GRANGE HALLS.
Their Advantages to BE Discussed at
December Meetings.

Their Advantages to BE Discussed at
December Meetings.
What are the advantages derived by
grange from the ownership of a grange
hall?
The advantages derived are very
similar to the advantages derived by a
person who owns rather than rents his
home. Doubtless there are instances
where a leased hall for use of the
grange would be less expensive than
owning hall, when interest on the
money invested, repairs, insurance and
care are reckoned, but even this does
not often occur When it does, it is
no argument that should have weight
against grange owning a hall. A
religious society would not expect to
be permanently successful that held its
services in leased halls. A town or
school district does not hire a hall In
which to hold school. The government
is erecting elegant buildings in all the
large cities for the transaction of its
business, although at many times the
annual expense that a leased hall would
cost The fundamental idea in all these
matters is one of permanency and that
an association or society of any kind
is more likely to be permanent if it is
able to meet within its own walls. In
addition to this, there is IL sentimental
idea in regard to grange owning its
hall that does not appear in all the
other instances cited. When owned it
seems more like home to the organl-
cation. More interest will be taken in
identifying and adjoining it, and this
will increase the interest in the grange
itself. 1t will have that semblance Of
comfort and will instill a feeling of CO.
operation and contentment among the
members of the grange that can hardly
be secured in any other way. Conten-
ton and strife are less likely to occur,
and the grange room will begin to have
an attraction for members second only
to that of their own homes. They will
find themselves looking forward to the
time of the next meeting not so much on
account of the exercises that are to be
held as on account of the feeling that
the meeting will be in some sense n
home gathering of members of the
grange household, and no such intense
feeling could be developed If meetings
were held in leased or public hall. In
short, the owning of a hall by a grange
adds permanency to the organization
degree.-National Grange Bulletin.

IMPROVED RUBBER TIRE.
Prevents Slipping when Turning
Sharp Corners.

Prevents Slipping when Turning
Sharp Corners.
Motorists all know that the greater
percentage of automobile accidents are
due to side slipping or skiddng. 1t IS
to eliminate as far as possible this
dangerous feature that the tire here
With illustrated is designed. The tire
depends for its action on the fact that
n square edged piece of rubber cannot
be made TO slip on a smooth or wet
rurface. Fig. shows a tire as fitted
to an ordinary wagon wheel, it being
necessary only to bore a few holes
through the felly for the bolts which
serve to hold the rings. The illustra-
ton shows the original iron tire still
in place, which allows of using the We
hcle with or without rubber tires, as
desired.
The surface T represents the normal
tread surface. Upon rounding a curve
the tendency would be to bring the
secondary tread surface T in contact
with the roadbed. This interposes the
edge L. which under ordinary condi-
tons is calculated to prevent skidding.
Should the speed be unusually great
or the curve very short there is still
secondary edge, E, to be called into
play. The foundation layers of sup

STATE GRANGE OFFICERS.
Opinion on Their Election by Worthy
Master HOrtOn of Michigan.


Master Horton of Michigan.
The editor of this department re-
Gently submitted a question as to GER
tain suggested changes in the methods
of clecting state grange officials to
Worthy Master Horton, and his reply
fellows Tie questions referred to the
proposed choice of state grange OIL
Gals by Pomona oranges, which We're
to submit list of candidates to the
state grange for the consideration and
action of the stale grange delegates.
Tie other question referred to the
making of nominations on the floor of
the grange the same as at political
conventions. SIr. Horton states very
clearly his reasons for the present sys-
tenn Of voting. He says:
The constitution of our Order defines
who are eligible to vote in the state
grange, and the provisions covering this
important matter are in harmony with
the basic plan of the grange structure.
The election of officers being one of the
chief functions of the state grange, con-
stitutional provisions for voting would
very naturally include and govern the
matter of such elections. To change the
unit of authority in the matter of elect
ing officers in state oranges from the
state grange itself to the members at
large or to the medium representation in
Pomona oranges would require a revi-
sion of the constitution and quite a rad
zeal change in the whole organic plan as
conceived and promulgated by the found
ers. While on general principles | favor
democratic npOnlp'S
does not seem plain that in this fraternal
body of ours fraternal brotherhood and
good will would be better served than
now; while on the other hand much con-
tention and strife might be engendered.
Such strife and contention would be all
right in a political organization and con-
ventons, but it was foremost in the
minds of the founders of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry to bind the tllers
of the soil together in fraternity. and all
members agree that this silken cord
should not be broken. 1t has always been
the governing thought to eliminate all
political tactics and methods of advan-
tage getting from grange elections. The
question is very important in that so
much of the original grange plan of
structure is involved.
Regarding nominations and supporting
speeches, l fear that If 1t were permitted
state grange sessions would have to be
greatly extended. AS above stated, 1t has
been the rule to eliminate all semblance
of political caucus and convention meth
DDS from grange meetings and procedure
AS 1t Is now done every member has a
right and fair chance to have his or
her name presented. and all members
have the right to n secret ballot thereon.
Under present methods oranges may hold
an election, and no member will have his
rights and privileges abridged or sighted
So far as nominations are concerned. I
am in favor of the present method.

MOTH PROOF CLOTH.
Russian Scientist Makes an Impor-

russian Scientist Makes an Impor-
tant Discovery.
Professor NJ. l. Sitowski of the Uni
versity of Cracow has made a discov-
cry which will render clothes immune
against the attacks of clothes moths.
The discovery is reported in the Bull
Ietin de PAcademie DIES Sciences de
Cracovie.
The professor has prepared liquid
with which he soaks the cloth to be
protected. This liquid poisons the
,arva or the maggot of the clothes moth
as soon as it attacks the fabric. The
Iarva dies Immediately upon taking
one bite of the CLOTH and consequently
does no appreciate damage. After
few larvae have been killed they
cease to attack the cloth at all. for
such is the Intelligence or instinct of
.hese little creatures that they quickly
earn to know what is fatal to them.
The liquid is colorlesS, and conse-
1uently does not stain the cloth or
other fabric 1t is not poisonous to
human beings. 1t does not diminish
the durability of clothes or impair their
wearing qualities in any way. 1t will
be desirable in future that the cloth
makers should soak their product in
the liquid before sending it out, but
private persons can obtain the new
fluid and apply it to their garments in
case they have not been rendered moth
proof The liquid is also fatal to silk
and fur moths

There are many ways of caring for
an orchard. We work our land in corn
as long as possible, in order to cult
vate the trees and keep the land clean.
This is TO prevent us being troubled by
rabbits. Where there are no trees or
grass we can put the richness back
into the soil with clover. If the land IS
rich this clover may be cut for hay; if
poor it should be left and turned under
to enrich the land as much as possible.
Never plant any of the small grains in
the orchard Growth is the most nee
essary item for the young tree.-T. II.

ALFALFA SEEDING.

south of Chicago.
Where thirty-siX inches Of rain or
more falls alfalfa should be seeded in
August or early in September in the
northern states south of line drawn
east and west through Chicago. This
has been proved to be true for eastern
Kansas, Iowa and Illinois and Is prob
ably true all through the section named
clear to the Atlantic ocean. The rain
fall is good; the land has been under
cultivation for many years and is well
filled with weed seeds. Under these
conditions spring seeded alfalfa has
hard fight with weeds, crab grass and
fox tail and in a majority of cases is
either beaten or the stand Is thin.
With fall seeding an early crop can be
taken off, the alfalfa seeded and three
or four crops of hay gathered the next
year, no time being lost.
The loss from winter killing and
heaving out is much less where alfalfa
is sown in the late summer. 1t should
be sown early enough to make eight to
ten inches of growth before the ground
freezes. In every instance known to

Where an early crop of potatoes or

the ground should not be plowed, but
leveled, and the surface fined. This
makes an ideal seed bed.
Early oats and small grain can be cut
for hay or harvested for grain if they
ripen in time. The ground should be
plowed at once and well narrowed each
