BAN FLOWER IMPORTERS
Bringing in Orchids and Other Rari-
ties is Forbidden

The loyesiclS swain is going to find
It more and more difficult to Say it
with flowers''--at least with orchids
ported from distant points-for
these much coveted blossoms are no
longer being brought into this coun-
try. Last July the Government
stopped the import into this country
of any plants which have soil at
tached to their roots, and the sit
uation is becoming really very seri-
GUS. for the demand is much greater
than ever before.
The reason for the embargo is that
the experts in the Department of
Agriculture believe that blight
which has affected our forests was
brought here in the soil which clings
to the plants. and rather than take
any risks the importation of such
plants has been strictly forbidden.
OF course, that affects the bring
ing in of orchids, and the supply of
orchid plants has of course dimin-
ished, and it has not been possible
to add to it for over a year. AS it

naturally the supply is much re-
'stricted and hitherto has been re-
plenished by imported plants. How
ever, Mr.. Meyer said that much at
tention is now being given to rails
ing these plants here and after sew
eral years he believes we will have
orchids quite as beautiful as those
brought from the tropics.
Fortunately the Government pro-
hibition does not apply to seeds OF
bulbs. Mr.. Meyer says that the lily
of the valley bulb is beginning to
come back again. The best of the
lily of the valley bulbs used TO come
from Germany. and since for more
than five years none of them have
been available. this popular little
flower has been extremely scarce.

Faunee hal suffered q shock. SO thai
one side was paralyzed, but no wa5

garding his visits to MIR. Faunee when

FOOL THE CUSTOMS OFFICERS
Canadian and Maine Farmers Said to
Have ingenious Systems Of Snug


Entirely aside from questions of
tariff reform, reciprocity and free
trade with Canada would help to put
an end to the constant lawbreaking
that goes on along the borNer. II Is
estimated that eight thousand persons
are engaged in smuggling goods
across the line.
One instance has been reported in
which a party of schoolboys coasting
in an old pung down a hill that slopes
across the boundary, apparently for
fun. brought with them at every trip
chest of tea, until fifty chests had
been struggled into Maine, contrary to
law.
Again, an "aqueduct"s small lead
pipe, half mile long. was secretly
laid from . tavern in the Dominion to
public house on the other side Of
the line. through which hundreds of
barrels of gin and other liquors were
pumped. Nor are such "aqued1 cts
always restricted to liquors. A wood
en- spout was used for years to con-
vey oats across the boundary.
The lawbreakers were New Bruns-

neighbor across the line name1 Arm

hundred bushels of oats on his farm

However, it is something which is
not bestowed upon a man as a gift,
but instead, it is thing for which
he must fight. There comes time
in every mans life when it seems
that the entire world has turned it's
back to him. At such time his out
look is exceedingly black, but, if he
fights his way through, he fRds him
self many more steps upon the lad

have often heard people say that
such and such person is a very sue
cessful banker, merchant, or sales
man. / do not believe that because
man comes to a prosperous termi-
nation of anything which he attempts
that proves that he is successful.
When each and every one of us were
born it was intended that we should
hold an honorable position in some
activity at some time. By honor
able positions ! do not necessarily
mean a position which would make
people look up to one such as COVER

steadfast and by no means disgrace
full. If we do not come to this, we
simply-fail.
Success does not necessitate
wealth. Many men have millions in
money but, at this same time, few
scattered friends, perhaps because
the millions were not achieved hon.
estly.
To me true success means this:
When / have made just one friend;
whom / am assured will stand by me
and fight with me through the black
est of troubles, and will always be
willing to help me in time of need,
then and then only, will be con-
tent to consider my life as success
