ut takes all sorts of things to bring

the other corner of his mouth. The
other occupants sat silently, surmising
that story was coming, recounts
writer in an exchange.
knew young fellow over East.
Father had lots of money Son did not
seem inclined TO add q great deal TO
1t by working, but made several dents
In the family purse by his spending.
Not that he was a bad boy at heart
only thoughtless. Sometimes | think
the rich father was attempting TO
make business man out of man
never intended for that sort of life. The
boy did not seem to be able to find his
niche. Said to me one day when he
had gotten confidentiar: You know.
my only fear is that / am not going to
make something out of myself that will
make dad proud of me- And the two
surely did love each other. One day
the hoy asked the father for several
thousand dollars. 1t was forthcoming.
Then he asked the father to cash a
check for some money left him by his
dead mother. He got that Then the
boy sort of dropped out of New York
life.
Next thing / knew he was q lieu
tenant in the aviation section of the
army. He had bought two airplanes,
taken them down into the country to
one of his fathers farms and learned
to fly. Guess those that knew him
thought 1t was another of his money
burning ways. But when he thought
himself competent he went to the gov
eminent and simply said: Here am,
ready for any service you may have for
me- and the government took him up
N hurry. He may be in France. But
you should have seen that fathers face
light up every time he mentioned that
COY. And when he does get back from
France he and his father are going to
be greater pals than ever, if that be
possible.
Now | am not going TO say that
many young men are going to have
about $50, 600 at their beck and call to
demonstrate that IL only needs the oc-
.aSion TO make men out of them, but /
10 say that there are scores OF young
men doing just as much or more"

 The Junior shipment proper con sists of layettes, shoulder shawls, and children's garments, many of them made from old clothing. Mrs Faulkner, chairman of the School Committee reports that the Juniors are doing excellent work and the making very credita ble shipment Miss Scott, who has charge of the work in the Juneau Public Schools, has devoted much time and energy to the work, while Mrs. w. l..

 The Juniors again wish to empha size the fact that all cast-Off clothing donated to the cause should be thor oughly cleaned before being sent to them. Discretion in selecting the garments contributed for the pur pose of remaking will be of great assistance to the work, likewise. Some garments cannot be remade to advantage, nor are they usable in their original condition. Such gar ments are of no real value to the work.

mine, at BluehiIl, Maine, which was ac-
CURED early this year b. the American
Smelling & Refining 20, has been estab-
lished on shipping basis to the extent
OF about 5000 tons Of ore monthly.
Since purchasing the property the Guy-
genheims have installed a small mill from
which the product goes as concentrates to
the Perth Amboy plant to be used as fiux
The Bluehill ore runs very low in cop
per values. but carries considerable sui
phur making IL desirable for fiuxng pur-
poses at the big Guggenheim works in
New Jersey.
The property. 1t is estimated contains
about 5000 tons OF ore with value to the
new owners only in its fiuxing qualities
An earlier generation witnessed a min
iature copper share boom which extended
from about 1877 to 1884. Blue Hill and
Sullivan in Hancock county were the CEN
tiers Of Names copper furry, which at its
height was the basis for two mining or
changes in Bangor. Attempts were made
from time 10 time to reopen these mines
but until the present none were succes,.
