Historic Hub Street
Yields To Progress

Boston, May "a. P.)-Sunlight
has returned to Governors Alley,
which for 81 years has been known
to Boston as Province street. The
little, narrow thoroughfare, with its
15-inch sidewalks on either side,
runs Though 4 part of the city rich
in tradition. Crossing from Brom-
field street to School street, parallel
to Washington and fremont streets,
the old roadway may be best re-
membered by visitors by the pictur-
esque flight of stone steps leading
down to it from one end Of Bos-
worth street.
The street is now being widened,
letting in the sunshine where for SO
many years the shadows have lain
heavily under the close, high walls.
Landmarks have gone by the board
in the work of improvement. A
pathetic old sign, Province Inn"
which once stood for mirth and
joviality, liquid and other refresh

mantled wall to the last, was one
Of the landmarks to go.
Unless efforts being made to save
them prove successful, the old stone
steps, surmounted by their orra-
mental iron arch and lamp, are
doomed to go also.

FEATURE PICTURE, 1.-THE WHITE SISTER"
OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO LOCAL FOLKS
SCHOOL TEACHERS
ENJOY SOCIAL PARTY
At Stubs HOME

What without doubt was the most
generally participated in and enjoy
able social event of the school year
in this city for the teachers and the
several school officials, as we'll as for
the group Of citizens who assisted
the hostess in entertaining, was the
open house Wednesday evening at
the lovely home Of DR.. and Mrs.
Richard H. Stubs on State street.
About 120 members of the teaching
staff of the Augusta schools. and
special guests, were present and the
entire evening was one of exceptional
pleasure.
To facilitate sociability. and to as
sure everyone present of knowing
everyone else. the hostess, Mrs. Rich
ard II. Stubs, divided her guests
into ten groups with either a shep-
herd or shepherdess assigned to each
group. Delightful informality char
acterized the evenings events. and
the reception was a success in every
way.
State Librarian Henry E. Dun
mack was the speaker of the evening
and talked most interestingly on the
Maine born poet. Edward Arlington
Robinson. Mr.. Dunnack's remarks
were made particularly interesting
by the many quotations from the
works of this noted literary gentle
man. Another exceptional feature of
the program was the rendition of
several selections by Mrs. Philip
Stubs. Mrs. Stubs is always
pleasing as vocalist, but her num-
bers last evening were more than
ordinarily charming. Mrs. Stubbs
was accompanied by NJ. 1sadore
Braggiotti, who was the special
honor guest Of the occasion.
The Florentine maestro contribut-
ed no little to the enjoyment of the
musical features of the program.
both by his playing and by his inter-
polated remarks in illustration OF
several of the numbers.
Very delicious refreshments In
Guiding ices. cakes, and punch were
served by the hostess and her as
sisting staff, and in the latter part OF
the evening the entire assemblage
joined in group songs, which gave
the party a delightfully."- informal and
Jolly character. For the community
singing, Harrison Lyseth was the
piano accompanist.
Those. who assisted Mrs. Stubs as
the shepherds and shepherdesses last
evening were Rev. Andrew T. Nc
Whorter. Mayor Ernest l.. Mclean,
Judge Robert A. Cony, Judge Will
liam H. Fisher, Robert Williamson,
as shepherds: and Miss Alice Rey-
nolds, Mrs. Blaine S. Viles, Mrs.
Ernest L. Mclean, Mrs. Joseph Will
hanson and Mrs. Robert Martin as
shepherdesses.

modern street" with its 15-inch
sidewalks and cobblestone paving.
e Originally 1t was country lane.
After the royal governors who came
from England to rule the colony of
Massa chusetts, had descended from
their carriages at the Province
House On what is now Washington
street. the horses were driven
around to the stables on Governors
Alley" Now, the slice of land being
added to the street, is cut from what
once was the governors apple
orchard.
On this site the first Catholic
church to be erected in Boston was
built in 1888. Nearby was the
Second Universalist church in 1917,
and it was there that the renowned
Rev. Hosea Ballou was ordained
and preached. The entrance from
Bosworth street was once Mont
gomery Court. named in honor OF
General Montgomery who lost his
life when he tried to take Quebec.
1t was on Bosworth street that
Oliver Wendell Holmes lived when
he wrote 1.-THE Autocrat of the
Breakfast Table" Bosworth street,
itself. up to 100 years ago. had been
occupied by the gardens of fashion
able mansions in fremont and
Bromfield streets.

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Many soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much free alkali which is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It is
inexpensive and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get this at any
drug store. and few ounces will last
the whole family for months.
Two or three teaspoonfuls is all
that is required. Simply moisten the
hair with water and rub 1t in. It
makes an abundance of rich. creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly. and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy. wayy.
and easy to manage. Besides. 1t
loosens and takes out every particle
OF dust. dirt and dandruff.

EXTENSIVE ALTERATIONS AT AUGUSTA
COUNTRY CLUB MAKE FOR CONVENIENCE
AND ATTRACT|VENESS HOUSE AND GROUNDS

stead of having to pass through the
dining room as was formerly done.
The ladies' porch. which Is to be
screened in, is situated on the east
side Of the main club house.
Just to, the rear of the serving
room is q large kitchen extending
the entire width of the house, fitted
out with especial regard to facility
in the cooking and serving OF meals.
An addition has been built upon one
side of this kitchen. in which the
the dish washing will be done and
other work such as freezing ice
with this addition is a large refr1g-
orator where ample provisions for
several days may safely be kept.
Mems Room Feature
Next to this kitchen comes the
mems room, which has been much
enlarged. A screened-in porch has
been provided on the east side Of this
room for the men and the floor or
both the porch and the mems room is
of soft wood, so that they may en-
Joy it's use without the necessity Of
removing their spiked shoes. This
feature will be greatly appreciated.
The stair way leading to the locker
rooms has been partitiened off, so
that it is in reality two stairways, one
for the men and one for the women.
The locker rooms remain much the
same, except that another room has
been added for the women in which
about Is new lockers have been plac-
ed.
The new location Of the golf shop
will be found of great advantage. 1t
has been placed in the end Of the ball
room next the car sheds. A partition
has been erected and racks have been
put up so that the clubs may be pro-
perly taken care of. The novel part OF
this plan is that one half of this par
tition is hinged so that in event of a
ball, this partition may be swung
back and the orchestra may be placed
in the golf shop, thus actually cutting
the dancing space but slightly.
A small aperture in the wall OF the
golf shop is so fixed that when a
caddy is wanted. it Is necessary only
to call him and the clubs may be
passed to him through this aperture.
When play is finished the clubs may
be returned the same way, thus avoid
ing the crowding due TO having sew
eral caddies in the shop at one. time.
The caddy house has been placed at
the far end of the car shed. One stall
has been partitioned off and fitted out
with a toilet and lavatory for the con-
venience of the boys. who although
out of the way, are within easy call
and are better taken care Of than ever
before.
Attractive inside and Out
The interior of the entire building
is to be redecorated and awnings will
be placed upon the porches, so that
the club house will present more
attractive appearance than ever be-
fore.
Arrangements will be made to tenn
porarily take care of the members
before the official opening of the club
house which will take place about Me-
mortal day or the first of June. Tt is
planned to open the dining room about
May 25.
Play is now possible as temporary
green's are open and seven holes are
in use. Frank Gilman, the Augusta
pro" stated Wednesday that the en-
tire nine holes would be ready for
play on Saturday

Keen Rivalry Between
A. & X. Employees Intent
On Agricultural Pursuits

Although he feels that there is no
money in raising sheep. as one of his
fellow workers Is reported to be do
ing, one of the employees of the An
droscoggin and Kennebec railroad Is
said to. have taken up hog culture
in an extensive way.
According to the report of some
OF his friends, which however has
not yet been verified. he has recent
ly procured one of these red headed
little swine. known as Jersey pigs.
and 1t raising II by hand. 1t was de-
clared by one who Is thought to be
in a position to know. that each day
the porker Is taken from his pen,
and weighed. His increase in
weight Is noted with Us much JOY
as the growth of first son might
occasion and he is kept spotlessly
clean, and manicured at all times. A
careful supervision of his diet Is
working wonders and the cost of his
food is also tailed. To date the
owner claims that his blue blooded
piggy Is showing returns OF two dol
lars for every one spent on feed, at
the present price of pork.
It is understood that Lima beans
are OF especial value in raising and
fattening this particular breed OF
hogs. and so this man is intending
to plant q large number of beans
of this variety so that the hog may
be properly fattened this fall. How
it Is intended for the hog to get the
beans from the tops of the long poles
upon which they will be trained. has
not yet been stated.
Keen rivalry is now developing
between the one who has started
sheep ranch with q fine little lamb,
and the other who is going to put
Armour's nose out of joint by raising
his own pork. Their co-workers on
the road have divided into factions.

lamb, and others for the red headed
pig, and all are intent upon that day
when 1t shall be determined, which
was the best paying proposition of
