badly the program had to be called
off. One act of vaudeville was dis
continued when rain made the per-
formance impossible. 1t cleared off
however late in the afternoon ana
many visited the Fair grounds for
the vaudeville and fierworks.

ALF GOULDING'S "DON'T"
 SPARKLING COMEDY-DRAMA

A comedy drama that almost ends in a tragedy is Don't" which began an engagement last night at the Lib- erty theatre. It is a Mearo-Goldwyn- Mayer production directed by Ali Goulding, based on a story by Rup- ert Hughes, and adapted to the screen by Agnes Christine Johnston.
 Goulding, whose only other feature length picture was Excuse Me" 1" shows vast improvement in his di- rection over his last effort although Excuse Me" is considered one of the funniest comedies ever produced.
 Roach Comedy Hit
 Bert Roach, the comedy hit of "Ex- cuse Me-" again scores as Uncle Nat in Don't" His is a fast-rising star. Estelle Clark, another newcomer, who has been seen in bits before, is given her first big chance as "Jane," the maid, and makes the most of it. Her pathetic moments stand out as well as her comedy.

State Police Weigh
Truck Thought to
Be Overloaded

Saturday morning the fate of an
overloaded truck shared interest with
the May breakfast, the Maria Clark
tag day and the carnival. The eve
ming before the large truck No. Mo-
ZOE, said to be owned by A D. Page of
WaterNille and TO be on the way to
Winthrop. Mass, from WaterYille,
was held up by the State highway po-
lice on suspicion OF overlooking. 1t
was driven on the Hamilton & Co.
scales and found to be apparently a
half ton overweight. 1t was parked
for the night near the Hallowell Fuel
Company's premises and the driver,
George Sinnett of WaterVille, and two
helpers appeared in the Hallowell To-
cal court in the morning. The case
was continued until the truck should
return from Winthrop and a more ac-
curate idea of the weight to which ii
was entitled could be obtained. Seen
by daylight, is appeared miracle that
so much could ever have been piled on
the vehicle and made to stay.
