made names for themselves in other
states.
This has now been entirely changed.
Modern science has discovered so many
ways in which to utilize electricity and
to conduct IL advantageously from
place to place that 1t is now no longer
necessary for the people and industries
to move where they can find their fuel
and secure it easily. Fuel can now be
taken to the people.
Maine through it's great natural re-
source, waterpower, has fuel and pow
er in abundance. This will result in
great industrial growth because of the
ease with which It may be procured
and the comparatively, low price at
which it may be secured.
Through the great advances now be-
ing made In industrial chemistry and
now possible to utilize our hard and
soft-wood resources as never before.
This fact means many more new in
dustries which in turn will use cleo
tricity.
This industrial growth coupled with
the rapidly increasing growth of pop
ulation in the United States will with
in the next 25 years give to Maine
farms new life. The country will be
faced with the problem of food supply
and then Names agriculture will
come into it's own. The use OF cleo
tricity on the farms. improved machin-
cry, good roads and automobiles, will
tend to keep the young folks at home
and the advance of agricultural chem
istry, plant breeding, better financial
methods will all help to stimulate ag-
riculture throughout the State.
The tourist business also shows
great promise. Maine has a climate
both in winter and summer that can
not be equal in any other state, its
water is the finest ever, it's air is
wonderful and it's boasts at fine fish
ing and hunting, beautiful scenery
and good roads. The speaker pre-
dicted that within few short years
by the use of airplanes a business
man from New York, Philadelphia or
what will then be nearby city"
may make week end trips to Maine.
Once here many of them will want
to stay and will bring their business
here, thus again swelling the indus
trial ranks of the State of Maine.
In conclusion the speaker pointed
out to the young men that for the
past so years, an older generation
has been doing It's best. although
greatly handicapped, to pass on to its
children wonderful state in better
condition than that in which 1t was
received and that to the hands of
the young men it is now consigned,
with boundless possibilities and Won
derful traditions.
Mayor Ernest l. Mclean in a short
talk Emphasized the necessity of

ECONOMIC FUTURE OF MAINE DEPENDS UPON
DEVELOPMENT OF WATER POWER, INDUSTRIES
AND ACR!CUL TURE, DUNNACk TELLS LEGION

A new era Of economic progress, re-
sulting primarily from the develop
ment of the waterpower of the State
of Maine but Indirectly including the
industrial and agricultural life of the
State, was predicted Monday night at
Legion hall by State Librarian Henry
E. Dunnacll in an address before the
members of James Fitzgerald Post, No.
2, American Legion. and the mayor
and members of the city government.
who were invited guests of the le-
gionaires.
The speaker pointed out that Maine
has been at standstill since 1870 be-
cause of the lack of three important
things, coal, iron and railroads. These
three have become so welded into the
life of the people of the country that
the population has concentrated where
they are found in abundance. Maine,
lacking these has suffered the loss of
it's young people, many of whom have

LEAD SHIFTS AGAIN
IN QUEEN CONTEST
MISS WITHAM AHEAD

The leadership of the Carnival
Queen contest reverted to Miss Rosa
Witham on Monday noon. after the
votes were counted, she having forged
ahead sufficiently to lead her closest
competitor, Miss Josephine HARDWOOD,
by total of 1920 votes. Miss Har-
wood was leading the day before
with a plurality ofi770 votes, which
was wiped out by the squirt made By
Miss Witham on Monday.
Indications are that all the COM
petitors are working harder as the
contest draws to a close and that the
votes will mount up with increasing
rapidity. Although the two leaders
have apparently distanced the other
two candidates, their many friends
declare that they are by no means
out of the race and that there may
still be surprise due in the contest.
The summary on Monday was:
Rosa Witham ............. 26,400
Josephine Harwood ......... 24,780
Laura Waugh ................ 1900
Eta Mckinnon ............. $40

MYRKLE-HARDER STOCK PLAYERS PRESENT
M|RTHFUL COMEDY AT FIRST PERFORMANCE

nee and evening performances all of
this week.
The same sterling play will be the
attraction at the afternoon show to-
day and 1t is anticipated that here
will be a big matinee audience on
hand for the presentation.
The play deals with the more or
less hectic though brief career of a
young man prosaically inclined, who
because of the exigencies of the &C.
casion becomes a gay Lothario by
reputation. John Kingston .interprets
this serio- comic role most acceptably,
with the attractive Ann Nelson
playing opposite.
One of the best characterizations
of the piece Is that of Norman Wen
dell, who plays the father Of the fair
heroine and attempts to Elk" things
up with his daughter and his bust
ness partner. Jean Clarendon gives
another splendid bit of acting as the
jealous sutton Of the famousmoving
picture star whose name is appro-
priated by the schemers to aid their
own ends.
The entire production was well
cast and lavishly staged with special
scenery and effects. 1t was apparent
that the appearance of the Myrkle-
Harder Company here was a source
of genuine satisfaction to the hardy
audience that braved the storm last
night to witness the opening play.
Benton Ressler, member of the
cast, between the acts spoke Of the
coming productions which the COM
pany will present here this week, and
also told his hearers something of
the company, which has been playing
high grade stock for the past %
years.
This Tuesday evening the play will
be Simon Called Peter" which is
one of the most powerful dramas of
the alst two years in metropolitan
theatres.
In conjunction with the appearance
during the present week of the
Myrkle- Harder company the Opera
House orchestra, under the direction
of Albert E. Hopkins is presenting
special musical programs. For this
afternoon and evening the musical
program will include the following:

Piles Disappear

$3.50, 1000 Worth Stamps

Boston, Feb. lap - The loot
taken by armed robbers from the
Pawtucket Central Post Office early
today was worth $260,00a and con-
sisted entirely of stamps, 1t was an
nounced at the post office here after
a check-up. This office said it was
the largest robbery ever suffered by
the postal department in New Eng
land.
Park D. Colvin, chief inspector for
New England, said that the stolen
stamps constituted the entire supply
Of the Pawtucket office. they were
done up in the usual form, 10000 to
q package, and included stamps of
every denomination.
This is the biggest postal robbery
that has ever taken place in New
England" Mr.. Colvin said, but large
as it is l am certain that the cuI-
prits will be caught. There has new
er been a major postal robbery any
where in the country in which those
guilty have not eventually been
brought to justice"
There was no prospect of immed-
late arrests, it was stated, as trac-
ing of the stolen matter would take
time and there was only a meagre
description of the holdup men.
Three inspectors, Breslin, Pendle-
ton and Anderson, are at work on
the case in Pawtucket, it was said
here. Inspector Reilly has been or
dered to that city from Worcester
and Inspector Sullivan of the Bos-
ton office, now in Washington, was
ordered by telegraph to report at
Pawtucket.
There is a standing offer of $1,000
for information leading to arrest and
conviction in any postal robbery, and
$1,000 additional if 1t is proven that
weapons were used. A special reward
covering the Pawtucket robbery will
probably be offered, Mr.. Colvin said.
but decision as to that will doubtless
be made in Washington.
