daily round, flooding this section-of the old
earth with goide nlstreams OF light.
Last night. or evening, got my auto ready
for spin to be taken to-daysthrough the
country. About twenty-five Year, ago l took
once-a-month drives through this same coun-
try. practically over. the same roads, behind
. span of spirited horses. To-day we will
view this country from auto. Then we went
over dusty, dirt roads; now we win ride over
macadam boulevards nearly all the distance
OF ninety -four miles to Elsinore, and
imagine shall see great changes otherwise,
for the desert has blossomed ::as the rose in
the meantime.
Later-We have taken the aforementioned
drive. and what have seen is a revelation to
me. l had not expectedAto see SO great 3
change in the face of old mother earth in this
section. The transformation aof the desert
like country as l saw it twenty FIVE years ago,
to extensive, well-watered and highly cult
waited acres, large vineyards and orchards
and extensive fields Of alfalfa, the FIRST crop
of the season partly harvested. "How sweet
the new-mown hay.smellsl" exclaimed my
niece, who has recently come from her home
in Maine.
Our trip took us through country and small
CiiiSs. we went tue iOOtDii route, returning
by the valley, thereby obtaining views of
grand scenery on every hand, and to cap the
climax, we climbed an inverted corkscrew--a
small neutrality-suspicious. auto on easy grade
to its peak.
o, what an inspiring view we got from
that eminenee! There was everything of
landscape fer miles around and beyond in
that picture, including silver threads of
winding streams and rocky points along their
courses. My niece twas at loss for words to
express herself, SO filed was shewith rapture
wish that you and all the sisters could look
upon it.
The other evening we met at Smiths The
older members of this Smith family resided
in Hancock at a time when red schoolhouses
were common and bob-sleds were in general
use in winter. We not only met at Smiths,
but we also met Lamoinites there, with whom
we spent pleasant three hours. Capt. Fred
Hodgkins and wife and his wife's sister were
there, and they showed by their beaming
countenances that they were enjoying the
climate and beauties Of southern California
They had also been to the San Diego fair, and
were on their way to see the larger one at
San Francisco.
There were eight of us Mainites at Smiths.
Two once had homes in Massachusetts,; but
we were all in harmony on this occasion
After we had talked and talked, the Smiths
treated us to ice-cream and cake. We parted

Dear NJ. b. Friends:

Dear N. B. Friends:
We should thank L. E. 7. for the telp-
full poem she has sent US. 1t is often
the case that it is the trihes, the little
things of life, that cause people the most
annoyance; or, let me express it little
differently, people allow the trifies to
annoy them. 1t would be difficult thing
to establish q standard measurement Of
the passing events of life. Great results
hinge oftentimes on what seems . trivial
matter; so it is hard to classify life's ex-
periences..

SULLY'S COLUMN

The Stafford Chamber of Commerce
has now been organized five months
and has eighty-fve members in good
standing. Nearly every business man
in Stafford is a member and an active
one, and the Chamber of Commerce is
big success. The Chamber of Com
merce has a well-equippcd Office and is
able to give the members some return
for the money they are paying each
month as membership dues.
Stafford has very little land for sale
and the result is that no big effort Is
made to boom real estate. Every busi-
ness man has something to do and NJ
time to give to the affairs of the town
he is living in. except out side of busl-
ness hours. Here Is where tire secre'
tary can save the members their tire
BY taking care Cf details that are i'm
portant to the community. but not I'M
pOrtuGt to any one individual.
1t is a pleasure for the secretary &c
collect his membership dues each month,
aS every member is a booster and only
too glad to do his share for the organlza-
ton. New members are coming into
the fold each week and they are ap-
prcci&ted, gs they come unsolicited and
because they want to be connected with
the organization that is trying to help
ard boost each and everyone in the COM
munity.
II. A. McBeath, one of the leading
merchants of Geronimo, was caller
at the Chamber of Commerce office
last week and filed his application for
membership, stating that he would be
very glad to become member of the
Stafford Chamber of Commerce, as he
thought it was trying to do things and
lie was in favor of anything that would
mean progress for the county. Mr..
McBeath lives at a distance of over As
miles from Stafford, and when Cham
ber of Commerce can impress its worth
on a business man at that distance, 1t
is no wonder that every man in Stafford,
who has money invested in some buSi-
ness, is an active member and booster.
The members of the Stafford Chamber
OF Commerce are entitled tG the SER
vices Of the secretary, Joe Sullivan, at
any and all times, and if they don Il
take advantage of it, they have only
themselves to blame. Service is the
slogan and watchful eye is always
open at the Office of the Stafford Cham
ber of Commerce for anything that
will mean dollar or favor for its
members.
