At times the noise has been excessive, but there have been past twenty-five years no serious ac- and explosives on this great American festival. ‘The boys are not the persons whao tracks, or who fire pistols on the walks when passing women to startle them.

All three met, naturally, for their parents had all been playmates long ago; and, naturally, Tommy’s love, dormant long, revived at the first sight of e, with Dana as a favored attendant. A man’s desira for a girl} . is increased 10 times by the sight of another man’s desire for her. Tom threw himself into the liets with all the ardor that one would expect from a Harvard boy and a lawyer at that. ‘But, somehow, try as he would, he could not regain his old position. At] their first meeting, the glad light in Flsie's eves promised well; but after that one blissful night, she was never the same to him. She seemed to dread being alone with him, and turned to Orcutt with every appearance of re- lief and welcome whenever, as some- times chanced Tommy ed to gat her to himself. She would not listen to him, she would not even answer when he begged her to tell him how he had offended her. At last, he grew as eager as she was to avoid & meet- The second fall was even more rumpling to both clothes and pride— but he fell at Elsie's feet just the same. It was that last vear at the Ander- ville* High. Of course, the #eniors went everywhere together. And this par- ticular night they had all rendezvoused on the back piazza of the North house. ATl that is to say, except Elsie and her chum, Sis Bartlett. The big veranda had provad all too small for the class; and so those two had taken themselves and their chairs to the sloping lawn. close to the foot of the veranda steps. Tommy Simmons was late, and though he hurried as fast as he could, he was the very last one to get to the North house. He couldn't see a soul at the front of the house, so haz rang the bell. The maid showed 6 him through the long hall, which divided the house from east.to west, to the door which openad out on ta the back plazza, ‘Tommy’s glance swept the long, wide piazza. It fell upon his divinity at the foot of the steps. And in another s ond he fy on her, literally and haav! ly, for Tommy was no feather-weight, but the biggest fellow in the class, and, making his way, as hg was wont, di- rect to his goal, he took no hesd to his the Fourth less distinctive than it is, only upon general principles safer. The spirit of Independence day would be a misfit for a picnic, and it is the manifestation of a quality too valuable to be suppressed. A high old time is always in order, and is always likely to be. - The celebrators of Norwich usually give the Fourth a warm opening ani a brilliant close, and the day is gen- erally quiet. This year the gcelebra- tion is not likely to be different. Since the Fourth of 1909 was given over to the 250th anniversary of the town, it was quieter than usual, and, in con- sequence, the day may be given a lit- tle more vim than usual in 1910. INFANT MORTALITY. Those who are familiar with mor- tality among infants claim that one- half of them could be saved with in- telligent treatment and care. It is estimated that there are in the United States today a million and a half of infants under a year old and that the deaths among them will be over 23,000 The Bulletin.

But, afterward, when they were all_going home together after bidding Elsie goodnight, hs got Dana Orecutt off on a side.lane and whipped the life nearly out of him. Dana con- sidered himself a rival to Tommy, for he thought he lovad Elsie as much as Tommy did. After the simply calculated that according to past history this number of children will perish if mortality , statistics maintain their usual average. These figures are those used by Dr. J. Mason Knox, Jr., of Johns Hopkins university, in a paper which he read at the recent national conference of charities and correction in St. Louis. Dr. Knox based his estimate upon a careful stddy of vital statistics cov- ering the entire country, and his con- clusion is made still more impressive by his statement that upward of 50 per cent. of the whole number of little ones assigned to the death roll cou.d be saved under conditions affording more intelligent care gnd attention. As a tribute to ignorance and crime this is a large tax upon-the country; and it is far from being creditable to our claim of advancement in intelli- gence and civilization. . F. C.

She was seated at the foot of a tall pine, her face was buried in her hands, her shoulders heaving with suppressed emotion. As she glanced up 'and saw him, her face grew scarlet, and she eprang to her feet as if on the point of hurrying away. In a second Tommy had—I was go- ing to say he had thrown himself from his horse, but to tell the truth, the horse, a hired brute, dead-beat from his long trip, gone half-asleep while he padded slowly through the cool, forest aisles, and rudely awakened by Tommy’s sudden jump, thraw his care- less rider violently forward. Tommy shot through the air like a catapult, and with his usual luck, feil at Elsie’s feet. Only this time it was not whole and sound, but with a twisted leg and a broken collar-bona. Hard luck, almost anyone would have said, but Tommy always declared it was the luckiest thing that ever hap- pened to him, for, as he lay stunned. half unconscious, hz felt Elsie’s tears on his face and heard Elsie's voice THE WORK OF SOIL SURVEY. Congressman Higgins has* received notice from the agricultural depart- ment that the soil survey would be commenced on Juné 27 for Windham county, to which county it will be con- finell. It is the purpose of the soil survey to esamine the different soils which occur in each county in the United States, In order to ascertain not only what their present capabilities of crop production may be, and to determine the best methods for producing large and profitable staple crops from these soils, but also to determine what new crops may be introduced to advantage upon each one of the different soil types, and which may in time replace part or all of the staple grain and grass crops which have formerly been raised. . In New England, taken as a whole, O UNDREDS of young men and women have obtained the foundation — the basic principles of success by o course of instructiop in our school. We graduating exercises, where Tommy was class orator and over half of the populatign consists of consumers of farm products who, are earning wages or salary in the cities or large towns. These people must, each one, be fed each day, and the farmers of New England are awaken- ing to the fact that their best en- deavor can be exerted along the lines of producing the perishable food prod- ucts for human beings, which meet with such a ready and profitable sale in the mearby towns. In order that the specialization in the production of fruits, vegetables, dalry products and high grade meats may proceed along well regulated and well determingd lines, the bureau of solls of the Uhited States department of lzflculler. has determined at the request of the granges of the county to make a soil survey of Windham coynty, Conmecticut. This will con- stitute the first soil survey in the east- ern portion of the state. Particplar attention will be paid in the of the soils to those which will be of tmmediate value for the ex- tension of apple orcharding and the production of peaches and those which are,well suited for the preduction of market garden and truck crops. Wind- ham county Is well located with re- gard to transportation facilities and should be able to produce a large acreage of fruits and vegetables which would find a ready market in the cities and large towns of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, The work of the soil survey of Windbam county was begun this week and” the field work will be completed seme tinfe early in October. The soil surveydrs will visit every portien of the esunty and will examine both the surface s®1 and the subsoil, in order to determine their important charac- teristics and the kinds of crops which each soil is suited to grow. The mest progressive farmers will also be comsulted with regards to the methods which they use for producing the largest crops and those of the best quality wpon each type of soil, and the surveyors will also have the bene- fit as the survey progresses of being able to compare the soil of Windham county with those of other portions of New England and the northeastern states where soi] surveys have already been made. Such a study and comparison of the soils of Windham county will enable them to prepare a detailed map show- ing where each different characteristic soil is located and what are its out- lines and boundaries. The map when completed will be accompanied by a repert which will summarize all of the important information whieh can ‘be .secured in regard, to these soils and when the map and report are printed application for coples may he made to the United States department of agriculture or to Representative Higgins, who will have conpies of the report for distribution. Each report is accompanied by an engraved map of the ceunty showing the location of the soils, roads, houses, villages and streams. i The place of Mr. Frank Befinett at ‘Willimantic will be headqugrters for the surveyors from the bur of soils, from the United States departmaent of agriculture. A similar report has been made cov- ering the entire*state of Rhode Island, and work will be undertaken during the present summer in Plymouth coun- ‘ty, Massachusetts, The public is informed that Charlt may go free because the courts of this country have no jurisdiction. “Why should Maly be deprived of the privi- lege of €ealing with this wife mur- derer?

Recently, in this vicinity, the P: tuguese lgborers who were work! for $25 a month and their board, manded special high wage rates for the haying season, and this being de- nied them they left the farms and are trying to force the farmers to com- ply with their terms. From the west we learn that wheat harvest is making great de- mands on the labor supply of the country. Kansas needs even more men than usual, the estimate of 20,000 be- ing deeidedly too low. In Illinois the supply is not equal to the demand The average wage paid this summer in the latter states is $1.10'a day witn board, $1.40 without board; $29 a month with board and $38 without ‘board. In some parts of New England half- grown schoolbays are finding remun- erative employment in the truek gar- dens, and are about the only dependa- ble help that these farmers can pro- cure. de- the EDITORIAL NOTES. It adversity leads to truth, hard lines must have some virtue in them. ‘Washington will soon know how Oyster Bay felt when Roosevelt was in Africa.
