The Gardiner Humane Society was
founded in 1906 under the direction
of the late Hon Herbert VI. Heath
Of Augusta. in whose hands the ORR
ginal fund for this purpose was plac-
cd. Tho society was incorporated
and known, for the name Of its hcnc T.
factor. as the Sophr0nia NJ. Hopkins
Association for the Prevention of
Cruelty t. Animals. The first meet
ing was held at the office Of DR..
Gertrude L. Heath. Mr.. Heath. who
presided, stated that although the
fund in his hands for the society
was generous. the income produced
would he too small for very extern
sive work and it appeared to him as
though the greatest amount Of good
could be accomplished along eduCa- :
tional lines and with the young, who
hight be educated to become nature
loving and thus obtain greater kind
ness for dumb beasts. From the
results that the intervening years
have produced it may be clearly seen
that this idea was an excellent one.
Following this line. books were
placed in the libraries of the public
schools and this has been continued
UP to the present day. More than
1000 volumes have been placed by
Gardiner and the surrounding towns.
All degrees Of nature study and ami
NAL life have been covered by these

IMMENSE POWER OF MUSIC
There ls Almost No Limit 10 Ito In
fluenoe on the Human
Soul.

Musicl The dictionary defines it
as "The science Of harmonious sounds
melody or harmony" The tide OF, bat
tie has been turned by the Science
OF harmonious sounds and to hear
some old familiar melody has often
resulted In soothing the troubled
heart
Music can call the patriot TO the
defense Of his country; can enthuse
anew the worshlper at the shrine;
can call the lover to his beloved
can fan into flame the dying eInbers
Of the fire In the enthusiasts breast.
There Is no limit to the power Of
music over the human soul.
The world needs music-muslc "
the soul; music of the heart music
II the voice music Of the spirit.
There are people who can't sing, yet
they can be moved TO tears or laughter
by the words Of some simple melody.
Some people sing their way through
rlfe, and such people have wonder
full influence on the lives Of others.
Music can have nm almost magical
effect In producing the desired re-
suits. In fact, the Imagination falls

An ingenious scheme for Kidding our

His plan is to train harmless insects

flies. Experiments which have been
made met with considerable success.
1t Is well known that certain Insects
are the enemies Of other creatures
which are garden pests. They lay
their eggs In convenient spots, often
In the actual nesting places of their
enemies, and when the young come
