SCOUTS ARE ACTIVE.

The Boy Scouts of Milford are begin
ming to take more interest in the organi-
cation with each meeting. Last Friday
evening the boys were put through
some very interesting tests which will
prove very beneficial to them in after
life. They were taken out on a short
hike by one of the scout masters, during
the course of which they stoppedin front
of four different store windows in the
business section of the town. The scouts
were give one minute for the Observa-
ton of each window, after which they
went back to their headquarters where
a written test was held to ascertain
how well the boys could remember just
what they had seen. They were asked
to describe each window in detail, ex-
planning the location of articles and
other such questions. OF the large
number of boys who took the tests, a
high proportion of them passed with
very high averages. Such tests as these
are of much benefit to the boys, who
will be taught the close observation of
things in this manner.

OYSTER SEASON OPENS IN OCTOBER.

Those familiar with the oyster indus
try state that this season promises to be
a good one. as the bivalves have grown
rapidly, and the supply seems to be
abundant. OF course the fattening con
ditions will greatly depend upon the
meteorological conditions should there
be copious rainfall, then the water viii
be ''freshened, as the oyster wiseacre
states it, and the oyster will fatten
quick. The MispilliOn oysters have
delicious flavor, but the tongers disre-
gard the laws so persistently, and catch
oysters below legal size, that we seldom
get the MispilliOn oyster at its best.
Enforce the laws, and everybody will be
benefited.
