PILGRIMS PROGRESS IN SOCIETY.

: We found that the apartment house
landlords had done much to make
the world safe for society. 1t was
our good fortune to land Immediately
in the Stratford Arms. The name car
ried much weight. The James Froth-
1ngham Binks's did not live in the
Stratford Arms, but, in the Bucking-
ham, just across the street. The NAM
ing of apartment houces is fine art,
and, looking at some landlords, we
wonder how they do it,, For instance,
there is nothing About our landlord
which smachs of Shakespeare, or in
fact of any English author, and we
have often been led to doubt that he
knows whether Shaw is a writer or
an exclamation, but by some cunning
inspiration he named his apartment
the Stratford Arms, and it is the Nee
ca of people who have middle names.
We cannot but feel that our social
progress would have been consider
ably deferred If we had been unwise
enough to have moved into a house
named the Finnegan or the McGinnis.
1t is so much pleasanter to hear peo-
pie say: ooh, yes; they live in the
Tuilieres," or they have a perfectly
elegant apartment in the Fontain-
bleau." Luella and l know a young
couple who come of good families,
and who have not only $4,000 year.
but $4,000 a year, and an uncle in
Standard Oil who has form of rheu-
matism that will get him inside of
two years, and they have not been
able to turn a wheel in our set be-
cause their stationary bears the name
of The Tubbs Terrace"
There are many little crooks and
turns which one must learn about.
Luella, in her moments of despair, has
said that there are, in fact, more
crooks than turns; but, fiven good
middle name, good stationery, and an
apartment house with the right scat
of name, there is no reasonably any
ambitious young couple should not do
fairly well in society.

Oxford County Notes.

Levi S. Pennel of Portland, deputy
state sealer of weights and measures, has
been on q tour of inspection in Oxford,
franklin and Androscoggin Counties,
paying particular attention to the inspec-
tion OF scales. Nine sets of scales were
seized and confiscated, having been found
inaccurate and unfit to insure correct
weights.
There recently has died In Lawrence,
Mass, a man who had the distinction Of
discovering q new mineral in Oxford
County,-one not found elsewhere. This
man was Sumner Andrews, q native Of
Lowell and summer visitor of that
town. As Oxford County people know,
Stonehsm is neighboripg town to Low.
ell, and Stoneham is afreasure house Of
minerals. In this town have been found
the finest specimens Of beryl and topaz
vet found in the United States. In 1885,
Mr.. Andrews was bunting for these min
erals on McKeen Mountain in this town
when he came across mineral he had
not seen before, possessing something of
the appearance and qualities Of beryl
and yet not like 1t. A little later, In con-
uection with his brother, the late Charles
G. Andrews of South Paris, and Loren
B. Merrill of Paris Hill, thorough
search was made for this mineral aud
quite number of broken crystals found.
Specimens were submitted to Edward S.
Dana and Horace l.. Wells OF the Ameri-
can Journal of Science, who analyze
them and pronounced them to be a new
variety-a phosphate of sodium and be-
ryllium-and named it beryllonite.

An Important Milestone.

An important milestone in the history
of Maine bydro-electric power develop.
ment was passed recently, when two
great rivers were harnessed together
through the interconnected electrical
system of the Central Maine Power Com
pany.
Nothing spectacular happened when
the power generated from the Kennebec
River and that from the AndroscoggIn
River were brought together by the sim.
pie closing of big switch in the Bruus.
wick power station OF the Central Maine
Power Company. Probably no one out
side of those Immediately concerned in
the actual work knew when the two
streams had been linked together to
work for Names prosperity.
The Deer Rips station OF the Andro-
scoggin Electric Company has been fur
nisbing electric current for operating the
Androscoggin and Kennebec Railway in
Lewiston, Lisbon Falls, Brunswick, Bath
and Freeport. This brought the Andr0-
scoggip's and Central Msine's trsnsmis-
sion systems into the Brunswick power
station, but up to this time they bad
never been connected.
Since the Central Maine Power Com.
pany has taken over the operation of the
Androscoggin Electric Company's sys-
tenn IT, had seemed inadvisable to operate
a steam plant In Lewiston and one in
FarmingdaIe for maintaining emergency
service. During the recent construction
work at Deer Rips power station 1t was
necessary to close that hydro. electric
plant, and by making this connection It
was possible for current to be transmit
ted from the Central Maine Power Com.
psny's system to the Androscoggin Elec-
trio Compsny's system without any In
terruption to the railway, lighting or
power services. In fact, very few Gus.
toners realized that the Androscogsin
and Kennebec Rivers had been tied to.
gether electrically.
As soon as the new transmission line,
which is now being built from Farming
dale to Deer Rips is completed, this con.
nection at Brunswick will simply serve
as duplicate line, and the greater part
of current transmitted will be directly
between the Central Maine Power Com
pany's lines ct Fsrmingdale and Deer
Rips.
This connection OF the two systems
will result in great benefit to. both COM
pauies, both In the operation and the
maintenance OF good service.

have large studio, equipped In the best
manner, with large resident company
of actors. The actors wear woods togs,
day In and day out, so that they come
to feel the life, to enter into the spirit
OF the film, the story, and not to look az
stiff as the average modern wearer OF q
toga. 1t was for this company, the
Edgar Jones Producing Company, that
the dam was blown up. For them, too,

Kavanagh funeral and the barbecue. We
may know that from this company We
shall secure as nearly accurate portrayal
of the woods as We can over expect to
have.
"Filming in Maine is not always so
easy as in California" Mr.. Day remarks.

wheat, % acres of barley, 226 acres of
potatoes, and 172 acres of beans.
The number of acres devoted to hay is

10 these twenty-five towns there are

Big New England Event.
WIDESPREAD INTEREST IN COMING OF
NATIONAL GRANGE SESSION
TO BOSTON.

One of the big New England events of
1920. will be the coming Of the National
Grange to Boston, which will probably
be the largest assembly ever held by any
fraternal organization within the boun-
daries of the New England states. The
dates are November 1919, with Mechan-
ic's Hall the meeting place. Delegates
and other members will come from
more then 80 states and the 5000
subordinate Oranges of the country will
be represented by the gathering.
The outstanding feature will be the
comforting of the seventh degree-the
highest In the Grange-which takes
place on Friday, November 18th, when
q class is confidently expected of from
5000 to 10, 900 people, made up principally
OF New England people. The approx
innate estimates OF candidates from the
ak states is as follows:-Maine 1000,
New Hampshire 1000, Vermont 500,
Massachusetts, 5000, Connecticut 1000,
Rhode Island 500.
The fact that nearly 5000 candidates
received this degree when the National
Grange met at Manchester, New Hamp-
shire, In 1918, makes the prediction of
10000 candidates this year seem wholly
probable; and II this hope is realized it
will easily be the largest class ever
initiated on single occasion by any
fraternal organization in the United
States,
In connection with the National
Grange sessions, big New England
exhibit of agricultural products will be
run In the lower hall in Mechanics
Building, when the products of New
England soil will be very completely
shown, each state having its own space
for exhibit. In the line of household
improvements model kitchens and
model rural school house will be shown,
with all comforts and conveniences
possible to supply each. This exhibit
will be open to the entire public and
wholly free, being run four days. Note
worthy speakers will address the National
Grange sessions and every moment of the
program will be crowded full of inter-
esting things. The fact that the Grange
is an active factor in the public affairs of
the country gives added interest to the
deliberations of its annual sessions.
The Boston event next November is
of greater interest from the fact that
practically all National Grange sessions
are open to any fourth degree member
of the Order which will mean a great
to Boston of New England
Grange members at that time. There
are nearly 1900 subordinate Oranges in
the six New England states, with a
mem bership exceeding $4,000, so that
the size of the Boston gathering can
readily be appreciated.
