business, listened to the following sum-
mary of current events read by Y. P.
Lee:
CURRENT EVENTS.
Current events, or news, are classified into
local, county, State, national and foreign.
In the following presentation Of the same
the above order will be adhered to;
Milford Grange in on a boom.
AIr.J. J. Rosa has been dealing out sweets
to the sweet in Farmers Institutes.
MIR. Chas Barker has also been a speaker
his subject being "What I don't know about
small fruits"
Cookery demonstration at Farmers Insti-
thtes is a delicious innovation, as the discus
sion Of toothsome viands makes one forget
the aroma Offertilizers.
In his Washington Birthday Grafton Rev.
G. S. Walker made splendid use of the cherry
tree episode to inculcate truthfuness We
are sorry, however, that he himself deviated
from the path of historical truth. The factis
little George chopped down a big cherry tree
with his little hatehet. When his father asked
him who did 1t, he answered, bOy-llke, II
dunno" Then the boys conscience began to
trouble him, so he went to the old man and
said. "Father, did it; 1 can't tell a lie He
had already told one lie and now he tells an
other by saying he couldn't tell lie. We
like to think of Washington as human and
imperfect like ourselves. But while some
boys would keep on lying till the father of lies
claims them, it. is not recorded that Washing
ton ever lied any more.
A minister OF the NJ. E. Church in lower
sussex, in denouncing vote selling recently,
said that men could be bought cheaper than
swine. Apologies are due for offending the
innocent porker by mentioning him in one
breath with the sellers of their political birth

one Geo. Kennan found himselffamousl last
week. Friday, through certain wild charges
he made against one of the political powers
OF Delaware and his heutenants, in maga-
zine called the "Outlook." A certain para
graph in the article in question certainly
threatened to destroy the domestic happiness
Of at least q Delaware families. We are glad
to report that after he had obtained all the
free advertising he could, Kennan wired that
II had TO do with the Legislature OF 1850, And
now everybody is smiling again and Joy Is
uneonfned. For the Legislature OF 1910 mas
passed into deserved oblivion,
