The camp meetings are in full force n all parts of the country and the woods are ringing with praise and prayer. The most celebrated camp meet- ng grounds have become famous summer resorts, and they are healthful and refined al centers for all the summer months. In fact, many of them have become so popular that the meeting which was the cause of their lishment now only appears to be the star-incident of the season, They are not only inviting spots ¢ the professedly pious, but are at- tractive to all people who like good company and a quiet, joyful time. The Willimantic camp meeting is now ts height and Sunday will witness a large attendance and a bril- liant close. The camp in the woods was never more popular than it is today. soc at NOT PROFITABLE. flying tournaments in different parts of the country are not proving profitable to the promoters; and as aeroplaning becomes more and more common they are likely to show great- er decline.

PRESIDENT TAFT'S NEXT TRIP. There i3 no doubt President Taft loves travel and adventure or that he values properly the presenting of one's h cause to the people ably instead of leaving the work to spellbinders of indifferent abi It is announced that the president will make a tour of 13,000 miles, visit thirty-three states and deliver 200 speeches. Six weeks will be given to the discussion of the policies which have been most prominently before the public attention in the last few months.

And if President Taft can succeed in com- mitting Conada to reciprocity in’ the meantime, his position and that of the republican party will be greatly strengthened. It is even predicted that the president will then lead a tariff revision scheme that will take the wind out of the saili of the democrats, but in the meantime Can- ada may have_forfeited any benefit that would natlrally result to us by a general lowering of the American tariff, “The obviously prudent courge for Canada is not to allow itself to be made a catspaw by President Taft but to stand aloof until the George Wash- ingtons of the democratic party have sotten through revising the tariff cherry tree with their little hatchets.” SOMETHING COMING TO US. The defeat of the employers' lia- bility and workingmen's compensation bill in the Connecticut house of Trep- resentatives is flatly declared in the reports of the session to have been due to the members from the small towns. Is it in_order to ask who owns the small-tdwn members?

Vermont goes through just such dis- couraging experiences as that at every session of the legislature. There are still demagogues that strive to defeat reform by gppealing to the small-town prejudice,“and there are still ignorant meny that believe they are right.

This One Had a Surprising Foridnéss for Musk Melons. In the spring of 1909, David Will- iams, a visitor each vear at the farm of Mrs, Pelton, in the Penfield Hill dis- trict, Portland, planted a large patch of musk melons. With great diligence he worked over that melon patch and for his reward as nice a bed of melons thal ever grew were found. All went well until one day when he visited his garden he found to his dismay that several of the much coveted fruit had disappeared. He decided to watch and try to apprehend the culprit. Several days later his patience was rewarded for he found a good sized turtle de- vouring one of his fairest melons. Mr. Williams took the turtle, cut the in- itials “D. W., 1909,” in the under shell and then ried the intrudeér about one-half mile from the melon patch. The year 1910 brought anothier ex- cellent crop and again they disap- peared mysteriously. This time the search was renewed and Mr. Turtle, the same one as of old, was found at his old tricks again. This time some éxtra trouble was taken to dispose of the turtle v-hen it was carried three miles away by Arvid. Olson ,the hired man on the Pelton farm, who felt sure that the turtle would surely lose track of the cherished melon patch. Not so, thought Mr. Turtle, for the melon patch planted in the same spot in 1911 was just as attractive to him and he was found enjoying the fruit as in the two years previous: The in- itials and date were looked for and found. This made thfee successive years that the turile had returned Some visitors at the farm this time took the turtle in another direction, th miles distani. and they will watch with great interest to mnote if next year Mr. Turtle will again be seized ith wanderlust and land in Mr. Williams' melon patch.
