“Her Night of Nights” is a comedy
and made by Universal, which comes
to the Strand today.
A rollicking round of action and

The story was adapted from a maga

Hobart Henley, one of the headline
directors at Universal City, guided its
filming.
In the leading role opposite Miss
Prevost, Edward Hearn will be seen.

Congressman Davis spoke along the
| same line he did on Monday evening
! before the Pattungull Club in Au
I gusta. He said in Ins opening that
tlie Republicans had criticised Pres.
' Wilson for being too much of a Icad
! er and said that certainly the same
i criticism could not be inane of 1’resi
i dent Harding.
| The speaker then turned his at
! t( ntion to the tariff and said 1 •;
: months had been spent on the tariff
! lull now in process of construction,
| that a session had been called espec
, ially to work on it and today the
bill was about as far from the house
bill as it could possiblybe. It is a
1 good prediction, said lie, to say that
no tariff bill will receive a passage
before the coming election. The hill
1 proposed said the Congressman
; would cost the people of the- country
j about 0 billions of dollars in one year
while the Soldiers Bonus would cost
! the country between 4 or 5 billion
i spread ovpr twenty years,
j Judge Davis said that this was a
j Democratic year and predicted that
i though the Republicans eonoeeded
-■the loss of 1 f'O congressmen lie be
lieved that the loss would be great
j enough to insure a Democratic ma
I jorlty in the house. He reviewed the
I "glorious past” of flic Democratic

{ asked the voters present to cast their
votes this year for the Democratic

Hallowell Has Changed
In .i9 Years as Seen By
John Curtis of Calif.
Fifty-nine years ago. Joseph Curtis
left his native city. H tllowell. then a
thriving shift building center and
went to sea. He was but 17 years of
ace. but before lie ]ef; the sea and
rejoined the ranks of the “land lub
bers' he had seen practically all cor
ners of the earth, had jaunted around
considerable, "On West, young man"
was th<-. urge which next day sent
Joseph Curtis to another part of the
I'nited States, sunny California. That
was in 1*70 that he left Boston and
went to California, where he settled
in Oraville, Butte county, where he
has since tilled the soil watched his
olive trees grow and became a use- ■
ftil citizen.
Mr. Curtis' ranch (they are never I
railed farms out that way) contains ,
400 acres and he has 1500 olive trees, j
which he hastens to add is a small ;
number compared with the bigger
growers. His olives are raised for
olive oil. But olives are not the only
products of his fertile ranch, for
there he grows all kinds of citrus
fruits and nuts.
Tn the course of his sea travels.
Joseph Curtis went around the world
twice and he traveled with his uncle.
Joseph B. Curtis of Yarmouth, a
shipmaster. Even if his uncle was
one of authority on board. that did
not hinder the Hallowell lad from
getting some of the hard knocks.
One trip he recalls vividly Their
ship w; s bound for the States, com- |
ir.g from France with no freight.
The ballast was being used A equal!
came up. throwing the vessel onto one
side The Via Hast shifted to that side i
and the ship remained In that listed
position The men were ordered to
the hold The ballast was in time
shifted back to its proper place but
that mishap carried them to the ;
Azoic Island and they were fi3 days j
making port. New York. The trip j
should have heen made in 25 days, j
Trips to Australia. New Zealand. '
South America, were included in his i
journeys.
The last sea voyage as a member of '
'he crew which Joseph Curtis took!
was going from east to west, down i
around Cape Hort. It was 41 days !
before they doubled the old Cape and !
'.be gales blew them down into 51
south latitude where they played
with death among the icebergs. Thor
nally got out of that place and con
:nued along their way. Mr. Curtis j
did not say if that was the reason
hy he gave up following the sea. ;
He married Lucy Augustus Beale ’
of Hudson, who has since passed
away. In Oraville he makes his home
with his niece. Mrs. Eva Park. In
Hallowell he is visiting Edward
Horne at Louden Hill, the son of an
rid schoolmate.
Since coming to Maine this iast j
time, Mr. Curtis has visited at the !
National Soldiers' Home at Togus j
and he was somewhat surprised to !
see such an establishment. The las' !
time he sow that location it was back
in 1S3r> or before and it was nothing
more or less than a pond. It war
there he used to go as a boy to catch
pickerel.
Mr. Curtis will visit here for a
while longer before returning to his
western home.

Says Charge Foolish
Washing Powder in Tanks
Boston, Aug. 20.—William K. j
Cleary, secretary of the Boston and
Maine system shop federation to- j
day took exception to reports that
the strikers had filled water tanks
with soap powder.
"The very foolishness of the charge
that the strikers put washing powder i
in tile water tanks," Mr. Cleary said. \
"is seen when the public learns that |
it takes about one half package of j
powder to a tub of warm water to j
create suds. The tanks contain about j
5,000 tubs of cold water, so it is ques
tioned how ]5 or 20 packages of pow- i
dcr could affect this amount of wa- |
ttr, especially when the water is i
drawn from the bottom of the tanks
and not from the top, where Hie
powder was supposed to be floating.•*
