Up to the present time this season the
conditions for logging in the Maine
woods have been the best the lumber
men have experienced for several years.
The crews went into the woods early
and the operators were urged by the
strong market for lumber to 60 in
heavier than usual. The conditions up
to the present time have justified them
in all they that have done. Though the
fall was very dry the lack of rain which
kept the streams and ponds at low
stage also kept the roads dry and the
early operations were conducted under
favorable conditions. The ground froze
up early and there was fine bottom for
the snow when 1t came.

Annual Meeting of the State Grange.


The State Grange held its annual meet
ing in Bangor last week, the sessions
opening on Tuesday and closing Thurs
day night. There was an attendance of
several hundred.
State Master Gardner made his annual
report on the first day of the meeting.
From the statistics given in his report it
appears that there have been organized
during the year two Pomona Oranges,
making q total of twenty-six Pomonas
now organized in the sixteen counties of
the state. Up to the close of the grange
year, Sept. 80, there had also been
organized fourteen new subordinate
oranges, and two had been reorganized,
making $50 oranges in the state at the
close Of the year. Since that time several
new oranges have been organized and
many additions to the membership have
been made. The gain for the year was
1922, which made the membership at the
close of the year 1858, and with the in
crease since that time, the total member
ship now is substantially $4,000.
During the eight years which Mr..
Gardner has been master he has dedicat-
ed seventy-six grange halls, and Maine
now stands at the head as regards the
number of grange halls owned by the
oranges, as compared with any other
state in the Union. By an actual inven-
tory of the property there 10 now invest
cd In grange homes in Maine the sum of
$S14,000. Master Gardeners report dealt
with matters Of legislation in which the
grange is Interested, as well as other
matters, at some length.
At the election of officers on Wednes-
day, Hon. Obadiah Gardner of Rock
land, who has been master for four terms
of two years each, WAS reelected. On
the first ballot Mr.. Gardner received
200 votes, C. 8. Stetson Of Greene 152,
j. A. Roberts Of Norway 90, Boyden
Bearce of Eddington %, and r. d. Leav-
lit of Turner 2. There was no choice,
but on the second ballot Mr.. Gardner
was elected. Boyden Bearce of Edding-
ton was chosen overseer, w. ]. Thomp-
son Of China lecturer, and c. w. Benson
of Sanford steward.
The sixth degree was conferred on 800

President Butler of Columbia enun-
ciates one of the two really sound argu-
ments against college football when be
says, in a letter to the college daily,
1.-The game which this committee has
developed is not sport, but profess
sion. 1t can be participated in only by
the merest fraction of the student body. "
Football has its opponents and its de-
tenders, and the argument and the rea-
son are not all on one side, although
some of the advocates seem to think
they are. After all is said, there are two
objections that can not be put out of
sight, against the game as now played.
One is the element of danger, be the
same more or less, and the other is that
given by President Butler. Football
gives extreme development to certain
fraction of the students. 1t does not
provide wholesome physical training for
the body of students, or even for the
greater part of them. And yet for a
number of weeks every year it absorbs
the attention of the student body and the
public as being the hub around which
the institution revolves.

A remarkable quilt sold at recent
fair in Saco contained 1857 pieces, and
by a successful scheme of sale it brought
$500 into the treasury. Perhaps it
would be unkind to suggest that that
price represents almost three-quarters
of a cent for the work and material in
each piece in the quilt.

In the other case, against an agri-
cultural society, it is declared that such
a society is bound to use reasonable care
in keeping its grounds safe for visitors,
and when such a society, even by impli-
cation, invites its patrons to cross the
racing track to reach the space enclosed
by the track, it is bound to use reason
able care to keep the track safe. that
"a patron of such fair, while crossing
the racing track by invitation of the
society. express or implied, is not bound
to be as watchful for teams approaching
along the track as he would be in cross
ing a public road. He may assume that
the society is using reasonable care to
keep the track clear of such teams"

Two decisions recently handed down
b, the law court are of special interest
as defining the liability of certain cor
pOrations. In a case against a railroad
the court cites the fact that persons
walking upon the track are trespassers,
even if not prosecuted by the railroad
for so doing. and that they are bound to
apprehend that locomotives may be APP
preaching and to keep constant look
out for them. Engineers are not bound
to stop or even slacken speed merely
from the fact that persons are walking
on the track, but have the right to as
sumo that such persons are aware of the
approach of the engine and engineers are
not bound to use all possible effort to
stop the engine until they have reason
to believe that such persons are actual
ly not aware of the approach of the
locomotive.
