How Salt Helps Fertility.


While the soda and chlorine of salt have no manural properties, there is often a decided effect from using salt as lopdressing for land that bax or- ganic matter. Only very small amounts are used per acre, and thus the salt hastens decomposition, and this sets free whatever carbonic acid gas or am- monia the organic matter contains. Salt is usually thought of as a preserv- ative. It is so when in amounts large enough to pickle what it is applied to. When carbonic acid gas is liberated, that acts as a solvent on the inert pot- ash and phosphate that the soil con- tains, thus often serving in place of Those minerals at much less cost than if they were bought and applied.

Norfolk C. E. Union.


The Februery meeting of the Norfolk C. E. Uniou which wes held at the Con- greational church at Walpole last Thursday proved one of the very best ever held by the uuiou, The attendauce at both afternoon end evening sessione was remarkable considering the ex- tremsly iuclement weather. At once on entering the church the visitor was im- pressed with the hospitable atmosphere of the house itself, and with the addi- tional werm greeting from this pastor aod hie people all were made to feel perfectly et home aud glad to be there. The profuse decorations of our national colors with which the organ and altar were draped were exceedingly attractive and effective, and deserve special men- tion


The exercises by the Junlore of the cburcb showed conscientious work ou the part of those having them in charge end gave evidence of a most flourishing society. The ouly epeaker of ¡the after- noon wae Rev. W. J. Minchin of Wren- tham, his subject being "Our Country'e Glory. " Mr. Minchin touched upou the subject of our nation's peril, but dwelt at length upon the names of Wasb- ington aud Lincoln, men to whom we own much of our country's glory. His remarks were made in a most eernest manner and the audience could not fail to feel the force-und power of his words. The consecration service wae marked by a deep spiritual sentiment and wes a helpful and inspiring service. Next fol- lowed the conference of committees and the social hour, the latter taking place in the vestry at the well spread tablee which the hospitality of the society had provided to meet the needs of the inner mau.


After a half hour's praise service by the choir and congregation and a solo by Mrs. C. L. Stewart, the speaker of the evening, Rev. E. I. House of Dorchester wes introduced, and in a few exceedingly witty introductory remarks at once won ence. The theme of Mr. House's oration wae "My Country and I," and not only did the speaker wax eloquent over bis


A NOTABLE LIFE ENDED.

The newe, there- fore, of his unexpected deeth last Satur- day morning came na a shock to the whole community, which lost in his death its leading citizen. For some daye With these large bueiness activities he still had time always to be interested In everything that pertained to the well- he had been ill, but seemed to be return- ing to heelth, and even on Saturday

As a business men Mr. Ray hed ex- exceptionel qualities. The mere men- tion of his official positions indicatse how widely his business abilitles were In de. mand. His success in these varied di- rectlone were due to qualities inherent in the man himself. He was a hard worker, desiring always to master thor- ughily every enterprise in which he em- barked. He was gifted with a marvelous memory for the deteils of a business that enabled him to keep ready in his mind metter's which would beffle most men. His success was helped, too, by a won- derful foresight as regarde business con- Uitions; there have been few changes that his alert mind' bas not auticipated, aud thus he has been able to take advan- tage of conditions rather than to follow in their wake. A mau of sterling integ- rity and businese boncr, he has expected aud generally found the same qualities in those with whom he had business dealings and those whom he has trusted as subordinates. He has been au inde- fatigable worker always aud his business successes have been due to this as well as the other traits mentionsd. With all his success he was never a man who be- grudged success in others, In fact it may be truly said that he was alweys glad to see others succeed and to help them in any way that he could. Iu quiet, unostentatious ways be has helped many young men to start in life, giving tuein means to enter ou business, and his wisest counsel. If he could help any man who was in financial trouble, or wbo needed the benefit of his advice, it seemed a pleasure to bim to lend a help- ing hand, and there was no trait of envy or jealousy in any of his bueiness deal- ings with his fellowe. It certainly is not true of him, as it is of so many, that euccess made him hard and intolerant of those who fail in their endeevore. His name stands as a synonym of business honor, business fair dealing and businese atill.
