%, and found the amount reduced
to 655 pounds. and nitrogen was re-
duced from 48.1 to 27.7 pounds or
almost one-half was lost. The ex-
periments emphasize the necessity
of putting manure on the land as
soon as possible. It is sometimes
piled up and allowed to heat. thus
destroying much of its value. 1t
must not be forgotten that much
Of the value of manure and all

days arose, and to make the stu
alton still more serious the engine
refused to work.
Driven to desperation the men
rigged their bed clothes into a sail,
and with piece of timber for a
mast, set sail before the storm sub
sided, with the thought of reaching
a place where food could be had.
Drifting almost helplessly for
many hours, and about exhausted
from efforts in bailing water from
the boat to keep it from swamping,
they came in view of the lights Of
the fish camp on Eliza island.
Nearly two hours more elapsed be-
fore they succeeded in attracting
the attention of any one on shore.
When this was finally accomplished
a boat was sent to their assistance
and the famished men were carried
to one of the island bunk-houses
and given food and dry clothing.

The Booster Meeting

The booster" meeting at the
court house Monday evening, called
for the purpose of discussing the
matter of organizing civic league,
or improvement club, was we'll at
tended and considerable enthusiasm
was manifested.
After some inspirit.ng music by
the band. [. J. Irwin, who has been
an active and efficient worker for
town improvement and at whose
suggestion the meeting was held,
arose and after stating briefly the
object OF the meeting called fer the
election of chairman. Postmaster
Kirby was chosen. upon motion Of
DR.. Capron, and v. W. Frits was
made secretary and Ross w. Tulloch
treasurer.
At this point it was rather hastily
proposed to make the temporary
organization permanent before its
purposes were defined. name Sc
lected, or list of members secured
showing who would have a right to
vote upon any matter, These very
important preliminaries were called
ito the attention If the meeting by
DR.. Wright and upon motion the
chairman appointed a committee
consisting of Dr.. Wright. Mrs.
briggs, Mrs. Isaac Sandwith, Gene
G. Gould and O. H. Culver to ex-
anime the constitution and by laws
of the old commercial club and re-
port as to whether they might. with
some minor changes, be used for
the new organization. The COM
mittee retired and soon reported its
unanimous opinion that it would be
advisable to report for considera-
ton at later meeting q coistitu-
tion and bylaws conforming in "a
general way to the Improvement
club ideas which have been success
full in many communities in the
state in which civic clubs are main
tanned which have representation in
what is known as the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Improvement Clubs. ="
The committee was continued to
prepare plan of organization in
accordance with this idea.
With a view to ascertaining how
many of those present would be-
come members of the proposed or
ganization and pay a membership
fee of $1.00 a written pledge of
such cooperation and payment was
circulated and received forty-one
signatures and Mrs. briggs and E.
H. Nash were appointed as COM
mittee to enlist the support of res
idents of the community who were
not present at the meeting.
A small balance in the treasury
Of the old Commercial club was
turned over to the new organization
and donations Of funds belonging
to St. Barnabas Guild and the La
dies Alert Club were also promisei.
or mentioned as probable.
Dr.. Capron made the very sensible
suggestion that the club concen-
trate its efforts ut the outset upon
the accomplishment of some def
mite object, such as the requirement
Iof park and picnic grounds, and
fgo after it until it gets it. as the
East Sound Improvement Club has
done in the matter of the Mt. Con-
stitution road.
The members were asked to at
tend the next meeting. next Mon
day evening prepared to express
their ideas as to WHIST the Gu .
should first endeavor to do for the
improvement Of the town.
