sThe Peace of Roaring River
"The Peace of Roaring River" is
the story of how a young American
girl without any practical training
was suddenly thrown upon her own
resources by deaths in her family and
forced to combat with enormous hard
ships and daily discouragements in
struggle for existence in New York.
After a year of struggling with all
kinds of work in which her good looks
instead of an asset proved only an
attraction for repulsive employers,
she became ill with typhoid fever
After leaving the hospital she sold
her last treasure. her mothers dia-
mond ring, and went to Canada in
answer to a fake matrimonial adver-
tisement.
On arriving there she found a hos
pitable kind-hearted people who were
entirely new to her after New York
with its hurrying, grasping, unmerci-
full crowds. Here she met Hugo En-
mis-, nursed him through a long and
dangerous illness and at the same time
fell in love with him.
1t is a story in which the extreme
ly cold weather of Ontario is only
by the warmth of the peO-
pies hearts-a story where a girl at
the lowest ebb of her resources and
her vitality took the one chance in a
hundred and found supreme happi-
ness.
1t is by George Van Schaik.

D. A. WA!te & Sons were somewhat

D. A. Wh5te & Sons were somewhat
interested this morning when upon open
ing their feed store for the day they
found someone had hurled a brick thru
one of the windows facing the alley
and entered the building. The prowler
had apparently not taken anything from
the building, as all flour, grain, etc,
seemed to have been undisturbed. Mr..
White stated one or two smaller sacks
of flour might have been taken with
out them being able TO notice it, how
ever. The money till of the cash reg
lister was left open for the night, con
tanning a half dollar in an envelope
and two or three dozen pennies. 1t was
not touched. The prowler left his muddy
footprints ON thegrain bags over which
he had climbed in entering and making
his exit from the building. A dry-cell
battery had been used to pound off the
ragged edges of the glass left in the
window after the brick had been thrown
through. The affair appeared as though
it might have been the work OF an
amateur, or else the would-be burglar
was frightened off before he had had
time to go over the contents of the
building. This is the first time in the
27 years that the firm has been in bust
ness in the city that the building has
been entered.

Some peoples "hind sight" is bet
ter than their "fore sight" However,
here is a case where the foresight is
good. City Recorder Race says: ~
would like to see the Boy Scouts, the
Y. NJ. G. A. and the advanced classes
of the various Sunday schools of the
city organized to take care of the har-
vest this season. By organizing under
one head, labor can be directed and
utilized to the best advantage. We are
going to be short of harvest help this
season, and it will probably require the
services of all the men and women and
children of the entire valley to harvest
the fruit and berry crops this year. The
smaller children can help in much of
the work. Now is the time to perfect
the organization and get ready. Head
quarters should be established some
where.'
