Through the meadows cattle roam,
Thinking bells that lead to home,
While the squirrels ON the fence
Chatter forth their impudence-
Where the daisies greet the sun,
Smiling, blithely, every one;
Bluebells nodding on the steam
Let's go back and search for them!
Dreaming as in days gone-agone
We will wander on and on
Not where throngs the pavement
tread,
Mid the clover blooms instead,
Where the orchard brances away
Hopes fulfilled of yesterday!
Come! Let's Quincy trouble-free
Through the lands of memory!
POstlude
Some idle thoughts as idly writ;
Some fragrants gathered bit by hit;
Traditions dim, with cobwebs spun,
And handed down to sire to son.
The dust of years has left its trace
On many nook and hiding place
On crumbling parchment, brown
with age,
And quaint old letters, page on page;
On deeds conveying house and lands,
That turn to ashes in our hands.
Some bits and scraps of days of old,
Some stories that our fathers told;
And fancies of ease and summer
time,
These are the themes of which
sing;
These are the treasures which
bring;
And merely crave little space
To show them in the market place
These trifles gathered near and far;
My pack is open!. Here they are!

FRUIT GROWERS IN KENT COUNTY
ADVISED TO WATCH ORCHARD SPRAY

larvae of the Oriental fruit moth
have been heavily parasitized which
has resulted in a marked decrease
in the number of the second brood.
Peach scab, however, is more pre-
valent on the fruit, and for all late
varieties the growers have been ad-
vised to apply another cover spray
about two weeks before the harvest
period. For this application the
growers should use either the dry
mix at the rate of 20 pounds to 100
gallons of water, or the self-boiled
lime sulphur of the 16-16-100 form
ula. The 1920 sulphur-lime dust is
also recommended for those growers
who are equipped for busting in
stead of spraying.

the steam schooner "Newsboy," was
sent on a voyage with Dollar lum-
ber. Shipping fascinated the cap
tain and gradually he increased his
activity in this field. He went to
the Orient and "drummed up" as
he put it, lucrative trade with
Chinese merchants. In 1924, at
the age of 80, he defied the gloomy
predictions of competitors and es-
tablished the first round-the-world
freight and passenger service sail
ing on regular schedule. For this
he purchased a fleet of ''passen-
ger" liners from the United States
shipping board.
He lived to see the two flagships
of the Dollar lines, the S8,OOO,000
Presidents Hoover and Coolidge,
commissioned and established in
the New York-San Francisco
Shanghai trade.
1t was an unfailing habit of the
captain to inspect each vessel from
stem to stern before it sailed. He
liked to compare his two giant
liners, carrying 1900 passengers and
a crew of 300, with the "Newsboy, >

there was no indication that they
were directly connected with the
assassination of the premier.
