Berries also reach great size. As
the sun does not set during the
summer season, berries and flowers
grow night and day, which accounts
for their unusual size and develop

Evergreen trees are common and
the cedars are particularly attractive,
the branches dropping like great
ferns. The only deciduous tree Is
called the Alaskan willow. but is in
reality not q willow at all but a pop

tint, are used extensively in deco
rating public places. They do not
change color or drop the foliage
when thus picked, for several years.
Mrs. Stanley exhibited a spray of
these leaves which had been a part
of the decoration in n public build
ing for several years, and they re-
tanned the fresh. waXy appearance
of a newly gathered spray. The

fusion. and when gathered and used

they are not artificial. so vivid are
the colorings. Roses are everywhere
and many flowers totally unknown

was given a spray of Arctic grass
with a tiny tuft of white wool ut the
top, known as the Arctic SNOWFALL.
The glaciers and icebergs Mrs.
Stanley found very interesting, and
she remarked upon the clearneSs of

resolve of the last Legislature that
such a list be prepared for the use

exempt property.
One Of the exemptions which must
be listed Is on money loaned on real

actual amount of money loaned on
real estate in the State of Maine as

Auditor Hayford said that the best
that could be done IN this case Is to
get together some figures upon which
the Legislature can work but that
they will not be by any means COM

In Metnoriam.

In sad but loving remembrance of our
darling mother and wife. Mary Gertrude
Hoskinson. who fell asleep in Jesus one
year ago to-day, October 9th. 1928.
Sad, sad was this day one year ago,
Little mother of mine. with nature
So gentle and action so kind, you breathed
Your last farewell to be with Jesus Divine.
tbs hard in this world your equal to find.
Only those who have lost know the silent
Heartache and the loneliness that makes
The night so long and each new day that
Follows seem so dull and void Of song.
Though surrounded by friends we are lone
some,
In the midst of all we are blue.
A smile on our face, but a heartache,
Darling, we are thinking of you.
In our meditation we see a face we love
the best,
Your smile was like the dawning,
Your cheer like noontide,
And the comfort of your presence
Like the twilight's peaceful hour.
Your love our lives encircled
Like the arch of Heavens way.
And the memory of you, precious one,
Is our lifetime's perfect day.
Miss you, yes. we miss you. no tongue can
tell.
For our sad hearts ache till in grief they
Nearly break for the one we loved so well,
Out in life's garden. where sympathy grew,
God planted soul-'twas the soul Of you,
LIES wonderful garden. love seeking went
through
Till He found heart-'twas the heart of
you,
We sought through life's garden Of roses
and rue.
And we found one sweet blossom all jeweed
with dew
Love. sympathy. faith-all unchaneine and
true
And the heart of our flower, dearest one
twas you.
Then when our call comes soft and low,
And we have lived the life in the way
that God has willed it so.
Well meet you on that shining shore,
Where parting and sorrow will be no More.
