Noisy Fires.

In Indian Territory a fire Is an-
nounced by the firing Of guns and re-
volvers, and newcomers to the country
are often frightened out of their wits
at their first experience of this way of
sounding the fire alarm. TIE follow
Ing extract from the Holdcnville Trib-
une Is a typical wrte-up Of fire in an
Indian Territory town: AT 8 o'clock
Monday morning the town was star
tied by the sound of gunnery and the
cries of fire. 1t seemed reproduc-
ton of Japanese-Russian engage
ment The chief thing of surprise was
the great number of firearms in the
city. Every man must have had from
one to three revolvers stored away
under his coat tail. The occasion Of
this particular alarm was the burning
Of the old Hamilton Johnson building.

funeral was at the church on Thurs
day-Mrs G G Day and daughter Ina,
visited friends in Chesaning on Tues

hauling in wheat. The wheat is fine

Tucker and wife visited his people at
Morrice over Sunday-The threshing
machine is heard already and all crops
reported good-We hear of several on
the sick list, some say we eat too much
Pastures are drying up very fast
and little rain would do lot of good

Saturday in behalf of the Electric Road

The Colt Monument.

The widowsof Colonel Samuel Colt,
inventor Of the revolver which bears
his name, Is about to put up In Hart
ford a monument to Colt, a bronze
statue Of heroic size on a granite ped
estal, flanked by exedrae, each Of which
bears bronze tablet and all standing
on a tier Of granite steps, lifting 1t
high in the air. In the midst of the
granite steps before the pedestal a
minor pedestal juts out, on which is
to be bronze figure of sailor boy
whiting out the rough model Of the
revolver, as Colt actually did on board
ship when he was fifteen years old In
1929. The tablets represent two mo-
ments In the history of Colt-that when
he was admitted to address the house
Of commons (the only instance of the
kind and that when the car of Rus
sia, Nicholas l., presented him two
gold rings. These scenes are under
stood to be the choice of Mrs. Colt.

cro,ro Educational work.

The splendid response which the
farmers are giving to the educational
work inaugurated by the Ohio state
grange is but another indication Of the
spirit that animates the times, says
Farm and Fireside.
One of the promising features OF the
matter IS that so many young people
are writing that they intend to enter
agricultural colleges this fall and want
to do little preliminary work. In
each case they desire others to work
with them. In one instance husband
and wife desire to take up the work
at once. whether the grange does or
not. The result Is inevitable. The
people desire to know and are ready
to avail themselves Of the opportunity
to make systematic study. One
graduate Of q college of agriculture
started q class at once In his grange.
It is indeed fortunate that a grange
can have such helper, but without
such help excellent work can be done,
as the books are written for practical
farmers. The desire to 20 this work Is
q logical development OF the education
al work carried on by press, grange,
departments of agriculture, expert
ment stations and colleges.

Blondlot Of Nancy, an eminent phys
icist In March, 1908, discovered the
N rays while trying to polarize the X
rays. He found that while giving off
Roentgen rays the tube also radiates
another sort Of energy which renders
a small electric spark more luminous.
Maragliano found that his training In
Y ray work had given him exceptional
acuteness of vision, which enabled him
to see the effects Of the N rays on
Blondlot's phosphorescent screens, al
though he admits that he could not get
all the results which have been claimed
by the Nancy school. such as seeing
the outlines Of the heart and outlining
the course Of nerve. In order to see
the effects of the N rays one must have
a sharp vision and great deal Of pa
thence, but they exist In spite Of the de-
malls Of many authors. The proof will
come when mathematicians will give
us a demonstration Of the existence of
these rays.-New York Medical Jour

GRANGE AND THE PRESS.
Increasing Number OF Papers That
Devote Space to the Grange.

Increasing Number OF Papers That
Devote Space to the Grange.
It is gratifying to note the attitude
Of the press of the country toward the
grange, as compared with only few
short years ago. All papers are will
ing and many are seeking to print
grange items and reports, and we con-
fess we are surprised, writes the mas
| ter Of Minnesota state grange, at the
unwillingness Of our members to help
themselves through this available and
| most fruitful medium. How can we
expect to acquaint the public with the
| work of the Order except we use the
press and pattern after successful
| business men in other callings and
place our goods before the people? We
do not advertise the grange enough in
our papers. 1t would add prestige
and increase interest, keeping the
members of the organization in touch
with one another, and give the outside
| world some idea of its work.
On this subject the master of the
Colorado state grange says: The print
ed page is by far the greatest means
of creating and diffuslng public senti-
| ment. The many and varied interests
of our country have their printed pub
| LEGATIONS for the purpose of benefiting
their special interest. We are pleased
to note that our Order has many pub
| lications devoted to the grange and
grange interests. Many papers are
now devoting a page and columns re-
porting and advocating the work of
the Order
The newspaper publisher is ever
ready to supply his readers with the
kind Of matter they desire, If he can
be assured of their wishes. So, granger
reader, If you appreciate the grange de-
partment in this paper, tell the ed
| itor so.

The Club Idea In Restaurants,

Many of the uptown restaurants IN
New York profit by an adoption Of the
club idea. When the regulars have es-
dablished their financial solidity the
diner simply signs his check as though
he were in his club. Many young men
who live well up to their incomes find
the idea convenient, and the restau-
rant profits by the fact that patron
frequently orders a dollar and half
dinner when third of that sum would
have to suffice were an immediate pay
ment expected. In one uptown restau-
rant four-hfths Of the tables are re-
served for regular patrons.

OREGON STATE GRANGE,

Yield It's Thirty-second Annual ses-
sion Last Month.
The Oregon state grange held its
thirty second annual session in For
est Grove last month. Although Ore
gon has few members as compared
with the eastern states, yet the secre-
tary reports total membership OF
5,493 In OF oranges.
Among the resolutions was one per-
tanning to a relief fund for o. II. KEEL
ley, founder Of the grange. The reso-
luton provided for a per capita tax on
all members, varying from 2 to 10
cents, and the national grange was
asked to raise sufficient fund for his
declining years.
The indiscriminate election to men,
bership of those who are not engaged
in agriculture was condemned. The
executive committee was authorized to
set aside q portion Of the initiation
fees as building fund, the money to
be available for building halls under
certain restrictions. The national
grange was requested to amend the
ritual by eliminating single degree
work and also to allow the voting for
candidates collectively instead Of sim
giy, as at present. Laws were asked
by the pure food committee for the
protection Of foods and dairy products.
In political and economic work the
grange advocated the initiative and
referendum. OF four measures re-
Gently submitted to the voters Of Ore
gon one provides for a tax Of 1
per cent on the gross earnings Of cor
porations. A modification Of the pres
ent law for the tax on farm lands will
be another. The third Is to empower
the governor to exercise his veto pow
er on any portion Of blanket appro-
priation bill, and the fourth Is to levy
tax of l per cent on sleeping car
companies, refrigerator car companies
and oil companies. The fire and life
insurance features are being advanced
in steady way.
