The Garden Club Members of
BrOadkiln district. til emajority of
whom are, now. attending the Mil
ton High School, held a picnic at
BrOadkiln Beach, Friday afternoon,
when their club pins were awarded.
Though, il rained and sleeted. and
the wind blew a gale, it did not
daunt the spirits of those boys and
girls, nor did it put out the fire,
which burned as cheerfully as
though nothing unusual were hap
pening. Frankfurters, marshmal-
lows, and chestnuts were roasted.
and a number of games were played
around the fires. In November, this
group is to hold club meeting at
the home Of James Phillips.
The Just Us Club, composed of
club girls, living between Milford
and StaytOnsville, held a picnic,
Saturday afternoon, near the wodos
on the Hostedler Farm. The gor-
geOus fall foliage furnished a bril-
liant canopy for the picknicers,
who, seated on blanket, enjoyed
roasted frankfurters, baked beans,

apples, chestnuts and cocoa The
cocoa and "doggie" rolls were made
by Violet Hostedler. The potato
salad was made by Esther Zimmer-
man and the apples were furnished
by Ruth johnson.
The club members expressed reg
ret that Ruth Murphy could not at

ficiently to resist fatal attack.
Nevertheless, he was so weakened
by the experience that he was for

SOMETIME
Mary Riley Smith

Sometime, when all life's lessons
have been learned,
and sun and stars forevermore
have set,
The things which our weak judg-
ments here have spurned,
The things DER which we grieved
with lashes wet,
Will flash before us out of life's dark
night,
AS stars shine most in deeper
tints of blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans
were right,
And how what seemed reproof was
love most true.
And we shall see how. while we
frown and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you
and me;
How when we called, He needed
not our cry,
Because His wisdom to the end
could see.
And cen as prudent parents disal-
low
Too much of sweet to craving
babyland,
So God, perhaps, is keeping from us
now
Life's sweetest things because it
seemeth good.
And If, sometimes, commingled with
life's wine,
We find the wormwood, and rebel
and shrink,
Be sure a wiser hand than yours or
mine
Pours out the potion for our lips
to drink.
And if some friend we love is lying
low
Where human kisses cannot reach
his face,
oh, do not blame the loving Father
so,
But bear your sorrow with obe-
dent grace.
And you shall shortly know that
heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends
his friends,
And that, sometimes. the sable pail
of death
Conceals the greatest boon His
love can send.
If we could push ajar the gates of
life,
and stand within, and all Gods
working see.
We could interpret all this doubt and
strife.
And for each mystery could find
a key.
But not today; then be content, poor
hearts;
Gods plans, like lilies pure and
white, unfold;
We must not tear the cIose-shut
1eaves apart
Time will reveal the calyxes of
gold.
And II, through patient toll, we reach
the land
Where tired feet, with sandals
loosed, may rest,
When we shall know and clearly
understand,
think that we shall say God
knew the best

THE PICKET"S SONG

Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the waters near me roll,
While the tempest still Is high.
II was on an ocean steamer,
And one voice about the rest,
Beautiful, pure, rich and mellow,
All the air with music blest.
Something more, a faint remem-
brance,
Broke upon the listeners ear;
"Yes." he thought, "'tis not the first
time
That sweet voice is mine to hear"
Silence fOllowed-then the stranger
Crept up TO the singer rare:
Were yOu in the Civil War. sir?"
"A Confederate, was there"
Then time, a place were mentioned
Were you?"-Yes, and strange
to say,
This same hymn was then my com
fort.
That you hear us sing today.
Dark the night, so cold and dreary.
And my boyish heart felt low,
Pacing there on sentry duty,
Dangerously near the foe.
Midnight came, the darkness deep
ened,
Thoughts of home forebodings
brought;
So for comfort, prayer and singing
issipated gloomy thought.
"All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my hope from Thee l bring;
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.
Then strange peace came upon me,
No more fear and gloom that night,
Dawn came heralding the morrow,
Ere the first faint streaks of light"
Then the other told his story;
II, a Union soldier, true,
In those woods that very evening
With my scouts was passing
through.
you were standing. and our rifles
Covered you; we heard you sing:
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of Thy Wing
"Twas enough. Boys l said, come
Lower rifles.--we'li go home"

Who Are You?
The Romance Of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

which is most clearly identified with
the parent family in England was
established by George Barlow, son Of
Rev William Barlow of Easton, Eng
land. The records show him to have
been in Exeter, Mass, in 1889, evi-
dently settling there very soon after
arriving in America. He was a min
lister, preaching in Exeter and Saco,
Me. His father was of the Established
Church and the son, George, evidently
following the example of his parent,
was of the same faith. He was for
hidden to preach or to prophesy by the
General Court of Massachusetts.
Upon being prohibited from preach
ing, he moved to Plymouth, where he
began the practice of law. The Ply
mouth government, in order to keep
Quakers out of the colony, was forced
to appoint state constable" to en-
force the law. George Barlow was ap-
pointed to the Office and in 1858 was
serK to be the special marshal for
Sandwich, Barnstable and Yarmouth.
BY imposing many fines and penalties
upon the Quakers he became the tar
get of their criticism and suffered
many hardships at their hands.
Outstanding among American Bar
lows was Joel Barlow, poet, politician
and man of letters. Peter Townsend
Barlow and Samuel Latham Barlow
of New York City were the descend
ants of Edward Barlow
The coat of arms shown is that used
by Edward Barlow and is traced to the
Barlows of Pembrokeshire, Wales.

Pearly Everlasting.
Anaphalis margaritacea.


-HE French named this flower
immortelle. 1t seems very Mt
ting because funeral Wreaths
4 are often made of the flowers.
Others call it moonShine, be-
cause of its silvery color. A farmer
must have given to it the name OF
cottonwood after he had seen his cattle
refuse to eat the plant that was as
TASTY as a mouthful of cotton batting
The one who gave it the name none
too pretty was not flower lover.
However, this may be OF interest 10
note. that whatever name you call her
she does not stop to consider whether
she likes it or not She is too busy
marching over the world in her effort
TO establish her family in every part
of it. She is known from Newfound-
land to Alaska and southwark to North
Carolina, Kansas and California. She
Is established in Northern Asia, ana
has even invaded Europe.
The everlasting does not try to
crowd out other flowers of the held'
Rather, she seeks neglected spots, ike
the old meadow, the barren hillsides,
the lonely uplands, sparsely-coVereo
fields and even the fence rows.
As far as we have been able to find
out. she figures at funerals and is
dyed every color Of the rainbow at
Christmas time. OF late years her tiny
flowers have been in demand for use
in making butterfly trays, as these wee
flowers are always dry and comblne
beautifully with the colored grasses

Broken Toys
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

IT is unjust to mete out angry pun
ishment to a child for the acci-
dental breaking of his toys. In the
natural course of events, all toys
find their way to the ash can and
others take their place.
Wanton destruction of toys may
appear to cry out for discipline, but
this situation, too, may need honest
criticism rather than that misnamed
good" spanking.
The toys themselves may be too
frail for ordinary rough use. They
may be so complex as to have no
interest for the child, and thus in
spire no other use than to pull them
apart or throw them around.
The too simple toy arouSes the
child's contempt. 1t has lost what
ever amusement value it might have
once possessed. and he tears it to
pieces to see what makes it go.
No toy has any value when the
child is surfeited with wealth Of
them. He is bewildered by the choices
offered him to play with and goes
temporarily berserk, getting scme ex-
citement out of throwing them to
the four winds, listening to the crash
of glass, the crunch of cracking wood
and the clearing out of his crowded
domain.
Toys, unfortunately, may seem to
represent their giver, and If the child
bears an inner animosity to that in
dividual, the destruction Of the toy
seems to him imperative.
Children harbor grievances against
brothers and sisters, and find an out
let for their emotion by destroying a
childs precious possessions. Children
may break toys given them by a
mother who Systematically shows par
TALLY to some other child in the
family. The child's hurt jealousy
makes wanton destruction OF the
mothers gifts essential to his peace of
mind. He's paying her back.
Other suggestions for these prob
lens are offered in my leaflet, How
to Deal With Destructive Tendencies, "
which may be had for a self-addressed
3-cent stamped envelope sent to Myrtle
Meyer Eldred, care of this newspaper
One can see without further argu-
ment that no punishment will end
such situations; it may gravely ag-
gravate them. The toys must be suit
able to the childish owners age and
interests. There must not be too
many. His unbalanced home rela-
tionships must be brought back to
even keel. Then all that remains is
for the parent to show that constant
respect for her own possessions and
that sincere respect for his, which will
inspire in him a real appreciation of
their value

Mature S Children
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

The Pearly Everlasting mother Is
canny schemer. In order to prevent
self fertilization, she has her male
flowers on one plant and her female
ones on another, and usually in sep
arate patches! The male or stam-
mate flowers are pictured.
The pistillate or seed-developing
flowers are globe-shaped. The buds
are tiny, gg-shaped, white knobs at
first. AS they develop they have tiny
little, fluffy, yellow tassels. Look
through a lens and you will see
slight depression in the center of the
tassel. At the bottom of this little
we'll there are two or three perfect
flowers. That means there will be
seeds, whether there are assistants or
not.
The staminate flowers are the pollen
bearers. These look like fairy birds
nests filled with golden eggs. The
flower has a tubular, five-pointed
starlike corolla. There are five stam-
ems Joined in a tube at the center
standing up like a keg from the
corolla Later the golden pollen over
flows these flowers and it is harvest
time for the moths and bees. The
pilfering ants cannot climb the felt OF
navigate the wool. Their feet get
tangled into it and they perish
Somehow they have learned the
Everlasting nectar is not for them
though occasionally an ant is tempted
to scale the felt-covered stem, but
never reaches her goal.

Veal Loaf

Boil one pound Of lean veal in
enough water to cover it. When done
set it to one side to cool while you boil
down the liquor in which it was cook
ed to about half a cupful. Add to
this a saltspoonful of celery salt, the
grated peel of one lemon and half the
juice, and salt and white pepper to
taste. Chop the veal fine with table
spoonful of lean ham. Put the gravy
with the meat and turn all into a
round mold. Lay plate on the sur
face of the meat, cover with heavy
weight and leave until the next day.
BY that time it will be firm and may
be turned out on fat dish and cut
into slices. Garnish with parsley and
slices Of lemon, or with sliced
tomatoes.

In the Summer she furnishes moths
and insects with nectar in return for
their cooperation in transporting pol
len. This sums up her good points.
You will find this plant in bloom
from July to September. From the
minute the flower opens until the
SHOWS cover it there is a ghostlike
appearance about it. There is some
thing unreal and artificial about the
plant, as if it had been away and
was only here to see what changes
had taken place in its absence.
The plant covers herself with felt
wool and cotton blankets. Look al
the leaves through lens and you will
see they have on fine wool covering
The stems have felt coats and the
flowers and stems soft cotton. Not a
drop of moisture is allowed to es-
cape.
The stem grows to about feet high
The long, narrow leaves are set alter
nately along the stem and become
shorter and narrower as they reach
the top of the plant.
The flower stems are robust, covered
with felt, soft and flexible. They
come off at the axis of the thread
