corn for the canning factories, but corn for
general purposes, which means that less money
will go out of the State for western corn. To

Frank Coe fertilizers, standard since 1857, and
manufactured only by the Coe- Mortimer Co. of
81 Chambers street, New York, whose Maine
factory is in Belfast. The Coe- Mortimer Co.
is offering cash and fertilizer in prizes to en-
courage the raising of corn in Maine, particu-
lars of which are given in the advertisement
on the 7th page. 1t offers $500 in prizes for
the most profitable acre of field corn raised in
New England during the season of 1911.

bulbs and seeds, and had recitations and songs
appropriate to the day. 1t is the first Arbor
Day for many years that the B. H. S. Seniors
have failed to plant class tree; but Monday
afternoon they set an elm on schoohouse
common near the band stand. There was no
special program. The tree, which was deco
rated with streamers of the class colors, red
and white, was named the Quimby elm, in hon.
or of Miss Elizabeth A. Quimby. the Latin
teacher. The name, date of planting and
names of the class members were placed IN
bottle under the tree.
