the contemplated mass meeting was
postponed and will probably be giv
offidal* decided to purchase from the
j government surplus offered for dis
1 tributiou the various articles which
hare been placed on sale, this action
I was taken to order to give the pro-1

cost articles with which the govern
I meat was over-loaded because cf th* I
sudden close of the war, and also to

many of which were perishable. Bed- j

two months reaJtoe the faintuse
amount of work which these sales
have added to the selectmen's office
and the cheerful manner in which tt
lias been assumed could be appreciat
ed.. A careful canvass cf public rc
vccert leads to the conclusion that
the nr eat majority of the citizens ere
in favor of the continuance of these
sales and if they were discontinued
over the country would leave on the
hands of the government a quantity
cf goods much which would prob
ably spoil before another practical
method of distribution could be de

WINTHROP
Miss Pauline Doe, the Red Cross
(public health nurse, gave a talk on
| her Tvork here and what she is to
do for the people of Winthrop, at the
1C. il Bailey Public Library Thurs
day evening. There was a good at
' tendance as considerable interest is
already being shown in the matter.
1 and the committee has substantial
! reasons for believing that the pro
' gram outlined by them wDl be work
; ed out adopted and put through and
1 ihet a health survey a year from now
win show a great difference. It is
being brought boms to the people
more and more that the conservation
of the health of our people, whether
in times of war or peace, is n nation- ;
a! service as well as a home duty.
The prevention of contageous dis- j
ease is almost entirely a mater of,
home hygiene and the responsibility j
for the maintenance of civilian health I
must be borne in the immediate fut- ]
ure more and more by the women In i
our homes. Miss Doe comes to Win- i
tbrop strongly recommended as a (
very competent nurse. During the j
war she was employed by the Gov- j
eminent as head nurse at one of the !
training camps. She was for six j
years in France as a Red Cross j
nurse. She is a graduate of the Au- j
gusta hospital, trained for one year j
•tnder the late Dr. Sanborn. Air j
though the services of Miss Doe are I
given us. through the generousity of !
one person, for three months, it is !
probable that a small fee will be!
charged for her services, enough to I
defray expenses for equipment and
transportation. She wiil work strict
ly under the physicians* orders but
any one may call her that wishes to,
whether under the care of a physic
ian or not. Miss Doe will room with
Mrs. Annie Stevens and a telephone
call at Mrs. W. H. Stevens’ will reach
her after Monday of next week.
Later she will have an office and
regular office hours. The following
committee has been appointed to ad
vise and co-operate with her la re
gard to the activities affecting the
health and welfare of the citizens af

! The Ice Prospect on the Kennebec
L. C. Ballard, Maine n. r.ager for the
American Ice Co.. las just returned
from an inspection of The company's
houses at Booth bay. Asked whether or
Dot ice will be harvested on the Ken
nebec this season Mr Ballard was un
able to give a definite answer It may
| or St may not. all depending on various
1 conditions that do not as yet exist
Mr Ballard did state, however, that
there was between 10 and If Inches of
good ice on the river. "The surface has
i never been befter. the fields have never
: been any clearer nor has the weather
ever been any more favorable to date.
, The freeze on the Hudson is reported
i good and no old itc- remains in the
1 houses on the river," said he.
In the heyday of the ice business in
{this section, the year IS*. the capacity
j of the houses on the Kennebec amount
I ed to some L390,«*? tons, and the houses
1 were practically filled to capacity limit.
! This year there are but 19 houses on
j the river that have a capacity of some
i SCTMW tons. Thus it will be seen that
i the capacity of the houses is some mil
i lion tons short of the above mentioned
j time. Last season about !09.009 tons of
j ice was harvested on the river and to
j day the houses are clear.
When the order comes te fill the Ken
j nebec houses, in case it comes at all
! this year, there will be a hustle and
j bustle, although all preparations that
i can consistenly be made before hand
will have been made. Mr. Ballard stat
ed that the principa. features that con
( front the company nowaday^ are the
j housing, feeding and ciothir.g of the
mer. engaged in the work,
j The Hudson river seldom furnishes
anything in the line cf what may te
: termed heavy ice. as an eight-inch ice
there is considered thick enough to har
vest.
The houses now standing on the Ken
nebec together with the approx.mate
; capacity in tons is given herewith:

and the star is great. Charles Ray
is our idea of a perfect actor. That
is. a natural actor.
No one would ever think that the
easy-going, unassuming Charles Ray
would be cast as a crook But that is
t’jst what has happened. "Crooked
Straight" is not the usual story of a
man sunk in the depths who turns
straight after spending the most of
his life behind prison bars, but of a
man who gets just ore taste of crime
and then decides to be good there
after, for he has learned his lesson
And, of course, there is the girl.
Priscilla Dean is also there with
"Pretty Smooth” and the great serial
‘ Lightning Bryce" No. 2. "Wolf
Nights." This makes a splendid pro
gram. Monday and Tuesday has a
banner bill in ''The Wolf” with Wil
liams and “It Pays to Advertise” with
Bryant Washburn, that swell looking
fellow. The Gaumont News will also
be shown on these days.—Adv.

the awakening of the small town
wife. The human-ness of “Just folks”
presented in the inimitably charac
teristic Los Weber manner and with
winsome Mildred Harris. (Mrs. Char
ge Chaplin) delightful in the role of
the ambitious small town girl who
learned a wonderful lesson. A hu
man story full of heart-appeal, says
the Moving Picture News, "with the
value of 'home' woven into the pat
tern with rare delicacy.” With Mrs.
Chaplin on the same bill is the Un
iversal feature “Under Suspicion.”
Charles Clary, who has a promi
nent part with Ora Carew and For
rest Stanley. In “Under Suspicion.”
the Universal comedy-drama, is a
widely known player. He is best re
membered as “Father Kelly” in "The
Rosary” and as Harrington ta "The
Honor System."
For good cheer, the bill will be
closed with a Lloyd Comedy, "Look
Out Below.” This make a wonderful
program. Shows at 2.30, C.4S and 9
o'clock sharp. The crowds at the
Johnson Opera House are getting
fciggfr all the time, so come early.
Don’ti miss the bill today—it's worth
