The Green Isle—Magnolia, Mass. 
The green isle 
Rises above the sea, 
The ivy, and the vine 
Grow there abundantly. 
The isle is girt 
About with rocks 
Against which Old Neptune 
In a rage, clashes the foam 
From his hoary locks. 
. At other times 
The sea lops aimlessly 
The shore. 
But when the wind 
Is high, the breakers roar, 
The children from the mainland 
Come in little boats 
To play awhile, 
At being stranded 
On a desert isle. 
While in mid air 
The sea birds softly float, 
With wings unfurled, 
Seeking their food 
Beneath the waves. 
In that lower world, 
So rich in life, 
In all its various forms, 
That food for nations 
Can be gathered 
From its arms. 
Years pass. Meanwhile, 
The green isle slumbers on 
And heeds not storm or calm. 
The children grow, 
Bring children of their own 
To repeat the plays 
That charmed their elders 
In other days. 
—Alice W. Chambers.

“* Every Board of Trade in the coun- 
ty was represented at the Essex County 
association's outing at Nahant Wednes- 
day.’’—News Item. 
Wuere is Manchester’s Board of 
Trade?) Manchester was one of the 
very few towns in the county not repre- 
sented by a delegation, though one or 
two of our citizens went as guests of the 
association. 
Ir there is any one thing in Manches- 
ter with which everybody seems to be 
mightily pleased, it is the band concerts. 
Six of these have been given during the 
season by the Salem Cadet Band—the 
best in New England—and the last of 
the series was given last Friday night. 
It is the universal hope of the hundreds 
who have been attending these during the 
summer, that they will be repeated next 
year. And one feature of the concerts 
that may also be repeated to the satisfac- 
tion of all, is the beautifully illuminated 
common. ‘The cost of such an illumin- 
ation to the town is trivial, compared to 
the enjoyment which is derived from it. 
The concerts this year have been largely 
attended from beginning to end. Last 
Friday night fully fifty automobiles and 
carriages were lined along the street dur- 
ing the concert. Scores of our summer 
residents have shown their appreciation 
of the music by their attendance each 
night. Over 150 people from Beverly 
Farms and Pride’s came down for the 
concert last week. 
Road Census. 
Wuartis believed to be the first time a 
complete road census has been under- 
taken inthis country, was carried out by 
the Massachusetts Highway Commission. 
It was undertaken first to find out the 
relative importance of the different lines 
or routes of travel throughout the state, 
and secondly to secure a rough approxi- 
mation of the relative use of such routes 
by motor and horse drawn vehicles. 
The plans called for a count of all vehi- 
cles using the state roads for a_ period of 
fourteen hours each day duiing the week 
at more than 200 stations scattered all 
over the state, with a twenty-four hour 
count at eleven stations on the principal 
routes of travel. “The observers were 
. G. E. WILLMONTON ... 
Attorney and Counse!lor-at-Law 
selected by the chief engineers of the 
five divisions into which the state roads 
are divided, and were on duty every day 
from 7 a. m. until 9 p. m., and barring 
motor cycles, bicycles, pedestrians and 
cattle, will make a note of all traffic 
movements by their stations. An effort 
was made to have simultaneous census 
taken by the Metropolitan Park Com- 
mission on the parkways in-Revere, Sau- 
gus and Medford, by the Boston Park 
Commission on Commonwealth avenue, 
and by the Newton authorities on the 
Newton boulevard. Some interesting 
results in the relation of trafic and the 
cost of maintenance under widely differ- 
ent conditions are expected. 
The stretch of road between Beverly 
Farms and Pride’s Crossing was among 
the roads on which the census was taken 
in this section. 
Help for Monterey. 
The American National Red Cross 
has issued an appeal for money to help 
the inhabitants .of Monterey. The early 
accounts of the disaster did not appear to 
demand international assistance, but later 
dispatches to the State Department. are 
as follows: . 
In Monterey, about two thousand per- 
sons drowned and fifteen thousand were 
made homeless. Practically the entire 
population of one hundred thousand have 
suffered loss. Many small towns and 
villages of the Province have been de- 
stroyed. PAID 
The American Red Cross has appro- 
priated $2,000 from the General Em- 
ergency Fund, and has sent this amount 
by telegraph to Mr. Hanna, Consul 
General for the United States at Mon- 
terey. He has been appointed repre- 
sentative of the Red Cross for this relief 
work. If-necessary the National Dir- 
ector, Mr. Bicknell, will go to the 
scene of disaster to assist inthe relief 
measures. 
Much more money is really needed 
and will be forwarded at once. Kindly 
send your contribution to our treasurer, 
W. QO. Chapman, Asiatic National 
Bank, Salem.
