Mrs. Cora 0reenIeaf.

Mrs. Cora NJ. W. Greenleaf died at bel
home in Norway village at about six
O'Clock Sunday morning after long
period of failing health. The cause OF
death was Bright's disease, but the end
was without doubt hastened by asthma
with which she was great sufferer.
Mrs. Greenleaf was the daughter OF
Thomas and Emily Whitman and was 81
years of age. Her mother survives bel
and has cared for her during her long
illness. One brother, Charles Whitman,
also lives with the mother at the OLD
home.
She is also survived by another broth.
or, Oscar Whitman, of Boston, and two
sisters, Mrs. Edith Day Of Oxford and
Mrs. Fannie Roberts of Wolfboro, n. 81.
The funeral will be held at the home
Wednesday afternoon at l:3O attended
by Rev. C. G. Miller of the Universalist
church, and burial will be at Pine Grove
Cemetery.
Mrs. Greenleaf had more than local
reputation as poet and many OF bel
poems have appeared in the local paper
as we'll as in various periodicals. Some
of the poems have been set to music, and
she has bad several requests from pub
fishers to get her works into such shape
az to permit of their being published 10
book form. While she has never com
piled with this request, her poems are OF
such merit that 1t ia hoped that some OF
her relatives or friends may now under.
take this work. Her talent in this line
was unusual, and her poems were OF
high standard, giving emphasis to the
better things of life and her faith in re-
ligious matters.

Basket Ball.

Norway High played its game az
scheduled at Berlin Friday night, but the
game at Gorham was cancelled, as the
Gorham boys we're unable to secure a
suitable place in which to play. The
game at Berlin resulted in victory fol
the home team by score of 3s to 20, and
although defeated the Norway boys have
no reason to feel ashamed of the game
they played. The high school team does
not play this week, its next game being
scheduled with Rumford at that place
on Dec. 31st.
Once again let US remind the basket
ball fans OF the game that takes place al
Norway Opera House next Saturday
night. The Norway High School team
of last season with all the old favorites,
SANDY" poodle" "Shep," "Father"
and Jake" will again be seen In action,
Opposed to them will be the Portland
Independents, q team that played them
three times last winter and each time
gave fine exhibition of fast, clean bas
ket ball. The players on this team are
we'll known here and have won the re-
spect of all by the kind OF games they
have played.
Every one should see this game, and
there Is no question but all will get theil
moneys worth. Reserved seats 90 OF
sale at Stones Tuesday morning.

Or. Twltchell On Apple Costs.

AT tho ali-Qey meeting OF fArll
Grange Saturday, the principal feature
of the afternoon program was . talk BY
DR.. George NJ. TwItchell of Auburn on
"The Cost of an Apple"
During the past eight years DR..
Twitchell has been renovating and car.
ing for an orchard of old trees, and has
kept accurate account of bis costs. Fig.
ures deduced from bis records have al.
ready been published, and were given by
him In detail Saturday, along with .
running fire of explanation, comment,
aud some answers to questions.
Averaging the cost of care OF the trees
for the eight years, which includes
pruning and clearing out borers, ferti.
lizing, spraying, cutting grass, ETC., he
finds that the cost has been IS IA cents
per tree yearly. Estimating the value Of
the trees at $40 each, he allows 90 cents
for interest, reckons Q per cent for de-
probation and loss on the trees, and
other items for depreciation on machin-
cry. and taxes, bringing the yearly cost
per tree to s160.
Taking up the harvesting part Of the
business, DR.. Twitchell then figured, for
barrel and harvesting cost, GO cents per
barrel.
Now, said DR.. Twitchell, what does
this make the cost of barrel Of apples?
1t depends upon how much crop Is Sc
cured per tree. How many orchards
produce more than one barrel per tree?
By caring for my trees, l have made
them produce more than that, but the
apple trees of the state as a whole do
not produce one barrel per tree. II the
trees produce one barrel each, my ex-
perience makes the cost Of barrel of
apples 1925.
DR.. Twitchell said that bis work had
not been continued long enough to be
conclusive in estimating costs, but on
the other hand mentioned that the fig
ures in a recent government bulletin
were misleading, as they were based up
on the abnormally large crop OF 1914.
II these figures show anything, they
show that we must either cut down our
orchards and 60 into something else, or
we must increase the yield. Then we
shall find that 1t costs 80 much to care
for the orchards that we must get more
for our apples. That means that we
must stand together. Did you ever see
farmer go into the market and fix the
price on his own goodsp Did you ever
see man in any other business 60 and
ask his customers what they were will
ing to payp
The speaker said that while his re-
marks may have sounded somewhat dis
they were intended only to
call attention to the Importance of know
ing costs, and that he believed there Is
profit in the business, properly handled.
DR.. Twitchell advised purchasing trees
only of dealers who would give sufficient
including ten-year guaran-
tee that they are true to name; and ad.
vised setting the kinds that do best in
the vicinity, and not over three market
varieties.

Eosa.PaImef.

The marriage of Carl T. Foss and Mis-.
Edith E. Palmer took place at the
Norway Congregational parsonage
Thursday evening, Dec. 10th, ct sever
O'Clock. Rev. Robert J. Bruce performed
the ceremony, using the single ring ser.
vice. The bridal couple were attended
by Mr.. Scott Palmer, . brother Of th'
bride, and Miss Alta Hall.
Mr.. and Mrs. Foss are two OF Norway
most highly respected young people an6
have many friends to extend to them
their best wishes. Mr.. Foss is the SOC
of Walter E. Foss, is q graduate Of Nor
way High School and has for severa
years been employed by the Norway and
Paris Street Railway, now having charge
of the Norway power station during the
day work.
Mrs. Foss has been employed as house
keeper in the Foss home and has wor
the esteem and admiration of the com.
munity by the faithful way in which she
has cared for younger sister since the
death of their mother.
The wedding was of quiet nature,
and the young couple will continue to
make their home with Mr.. Foss' father.
In fact this wedding was 50 quiet that
the young people thought they bad fooled
their friends, but alas, this was not to
be, and much to their surprise they
we're serensded by Q goodly number OF
people from that section of the village al
q rather late hour that same evening.
Tin pans and any other noise producer
that could be secured were the instru.
ments that brought forth the sweet
music. Mr.. Foss grasped the meaning
of the demonstration at once and pro-
duced the cigars a. soon as his younger
brother could get to q store and back.
After receiving the "treat' the sere'
naders went on their way rejoicing, and
felt that that they bad again demon.
strated the fact that Murder will OUT
and that secret weddings are q hard
thing to accomplish.
