A definite stand to use its influence
for the suppression of profanity in
the city, was taken by the Augusta
Kiwanis club at it's weekly luncheon
session held Thursday at the Girls
Community clubhouse. The Kiwan-
ians also went on record as favoring
more representative attendance at
the churches of the city on Mothe- s
Sunday, May 9.
The stand of the club against the
use of profanity was the result of
brief talks by Charles E. Quincy, dis
trict trustee, and Frank G. Earring
ton. vice president Of Augusta XII
wants, who pointed out that the
habit Of profanity is growing in the
city and should be suppressed.
Judge Fred Emery Beane, tive
retired justice Of the Kennebec coun-
ty superior court, and William H.
Reid were made the first honorary
members of Augusta Kiwanis at the
session and were given a charge on
the duties of members and the ideals
of the international organization by
Rev. Carl n. Garland. The valua BILE
services rendered to the community
and the State by Judge Beane and
Mr.. Reid, retired proprietor of the
Maine State bookbindery. who is 81
years of age, were referred to by the
speaker.
The program Of the session includ-
ed the showing of a very interesting
moving picture on furniture con-
struction by Everett Flood Of the F.
H. Beale furniture company. This
education picture sponsored by the
Rockford, ILL.,, Furniture Manufacture
ers' Association, gave an excellent
insight of the modern processes that
are carried on in the making of fine
furniture.
District Trustee Quincy reported
on the trip that he and President
Frank Z. Mace of the club made to
Noston,S Wednesday to attend the
grand inter-club meeting of the New
England Kiwanis District held for
the purpose of meeting John III. Moss.
president of Kiwanis International.
He spoke of two definite points that
were brought out by President
Mass, advocating that particular at
tentlon be paid the under-privileged
child, and second, that kiwanians
themselves attend and urge larger
attendance at the churches on Mo-
Tiers Sunday as tribute to the mo-
theirs.
A vote of thanks was extended to
the members of the cast who SO sue
cessfully presented the comedy, THE
Hottentot," under the auspices of
Augusta Kiwanis last Tuesday even
ing at Augusta City hall. Thanks
were also extended to the ushers and
the ladies who gave their services
at the refreshment booths. Walter
D. Thurber, chairman of the program
committee, reported that the net adj
vertising space sold was $1003., with
expenses of about $500. Donald O..
Burleigh, general chairman of the en-
tertainment committee, stated that
the final report Of the committee
could not be made until all of the
bills are in. Grin B. Frost, chairman
of the ticket committee, said tat 1922
for tickets had been received to date.
and the sum of S126 was taken in at
the booths.

Girl Wins Dramatic Fight for Love

Girl Wins Dramatic Fight for Love
The story of a lone girls fight
against the traditions and gossip of
her little world is graphically told in
the picture at the Colonial Theatre
today and tomorrow.
This drama, in which the uneven
fight is won, after powerful Sc
quence of scenes, is Lovers ISL
and" an Associated Exhibitors pro-
duction adapted from the story of the
which appeared in the Smart Set
Magazine.
In the part of the dauntless girl.
Hope Hampton is cast In one of tn
best roles of her career and one
which offers great opportunities for
really emotional acting. In some
scenes she arises TO great heights OF
histrionism, and her mastery per-
formance alone makes the picture
we'll worth seeing.
But Miss Hampton is not required
to work alone, and James Kirkwood,
handsome and virile idol of the fans,
adds his excellent portrayal of the
hero to the roster of Lovers Island
To say nothing of that veteran act
or, Louis Wolheim, of What Price
Glory" fame, who has a splendid
part in this drama, and could not be
better cast.
Lovers Island" concerns the SIM
pie life of fisher folk in little ham,
let on the Maine coast, and the love
of a girl for a man not of her own
people. She succeeds in defying her
narrow minded family in a tremen-
dous Climax, skillfully and artisti-
cally screened.
Others in the cast are Flora LIE
Breton. Ivan Linow, Flora Finch,
and Jack Raymond.
The companion or added feature
is THE Cowboy and the Countess. .
featuring Buck Jones. The plot re-
wolves around band of cowboys on
tour of Europe. Their adventures
on the way over on one of the big
trans Atlantic liners are extremely
funny, and their part In the capture
of the notorious bandit. Bozarri. is
one OF the biggest thrills in the his

ANOTHER YEAR OF IT7

Assuming the Sesqui- Centennial
Exposition to be one Of the best ever
had; assuming that for one reason
or another the exhibitors are not in
q way to be recompensed for their
efforts II the Exposition is to be
closed this Fall: assuming that the
continuance of It would prove profit
able not alone to the exhibitors but
also to the public then an effort to
continue It for another year would
seem to be warranted.
The Public Ledger In advocating
aid from the Federal Government
and the State OF Pennsylvania,
claiming that neither Of these agen-
cies has fulfilled obligations to the
Exposition, admits that the enter
prise was created in haste. opened
too soon, encountered unfavorable
weather, impressed early visitors I'M
favorably and has been unable to
overcome these handicaps. notwith-
standing It is now magnificent, the
exhibit Of this Government alone
being the greatest ever made. 1t
urges that the show and the ex-
hibitors be given another chance.
One thing is quite evident and that
is, this will be the last great exposi-
ton for several years. The public's
interest in expositions has waned
not only in this but In other coun-
tries. Indeed II the Exposition be
kept open another year it may be
questioned whether 1t would prove
the public attraction it would de-
serve to be.
