New York Critics Hail Don O."
Don c., Son of Zorro is inst a.
full of new ideas as the average
Fairbanks effort. With a whip for
a weapon he stirred an audience to
many an outburst of genuine merri-
ment and at the end there was a
peal of applause. It il a swift picture
with plenty of pleasing surprises and
action. It has an ideal part for Mr.,
Fairbanks. This Is a photoplay
which creates no end of mirth and
sustalns the interest all through.-N.
Y. Times.
THE sets and the settings are
magnificent, and the photography is
beautiful. Never for a moment does
the picture seem too long, SO we
know that all of it must have been
interesting. Where one enemy was
slain in previous Fairbanks pictures,
ten are slain in Don O. It Is a big
ger and better picture. Don't miss

sitting down in his life, and probably
no picture which he ever made found
him more actively engaged with the
business at hand. In particular he
begins his 1925 exhibit with flourishes
and at tremendous pace. AS the
finale approaches he Is seen in a
whirlwind Of stunts and summers.
Through it all he yields cracking

effective fashion. Mr.. Fairbanks is his

Tax Exemptions
AppOrtiOned On
Status of Taxpayer

The revenue act Of 1925 provides
that the status Of q taxpayer rela-
tive to the amount of his personal
exemptions shall be determined by
apportionment in accordance with
the number of months the taxpayer
was single, married or the head of
a family. according to an announce
ment made Tuesday by Hon. Frank
j. Ham of this city. the collector of
internal revenue for the District of
Maine.
If, on June 30, a taxpayer ceased
being the head of a family, the sup
port in one household Of a relative
or relatives being discontinued, he
is allowed an exemption Of $500,
one-half Of the exemption of $500
granted a single person plus one,
half of the exemption of $500 grant
ed the head of family. With re-
gard to the $500 credit for a de-
pendent, the status of the taxpayer
is determined as Of the last dav of
the taxable year. II, during tina
year. his support OF such dependent
ceased, he is not entitled to this
credit. w '''o

1.-THE most direct route from Au-
gusta to the Heights is via Western
avenue. to Winthrop; here you cross
the steam railroad tracks, turn to
the right and shortly take a left
hand road--the one leading to Wayne
village; upon reaching the village
take the road running southerly-on
the easterly side of Androscoggin
lake-to North Monmouth.
THE summit of the Heights may

i find," said Miss Hodgdon, that
numerous visitors at the department
have never had the privilege of en-
Joying this beautiful view-it being
several miles from steam and trolley
hnes-and since that picture was
placed here 1t has occurred to me II
would be a splendid idea (and profit
able, too) II someone could arrange
to make daily sunset trips at nomi-
nal cost, to the Heights the coming
summer. think such tours would be
well patroniZed, and would not only
enable our own people, but many
transient visitors as well-to visit
this charming spot in Western Ken
nebec county.
1T also occurs to me that several
other delightful trips. starting from
Augusta, could also be made. For in
stance, a round trip to the Belgrade
Chain, for instance. would also be
most enjoyable, as many of the
prominent places around those lakes
could easily be visited on tour of
this kind.
Several like trips could be made
to other points, for our county alone
has wealth of scenic gems like
these, as well as many points of his
torical interest.
1.-THE same idea could be carried
out from a central point in other
counties to their own particular
points of interest, and during the
tourist season would. I believe. be-
come very popular.
Il am not suggesting now any de-
tails for carrying out these ideas
am just giving the thought which has
come to me-and l hope by the time
our lovely June days arrive someone
will have arranged such a series OF
