Southwest HarbOr,

Miss Emma Gilley came from New
ton, Mass, where she is spending the
winter with the family of Loring
Marshall, to attend the funeral of her
grandfather, John H. Gilley. After
a few days at home, she will return
to Newton.
Mrs. Hattie Taylor, who has spent
most of the summer with her sis
ters at Bakers island and Cranberry
island, has returned to spend the
winter with her sister, Mrs. Alice
Gilley.
Mrs. Ezra Lurvey has been seri-
ously i'll but is little improved.
Charles E. Cook has also been i'll
for a week or two, but is now slowly
gaining.
John Carroll, mason, has been do
ing an excellent piece of work for
Judge Smith, whose summer resi-
dence at Somesville has been re-
paired and improved, making a most
attractive home. Mr. Carroll, with
his crew, has built a cement reser-
voir seven feet square and put a rock
wall above it of fine field stone,
pointed with black. 1t is ornamental
as we'll as useful.
The death of John H. Gilley on
Wednesday evening, Nov. Z, after
only few days illness, removes
another highly esteemed citizen. His
death is deeply regretted, not only
by the home circle, but by host of
friends, who always found him
CHEEKY, genial man, ever ready to do
a friendly turn, and a kind neigh
Dor and affectionate father. Mr..
Gilley was a son of the late William
and Phoebe Gilley, the last of
large family, his youngest sister, Ma
tilda Sugatt, having died recently at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ella
May BOothby, in Las Angeles, Cal.
His wife, Emeline Mason Gilley,
by whom he had son and a daugh
ter, died many years ago. He had
since made his home with his son.
He will be greatly missed by his
grandchildren, to whom he was
greatly attached. The funeral was
held at the home Friday, Rev. o. L.
Olsen officiating. His brother Masons
conducted the ritual services.
There was a profusion af beautiful
flowers. Deep sympathy is felt for
the son Andrew Leverett, and his
wife, and the daughter, Theo Lima
Smith. Interment at Mt. Height.

The fruit stand is glowing with apples.
Red Goals of the fires of the autumn
| buy them. and smile at the vendor
IhouSh never seems he such an alien
AS when he is selling me apples.
He composes so we'll with the melons,
With oranges, grapes and bananas
Pomegranates, plums and ripe olives
And lemons and citron and Spices
But he's not in the picture with
apples
The fruit of the soil of the North
land
Slow growing, deep-rooted, abundant
one has to be patient with apples;
But how they repay for the waiting
With burden of fruit in the autumn!
In my childhood l played in an orchard,
Knew apples from lowering to
fruitage,
Till the crimson and gold globes grew
mellow
And ripe for the cleaning and storing.
| see now the farmers, brown shirted
Tall, lean men with serious faces,
Firm, sound. and fine favored. like an
pies.
l hear the keen wind through the
orchard,
The rustic of leaves and dry grasses,
The thud of the fruit in the baskets
| see the deep blue sky of autumn,
The haze on the hills in the distance,
The sheen of the sun on the river
The beauty and charm of the home
land
All here in these mounds of ripe
apples!

Glorious Season.

THESE unuSuaI weather cOn01GlOnS
in Germany, not duplicated in the
memory Of man. have turned what
threatened to be disastrous fall
ure into glorious season for the
farmers.
Yet with these abundant crops,
Germany is hungry. A sight Of
this vast yield in all sections Of
Germany gives one the impression
that there will be enough for all,
and something to spare. But it is
not enought, according to those in
a position to know.
One Of Germany's greatest
granaries was stripped from her
and given to Poland. Another was
given to France. Since that time
the aRricultura1ists in what remains
OF Germany have been able to sup
ply their own needs and the needs
of one.third Of the industrial cen.
ters. Food stuffs for the remaining
two-thirds in the cities had to be
secured elsewhere. So that, despite
ali the vast harvest that is now be
| ing stored in the barns, the most
loptimistic cannot figure out how il
can go around, unless the miracle
OF the loaves and fishes is repeated
| Possibly this years harvest, sc
much more abundant than in many
years past, will provide for one
half the needs of the industrial cen
| ters. instead of one-third-tfat is
the most optimistic prediction thai
is being made.
And where, they ask, is the other
half to come from2 The govern
| ment will, of course, make ,exten
/ gt,yo roYIrchaSeS of grain in the wOrlG
markets. But that will mean thai
the price of bread will still be high
during the coming winter-not as
high as last winter, possibly. or

4 stable currency-but almost prohib

There is much hunger in Ger

FEAST CHANGED IN MEANING
Jewish Passover Originally Asricul.
tural Festival-Now Refers ri.
rectly to Escape From Egypt.

The Jewish festival of Passover com.
memorates the release of the Hebrews
from Egyptian bondage. The festival
opens with a household ceremony.
called the Seder, at which a collation.
Is served and various religious rites
performed, including a recital of the
events of the Exodus, from a special
ritual service compiled for this occa.
sion.
Originally Passover was an agricul.
tural feast. At later period it be-
came ASSOCIATED in part from its prim-
tive nature and came to refer direct
iy 70 the escape from Egypt, which in.
vested the festival with the new and
highly significant spiritual message of
liberty for all mankind.
In the synagogue the note of spring
Is reflected in assigned scripturai
reading wherein the worshiper is re-
minded that the winter is over. This
is in harmony with the purpose of the
Passover, which is to recall to mind
the many miracles which were wrought
in behalf of the House of Jacob by the
never-slumbering guardian and keeper
OF Israel. Israel is hidden, through
the annual message of Passover, to
work for the eventual triumph of hui
mainly over the tyranny of injustice
and miquity.-Detroit News.

Age of a Fish.

The size and weight of a fish are no
indication of its age. Its length of
life is revealed, just as that OF tree
is, by its rings. The fish has an.
nuai rings also, but not in it's body.
Put a fish scale under magnifier and
you notice the scale is covered with
little rings-some close together and
some farther apart. When the fish
grows slowly because its food is
scarce and the water is chilly. these
rings lie close together, but when its
food is plentiful and the water is
warmeii and the fish grow bigger
quickly-as it were, stretches its skin
with good feeding-then the rings on
the scales lie well apart. Each of
these rings represents one year In the
age of the fish. There is another way.
1t is by tracing out the markings on
what are termed the earstones of the
nsh-the tiny hard things in its inner
ear. Put these earstones under a
powerful microscope and you see tiny
light and dark rings. Every light ring
tells of one years growth. So by count
Ing these light rings you arrive at the
