiresome from re-
showing. Although the screen version
of that story has been in this city
several times previously, It's advent
here is always marked by good at
tendance at every show.
The novel by the same name. which
this motion picture follows rs closely
as possible, was written by Lottie
Blair Parker and has for the past 22
years been a classic of New England
life. With a setting in a simple coun-
try village and characters such as are
rapidly disappearing from the life or
New England. it is a refreshing por-
trayal of the old straight-laced but
lovable country people of two or three
decades ago.
The wonderful scenic photography
and the character acting. which is es-
pecially true to type. marks this pic
ture with is gripping plot as one that
will continue to hold it's popularity as
has the stage production.
This remarkable picture was shown
on Thursday and will remain at the
Colonial Theatre for today and Satur-
day. 1t is such a picture as the en-
tire family will want to see over and
over again. Thrills there are in 1t,
coupled with a tender love motif and a
preston upon the members Of the au-

Engagement Announced At
Party To Group of Friends.

At delightful party held at her
residence, 80 Arsenal street, Thurs
day evening, Miss Mabelle N. White
announced her engagement to Georae
II. Arris, Of Erie, Pa. Games of
various sorts were played during the
first part of the evening. after which
a delicious luncheon was served.
The dining room was tastefully
decorated for the occasion in blue
and white colorings, the table being
especially attractive with a CENTER
piece of roses and sweet peas, and
small announcement cards at each
place. Dainty holders, fashioned as
roses and filled with salted nuts
We're also at each place.
Miss White is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. l.. H. White of Norridge-
wock and a popular young lady of
the Central Maine Power Company's
office, being bookkeeper for the Au-
gusta district.
Mr.. Arris. formerly with the J. A.
Carnage Company of this city, is the

or an attorney to the bench, who
played an important part in the
campaign and election of a governor
has precedent in several instances.
Associate Justice Warren G. Phil
hrook of Waterville and Augusta
was chairman of the State commit
tee. when William II. Haines Jas
elected governor. and his appoint
ment to the bench was made by that
governor. Justice Guy II. Sturgis Of
Portland was an active member of
the State committee during the Bay
ter campaign and was named by the
latter.
AS to a successor to Chief Justice
Cornish, there is e"~~ more diverse
conjecture than as to the possible
lew member of the Supreme bench.
1t is not at all certain that the new
Chief Justice will even be named
from the present group Of Associate
Justices. There is always posi-
bility that the Governor may reach
appoint an outstanding attorney,
who has not sat on the bench.
If such procedure were follow
ed, it is a bare possibility that the
man selected would be Hon. William
r. Pattangall, former Attorney Gen.
eral of Maine, and Governor Brew
sters Democratic opponent In the
Septemher election. This would be
an extraordinary .ituation without
doubt, but the selection of justices
Of the Supreme bench is admittca
free of political entanglements, and
the appointment OF Mr.. Pattangall
would certainly be magnificent
gesture. Many are of the opinion
that Mr.. Pattangall would be pleased
with appointment. which would e
move him once and for all from the
huffetings on the stormy sea of poll
teal aspiration, which has been his
experience.
In the matter OF seniority, where
the present associate justices are
concerned, Justice Warren c. PHI
brook is the senior Justice, and Is
mentioned as the possible next CHEZ
Justice of Maine. Associate Justice
Scott Wilson Of Portland Is also
frequently named as likely sue
cessor 20 Chief Justice Cornish.
Besides appointing a successor to
Chief Justice Cornish, Governor
Brewster will have the naming of
four of the present Associate JUS
tees to succeed themselves-or the
appointment OF successors--during
the first year Of his administration,
as the terms of Justices Dunn of
Orono, Morrill, of Auburn, Wilson of
Portland, and Deasey of Bar Har-
Dor, will all terminate in -925.
1t is interesting to recall at this
time that during Governor Carl e.
Milliken's two terms, he had the APP
pointment or reappointment OF
every member of the Supreme Judi
cial court bench, and also of tbs
Maine Superior court bench.

SPECULATION RIFE
| OVER SUCCESSOR TO
| Chief JUS. CORNISH

The resignation of Chief Justice
Leslie c. Cornish has given rise to
conjecture in all quarters as to his
possible successor on the Supreme
judicial Court bench and as chief OF
the Maine Supreme Judicial body.
The resignation of Chief Justice
Cornish came as surprise to the
citizens of the State and even to his
friends and associates on the bench.
1t is the general expression of cIin-
ion that with the passing from office
Of Chief Justice Cornish, Maine loses
an emicent juror, che who has COM
manded nation wide attention and IS
rated as one of the tall figures" of
American Jurisprudence.
Though as yet Governor Brewster
has not indicated his CHI Jice of an
attorney to fill the vacancy on the
Supreme bench. nor of a successor
to Chief Justice Cornish, several
rames are being prominently men
toned i'll this connection as possible
appointee3. One of those most fire.
quently mentioned is Hon. Frank r..
harrington of Augusta, who was
Governor Brewster's opponent in the
greatest primary race in the history
of the selection of candidates by this
method in Maine. Mr.. Harrington it
is generally conceded has all of me
requisites of a justice, and is quail
fed to sit on the Supreme Court
bench.
Another possibility. which many
believe has supporting considerations
which are Of considerable weight. is
Hon. Geoi &c l.. Emery of Saco. the
present chairman of the Republica1

TALENTED LOCAL
GIRL POSES FOR
MAGAZINE COVER

When a number of radio fans pur-
chase their March number Of Radio
stories" they may glance at the cover
and wonder who the lovely light
haired girl smiling at them might be.
They may not identify her with any
one they know, as magazine cover
! girls are so lovely and so attractive
they they seem most ethereal rather
i than live folks. She has golden hair,
sparkling blue eyes. smiling lips and
symmetrical teeth. There is a grace
full curve to her neck, which comes out
from her fur-edges opera cape. And
on her head is set of ear phones, the
delight Of the radio fan.
But those who know Miss Irene
Goodrich. only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry E. Goodrich, Green street.
this city. will not fail to recognize in
the magazine cover girl the young
| lady herself. The resemblance, in
| spite of the picture being printed in
! colors, meaning some degree of sac
rifice of detail, is very striking.
Miss Goodrich is now doing bits"
in moving picture making in New
York City and such work is considered
step in the right direction towards
success. She recently did bit in the
moving picture "Fifty-fifty," starring
,, Lionel Barrymore and Hope Hampton.
In that same picture, by coincidence,
| it is interesting to recall that Arthur
Donaldson takes part. He, is will be
| remembered, was the professor in THE
Rider of the King Log" Holman Days
production, and he gave out the di-
plomas at the Colby graduation in the
story, Miss Goodrich being one Of the
co-eds in the picture. This was Miss
Goodrich's first movie endehvor.
Recently Miss Goodrich saw the pre-
mier Of bad Company" starring
Madge Kennedy and Conway Tearle.
Miss Goodrich did bit part in that
picture. AS far as is knowp Miss
Goodrich is the only Maine girl who is
! engaged in moving picture work ex-
clusively, and who is forging steadily
ahead.
