week is planning to make an exhibit
at the NassalLoro Grange Fair. This
exhibit VIII consist Of a number of
colorcd plates illustrating diseases
of apples, and Mr.. Yeaton will be on
hand to explain the remedy for the
various diseases.
Regarding the fruit exhibits at the
several fairs in Maine this fall, Nh.
icaton stated Saturday that the
quantity was small but the quality
in almost every instance was better
than in the past years. This is part
~ due to the fact that the exhibitors

do not bring fruit which would not
get favorable mention.
The largest apple exhibit at any

attended this fall. was at the oxford

WHOLESALE THEFTS
FROM PORTLAND CHURCH

Portland. Oct. 1i.-Wholesalc
thefts of table linen and silverwarc
from the Congress Square Uniycr-
salist church have been discoyer red
with the opening up of the actiyi-

approximately $50 knives and the
same number OF forks. and 200 or
more spoons disappeared, together
with dozen or 10 tablecloths, but
aprons and other articles which were
packed away awaiting the Christ
mas fair have been pilfered.
The theory is that these articles
were taken sometime during July or
August. when the church was closed
and no services were being held, AS
the silver was all of the plated va
riety. and some of the tablecloths
which disappeared were mercenzed
rathen than real linen. the church
authorities are puzzled to know what
motive the thief may have had.
Plated silver cannot be easily dis
posed of, and certainly few people
household use.
The unusual nature OF the articles
which were stolen therefore lends
the chief element of mystery to the
case, and it is also matter of puz
element why the thief should have
wished to make way with g:ng';am
and calico aprons and small fancy
articles, the disappearance of which

various church organizations open

Value of the missing articles is

Results of Milk
Campaign in Schools

Interesting results which have
been obtained from the milk lunches
provided in various schools OF the
state. are described in letters re
ceiNed by State Dairy Inspector For
rest \. Barbour OF the State Depart
ment OF Agriculture. This health
movement which is generally fos-
tered by women's organizations in
the communities, is advocated by
the State Department OF Agriculture
and the dairy inspector renders ev-
cry possible assistance in seeing to
1t that clean and pure milk is sup
piled.
In a letter to Mr.. Barbour, kath-
crime b. Smith. school nurse in the
city of Bangor, states that the milk
feeding has not only improved nu-
triton OF children. but has been a
means of persuading many children
to take milk. who heretofore have
refused to drink it.
Chester s. Kingsley. health officer
at Bath. writes Mr.. Barbour that in
October 1921. the school children of
Bath were all weighed and at that
time the results were as follows
Overweight. 456; underweight. 745:
normal, 1872. Three months later the
children were weighed and the re-
! suits were as follows: Overweight.
516: underweight, $50; and normal,
900.

high with the fruits of your toll, your indus
try, intelligence and your love. After while
it comes time to transplant them again-this
time in field, where they are to grow, each
by itself, in rows brave and self-conf-
dent
The field must be prepared for the cabbages
You hire man to do the work and he seems
to take no end of pains. He plows and he
harrows and drags and enriches the soil, buys
fertilizer to put on it, and then he cultivates
it, harrows it some more, hoes it into hills,
and then OH days of days! when it comes time
to set out the cabbage crop. There is great ex-
citement attending the setting out of the cab
bages. Country neighbors drive past and smile
to themselves. They doubt the soil, Neighbor
farmers are acquainted with the soil of your
farm, but they never tell you; you wouldn't
listen if they did. You always resent their
sordid ideas about your farm. They are so
material, caring nothing for hay with golden
rod in it and scorning the lovely back-eyed
Susans and the wild carrot that makes such q
picture of the bayfield, even when your artist
friends come out from town to make can
vases and snapshots of it and you convert it
into pastoral yourself; caring nothing,
these experienced neghbors, for your grotto
and your wonderful quaking bog that is so
entertaining to your city friends; ignoring
your glen and the brook, the cascade and YOUR
hickory tree with nuts on it.
After you have set out all your cabbapes in
rows, in orderly fashion, so that they look as
correct on the bias as on the straight, then YOU
water them. The poor little things! How
they droop and look so lonely and 80 forlorn
and sad. Of course, it is large field, and it
takes long time to give every little orphan
cabbage drink and an encouraging word. b,t
with your vision of crop you become faith
1ul farmer and you do not begrudge the work.
