rather dIlapidated house on the edge
OF the village and had little to do with
anybody. Once In while he would
give his views ON the one subject that
employed his thoughts to an evening
company at the corner store, but no
one paid much attention to them. His
one idea. was that charity began at
home, and the popular opinion that In
McKeefrey's home It stayed there.
There was also = general opinion that
In McKeefrey's home 1t was not very
much needed. The old man was not
much on dress and he seldom went
anywhere or seemed to indulge In any
Of the. non-necessities or Injuries Of
life, but he was supposed to have

thoughts inward and inclosed himself
In q shell Of selflshnesa He was the
sole inhabitant of his little world and
charity was his servant; the only needs
he really believed in were his own
needs; to their supply and protection
his means were eopsecrRted.
Bat now AcKeefrsy was strangely
interested. Something Of old sympathy
and youthful feeling stirred in his
crusty heart. He was touched by the
thought Of boyish anticipations and
afraid for the disappointments that he
foresaw. He remembered that once
his own heart had been warm and
hopeful. that he had made effort for
good and sent out dreams into the
future. There came back to him :
sense of the bitter and biighting frost
that had chilled and deadened him, and
there sighed In his soul faint hope
that happiness might visit him again
in his effort to bestow 1t upon others.
1t seemed a sweet and desirable thing
to him to honor the faith that was
causing Tim to reach out into the

Further Fire Blight Warning
(By F. M. Green)

Growers are warned TO continue Ia
watch for indications of fire blight not
only on apples but also on the pears.
It has appeared in both the spur blight
and the canker form. The cankeTs are
not definitely outlined as in other dis
eases and gum is also found on the sur
face. Wherever it appears the affected
parts should be cut out and burned
Immediately and the wound disinfected
as advised in last weeks paper. Grow
ers along the East Side of the Lower
Valley and also those in the Middle
and Upper Valley should keep a close
watch for this disease as the affected
area is slightly larger than that Of last
year. In one case an entire tree was
dying from the blight.
Any growers finding this disease or
any condition suspected Of being blight
are requested TO notify the county
fruit Inspector.
