Mr.. Merry Sun had just slipped be-
hind the Western Hills as Little Jack
Rabbit went clipperty clip, lipperty
lip down the\Old Cow Path. All of a
sudden. just like that, from the sky
overhead came harsh cry. "Quank.
quank!" went Great Blue Heron, slow
ly winging his way through the deep
ening twilight toward the Old Mill
Pond.
"Ha, ha," laughed Little Jack Rab-
bit, there goes the big sky fisherman.
I hope Granddaddy Bullfrog will see
him in time," and away went the bum
ny boy, faster than ever, to see what
might happen. He didn't want the old
gentleman frog to be surprised. No.
indeed. But the little rabbit need not
have worried. Granddaddy Bullfrog
knew thing or three and maybe four
or five.> He watched Great Blue Heron

Among the many interests which
occupy the attention of club women
at this time is the helping to make
the days of the women on our iso-
lated and remote islands on the
Maine coast more comfortable. and
more pleasant as we'll as productive.
This is one place promoted by the
Maine Seacoast Missionary society.
Among other things which are being
promoted for their advantage is the
old art of rug making, which is being
revived among the women and girls
of these islands off the Maine coast.
Rev. C. w. Turner, missionary pastor,
tells how lonely and long the days
are when these islands are cut off
from all communication with main
land save as the Seacoast Missionary
boat the Sunbeam, makes her infre-
Quent calls on favorable days that
weather will permit. This work Of
making rugs, by the hook or drawn
in methods which were so popular
with our great grandmothers, can de-
yelop much artistic taste and fill
many a long hour with brightness,
and best of all. the rugs command a
good price when done, from the
summer people who throng the
, shores. Groups of girls compete with
Etheir mothers in producing the best
and most beautifW floor coverings,
and some of them command large
prices.
An unprecedented demand upon
the blueberry canning industry has

Is no doubt the call is made because
of the fear that the present drought

they are exposed to the suns rays on

their future during the following year

of the crop. On July IS there will
