Canning Company Closes Run.

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, Sept. 22.-The run Of the
Hampton Kelley Canning Company
this season was just three weeks, 4
somewhat shorter season than usual
occasioned by the dry weather that
prevailed in this locality during the
growing season. During that time
the total number of cans put up was
1,s40,344, or about 7s,o0p cases. A con-
sentative estimate of the retail value
of the product Is above 100000. OF
this amount the greater part will coma
to the people OF Franklin county, maxi
ing this enterprise among the most
important Of any of the county as az
fecting the income of our citizens.
The greater part of this has already
been sold-some seventy carloads,
leaving only about six cars of it yet
to be offered for sale. One grower
near Coulter, N. K. Petersen, states
that his corn went over five tons to
the acre, and he is SO well pleased
with the returns that he will probably
put in forty acres next year.

School having closed a Camp Fire party, including myself, had decided to spend our vacation at Camp Mo hogan in the northern part of Maine, and. accommodating about fifty girls.
 I had only money enough to pay for one months board, but I was told that there was to be a swimming race and the successful contestant, would be allowed free tuition for the rest of the sea son.. How wished I would be that particular person.
 Besides fishing. rowing, and. other delightful sports, I spent at least two hours in swimming. At last the event. ful day arrived with hopeful antici- pations, but | failed to pa ss the. test was disappointed and I thought T would have to go home, but good pros- poets were in store for me. J.

With : out thinking of my own danger, I dove into the water, grabbed the girl by the collar, and floating on my back. soon reached the row boat. Having de- posted the girl in the bottom of the boat my friend roWed and at last we reached the shore where medical aid was secured. This escapade gained for me free tuition for the rest of the term.

 Arriving in. the woods they seated themselves to rest. After being seat ed moment they. heard a faint noise above They got up softly. one climb ed the tree and saw a nest with five eggs in it. It was well made with straw, hair and mud. After giving the mother bird some crumbs they start ed to go home and decided to come later to- see. if the eggs had hatch ed. ti
 They also saw robins. orioles and bluejays and came home very hap py.a ~. s.S-

The Story. of a Soldier.

They were great comrades. were Henri and Jacques. All through the war they had been together. Now they were in the front line at Ypres.
 Henri was a tall and splendid man, but Jacques was only four inches high. He was made of lead and wore a gay red and blue uniform. Now Jacques was given to Henri on his fourth birthday. Henri was a very lonely child and often said: Jacques is my friend. He will always stand by me-
 But when the war began Henri was among the first to join the noble French army. But" said he, T can not leave my brave Jacques at home. He, too wishes to fight for France Sc he had taken Jacques in his pocket.
 At last came day that a great thing happened.
 At last there was a rush to go 'Over the Top" Henri felt a stabbing pain over his heart and everything grew dark. All day he laid there with many others that were dead and wounded.
 When night came two stretcher- bearers creDt out among them. He found Henri and when he was exam ined the broken pieces of Jacques were found in his pocket. The little soldier saved him. ''Only a toy soldier!" you say. No, real soldier. because he did his bit by saving a life for the allies and liberty.

 Three times the play had to be postponed. Our play became the school joke. I came to dread to meet a high school pupil, and hear the question (put with a knowing smile)
