GATHERING CRANBERRIES.

1t was on a bright, crisp morning
about the middle of October that
Phil Barner and his father walked
down to the dock and stepped into
the old dory to make their way
down the coast Of Cape Cod to the
vast swamps where cranberrles
grow.
While his father rowed, Phil was
interested in watching the beauti-
full gulls circling down toward the
water. He saw a large fishhawk,
or American osprey, swoop down
almost in front of their boat, cap
ture good sized fish in his tai
ems. and make off toward his nest
on the shore.
After a time they came to the
cranberry patch that was almost
like swamp. for the bushes grew
in the damp sand which at some
times of the year was flooded with
water After tying the dory, they
took their baskets and set out to
gather the round. red berries.
do you know. Phil" said his
father. that Cape Cod of Massa-
chusetts and Ocean and Atlantic
counties of New Jersey supply
more than one-half of all the cram
berries sold?
Some Of these very berries
growing here are to be packed in
sealed bottles or kegs filled with
waetr and sent to Europe. The In
dams had queer use for these
berries. They made poulitces OF
them and put them on wounds
made by poisoned arrows. They
were said to draw out the poison
and heal the wound"
II guess mother knows a better
use for them than that" answered
| Phil. She'll make jelly or Gran
| berry sause for our Thanksgiving
| dinner.

of asking a young man to call

What mas become of the Duck
Creek Hundred Law and Order Society
which was organized during the local
option campaign? They held meet
ing or so, elected officers, and ad-
journed. Nothing has been heard of
it since. Has it gone to sleep?
There is not an officer but who could
find work to do if they would stir
around a little. There is drukenness
and disorder every Saturday night,
and while the conditions of things
are not to be compared with those
under a no-license system, still there
are infractions of the law going on
all the time which should come under
the direction of the Law and Order
Society as we'll as our town officers.
But the present status of the Law
and Order Society is simply moth
ing and those who like "the booze"
know it only too we'll.

We understand that a petition is
being circulated to present to Smyr-
ma Town Council asking that the paw
ing of Main street be extended from
Chestnut street to Hamilton's Lane
a distance of 300 or more feet. The
opportunity was never more ripe to
make this extension than now and if
Council can see its way to do it, they
should grant the petitioners request.
Council has, however, under consider
alton the matter of macadamizing
Mt. Vernon, South and Delaware
streets and the redressing of Com
merce street and the citizens on those
streets have had the promise that they
would get some of the benefit of r9et
improvement which has been going
on. This is right. Council should
not disappoint the people in this mat
ter, but if Council can see its. way
clear to make finished job of the
vitrifed block on Main street they
should do so now while the contrac-
tors are working on the street. 1t
can be done better and cheaper now
than probably ever again.
Smyrna times., 1909-08-04

"Where is the greatest activity
in village improvement found? Is it
in towns where the minds of the
people are sluggish, where a "don't
care" policy prevails, where much
illiteracy abounds? Never. Shift
less habitsg lack of pride, Indifference
to appearances-these are character
istics of dead towns and dead citi-
zens. Wherever you find well-cared-
for property, decent lights, sood
pavements and streets, clean paint
and live town feeling--there you
will discover a people who have a
purpose in life beyond mere existence.
They think. Their brains are active,
their minds alert, and realizing that
their town is their home-their abid-
ing place-their first thoughts are
for its welfare. A town is only
collection of separate dwellings, and
single places of business; a congrega-
tion of individuals living within GER
tain boundaries. But it is character
lied as good, beautiful, substantial,
orderly, thrifty, progressive or poor,
unattractive and behind the times
according to average only. A few
well-cared-for houses a few modern
standard places of business, a few
citizens with progressive ideas, a few
people with local pride cannot alone
maintain a standard for a COM
munity. Their ideas, their conduct,
their mode of doing things, their
loyalty go into the common lot" But
the majority, the grand total of good,
bad and Indifferent counts. 1t fixes
the average.
"How important it is then for
every citizen to- hold his end up" for
the common veal. How easy it is for
each resident of a community to do his
share in producing a fair result. If
he simply cares for what is his; if he
takes pride in the appearance of his
own property; if he obliges his busi-
ness patrons; if he is kindly disposed
toward his home people, and has a
feeling of real soicitude for the
good appearance, the good name, the
good standing of his town, he is do.
ing his part. He is beneftting him
self, he is encouraging others and
he is helping to raise the average o.
the whole place. What a combina
tion of such efforts would accomplish
it is needless to suggest. -Middletowl

if a. close vigilance is kept and farm

however, are contending that there
is no need to have their cattle in

in this respect is annoying to che

should be placed around the stock
