Maine has produced another
songstress of renown, Miss Eva
Hackett of Houlton becoming
prima donna overnight, singing Else
Elders part in the musical comedy
June Love" at a moments notice.
Miss Elders understudy declined to
go on, when Miss Elder was taken
sick and Miss Hackett, who had
understudied several parts. volun-
tered and made such a hit that the
audience, led by Raymond Hitchcock
from box, gave her great hand.
Miss Hackett left Houlton about two
yeas ago for New York, where she
sang for few weeks in the Winter
Garden chorus, going to the Capitol
theatre in Ned Wayburn's Review,
where after five weeks she was taken
from the chorus to sing in the lead
ing role at afternoon performances.
She later went to the Walton Roof
Garden in Philadelphia and her
progress has since been steady and
very gratifying to friends and Maine
people in general.
The Massachusetts travelling man
who lost his false teeth in Houlton,
no one being able to find them, is
said to have been wandering around
the wilds Of Bangor the next day,
unable or unwilling to call on his
customers.
The Bangorian who volunteered
assistance in cranking motor boat
for woman somewhat agitated over
the approach of the terrific wind
storm last Sunday and who lost two
front teeth through the crank flying
up rather unexpectedly when his face
was in the way, says that although
quicker work, he prefers extraction
by the usual method.
Michael Moskus, the Lithuanian,
who is charged with blasphemy at a
Lithuanian meeting last year in
Rumford and whose case is before
the supreme court, faileds to answer
when called Tuesday at Rumford and
his cash bail was defaulted to the
State. The county and State thus
saves further expense and seems to
be well rid of very undesirable
person.
:, professor S. F. Harms of the
Spanish department at Bates col
lege has been granted leave of
absence for a year for advanced
study and travel in Spain. Accom-
panied by Mrs. Harms and his
daughter. Dorothy. Professor Harms
will sail from New York June rs,
going direct to Madrid, where he
will enroll as a student in the Uni
versity Summer school. He plans
to spend the major portion of year
in Madrid.
County Agent Albert X. Gardner is
soon to leave Pennington having
been appointed assistant TO Dean
Leon S. Merrill of the University of
Maine. He has purchased a home in
Orono and will take up his. residence
there about July 1. His successor in
the Franklin county. field has not
been announced.
Maine again comes to the fore as
the leader in worthwhile enter
prise, says the Portland Press. for
the American Bankers Association
has written to the State Chamber of
Commerce. asking information as to
the work which the latter organiZa-
ton has done in introducing the
budget system in the banks Of Maine.
The letter asking this information
speaks of Maine as one of the first
states to engage in this progressive
movement of teaching the housewife
how to properly budget her expenses,
and indicates that the Chamber of
Commerce program is one that will
result in distinct benefit to the State.
The State Chamber of Commerce in
troduced this system of cooperation
with the banks in the preparation of
the household budget through Mrs.
Allan P. Stevens, manager of the
home directorate Of the State Cham
