Boys and Girls Clubs.

From the bottom of tho list, Oxford
has risen to eighth place 10 the relative
standing OF the counties In enrolment
of boys and girls' clubs this spring, bav.
ing passed Washington, York, Knox,
Lincoln. Aroostook and Waldo. The
total enrolment In Maine up to May 10
was 1889. May and June are the banner
months In organization of clubs. The
state leaders are making the rounds OF
the counties and through the Farm Bu-
reau and local leaders, assisting to bring
this years enrolment up to, II not In
excess OF, the total OF $3.50 reached last
gear. The county agent is confident
that Oxford will have an honor place In
the list when the seasons enrolment is
completed.

WILD CREATURES DREAD FIRE
Impossible to Eradicate Fear Of the
Red Flame From Denlzens OF
tho Wild.

Man Is the only animal who has
made friends with the fire. writes DR..
Henry Van Dyke.
All other creatures, In their natural
state, are afraid Of 1t. They look up
on 1t with wonder and dismay. It
fasclnates them, sometimes, with its
glittering eyes in the night. The squir-
rels and the hares come patterlng
softly toward 1t through the under
brush around the new camp. The
deer stand staring into the blaze Of
the jack while the hunters canoe
creeps through the lily-pads.
But the charm that masters them
is one Of dread, not Of love. When
they know what 1t means, when the
heat of the fire touches them, or even
when its smell comes clearly to their
most delicate senses, they recognize 1t
as an enemy. Let but trail Of smoke
drift down the wind across the forest,
and all the game for miles and miles
will catch the signal for fear and
flight.
Many Of the animals have learned
how to make houses for themselves.
The cabin Of the beaver is a won
der Of neatness and comfort, much
preferable to the wigwam Of his Indian
hunter. The muskrat knows how thick
and high to build the dome Of his
waterside cottage, in order to protect
himself against the frost Of the COM
ing winter, and the floods of the fol-
lowing spring. The woodchuck's g house
has two or three doors; and a squir-
rers dwelling is provided with a good
bed and a convenient storehouse for
nuts and acorns. The sportive offers
have a toboggan slide In front Of their
residence; and moose In winter make
a yard" where they can take exercise
comfortably and find shelter for sleep.
But there Is one thing lacking In all
these various dwellings, fireplace.
Man is the only creature who dares
to light q fire and to live with 1t. The
reason? Because he alone has learned
how to put 1t out.

AMONG THE FARMERS
"sPxED THE PL0w.'

Two Frogs.
(Holman r. Day.
There lived two frogs, 20 I've been told,
In quiet wayside pool;
And one Of those frogs was blamed bright
frog,
Now q farmer man with big milk can
Was wont to pass that way;
And he used to stop and add drop
OF the aqua pure, they say.
And Il chanced one morn In the early dawn.
When the farmers sight was dim,
he scooped those frogs In the water he dipped
Which same was joke on him.
The fool frog sank In the swashing tank
As the farmer bumped to town;
But the smart frog dew like tug-boat screw,
And he swore he'd not go down.
So he kicked and splashed, and he slammed and
fhrashed,
And he kept on top through all;
And he churned that milk Ii drstclass shape
In great big butter ball.
Now when the milkman got to town,
And opened the can, there lay
The fool frog drowned; but hale and sound,
The kicker he hoped away.
Moral.
Don't fret your life with needless strife,
Yet let this teaching stick;
Youth find, old man, In the worlds big can
1t sometimes pays to kick.

SYRUP GROWERS
TO MARKET 1921 CROP.

The producers of cane syrup In
South Mississippi have completed
an organization that has for its OBJ
iect the marketing of the 1921, and
succeeding crops of cane syrup in
business-like manner and so as to, as
nearly as possible, meet the demands
of the trade. The organization in-
cludes all the counties that produce
any great surplus of this product
and will control approximately one
hundred car loads of syrup this sea-
son in South Mississippi.
Hancock County, as a member or
the state association, has completed
its local organization and will mar
ket rs per cent of the crop for this
season. Orders have already been
placed for three car loads of cans in
which the crop will be packed.
1t is generally conceded that the
homegrown syrup in South Missis-
sippi is superior product that
compete favorably with any similar
product on the market. However, its
sale has been restricted on account
of lack of uniformity, the size and
type of package usetd and the lack
of any system of inspection or guar
antee wherein the buyer could be
protected against the purchase of an
occasional poor quality package.
The new association has ample
working capital, and proposes to
stand back of every package sold
with their guarantee of quality, to
pack their syrup in uniform pack
age that can be shipped with safety,
place an attractive label on all syrup
marketed and render every service
that the buyer has a right to expect.
