He owns the 1g mterest in the association, ncorporated for $50,000. One proposition is for the cottage own- ers at the park to put up $1.000 each to the extent of $25.000. Mr. Shepard has been frank in say- ig that Catholic interests are nego- tating for the purchase of the pro- perty, and that if the control does not pass to the cottage owners themselves it hay go to representatives of the Catholic Church ~-- It was hinted that the park might be made the location of an extensive Catholic. summer séhool Bishop Henry Gabriels of the dincese of Og- densburg this afternoon told the Times correspondent at Ogdensburg that the local diocese was not inter- ested in the purchase of a site for a summer school at the Park inasmuch as it already has property at Platts burg valued at half a million dollars ich is used as a summer school, and takes care of all local require- ments It was pointed out atthe park that the purchase might be in the interest of some diocese other than Ogdens burg : The officers of the President, R.

In August, 1912, the Col- umbian Hotel was burned to the ground, together with a number of cottages, with an estimated damage 4 quarter of a million dollars About a year later a number of boat houses were destroyed with a loss of $15,000 After these fires the sum- mer population at the Park dwindled somewhat and plans were discussed to bring it once more in popular fa- jvor. One of the plans was for a tiew {club house to be erected over the wa- {ter but on account of the war this {project was abandoned. I. The Park fost none of its popular- ity on the part of the cottage owners, and they continued to spend summers there even after the had been burned. It was said to-day that in any event there would be a revival of the activi. ties at the Park, and that more amuse- ments would be provided. Tal S. Morgan, director of music at Ocean Grove, N.J., who also directs the mu- sic at Thousand Island Park, plans to establish. a sommer wonservdtory---of musci there, teaching both vocal and mstrumental music. Mr. Morgan plans to have an elaborate school there and have professional artists give concerts from time to time. Thousand 'Island Park seems to have been an outgrowth of the wave of religious sentiment which swept over the country in about 1874, Park is the outgrowth of the idea of Rev. J. F. Dayan; a Methodist minis- ter, who conceived the idea that the Methodist denomination would §up- port such a resort He selected the south-westerly. end of Wells Island as the best spot, and the land was purchased from Capt. Throop, con- sisting of about a thousand acres. The original capitalization was $15.- 000. The first trustess were Chan- cellor E. D, Haven ,Willard Ives, Col. A. D. Shaw, John F. Moffett, J. F. Dayan, E. C. Curtis, E. Reming- ton, James Johnson and M. D. Kin- hey. A large tabernacle was erected and religious services were held each Sunday. 4 The rules and regulations during the early days were so rigid that it was some time before the park grew into public favor, but of recent years the policy has become more liberal ized.

Oats, barley" and 'wheat are very similar up to a certain stage of their growth. Bar- ley has a 'slightly wider leaf than oats and wheat a slightly narrower. Therefore there is quite a differ- ence between barley and wheat. But is is always hard for an inex- prienced person -to distinguish oats from barley or oats from wheat. There is one way in which to distinguish oats at all stages of growth. Each and every leaf of the oat {leaf has {a slight imperfection about two-thirds of the length from the plant to the end. And while all have mot got a perfect letter "B" on them tRey all have the same Im- perfection, and one has only to ex- amine a few leaves in any green (oat field to find one which has a i very perfect letter '"B" on the leaf It seems strange to me that others have not been taught tigse simple distinctions in so commao a grain las oats. '1 can remember that oats had a letter "B" on each leaf as long ago 'as 135 years, so 1 can see no reason that it should have any connection with the 'present great war. i IN MARINE CIRCLES. | Movements of Vessels in and About { Kingston Harbor, | The steamer Omaha arrived from Lake Erie at 10 p.m. and cleared for Montreal at 10.15 p.m. on Thursday.
