Field Secretary's Big Task.

Samuel A. Moffat, Field Secretary of
the Boy Scouts of America. will under
take three important missions in the
next few weeks. He will go to Balti-
more, and make study of the situation
in that city and throughout Maryland,
with the idea of putting both the organi-
cation in Baltimore and in Maryland on a
permanent basis. After that he will go
to Boston to help in the perfecting of
the plans for the Boy Scout work in the
next year. 1t is estimated that about
$4,000 will be needed to carry on the
scout activities and to build up the Or
ganization in the greater city of Boston.
1t will be Moffat's work to meet business
and professional men of Boston, and get
them to contribute money. A similar
task awaits him in Chicago, where there
is tremendously enthusiastic scout
work being done, and where the cost of
maintaining a paid secretary and of
carrying on the organization work will
probably amount to $25, All the
money raised in the different cities is
expended locally. No contributions are
made by the local councils to the National
Headquarters of the Boy Scouts of
America

GOOD BYE SUMNER OF 1911.

Summer has gone. with its fruits and flowers.
With its fields Of green waving grain.
How swiftly have passed their bright sunny
hours.
Which never will return again.
Last night in watching the sunsets bright hue
With its golden after glow in the heavens.
And the cool night breeze seemed to whisper
adieu,
Fair summer of nineteen hundred and
eleven.
This morning we looked on the trees SO fair.
With their beautiful golden red brown
leaves
And thought how we fade, like the leaves out
there.
With the frost of lifes chilling breeze.
We walked to the bank of the river, fair.
Dear old Penobscot, we love so well.
All nature seemed to be whispering there,
Dear summer, fair summer. farewell
The seasons roll on. the years come and 60.
Till time shall ring his last bell,
And rest will be sweet to US there we know,
When we've said our last final farewell.
Thus time glides on with the weight of the
years,
With its SORROWS and joys, tears and signs,
Till our weeping is over, and morning appears,
Where we nevermore shall say good bye.

The November Strand contains a very

The November Strand contains a very
striking article entitled "a Vision of
Gold" by the well-known English statis-
tician, John Holt Schooling. Mr.. School
ing bases his article on a single cent
placed out at five per centum compound
interest, A. D. l. The sum which this
single cent would amount to at the close
of the year 1910 is almost inconceivable.
One illustration alone will suffice to show
the colossal growth of an American cent
in I,9lO years. The value if turned into
specie would be sufficient to make &c, 600
millions of spheres of solid gold, each one
being equal to the planet Earth in vol
ume! Another article of interest is con-
tributed by Charles Frohman on "Play
Writing" There are stories by W. w.
Jacobs, Barry Pain, Richard Marsh, Ar
thur Morrison, Tom Gallon and other
well-known writers. ''Some Dickens
Discoveries is an article dealing with
the origin of persons and places to be
found in Dickens's works. The Char
acter Studies of Well-known People" is
an interesting novelty.

The Blaisdell Apple Orchard.

Everyone will admit that six thousand
apple trees, all in full bearing and all in
prime condition, would be quite a sight in
the most noted fruit section in the coun-
try, but Maine people do not have to
travel outside the State to see such an
orchard. 1t is found in the town of
Winterport in Waldo county, and is own
ed by Lincoln Blaisdell. The trees are
all young and were all set by Mr.. Blais-
dell, who is still a young man and who
will without doubt live many years to
enjoy the reward of his labors in setting
them. 1t is estimated that the crop this
year will bring 81, B. Walker Nc
