THE GRANGE STORE.
Has 1t Any Claim That VIII Justify

Has 1t Any Claim That VIII Justify
Its Establishments
Sometimes those who are not mem.
bers of the grange ask the question II
it is right for the grange to start a
store and thus enter into competition
with stores already established, and, il
may be, In smaller towns to crowd out
the country store. The question is very
well answered in the New York Farm
er, which proceeds to discuss it some
what Mt length:
IF the farmers can, by purchasing
for themselves what they have pur-
chased for years through the store and
by selling for themselves what the
store has for years sold for them, get
their purchased supplies at lower prices
and sell their own products for better
prices there is no reason why they
should not go into cooperative buying
and selling. In cases where oranges
have bought and sold, the results have
been satisfactory, and nobody has been
deprived of any essential moral or le-
gal right.
"The grange store is a great thing
for the farming community, and farm
ers should make free use Of it. 1t can
be used to cut down costs in buying
supplies and to increase profits In SELL
ing farm products. Besides this, the
management of the store by farmers
will in measure give the farmers just
the business ideas and experience need
ed to enable them to play the part in
larger cooperative operations so nee
essary to give them a more equitable
part Of the money paid by consumers
for the produce of the farms. Middle
mansm is what stands today between
the farmers and prosperity. The con-
sumers pay perhaps $12000,000,O00 Il
year for produce that gives the farmers
less than $4,000,000, a year. The
great difference between these great
sums measures the great mddleman
draft and graft on the agricultural in
terest of the United States. Wherever
and whenever the farmers can do so
they should reduce the draft and graft
They can do it by starting grange
stores, cooperative cheese, butter and
casein factories, cooperative milk con-
denseries, collecting and distributing
agencies for eggs, fruit, butter, cheese,
wool, meats and other produce, coop
erative elevators and flour mills and
other establishments now controlled
exclusively by middlemen who pay to
producers and take from consumers
just what they WILL

Names and the LnxY.

Speaking generally, the law of Eng
land allows a persos to assume and
use any name, provided its use Is not
calculated to deceive or infict pecuni-
airy loss. So the court of appeals laid
down the law in kDockrell against Dou-
gall, and this attitude Of the law, the
Law Journal remarks, is chara cteristic
of our British love Of liberty. French
law is much more strict. 1t forbids any
citizen to bear any name other than
that which is expressed in the registry
of his birth or to add any surname to
his proper name. German law is the
same, only it goes a little further in
imposing a penalty on any one giving
a false name to an official.-Dundee

ELECTION OF U. S. SENATORS
A Matter In which the Csange Is Ac-
lively Interested.

lively Interested.
| There Is a growing interest in the
matter of electing United States SEN
ators by popular vote. A somewhat
novel feature of the recent Oregon
state election was the expression by
the voters of the state of their choice
for senator. The law of the state does
not permit election of senator's by the
people, and this was simply test
vote. What is most interesting is the
fact that the candidate that would
have been elected by the people is not
| the one which would have been desig-
mated by the legislature. Senator Gear
In Is the present incumbent and was a
candidate in the recent test election,
but the majority Of the popular vote
was in favor of his adversary. The
majority in the present legislature is
of the same political faith as Sena-
tor Gearin; consequently his election
would have been assured, but in view
Of the fact that the expression of pop
ular opinion was against him he has
advised the legislature to select his adj
versary instead.
That the election of senators by the
people will soon be the, law in many
states, If not all, is quite evident. Such
action must be secured by an amend
ment to the constitution. Already rep
resentatives of nineteen states have
requested congress to call convention
for the purpose Of submitting a consti-
tutional amendment.
1t is well known by all members of
the Order of Patrons of Husbandry
that the popular election of senator's
has been one of their aims for several
years. Each year the national master
has asked the state organization t.
work to this end, and the creation Of a
public sentiment in favor of popular
election of senators is due very large
ly to the quiet work of the grange
throughout various states.

Wisconsin Primary Results.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 5.-In the
primary election Tuesday Gov. James
o. Davidson was nominated to head
the republican state ticket, having
defeated Speaker Irvine l.. Lenroot
of the last assembly, his only oppo
pent, by a majority that may run as
Eigh as 10000. Davidson carried with
him his running mate, w. D. Conner
of Marshfield for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
who defeated John S. Strange of Osh-
kosh. For the democrats, John A.
Awkward of Madison is leading Ernest
Merton of Waukesha for governor and
John O'Meara of Milwaukee appears
to be ahead Of Michael r. Blenski of
Milwaukee for lieutenant-governor
The vote was comparatively light.

A Leonard Collar.

"a leopard collar" he said, taking up
a dog collar studded with sharp spikes
three inches long. Fitting the collar on
his dog. he resumed: "This piece of
armor-for that is what it is-illus-
trates an oddly of the Himalayas-
namely, the fondness of the Hima-
layan leopard for dog flesh. In the
Himalayas last year l found that all
dogs wore these murderous looking
spiked collars. The explanation was
that the Hirnalayan leopards conducted
an unceasing dog hunt. and that in at
lacking Il dog they always fell upon his
neck. This collar with its sharp spikes
is a great protection. 1t has saved
many Il dog from hungry leopard.
Often in the Himalayas dog comes
trotting home safe and sound, though
with smears Of blood and yellow hairs
upon his collar spikes"

The Grange In Maine.

The grange in Maine has caused
laws to be enacted increasing taxes
on steam and electric railroads, trust
companies, Pullman corporations and
express, telegraph and telephone COM
panies. 1t has worked for the aboli-
ton of the telephone monopoly law.
which has caused the organization of
seventy of the local telephone compa-
MES in the state.
At present the state grange is en-
deavoring to have the taxes increased
on the 9,054,000 acres of unincorporat-
ed wild lands, which are Of immense
value and now paying only 21a mills
on dollar on the valuation of So per
acre. Thus it will be seen what the
grange in Maine is worth to the farm
ers' interests.

Guns.

The Germans were the inventors of
the first gun. About 1873 Schwartz,
n German machinist, manufactured nu-
merous crude guns which were brought
into use by the Venetians in 1892. 1t
is strange fact that cannon were
made before small firearms. At Am
berg there is still piece of ordnance
marked with the date 1903. Cannon
were first used in war at the battle of
Crecy. in 1916. 1t was not until 1914,
however, that they were made in Eng
land

THE GRANGE RECOGNIZED.
1t Was the Leader In Promoting Leg
isIatiOn For Denaturcd Alcohol.

vi hhCohOas
The grange has the credit for the sue
cessful agitation by the state oranges
and many subordinate oranges Of the
question Of the removal of the internal
revenue tax from alcohol for Industrial
purposes. National Master Bachelor
says with regard to it that while in
fiuence was eXerted through other
agencies, not for moment has it been
denied in any quarter that the grange
has been the leader in promoting this
legislation, and credit is due each of
the 100000 members in the United
States who has interested himself or
herself in this very important matter.
Especial credit Is due the masters of
the various state oranges for particu-
larly energetic work. The result in
this matter demonstrates the great
influence Of the grange when its men,
bers are united upon a worthy object
Of legislation and go vigorously and
energetically about securing It,
That the grange is entitled to credit
for leadership in securing this legisla-
ton is indicated by the following reso-
luton adopted by the National Associa-
ton Of Piano Manufacturers in session
in Washington, being one of series
of resolutions unanimously adopted
favoring the passage of the free alco-
hol bill:
Resolved. That we extend the sincere
thanks of this association to the national
grange, Patrons of Husbandry, to whose
intelligent and far reaching campaign of
education the present favorable status of
this subject in congress is very largely
due.
