The rooters homeward plod their weary
And leave the field to doctors and to me.
In yonder ambulance that rumbles DER

Full many senseiees giant, bleeding,
And to the hospital went battered Tom

To count the many bruises Of the day.
For them no more the umpire's whistle
calls,
No more the megaphones will bid them
kill.
No more they'll have those thrilling dives
and falls
That have their sequel in the doctor &

Perhaps to this neglected ground there
creeps
Some chap who last year played the
game.
He takes one look-ah. how the poor chap
Across the field where he lost gore and
fame.
Full many star of purest ray serene
The white beds OF yon hospital now
bear:
Full many a players born to groan IN

And waste much arnica-Ekewfse much

Far from the madcing crowds ignoble

Hereafter they will limp their way
along
And play high five or shake the dice for

Or stick to that most quiet game, ping

the state and the last annual meeting
Of the state grange, held at Grand
Rapids, was, In many respects, the
most successful one ever held. There
are sixty-seven counties represented In
the list Of 731 subordinate oranges re-
ported up to Oct. 1. At this writing
there are something over 750 oranges in
the state.
One Of the most prominent questions
which have engaged the attention Of
the grange during the past year Is that
for real primary reform. There was an
attempt at the last meeting to swing
the grange from its position favorable
to honest primary elections, but it did
not avail A resolution was passed
favoring the nomination Of all candi-
dates by popular vote. Other PROPOSE
tons favored by the grange were the
following: Asking the legislature to
make Michigan railroads common car
riers Of live stock; renewing deciara-
ton for government ownership and con-
troll of all public utilities; favoring the
initiative and referendum; recommend
ing the state legislature to pass laws
preventing graft in the arrest of tramps;
requesting the Michigan Agricultural
college to supply programmes for local
grange meetings pertaining to the work
Of the college; declaring against the
proposed exemption from taxes Of land
planted with trees for reforestatiou;
lndorsing county system for improving
public highways; favoring the postal
savings bank system and the extern
sion Of rural free mail delivery serv-
ice; indorsing President Roosevelt's eff
forts to increase the power Of the inter-
state commerce commission to regulate
railroad rates; favoring a law for post
check currency and the removal of
revenue tax from domestic alcohol rem
dered unfit for use as q beverage.
Cooperation along business lines,
which has received increased emphasis
each year during Mr.. Horizons admin
istration has now become a very i'm
portant factor in the grange work Of
that state. The report Of the informa-
ton bureau shows that 425 oranges
were enrolled last year. Among the
years transactions were the purchase
of $4,000 worth Of clover seed and
nearly 1000 pounds of cheese, on which
n saving of from to 5 cents per pound
was effected. Many other articles were
handled, the result being In every case
satisfactory. This year an attempt will
be made to cooperate in selling farm
products as well as in buying farm
supplies.
A feature which was entirely new to
the state grange and which was q
notable success was the exhibit of farm
products for which prizes were offered.
Contests were engaged in corn, potato
and fruit exhibits. Grange fire insur-
ance is also very successfully carried
on in this state. There is now In force
$6,214, 544 in policies, net gain during
the year of over $2,O00,00O. There are
now 4,221 policies In force in the State
Patrons Mutual Fire Insurance COM
pany. In the four years Of its existence
the company has made but four assess
ments, which total only $7.25 on each
$1,000 Of insurance for the four years,
and 1t has never been obliged to make
an assessment for running expenses.
