What Us the Grange,

With 100000 members in the United
States, 1t would seem altogether un-
necessary to ask or answer the question.
But this paper may come under the
eye of someone who is not familiar with
Its aims and principles. 1t is an organ
lzation of farmers for their mutual well
fare. Among the specific objects
named in its declaration of purposes are
these: To develop better and higher
manhood and womanhood among our
selves; to enhance the comforts and at
fractions of our homes; to further CO.
operation; to buy less and produce
more in order to make our farms self
sustaining; to bring producers and con-
sumers, farmers and manufacturers into
the most direct and friendly relations
possible. The grange is nonpartisan,
yet its principles underlie all true poll
lies and craftsmanship. 1t believes in
farmers cooperating together in every
legitimate manner for their own protec-
lion and to enhance their mutual inter-
ssts.
The order Is called the Patrons OF
Husbandry" and the head of the Ma
tional Grange Is Hon. Aaron Jones, of
South Bend, Ind. Twenty-eight states
have state organizations. Below them
are the county organizations called Po-
mona oranges and below these are the
numerous subordinate oranges. Meet
lngs are held of these subordinate
oranges once month or oftener, where
subjects pertaining to the farmers in
terests, social, educational and agri-
cultural, are discussed. Women are on
an equality with men in the grange and
to them not little of the wonderful sue
cess of the organization Is due. Its
purpose may be stated in word to be:
To uplift the farmer morally, socially,
educationally and materially.

term for drink is doubtless included
all kinds Of intoxicants from cider to
absinthe. and under literature every
grade from reprints Of Shakespeare to
the latest novel Of Marie Corelli. It
would be amusing. were it possible. to

A Foundation Principle.

ITO develop better and higher man
hood and wonanhood among ourselves"
is one Of the foundation principles of
the grange. When we begin to look
around US to see how we can tighten
the burden on some other shoulders,
then it is that we begin the develop
ment of truly higher type Of manhood
and womanhood within ourselves. II
we can put some touches of rosy sum
set into the life of those about us. then
we must feel that We have not lived In
vain.

IL IL, It I. Not.

The medical fraternity. almost with
out exception maintain that the use Of
tobacco Is celeterious to the health In a
greater or less degree. Palpitation of
the heart. disturbance Of the nervous
system. decline Of physical and mental
Igor. and resultant death are frequent
and indisputable evidences Of its evil
effects: while on the other hand many
people addicted to an excessive use OF
tobacco have enjoyed uninterrupted
and exuberant health to the end, and
1nally died Of old age.

A pious citizen has l5-year-old son
chip off the old block" Not long ago the
father discovered to his sorrow that hls
boy and several others of the neighbor-
hood had habit of matching nlckeis.
The wrathtul parent led the erring lad to
the time-konored attic, where hangs
certain strap. The boy didn't have any
agreeable impression of what was to come,
and, on the ground that it is only the first
plunge that counts, he called out: Say,
dad! I'll go you heads or tails for two
hckings or none!"-Chicago Chronicle.

The grange approves Of the study o,
elementary agriculture in the public

Latest Kansas Events.
Administration building Needed.

Administration Building Needed.
For 35 years the administrative Of
ices of the University of Kansas have
peen in what is now known as Fraser
hall, the Oldest building on the South
campus. These Offices have always been
IN what were really intended for rec
itation rooms, without any of the mod
srn Office conveniences. This room
was ample when the attendance at the
university numbered but few hun
1red, but now, with an attendance OF
400 and the prospect Of 1000 in a
very few years, the Offices are found to
De entirely inadequate for the work re-
Iuired to be done. Ten years ago the
'egistrar's Office occupied a room 10 by
IA feet 1t was then moved to another
recitation room about three times that
size and during last summer it was
;ound necessary to secure still larger
pace and to meet the need one of the
argest recitation rooms in Fraser hall
vas remodeled and is now used for the
purpose. Yet there is absolutely no
protection from fire for the many val
liable records in the Office. There Is
20 fire-proof vault in the building.
The registrar has the records of over
10000 students who have attended the
university and their loss by fire would
be a calamity the extent of which could
not be estimated. The chancellor's
office is in cramped quarters and to
meet the growing needs of the univer-
sity his duties demand much larger
and better equipped rooms. The secre-
tary and purchasing agent has half fa-
cilities for his work with only room
enough for his desk and that of his
assistant and the fire-proof safe. A
new building entirely separate from the
other buildings and strictly fire-proof
must be erected in the near future to
meet the growing needs of the admins
trat1ve Offices.
