thou acast under the fig tree, 1 sa1u
thee. st. John, i. As.
To discover q great soul and to en-
power it is n greater accomplishment
than to discover the hidden riches of
the earth. Charles Dickens once said
that the kind of education that in
forms only the head and the hand is
imperfect and incomplete. He went
on to say that it must also disclose
and develop the latent qualities of the
soul. The Importance of this dictum
has never been more evident than
now. Educators the world over are
constantly seeking to discover better
methods for developing and enrich
ing the lives of those with whom
they have to do Now and again
some teacher arises who has genius
for revealing to his students latent
gifts and qualities, of which they have
had no consciousness. They have
faculty for discovering men and
women to themselves. Some of the
finest Seniuses the world has known
have been called into being through
the sympathetic touch and discerning
knowledge of those who, less gifted
than themselves, were able to un-
cover and reveal to them their un-
known and unused treasures. Very
frequently it is some mother who
possesses this gift. The case of Phil
lips Brooks and his mother illustrates
it. She saw IN the early days of her
sons life the evidences of the great
ness of his soul, and through careful
nurture she 50 stirred up the gift
within him that at length, even in
spite of other inclinatiOns, he came to
be one of the mighty prophets of his
age. John Wesley never ceased to
recount the story of his mothers in
fluence over him. What SusSanah
Wesley was to the developing mind
and soul of her son it would be inn
possible to express. If we could get
at the root OF the story of those men
and women who have been the great
est benefactors OF the race we would
almose inevitably find that their gifts
were disclosed to them by one who,
believing in their undiscovered quail
ties, was able to call them into being.
The supremest example in this re-
spect is found in Jesus Of Nazareth.
He, more than any other, believed in
the unfulfilled possibilities of human

With her to disagree.

The evening shadows creep.

Overland Boasts
OF Youngest Salesman

Slightly more than year ago there
set out from Toledo fourteen-year-
old lad and his mother, bound for
Hollywood in one of the new Overland
Skies.
Through the soapy wet mud of
Missouri and other western states
this boy piloted his mother safely
through the 5000 miles Of all kinds
of roads. arriving in Los Angeles with
an expenditure of only s97 for gas
and oil during the long trip.
Today, after handling this Overland
Six for more than 5000 miles the boy.
Gordon Allen. is fast becoming one
of the high powered automobile sales
men in southern California. In re-
cent letter to the Willys-O Overland
factory Gordon, who is probably the
youngest retail automobile. salesman
in the United States. said: 1--WE GER
tainly have enjoyed the Overland
Six which drove from Toledo to Los
Angeles without mishap in company
with my mother. Our car has been
driven nearly 5000 miles and we
have found Ii a very cheap car to
operate. I have accepted an oppor-
tunity to sell Overland Skies in my
spare time which makes me about
the youngest salesman in the coun-
try, guess. A number of our friends
are now enjoying Overland Skies and
chanics teacher at school to buy one
and he thinks it a fine car-and he IL
a real Judge of automobiles"
Gordon Is an enthusiastic boster for
the Overland Six and will, without
doubt. become an efficient retail
salesman from the suspicious start
he has made.

The fairy Of life, we do not know

She appears in that strong soldier as
he marches with swift vigorous step
"a sword thrust, a flow of blood!
and she disappears, leaving a MOTOR
less body upon the ground.
In the tiny cell which we cannes
see it is so small. there she appears;
in the giant trees of California, there
she appears and. there she remains
apparently to remain forever!
Here is one in perfect vigor OF
body and mind, he is strong, the lie
blood flows freely through his veins.
He can perform a full days work and
renew his strength at eyentide by
refreshing nights sleep. The fairy
of Health is with him. But Oh. how
many of us there are whom this fairy
has left! How many of us there are
who are suffering from all sorts OF
disorders of various parts OF the
body! How important it il then for
us to strive to keep with US this
wonderful fairy.
Invalid, may the fairy Of Health
once more touch your cheeks and
make them bright! may she once
more send her strength and vigor
through your whole body! One and
all, observe her laws If you would
keep her with you.
Moonlight! Silvery cloud fieeces
floating in evening sky! A humble
dwelling among the softly rustling
leaves! Sweet strains of music

"My Seasons Work"

When I began club work last
spring. it doomed up before me much
as a hard lesson does in school
And now that it is finished, I find
that it was not so difficult after all
but, as with the lesson. a little hard
work has made it seem easy.
1 Joined the Scarborough Boys
Agriculture Club three years, ago last
spring. The first three years I had
a one rod garden. This year I took
pride in charging it to a six-rod
garden and it seemed very large in
deed when the weeds began to grow
I had my garden plowed on April
6, and narrowed April IA. borrowed
a planter, and with the help of my
father, I planted it April Is to car
rots. They started to grow quickly.
After the tops got to looking good,
l usually carried a tape measure with
me and measured them often. On
June 10. I measured them and they
were eight inches tall. Some tops
make a big showing but have small
carrots. But not so with these.
On July 5, found that the carrots
were of marketable size. So pulled
up IL carrots. put them in three
punches of four carrots each, and
SOFA we lnTee DunCneS IOr forty We
cents.
During the following weeks I did
a small retail business which found
profitable, but to eliminate many de-
tails, sold most of the carrots di-
rectly to Carr Brothers and Hanna
ford Brothers of Portland.
Tie latter firm said that the car
rots which I brought them were the
first native ones that they had re-
ceived for the season. Consequently
l received a very good price for them.
During this time the ten and twen-
ty dollar bills rolled in until my ewes
buleed like saucers. had no idea

Boston and Maine to
Ask Higher Milk Rate

Boston, Jan. 14.-(AP)-Schedul
calling for an increase of 20 per
cent in its milk and cream transpor-
tation rates are being prepared by
the Boston & Maine Railroad, it was
announced Thursday. The new rates
will be filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission within few days,
effective 80 days thereafter. An OPP
Grating loss of more than 100000 a
year on it's milk traffic is response
BILE for the advance. the road states.
The advance, it is stated, Will
amount to less than 1-5 of cent a
quart in the retail price of milk, the
statement says.
Maine milk producers will not be
greatly affected by the proposed in
crease in milk traffic schedules of the
Boston & Maine Railroad. The bulk
of the milk carried to Boston origin
ates on the Boston & Names own
lines in New Hampshire and YER
mont and Is carried in carlot ship
ments, Maine milk, on the contrary,
is delivered to the Boston carrier
from the Maine Central on a joint
schedule basis.
Officials of the Maine Central are
now studying milk traffic schedules,
although no definite statement was
made as to whether the Maine Gen.
trail also will apply for higher rates.
The Maine Central, through it's
special milk train. has been a big
aid in assisting Maine farmers to
open up new markets for surplus
milk. and it is probable that any
schedule adjustment made by the
Boston G. Maine also will affect the
Maine road.

"My Seasons Work"

My seasons work began when
, first thought of joining the Club, for
then l had to decide what project to
take.
After / had decided on the Potato
project my next step was in securing
a suitable plot.
| thought l would try piece of
broken up ground this year, if l
could procure it, because my plot
last year did not turn out well on old
ground. it being so dry season and
because l thought that potatoes
would do better all round on broke
up, it being free from all old dis
eases of the ground, Rhizoctonia,
Scab. Blackleg, etc.
My father let me have the one
quarter of an acre from his piece,
which was plowed in the fall. On
this l planted three bushels of Gold
Coin seed, which yielded we'll for the
variety, considering the fact that
there was no manure whatever put
on this piece.
There were comparatively few
weeds. owing, | think, somewhat to
the narrowing, or cultivating which
l gave the whole piece before the po-
tatoes We're up.
1 planted my plot the second day
of May on a fairly early piece of
ground and hoed them three times
with horse hoe and sprayed them
three times also. with Bordeaux
mixture. which 1 think delayed the
late blight which barely touched my
plot.
During the Summer my project
required less work and our CLUB
played quite a number of ball
games, winning all but two of which
times l played on the team.
Our Club formed a demonstration
team, which was made UP of Clyde
Dolloff and myself. We were chosen
to represent Cumberland County in
the competition for the Western
Maine State demonstration team
held at Auburn, August 10. 1925. We
won close second choice to the
State Team.
Our demonstra ton was the Potato
Seed Treating Demonstration, and
was given at our Local Exhibit on
Friday Oct. 49, 1925, and again at
the County Exhibit held in Portland,
Oct. % and "a, 1925. Also at the
Farm Bureau Seed Show and Ex-
hibit, held in Portland.
One afternoon in early September
l started to dig potatoes enough to
get ten good ones to exhibit at Cor
ham Fair. and / only had to dig less
than a bushel before 1 had what 1
thought We're ten good potatoes.
Then washed and wrapped them to
prevent peeling and sent them to the
Fair. ! saw few days later that the
paper stated my potatoes had re-
ceived first premium. These potatoes
also received first prize at the
County Exhibit.
My potatoes, being planted early
ripened about as early and on
Oct. 10, 1925, were all dug and sold
at an average price of $3.50 per Dbl.
or better, for all but the small ones
of which I had only five bushels out
of a total of AZ. and received a very
fair price of over zoe per bu by
marketing them on the Public Mar
ket in Portland.
On balancing all accounts found
that have cleared outside of the in
terest on my small investment. the
sum of s32.02 which I think would
justly prove that Club. Work Pays.

This is my sixth year in Club
work and the second year that have
carried the Sewing project, being a
county champion each year. Besides
sewing l have carried the Canning

We hold regular meetings each
month which are carried on in parli-
mentary form, after which a social
hour follows often frightening into
several hours. To many of our meet
ings We carry our sewing. At this
time any problems which are bother
ing the girls are discussed. During
the summer we have many good
times going on picnics, having
Vicente roasts" and other things
The winter does not hinder us from
having a good time too, for then
we have socials, have a good pro-
gram, after which games are enjoyed

We set our goal for 100 articles IN
sewing, and made 121. / made IS OF
them, among them my own under
clothes, some of my dresses. besides
articles for the home. such as:
curtains for my own ROOM pillow
slips and pillow tops, and severa
other articles.
The requirements for exhibit be-
ing an article for the home. a patel
or darn and an article containing a
buttonhole. my exhibit consists of d
! luncheon set, hemmed patch and q
cretonne apron containing a button
hole.
1 have enjoyed each year of club
work more and more. l consider the
sewing project one of the most help
full to girls. 1t enables the girl OF
moderate means to have much nicer
clothes and more of them by making
them herself, than as though she
bought them ready made or hired
them made.
