EFFECTS OF CLIMATE.
Health and Energy Flourish Best In
the Temperate Zones.

Grant Dexter In his book on Wealth
er Influences" says that inhabitants
of hot climates are usually listless, un-
inventive, apathetic and improvident
An equable high temperature, especial
" If moist, weakens body and mind.
No long established lowland tropical
people Is a conquering race In the
broadest sense Of the word. For the
inhabitants of the higher attitudes,
even under the tropical sun, this may
be true, for as we ascend the 'tempera-
ture lessons about / degree every 30
feet on an average, and even at the
equator we may have a temperate
climate. The most favorable tempera-
ture for health, which carries with It
an aggressive energy which leads and
which has led the world march of civ
ilization, is about 40 degrees on an
average, and this is found In the tenn
perate races From there have come
the Drawn. and brain of martial con-
quest and Intellectual attainment. The
dominant peoples are shown between
the ATTITUDES Of % degrees and 50 de-
grees.
During the London fogs and on days
when the weather Is particularly de-
pressing In the Bank of England GER
tain sets of books, an error in which
would be cumulative and produce dis
astrous results further on, are locked
up and the clerks set to tasks less In
tricate and important in character.
Experience has taught those In charge
that the percentage Of error increases
many fold during such climatic condi-
tons and that it is money in pocket
to yield to them. The same necessity
for cessation OF certain lines of work
during bad spells of weather is recog-
nized by the larger banking institu-
tons in New York and the other east
ern cities.
"It has been the universal experience
of the sunerintendents Of prisons and
asylums for the insane that the per-
sons in their charge varied so marked
ly with the meteorological conditions
that no man could doubt that the rela- /,
ton between the weather and emotion
al states was any other than that Of
cause and effect. When asked, how
ever, what definite conditions Of the
weather tended to be the most pro-
ductive Of emotional abnormalities no
satisfactory answer could be made"

Worthy Masters Annual Address ana
secretary's Report.
The national grange convened Nov.
16, 1904, at Portland, Ore. In his an
nual address National Master Aaron
Jones of South Bend, Ind, said, among
other things:
"Our Order is national one, ma
.tional in all its work, knowing no
north, no south, no east, no west. Unit
ed by the silken cord of fraternity, it is
laboring to make happier and more
prosperous homes on the hills and in
the valleys of New England, among
the sugar, rice and cotton fields of the
south, the corn, wheat and pastural
lands of the central states as well as
to increase the sunshine and prosperity
of the farm homes of our brothers and
sisters who live In the fertile valleys
famed by the breeZes of the Pacific
ocean. 1t is the purpose of this great
fraternity to increase the sunshine and
happiness in the 100000 farm homes
and make agriculture more prosperous
in all parts of our glorious country.
1t has still higher and grander objects,
among which are to elevate the stand
ard of intelligence among the farming
population and to inspire in them more
exalted ideas of citizenship.
"This organization is one Of the
great educational forces that teaches,
among other things, that honesty, fair
dealing, giving value received in all
exchanges, industry, frugality and
thrift and observing the Golden Rule
are essential characteristics of good
citizenship. Setting its seal of con-

practices, eXtortlon or robbery, wheth

DDS or by the more vulgar practice OF
common stealing, thus building up q
public sentiment that will ostracize the
man or corporation that amasses mil
lions of dollars in any other way than
honorable methods, based on the prin-
ciple of giving value received for all
labor or articles of value.
Successful agriculture cannot be Sc
cured by physical labor alone. The
methods of the past will not win sue
cess now. Past methods have exhaust
ed the fertility of the soil to an alarm
ing extent. Such system must be
adopted as Will restore lost fertility
and increase it. The grange is the
school where this system should be
taught. This implies, which is true,
that successful agriculture has been
transformed from a business Of phys
ical labor mainly to one dominated by
intellectual forces. knowledge Of the
great laws governing soil management,
vegetable and animal growth, applied
science in the culture of land, breeding
and feeding of domestic animals. The
farmers of today and the future must
be students and the grange the school
and the medium for the exchange of in
formation and methods between farm
ers, that all may profit by the knowl-
edge gained by each. This is practical
cooperation that is profitable alike to
farmers and all the people"
He recited the achievements of the
grange during the past years, especial
ly emphasizing the establishment of
the agricultural department and sys-
TEN of rural free delivery of mail as
among the most distinctive and impor-
tant. He recommended further action
on the part of the state and subordi-
nate oranges favoring:
First.-A law that would compel all
property to bear its just proportion Of
taxation.
Second.-Antltrust law and provision
for state inspection of all corporations.
Third.-A pure food law.
Fourth.-A law giving the state rail-
road commission full power for fixing
the rate for freight and passenger serv-
fee.
Fifth.--Such n revision Of fees and
salaries as will place them on an equi-
table basis.
National Secretary 9. M. Freeman re-
ported that there had been issued dur
ing the year 2S1 charters for new
oranges, 10 duplicate charters, 620
seventh degree certificates and 2,69S
sixth degree certificates. The total re-
ceipts Of the secretary's Office during
the year were: From degree fees and
state dues, $1,349; charter fees, $4,215;
sales of supplies and stock, $2,S5261;
dues, $425; total, $9,040.S6. The total
expenses of the office were $9O1.75.
There have been 2S1 new oranges or
ganized during the year, of which
Michigan has g. New York "a. Penn
Bylvania 33, Indiana 81, Maryland 16,
Vermont 16, Washington 10. There
have been 50 oranges recognized.
Thus the total of new and recognized
oranges for the year is 1863.

SHOOTING TOURN-
AMENT THURSDAY

What promises to be one of the
most interesting events in the his
tory of the Sistersville Gun club,
their midsummer target tourna-
ment, will take place next Thurs
day, the 18th.
A very neat little program has
been mailed to the shooters
throughout the State, calling for
200 rounds per man, with So
cash added as prize money to each
event.
Quite a number have already
signifed their intention OF being
present, among them some OF the
best shots in the world. These
experts, however, will not be al
lowed to participate in the dlvls-
ion of the several purses, but will
shoot for the price of targets only,
their presence being for the pur-
pose of showing their goods and
assisting in making the affair a
success. The first to send word
that he expected to be on hand
was Ralph L. Trimble of Coving-
ton, KY, who will represent the
Winchester Repeating Arms com
pany, of New Haven, Conn. While
Mr.. Trimble is conceded to be one
of the best target shots in America
he is also one of the most expert
rife shots the country has pro-
duced, and during his stay here
will give an exhibition OF this
style of shooting, using one OF the
Winchester peoples latest pro-
auctions in the art Of gunmaking.
