We are the recipient of an enthusiastic ac-
count of a recent foot ball game between the
freshmen and sophomores at Dartmouth col
lege where the freshmen won the day by
score of lS to 6, which is considered great
triumph. Our informant was one of the vic
tors and escaped luckily without loss of life
or limb. In the evening the victory was
demonstrated by bonfire which required ex-
ceeded vigilance to protect, as the defeated
| tried in all ways possible to eXtinguish it but
were unsuccessful and finally gave up beaten.
There was good attendance at the grange
Tuesday evening and a literary program
under the direction of Mrs. Charles A. Wat
klnS was presented consisting OF readings,
| recitations and the discussion of the question,
Why farmers fail in cooperative buying and
selling. A spirited discussion ON this subject
was given, Messrs. Wright, Holmes and
Guild making each good points; they were
followed by Messrs. Beckley, Jennison,
Barnes and Ramsay whose remarks were all
productive OF interest, showing careful
thought on the subject. The environment of
| the farmer is the principal cause of the failure
| of cooperation. Regardless of corners or
syndicates, he must buy and sell in order to
gain livelihood which, more's the pity, is
often a meagre one. For restricted by cir
cumstances and hampered by these conditions
he finally loses interest and barely struggles
| through wretched existence. Organization
| is the crying need of the hour; farmers must
organize the same as other business men. In
union there is strength and given the right
| conditions, cooperation must to the farmer
| mean assured success. The matter of dane
ing in the grange also brought up for dis
| cussion and arguments for and against were
presented by both sides in an able manner.
The subject was finally put to vote and the
| nays had it, so that form of amusement is for
| ever tabooed in the future of the grange.
Mrs. Smalley was present after long absence
| from sickness and her many friends were
| glad to welcome her in their midst again.
