TIE POMONA GRANGE.
Duties OF The County Lecturer Dedn-
cd-POmona Grange Programme.

Mrs. i. y. Saunders, the efficient
lecturer of the Michigan state grange,
points out some Of the requirements
for a successful Pomona grange meet
ing IN The following extracts, which
we take from an article in an agri-
cultural paper:
strictly speaking the Pomona grange
is fifth degree body though much
OF its work is done in tie fourth de
gree. in fact, the business Of any
grange is transacted in the fourth de
gree. Pomona grange officers preside
and wear the regalia Of the fifth de
gree. When working the fifth degree
the assistants shall in taking up the
work require, first, the Pomona an
nuai; second, the fifth degree work;
third, the fourth degree annual; last
", the fourth degree work.
1t is the duty Of the Pomona lee
turer TO prepare the programme and
announce the same 10 all oranges in
the county at least ten days before
the meeting. In most counties this
is done through a little printed slip
or folder programme, a copy Of which
is mailed to each subordinate lecturer,
who upon receipt of same will prompt
ly present it TO his or her grange. 4
copy should also be sent each member
whose name appears on the pro
gramme. In addition, the Pomona
lecturer should arrange for publication
of the programme in ali the local
papers in the county. We may say
that the first requirement, toward
successful Pomona grange is for the
lecturer to prepare good programme
and then advertise it well As the jul
risdictiOn of the Pomona grange is the
entire county, let the meetings be
widely known throughout the county"

INCORPORATING ORANGES.


Advantage ODtaineu Dy InCOrDOra-
tion Over Association.
The question often arises among
members of the grange, What advan-
tage is there in Incorporating a grange
under the laws of the state? 4 grange
that is duly organized under the au-
thOrity of charter from the national
grange is an unincorporatcd associa-
ton or society of individuals. The as
ISOLATION of its members is governed
by their constitution or bylaws formu-
lated in accordance with the constitu-
ton and bylaws of the state or ma
tional grange Nevertheless such an
association has a we'll defined legal
status under the laws of the state.
To change this association into an in
cOrporated body gives it the same
status virtually as a person and having
all of the powers and privileges of a
single person in 50 far as these powers
and privileges do not go beyond the
scope of the charter of incorporation.
What powers and privileges, then, are
gained by Incorporation? The broad
principle may be laid down that the
chief advantage which a corporation
has from incorporation lies in the fact
that the members of the corporation
are relieved from personal liability for
the debts of the corporation.
In Pennsylvania and in some other
states corporations are known as cor
p0rations for profit and those not for
profit. The grange is a corporation not
for profit, and as such its members are
not personally liable for any debts Of
the corporation. \ creditor seeking to
recover a claim would lie confined to
the property Of the corporation and
could not proceed to sell the property
Of individual members. as he could if
it We're partnership. In an uninc0rpo-
rated grange the property of the asso-
citation is the property of all the mem
berS, and upon dissolution Of the asso-
citation the property must be divided
among the members in just proportion.
In q word then. it may be stated
that tie subordinate or Pomona grange
gains 10 powers by incorporation, but
the members thereof gain the advan-
tage Of exemption from personal LA
bility for tia debts Of the association,
and it is deemed advisable for any
grange that intends entering upon
commercial transactions or into any
mercantile business to become incor-

Makes Il strong Plea For the Neg

The ideal town Of the twentieth Gel
/ fury is thus defined by Lucy Maynard
Salmon, \. NJ, professor Of history at
Nassar college:
a town with clean streets. well
sprinkled streets lined with well cared
for shade trees.
Streets and roads that are freed
from billboards that are Il stencil in
the community.
Vacant lots now used as dumping
places turned into attractive squares.
Benches along the roadside for
weary pedestrians.
Back yards that are visions Of
beauty instead of eyesores.
Window boxes that brighten dull
walls and recreation piers on the banks
of the river.
All these make for patriotism as
well as for civic beauty and righteous
ness.
If it is true that the boy without
playground is father TO the man with
out job we may we'll shrink from
looking into the future Boys and girls
are turned loose on the streets Mis-
chef. vice and crime result. and when
these conditions become unbearablc we
turn to the curfew as a negative
means Of dealing with conditions that
ought never to have existed"
Miss Salmon also makes plea for
social reform. She advances as a con-
trast to the existing aristocratic clubs
settlement plan which shall provide
amusement and offer instruction to the
other half"
In her plea for the neglected thou

Salmon says:

MYSTERIES OF DEATH VALLEY
Fascination for ThsSe Who Brave Its
Dangers Legends of Finds.

While gold seems to be the underly-
ing cause of the great interest taken
in Death Valley, yet a mysterious fas-
cination takes possession of all who
once brave its dangers. Numerous leg
ends have been handed down from gen
Grafton to generation of strange hap
penings almost beyond human explana-
ton, yet at the bottom of all runs the
streak of gold, for which men daily sell
their lives and oftentimes their very
souls.
Old Indian trails and signs still point
the way from spring. to spring telling
whether the water is good or bad, the
distance from one to the other, the
passable and impossible canons, the 10
cation of old Indian villages, etc. In
order to read the signs correctly one
must be familiar with their ways and
customs, and even then it has become
difficult on account of changes that are
cOnstan tly aking place through natural
and human agencies.
The trails are of different periods.
some being much later than others. At
intervals beside the trails are monu-
ments Of stone, with a pointed rock
showing the direction to take Two rocks
pointing in opposite directions Indicate
that it is impossible The location of
metal stones are also significant. A
metal stone is fiat stone followed in
the center, used for grinding acoms for
flour, and will be found not more than
half days travel from water. Many
springs known to the Indians are not
down on the maps.
EndeavOring to find a pass through
the mountains on a recent trip, a party
followed the Indian trail and signs and
were led a course which passed three
springs and some old breastworks which
Indians had used to hide behind when
lying in wait for mountain sheep. One
OF the first gold eXcitements was back
in the SOS, when Breyfogle found fine
gold, but was unable to return to the
exact spot. He was afterward hit with
stone hurled by an Indian, which is
supposed to have injured his brain.
Beatty has expressed the opinion that
the Breytogle find was etWeen Willow
Springs and the Original Bullfrog.
Charlie Nyman thinks it is between
Keane Springs, Willow Springs and
Death Valley, while one of Breyfogle's
party described Hole-in- Rock. The
wind breaks supposed to have been used
by Breyfogle are located about eighteen
miles south of Rhyalite. Another legend
is Of an Indian who went into Cerro
Gordo with a rock full of free gold.
which he sold for S.. The white men
tried to get him to tell where he found
it, but the Indian was wise and kept its
location to himself. He was accidentally
killed a short time after while hunting
sheep, and the secret died with him.
Some think this find was the same as
Breyfogle's.
The valley itself is about all that it
has been painted. At times a man or
beast would mire out Of sight, and at
other times the shifting sands would
almost bury him alive. Yet men live
there year after year without feeling
that they are mourning any unusual
amount of danger. They know where
they may and may not go and how to
prepare for emergencies. -Phyolite

Of all the errors that grange speak
er can commit We believe that to make
a too lengthy address is about the
greatest The speaker must be in
tensely interesting and have a very
important message if he attempts to
hold the attention of an audience at
one of the field day meetings or any
other for an hour. Better far to speak
thirty minutes and have the undivided
attention of the audience than to talk
an hour and have the audience rejoice
when you close. 1t will be we'll for
most speakers to remember what the
old Scotchman had to say about the
preacher. Coming out of church before
the service was ended, his friend ac-
costed him and asked, rs the preacher
through?' The old Scot replied, "He
was through a half hour ago, but he
hasn't stopped yet"

Frank Schmitz and DR.. Ragan Are
Too Friendly With Shook & Go.
Experts Examine
Bills air Have
Audited

Expert accountants have
brought to light remarkable con-
dition OF affairs in the purchasing
departments of the city hospitals
and the alrnhouse. Certain
firms have been favored to a de-
gree which has aroused suspicion.
Frank Schmitz. brother of the
Mayor, superintendent of the
almshouse, may be called upon
to do some explaining before the
Grand Jury. As the Mayor and
Herbert Schmitz have already
been given some little attention by
the Grand Jury, Frank will find
the association not altogether un-
congenial
While Frank Schmitz will be
asked pertinent questions as to
the almshouse, Or Ragan, the
Health Officer, m&ss Be requested
to stand sponsor for the County
Hospital Supervisor Lonergan
and the firm of James Shook &
Co. may also figure in the case.
Shook g. Go. have been awarded
the contract for the bulk OF the
supplies for the county institu-
tons In some instances it be-
comes necessary to purchase sup
plies for which no contracts have
been made 1t appears that Shook
& Co. were generally first in the
thoughts of the men who conduct
the city institutions. Shook &
Co. received unfavorable mention
in the press early in the year,
when a Grand Jury made inquiry
into the supplies furnished to the
Sheriff's Office.
The amount of city business
which fell TO the firm of Shook &
Co. for the present year was
placed, after hasty investigation.
at more than $4,000, and posi-
bly, 100000.
Special items have been noted
by the accountants for further ex-
animation. In most instances the
prices were fixed by contract To
complete the examination it will
be necessary to inquire into the
quality as we'll as the quantity of
the articles supplied.
Most OF the bills of Shook & Co.
have been certified to by Frank
Schmitz or DR.. Ragan. These
officials have appended their
names to a stamped statement on
each bill to the effect that the
goods in quality and quantity are
up to specifications.
