Easter Ball Proves
Tremendous Success

The Easter Ball held Monday eve
ming atsthe Strand Theatre under the
auspices of Kennebec Local, Internal
tional Brotherhood of Paper Makers,
No. 70, was a tremendous success be-
sides being the big social event OF
the season. Between three and four
hundred people were present.
The big room of the theatre was
decorated in a most artistic manner
by the members of the union in Eas-
ter colors, purple and white. On the
stage end of the hall there were three
arches and over them in large'white
letters on purple background was
"Kennebec Local i. b. of p. M. NO.
49," The decorative scheme also in
cluded the walls as well as the CELL
ing and in addition to the loops OF
purple and white, Easter bells and
lilies. This work was done under the
direction of Charles N. Clifford or
Union and was said to be one OF the
most beautiful ever seen in this vi
cinity. Music for the evening was
furnished by the Douglas Melody
Boys of Augusta. The dance order
was a long one and included both old
fashioned and modern dances.
At o'clock an Easter banquet was
served by the Ladies Aid in the
Congregational church dining room
to the Paper Makers and their guests.
During the banquet there was con-
cert by the Augusta orchestra.
C. N. Clifford was chairman Of the
committee of arrangements and was
aided by Charles Adams, Lawrence
Baxter, George Donna, Lewis Ingalls,,
David Burleigh, Clyde Baxter, Thorn
as Keenan,, John Mcnamara, ]. j.
McCray, Ralph Gilman, and Joseph
Wiley.
The best of order prevailed and
there was nothing to mar the enjoy
ment of the large company present.
Ivan McKenney, who is employed
in the paper making department of
the Great Northern mill, had a mar
row escape from serious injury Mon
day evening, when he caught his
hand in the winder but escaped with
bad bruises.
Messrs. H. c.: Prince, Herbert w.
Ladd, and Emory C. Duckworth went

Fish Screen at Outlet of Moxie Lake

on under extremely difficult weather
and water conditions and much credit
is due Cyr Brothers for their in
dustry in carrying the work to COM
pletion during the winter months.
This screen is built entirely of con-
crete and steel and embodies massive
piers supporting a rugged screen of
bar iron strung on steel rods with,
spreaders between the bars to permit
the passage of water. One section OF
the screen, in the way of the sluice
gate, Is provided with a substantial
hosting gear, whereby this section
may be lifted up to permit the driv-
ing of logs when necessary.
The screen was designed by John
Burleigh, civil engineer of Water
vile, and it was constructed under
his supervision.
With this screen functioning and
as the waters are being stocked
heavily with trout and salmon there
is reason to believe that the fishing
will show a vast improvement.

The rank and file of Wall Street
is plainly mystified as to what is be-

of rumors, some of them Question
ing the financial stability of various
individuals and firms, were in circu-

every drastic reaction in prices and,
lacking confirmation, little attention

While speculation for the rise un-
questionably had been overdone in

correction of a weakened speculative

Portland District
Health Officer Talks
On "HOusecleaning''
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Portland, March 80 - "Spring
housekeeping" from the standpoint
Of it's benefit to health was the sub
ject Of the weekly radio health talk
delivered by DR.. J. L. Pepper tonight
from station WCSH. DR.. Pepper said
in part:
During the winter when the ground
Is covered with snow, we do not see
tho writ which has accumulated, but
when warmer weather comes and
the snow melts, we begin to see the
accumulation of dirt and other things.
Each spring In many communities
throughout the State and Nation a
certain week has been set aside as
cleanup week. During this week
efforts of town officials and indi-
viduals are centered in removing ex-
cess accumulation of the winter
months. There are really two re-
suits obtained by this campaign:
First the yards, streets and com
munities are made more attractive
and inviting; and, second, the ac-
cumulation of dirt and refuge. which
becomes breeding places for flies and
mosquitoes, are removed and these
dangers of health are eliminated.
The proverb Prevention Is Better
Than Care is almost a platitude,
but its practical application has only
been learned of recent years. OBJ
viously 1t Is better to prevent man
from being run over by an automo-
bile than to subsequently set his
broken bone. 1t Is better to prevent
a child from being blind than TO
specially train him in special
school. 1t is better to prevent a
child from having ricketts, than to
perform orthopedic operations on the
young adult. 1t is better to feed a
child and give 1t a fit house to live
in than be obliged to attempt to re-
pair it's damaged lungs in a tuber-
culosis sanatarium.
Spring cleaning Is good for the in
dividual and the community because
1t removes dirt and all kinds Of ref
use which are obnoxious to the sight
and which may become breeding
places for flies and other insect
beavers of disease. The annual ply
steal examination allows one to dis
cover any defects in the most Won
derful machine yet made and en-
ables us to remove these defects or at
least alleviate those which cannot lie
cured. This spring overhauling to-
gether with the receipt just given
will enable us to live better, clea ner.
and longer lives than we have before.

Bunched Calls Keep
Local Firemen Busy
Tuesday at Noon

Four fire calls, three of them with
in a period of 20 minutes. kept the
members of the local fire department
busy on Tuesday. The ball was start
ed rolling at 1886 Tuesday noon,
when telephone call started the
combination truck for the C. w.
Hutchinson house at 1875 Sewall
street. While the men of that crew
were busy extinguishing a chimney
fire which required the use of three
pony chemicals, another telephone
message was received at the Hart
ford station at 12.45, this time from
the Augusta City hospital The hook
and ladder truck responded to this
call and found another chimney fire,
which was quelled by the use of the
big tank on the truck. At 1855 the
third call came, this being for CHM
ney fire at the home Of w. L. Hay
den on Jackson street, within a few
hundred feet of the Hutchinson house
from which the first call was receiv-
ed. This call was answered by the
combination truck which had just re-
turned to the station, but 1t was
not found necessary to use any
chemicals to care for this blaze.
The call at o'clock Tuesday was
to the garage of S. c. Marley at II
Stone street where fire had caught in
the flooring underneath stove. 1t
was found necessary to tear up some
of the flooring and four small chem
icals were used to extinguish the
blaze. The exact cause Of the fire
was not known as there was but a
small fire in the stove. The chauffeur
stated that he had smelled smoke
there most Of the day but after look
