A PICNIC AT DEANS MILLS.

Dear Cornerites: Have not written for a long time but have read your letters each week. Glad to read one of Etta B's once more, and l hope Ma of Greene Gables will come home soon, for l am sure we all miss her cheery letters. Glad she could have vacation at the beach. spent mine at a beach this year and enjoyed every moment. Each morning after breakfast I stretched out in the hammock, with book or papers, though I didn't do much reading-for I just had to watch every boat out of sight, and was much interested in the Plant seasled, which can be heard before one can see It, and after it has gone from sight one hears the motor for few moments.
 There were a number of airships flew over while I was at the beach, and enjoyed that sight also, and most fun of all was watching the bathers and there were more elderly people in the water than young ones every day. friend who was with me one day was shocked at ! some of the bathing suits but I think the suits are much more sensible and prettier 1 than those of 20 years ago. There were two or three women who wore old style | suits, and they were more conspicuous ! than any of the others. and furnished me with a number of good laughs.
 
 l took me for a long auto ride. One day we went to Deans pond q believe it is | called) and no doubt some of the sisters know the place, and I wish all of the 1 Cornerites could see it. My friends had seen the place before, so knew what we were coming to, but it was a pleasant surprise for me. We drove over a beau tiful road throuzS the woods and first l of all I saw a stone seat beside the road a bit further and another seat, 8 tree stump which was decorated with a bunch of flowers in a can. Further or there were number of ferns fastened to tree trunks. Then we came to the best of all-the pretty body of water and the real picnic grounds. Here we found ta. ple and benches. fire places and the ledge | with seats on top overlooking the water | It certainly is an ideal place for picnic and I know of some people who motored down there from Norwich and ate theil supper there.
 I should want one supper before started and another after I arrived. have enjoyed many pleasant motor tripE but Deans is the prettiest place I have seen in Massachusetts, Connecticut oi Rhode Island. I hope I can go there again and next time I shall sit in every one of those seats. They all look com tortable
 Deliah Deal: often make your rota to candy and recently I have learned who you are. You and my mother were friends when you were girls. My moth CT was thirteen when there was a party In your town she would come over iron Lisbon and spend the night with you Your initials then were D. c.

Dear Editor and Corner Sisters: It seems as if so large a family ought to be able to fill the Corner page each week. but many like myself probably are not equal to writing, while others are busy and other interests claim their time and attention so the Corner is not written to as often as one would Ike But among so many there are those who can write often and I hape that they win do so
 We were glad to read something re- gently from Etta Barber and Balsam Fir and we would be pleased to hear
 from Aunt Mshitabel, Aunty. No. i, Married and Happy. Becky, No. 1, Biddy and all the old writers. Wa also want new ones to write often and we want to read and hear what both the new and the old writers have to say. It has been a discouraging season in this vicinity. Fruits and early peas were
 failures on account of the late frosts and the drOughts. The la-e vegetables

Mr.. Sly got red in the face. And

And 50 she sat down on a big log by

her lunch basket, and she and the

But the best Of all were the two

And never again would he cat chicken.

ART POSTER CONTEST

1t wasn't merely a matter of put
ting the posters up before the COM
mittee and saying "give 'em the once
over. You might have thought that
maybe they did too, but when judges
Chas. Knapp, G. A. Wheeler and G.,
p. Kimberly lined them up and start
ed to "go to it" they found they were
in "up to their ears.
There were some twenty-oSd post
ers handed in by the Art students of
the grade and High schools and it
was a matter of serious contempla-
tion to decide just which ones were
to receive the prizes. Even then the
pros and cons which sailed forth
were deserving Of any Art Critics
magazine and the final decision of
the judges came after much rebate.
Everyone who saw them displayed
as a whole in the window of c. A.
Wheeler's Dry Goods store and ev-
erybody who has since seen them in
the windows of the various mercan-
tile establishments in this city, have
favorably commented on the splendid
work and interest shown by the tai

Although each participant could
not be awarded with the final ma

is attached to those others who COM

MAKE SPECIAL OFFER
INTRODUCE BREENUT

Brednut is the result of twenty
years experience in the manufacture
of nut butter. 1t is the final work
of an expert who has been response
BILE for most of the other nut buffers
now on the market and it therefore
is the finest product Of the kind that
has ever been perfected.
Brednut is not intended To be
merely substitute for butter. 1t is
better than butter in great many
ways. 1t is absolutely uniform in
quality; it is maze in a faultlessly
clean factory under Government su-
pervision; it is made only Of the
choicest vegetable. products, the
cream of selected cocoanuts being its
chief ingredient In texture, flavor,
richness and appearance on the table
not even experts can distinguish it
fro m the choicest, freshest creamery
butter. Only Is per cent of all the
creamery butter that is produced can
equal Brednut in the qualities re-
quired for a perfect butter spread.
Brednut is sold on a strictly money
back guarantee. Any package that
is not entirely satisfactory may be
returned and the price will be refund
making this guarantee because Bred
nut is churned fresh daily and stays
fresh long enough for even the small
lest family to use a pound.
To induce every housekeeper in this
city, whether she has been using
creamery butter, country butter, nut
butter or oleomargarine to try Bred
nut, all dealers handling this product

of Brednut for "a cents and introduc-
tory coupon, which the dealer will
supply on request. This coupon offer
is good only until October 20, 1921.
We therefore suggest that you ask
your dealer at once for one of these
coupons and secure a pound of Bred
nut at the special Introductory price.
So that housekeepers will give
Brednut a thorough trial. dealers al
so are authorized to present a pound
free Of charge to every customer who
turns in five empty Brednut cartons.
This offer is good until November 26
1921. It thus enables every house
keeper to secure at least one free
pound of Brednut. Homes where a
great deal of butter is used will have
the opportunity of securing two or
more free pounds Of Brednut within
the time specified. A free pound will
be given for every five empty car
tons turned in to the dealer.
Every reader Of this paper should
be sure to take advantage of these
two remarkable offers. These offers
in themselves indicate how much con-
fidence the manufacturer has in his
product and how good a product IL
must be.

MRS. BRUCE FALES
ANSWERS SUMMONS

The many frien&s of Mrs. Bruce
G.. Fales were shocked to learn, on
Monday, morning that their highly
esteemed friend and neighb6r. had
passed out Of earth life at her home
at ia Hanover street, at III o'clock
Sunday night after having battled
bravely against disease for the past
nine weeks. While Mrs. Wales con-
dition had been critical for some
time, her leath was in a way unex-
pected by her friends as the sreious-
ness of ner condition was not gener-
al.y understood. During her illness
everything that medical skill, good
care and loving hands and hearts
could do, was cone, but death proved
the victor.
Funeral services were held this
afternoon at the house at 2 o'clock,
Rev. A. II. Lash, of Lake Odessa,
who was her pastor while. she was
resident Of Lowell officiating, as
sisted by Rev. w. j. Rookie, of this
city. Burial was in Green's cemetery
where her father, mother and brother
are resting.
Surviving and left to mourn the
great loss of devoted wife and
mother are the husband and two
daughters, Martha, aged ,12 and Car
oline, aged years. A brother, Will
liam Bradley, Of Orleans, also sur
vices.
One could meas sure the worth and
esteem in which the friends Of the
deceased held her, from the noun
tains of roses ana other flowers which
were received at the house and which
banked and covered the casket in
which the remains reposed.
Mrs. Fales had lived in this neigh
borhood practically all her life and
had also lived in recent years at
Greenville, Lowell and Hastings
where Mr.. Fales had been engaged in
the furniture and undertaking busi-
mss prior TO their moving back to
this city.

sympathy of the entire community
