NEWS NOTES. 

 Roebling, N. J. — Plans are being dis- 

 cussed to hold a flower and vegetable 

 show here some time soon. 



North Cambridge, Mass. — Edward F. 

 Norberg, formerly with W. \V. Edgar 

 Company, Waverley, has leased the 

 greenhouses of Kameyama, the Japan- 

 ese florist. 



Cromwell, Conn.— A. N. Plerson, Inc. 

 have just made a present of life in- 

 surance to all their men. This insur- 

 ance is written on the group plan in 

 a Hartford company, and went into 

 effect on July 3rd. It provides $500 

 for all employees who have com- 

 pleted one year of service, and |100 

 per year extra for their employees 

 who have been with the firm a longer 

 time, until the maximum of $1500 is 

 attained. The firm pays the premium. 

 A disability clause provides that, If 

 any employee is permanently pre- 

 vented from working, he shall re- 

 ceive the principal amount, either in 

 a lump sum or in instalments. A 

 blanket contract is written between 

 the company and A. N. Pierson, Inc.. 

 but each employee receives an indi- 

 vidual certificate, assuring him that 

 his family will be taken care of in 

 case of mishap to him. Group insur- 

 ance is a new thing, which has come 

 into use in the _past five years, and is 

 being adopted extensively throughout 

 the United States by leading firms.

PUBLICATION RECEIVED 

 Vacation fiction is now in order and 

 The Page Company, Boston, are as 

 usual on the sjiot witli some delight- 

 ful romances that, like all The Page 

 literature, are sure to win popularity 

 and a large sale. Two of these we 

 would mention here. One is "The 

 House on The Hill" by Margaret R. 

 Piper, the same author who wrote the 

 two "Sylvia" Cheerful Books. The 

 House on the Hill is a winsome story 

 of some young people who spent a de- 

 lightful summer in the New England 

 out-of-doors. The book will be ap- 

 preciated by girls of fifteen to si.\- 

 teen. "The Barbarian or Will Brad- 

 ford's School Days at St. Jo's." is a 

 book for boys. The author Is Brewer 

 Corcoran, of whom we have written 

 before as tlie author of that virile 

 story of .Maine life and intrigue "Tin- 

 Road to l^ Reve." The Barbarian is 

 full of engrossing interest, witli fool- 

 hall and liasebail lore in abundance. 

 The boy who starts to read this book 

 will be otherwise "dead to the world 

 until he ha.s finislied the last page. 



Both volumes are well illustrated 

 and the iirice is J1.50 net each. Will 

 make very acceptable vacation pres- 

 ents.
