would feel a satisfaction in visiting
these schools, that he is helping to
make them possible.
There are still many children, even
in Moscow, running about the streets
or selling things more or less Illegally,
even begging and stealing. AS fast
as possible, they are being brot into
homes, and into the organization of
the Young Pioneers, now beginning to
call themselves Young Leninists Many
of these children, unusued to restraint,
run away, or create much trouble in
the homes. There is the story of an
organization of gutter children, who
lived in a passage under railway
station. Unspeakably dirty it was.
but more or less warm and protected
They had kept this retreat hidden
from the police, and crept out to beg
and steal, about the train and the sta.
ton rooms, and in the adjoining
streets When their well-concealed
lair was at last discovered, commit.
tee of teachers went to bring them
into the homes. 1t was only after long
persuasion that the organization con
sented to send out a delegation. to
treat with delegation of teachers,
and finally after discussion of terms
and conditions, they capitulated. How
many of these went back to the old
life, do not know but most of them
are hardened little professionals at a
tender age.
The hopeful point of the whole story

is that while in other countries as fast
as one set is redeemed others take
their places and the same tragic round
goes on,-in Russia they are slowly
redeeming the conditions that make
for criminal vagabondage. While we
continue cheerfully pouring water into
the sieve, refusing to notice the holes,
''realist" Russia is putting a solid
bottom in the sieve. But Russia
lacks funds and housing to deal with
them all. even in such an organized
center as Moscow,-in addition to the
complications that primitive training
and influence bring into the problem.
AS yet not more than half the children
of Russia have ben brot into organized
schools.
STILL in no country is such funda-
mental effort being made to deal with
the child question. In no other coun-
try can it be made so fundamentally,
because at the base of it lies The eco
nomic question, and Russia is the only
country dealing fundamentally with
economic causes.

After resting here in the October
sunlight and absorbing all we could
of this wonderful panorama. We
walked back to the car and drove
westerly to the Jones place. We had
passed the farmhouse when we were
attracted by SOME wonderful fruit
trees to the right and left so decided

to give a good vigorous push behind

Mr. Jones was at home and readily
consented to let us stroll over his
premises. He suggested that, if APP
pies were our principal object, he
could give us better ones from his eel
lar, than we could find among the
trees and this he proceeded to do. We
made him understand, however, that
we got especial pleasure from asso-
citation with the trees themselves and
from the ability to select an apple
here and there from the ground Sc
ne came along and told us all about
his orchard, the crops of previous
years, and much that was interesting
in horticulture. Mr.. Jones does not
think he has very good crop this
year and perhaps he is right but
many of the trees seemed to be fruit

say there were thousand trees in
this enclosure. There is another
splendid orchard across the road. We
wandered up and down between long
rows eating all the luscious fruit we
cared to and carried away all that
ouI pockets and hands would hold.
AS we passed out, | noted a thrifty

well. Kept on across the trolley
tracks in northerly direction toward
the Twelve Corners but about mile
further on, took the first left hand
road. This leads up a considerable
grade for a long distance. in wes-
terly direction. At the Perley
Adams farm l parked the machine
and walked up through the field to
the right. Here we did not get quite
to the highest point but near enough
to take in wonderful stretch OF
country. The high spot was over in
the pasture of the George Jones farm
and there was barbed wire fence
to climb so We contented ourselves
with the point we had already reach
ed. The story is told that this spot
few years since, was visited by Ben
Foster, an artist of world wide re-
nown, who originated in North An
son. Mr.. Foster is said to have
painted a picture founded on this OBJ
servation from Eames Hill, which
took the second prize at the San
Francisco Exposition and afterward
sold for three thousand dollars
($3000.) The view we beheld was
certainly worth that sum. although
we. had no way to capitalize it in dol
lars as did the noted painter just re-
ferred to.
Lake Wesserunsett is the most
prominent feature of the landscape.
There is more of 1t in sight, I think,
from Eames Hill, than from any other
point from which 1t can be seen. The
outline is readily traceable from the
inlet at the northeast all the way
around its various points and bays.
We could see Blackwell Hill from
whence we had just come. plainly; the
Notch Mountain. Eaton Mountain and
Bigelow Hill were also prominent fea-
lures Of the landscape. OF course
the hills in New Vineyard and New
Portland and the range which com
prises Bigelow, Abram and Saddle

The Kennebec River could be traced
for miles in the valley to the east.

I was seeking for the high spot
should go to the Jewett Hill north
of Lake Wessernnsett. This, of course
was in fun view and we decided to
act upon his suggestion. To get
there we kept on westerly, however,
until we came into the old Scion road
a mile or SO south of Patterson bridge.
Here we turned up river TO the north
and followed along until We came to
the Twelve Corners road near the
Danforth place Here we turned to
the right and passed through very
pretty valley, part of the time In a
wood-shaded highway. In here we
met one or two cars and among them
Register of Deeds John w. Higgins
and party. We recognized him but
it seems he did not know us as he
was surprised the next day at having
me tell him where he was that after
noon. This road brought us out at
the Twelve Corners and We kept right
on through that maze of connecting
highways, easterly, toward Athens.
There is a cemetery on the right of
this road in beautiful location over
looking Lake Wesserunsett. Just a
little way beyond there We turned to
the left through a farm dooryard and
around the buildings toward the top
of the hill 1t is possible to drive a
considerable distance up across this
field to a pasture fence and there is
nice pair of bars to invite you on
your way toward the highest point.
In the pasture there are beautiful
clumps of white birches through
which you pass and finally you come
ont on a ledge where a geological
survey of perhaps twenty years ago
established a station. The old tripod
is still there, wired to iron pins in
the rock to prevent its being blown
away. Under it is a bronze plate
about four inches in diameter. placed
there by the survey field men. Among
other information on this disk is the
statement that a penalty of two hun
dred fifty dollars ($250) will be in
ficted upon anyone who disturbs it.
OF course you get another nice view
from Jewett Hill. The Twelve Cor
ners. with its many passing automo-
biles is not far away to the south
west. Robbins Hill is directly west
and it seems very much lower. The
Canadian mountains are in plain view
in the distance On top of Jewett
Hill is an old yellow birch with wind
swept and twisted branches. Forty

at the southerly end of Lake Wesser-

by this time the sun which had

LUCKILY ESCAPES
INJURY WHEN CAR
SHOOTS OFF ROAD

Residents in the vicinity Of Iron
Mine Hill on the Brunswick Road
reported to Chief Dunn that a Chew
rolet touring car was found in the
ditch early Wednesday morning.
Chief Dunn went out to investigate
the matter, and found the car as
stated, in a wrecked condition. Both
front wheels were badly bent, the
-mudguards were twisted. and one
tire was cut clearly off, and the
windshield broken. The officers
worked on the case all the morning.
and by noon had discovered that the
car was licensed in the name of Har-
old Rines Of this city. Mr.. Rines was
found at his home on West Street,
and explained that he had lost con-
troll of the car. and thought that the
steering gear had given way and
that he had shot off the road, the
car going over a stone culvert and
breaking off a lamp post landing
fifty feet away. He said that he and
another man had been to the dance
at Pleasant Pond Pavilion, and that
then they had gone to Richmond, the
accident had occurred about 100
Wednesday morning. The occupants
of the car were considered very for
tunate to escape with what injuries
they did. Mr., Rines received a bad
cut over his eye, and was generally
shaken up, while the other man in
the car was uninjured.
