If the editors of the country were to settle the question, Hawaii would soon be annexed to Uncle Sam's domain. For once, as the New Haven Palladium re- marks, jingoism is absent and there is a broad comprehension of the present con- dition of these United States and of our relation to other powers that might de- sire to establish protectorate over bit of appropriated territory like that over which kalakaua and his daughter ruled destructively.

A CHANGE ORGANIZED.

There was an enthusiastic meeting at the Town hall, last Friday evening, at which was perfected the organization of a grange. The organization begins with 2l charter members. It is felt by not a few that grange will meet long felt need in bringing those engaged in agri- culture together in a common interest. It is only by cooperation, exchange of thought, and unity of purpose that any people become strong. All the profes- sions organize, other classes of men organ ize and why should not farmers? How much better for farmers to come togeth- CT and discuss such subjects as: 1.-The inn provement of country roads, The arch- itecture of country residences, ; and many other practical subjects of vital interest, not only to farmers but to every one, than to al How SO much time to be misused. In so far as this society works along these great lines of thought and effort of so much interest to every farmer, is it like ly to truly succeed. Undoubtedly there will be those whose age or present duties will make it impossible for them to help this organization as they would like, who will nevertheless wish 1t we'll.

Handling Chiffon Paint there is one thing you may be sure of-he is trying to furnish the public with goods which have merit. He buys the highest priced paint in the market and in or der to compete with other paint, he is obliged to make less money per gallon than his competitors If he handles good paint he doubtless carries the same line of policy through his en- tire stock How then with a smaller profit can he exist? Watch the mum Der of customers that call upon him daily and you have the answer. It does not take the public long to find out what is good and where to get it.
