propaganda but in the channels of

Andrews in charge of enforcement is
encouraged to believe that excellent
enforcement is possible. He does not
doubt that strict enforcement may
be had whenever the public wants
it: he also sees signs of great i'm
provement in public sentiment
toward this problem.

The hall was prettily decorated with
autumn leaves. There was a prize
given to each of the four schools in
town for an exhibition of their work,
the first prize was won by the
Whittier Workers" with Er1nine
Blaisdell as teacher. There was
also an exhibition of vegetables and
canned fruit. Mrs. Bert Halves had
nice exhibit of canned goods.
There was a fish pond for the
children but the older ones seemed to
enjoy it as much. A fancy apron
table and candy table were other at
fractions. A tulip bed was one
center of attraction, the one having
the lucky tulip received nice
warm comforter. Harvey Walker of
Portland was the winner. An ap-
pliqued bed spread with bolster and
table runner was drawn by the lit

Carpenter of Smithfield. There was
a horse pulling contest as we'll as
other out door games.
An old fashioned baked bean din

Shut-In Service

october 10, 1926
Kennebec journal,
Augusta. Maine.
Gentlemen:
l am sending an account of our
recent Shut-1n service of October 3.
IL was such a blessing to US that ]
want to pass the idea along and SO
am asking you to give it a place in
Your esteemed paper. Hoping you
may lind it worthy of space / re-
main,
Yours sincerely,
CHARLES +. SARGENT.
One of the interesting features of
the work of the Winthrop Congre-
gational Church is the annual ser
vice for the Shut-Ins of the Parish,
Sunday, October 3rd was the third
time this service has been observed.
Such an occasion as this furnishes
to those who cannot be present an
opportunity to share, through Bible
verse, hymn, or personal message, in
the worship of the day. This year,
greetings were received from nine
different persons: one from blind
person; one from lady who has
been confined to her bed for several
years; two from persons who, on ac-
count of distance and age as well as
lnirmlty, cannot get out; others
from persons just beginning to find
the way of peace and love through
God. The following. were some of
the hymns received by the pastor:
Abide with Me-" 20 Could l Speak
the Matchless Word" There is a
Land that is Fairer than Day." my
Jesus, as Thou Wilt" Rock of
Ages"
Many of these were in memory of
loved ones gone on to their heavenly
home. Besides these beautiful hymns.
scripture verses and other messages
We're received by the pastor. AS
thse messages of hope and cheer in
spite of suffering, were heard, all
listening could not help but feel that
they instead of the Shut-Ins were
receiving the blessing.
In preparation for this service per-
sonal letters were sent out two or
three weeks in advance. These were
followed up~by pastoral calls. The
message were very promptly sent in.
1t was interesting to note the num-
Der received from those outside our
own Parish. Friend, Baptist and
Congregational Churches were rep
resented.
This Shut-In parish Is growing
each year in our own church and it
is the wish of the pastor that other
churches adopt this plan and receive
the blessing from same.

be unassailable in so far as it bears
on business. What about its effect
on character? What about the
ancient theory that man should
save in his early years the
money with which to sustain his
age? What about some simple
arithmetic? There are 16S hours in
week. The man who works eight
hours a day for six days has 100
hours left for himself. Granting
that seventy are required for sleep

fifty hours remain. Are they profit

October
With golden patches dotted
Green aftermaths among,
Brown earth, with yellow spotted
The graveled paths along. T.
Trees over all things sending
A glimmering golden glow;
A peace its stiffness lending,
Like music, soft and low.
Leaves falling, falling, falling,
So lightly to the ground;
Like little tired fairies
At night their beds have found.
Their life so soon is ended;
It's course SO soon Is run;
Like ours its service rendered,
Like US fall, one by one.

GIRL LOSES FORTUNE UPON
 SUPREME COURT DECCISION

OLYMPIA.-Eolding that Jula had not submitted proof sufficient to identify her as the daughter of George Ampusalt, an Alaska miner who died near Circle in 1924, the Su- preme Court dismissed her case for Ampusalt's estate, valued at $150,- 900. The King County Superior Court decision had awarded the es- tate to Ju}a, but was reversed, and the property will escheat in part to the State, and the remainder going to a brother and nephew. Jula was born in 1890, near Puyallup, and was the daughter of Mrs. Joseph Meeker. George Ampusalt'wa working on a farm in the absence of Mrs. Meeker s husband, when Mrs. Meeker discov- cred she was going to have a child. She sent Ampusalt away and wrote her husband telling of her unfaithfui
 ness. He forgave her and returned to Mrs. Meeker in 1894 with Jola and accidentally met Mrs. Ampusalt in a Portland restaurant.
 He professed an interest in the well fare of the illegitimate daughter, and for several years sent money for her, the last being from Nome in 1899, when the Meekers learned of the death of Ampusalt. In the belief the miner was her father, Jola sued for the estate.

In recent years there has been a gratity- ing specialization of public sentiment in support of measures for the protec- tion and conservation of these wild animals.

WEED ANIMAL CENSUS.

We fancy Hhat there will be rather unusually widespread interest in the "wild life census" recently completed by agents of the Federal Government, working with scispfists of the several States. The figures tabulated are significant in marked degree and will be of incalculable value to the Govern ment in the work of wild life conser- vation in future years. Guesses will no longer be necessary, now that ap- proximately correct figures, carefully gathered and properly tabulated, are easily available. Our wild animals re, in very truth, a precious item of the national property list. The fig ures recently listed show that there are 605, 900 deer in America. The elk population is given as 72,000; ante lope, 7,500; brown and black bear, 46,- 20os grizzly bear, $500; moose, 5000; mountain goats, 17,000; mountain sheep, 12,000. The report omits re- port on the number of buffalo, for the reason that they are not permitted to run wild but are, in general, seques-
