For October, 1922 



303 



There were fine displays of fruit and 

 vegetables with competition very keen. The 

 first prize for vegetables was awarded to 

 Mrs. A. J. Moulton of New Rochelle, N. ^^ 

 The Garden clubs made a line showing, all 

 classes being well filled. The amateur 

 classes were also keenly contested. In the 

 class for the best seedling Dahlia William 

 Shaw of Greenwich received a gold medal. 



The October meeting was held in Green- 

 wich, Conn, Oct. 10th. 



There was a good attendance. The ex- 

 hibits of flowers, plants, and vegetables vi'as 

 fine, the judges finding it difficult to select 

 the prize winners. 



Owing to the illness of the secretary <.i. 

 Hewitt, John Rutherford officiated in his 

 stead. It is hoped Mr. Hewitt will be with 

 us next month, when it is planned to hold 

 a chrysanthemum show for members. 



The members enjoyed an interesting lec- 

 ture by Henry Bird of Rye, N. Y., ento- 

 mologist and collector of note, Mr. Bird, 

 illustrated his lecture with specimens and 

 described in detail his big harden, the mak- 

 ing of it and the plants to be found growing 

 there. T. J. Bulpitt, Cor. Scc'y.

SERVICE MEASURES SUCCESS 



It isn't the cut of the clothes that you weai 



Nor the stut? out of which they are made 

 Though chosen with taste and fastidious 

 care 



And it isn't the price that you paid ; 

 It isn't the size of your pile in the bank. 



Nor the number of acres you own. 

 It isn't a question of prestige or rank. 



Nor of sinew, and muscle and bone ; 

 It isn't the servants that come at your call, 



It isn't the things you possess. 

 Whether many, or little — or nothing at all. 



It's service that measures success. 



It isn't a question of name, or of length 



Of an ancestral pedigree. 

 Nor a question of mental vigor and strength. 



Nor a question of social degree ; 

 It isn't a question of city or town. 



Nor a question of doctrine or creed 

 It isn't a question of fame or renown. 



Nor a question of valorous deed ; 

 But he who makes somebody happy each 

 day 



And he who gives heed to distress. 

 Will find satisfaction the richest of pay. 



For it's service that measures success.
