THE INSTITUTE

Number of Oranges in Washington.
The Ranch is pleased to publish
the following communication from A.
A. Kelly, lecturer of the Washington
State Grange, with headquarters at
East Spokane. The suggestion con-
tanned in Mr.. Kelly's letter is COM
mended to the attention of all persons
who are interested in the Grange and
it's work:
"In your editorial of the February
18th issue, you state that Lynden
Grange is the second Grange organ
lied in the state of Washington. Kind
ly allow us to correct this error, as
we have over rs Oranges in the state,
some Is organized within the last two
months, with a total membership of
about $500. The work of organizing
is steadily going on. Organizers are
in the counties of Whatcom, Skagit,
Pierce, Stevens and Garfield. The
work of organizing is delayed because
of not being able to secure organizers.
Agriculturists are calling for subordin-
ate Oranges from every part of the
state, so that they can be affiliated
with the best organization for the Am
erican farmer-the Patrons of Husban-
dry. Agriculturists desire, when they
understand the principles of our or
ganization, association with a body of
100000 members in the United States,
whose mighty influence has secured,
not only for the members of the or
ganization but for every agriculturist,
the recognition they so justly deserve.

cent issue of The Ranch, that you had
established a new department, "The

ADVANTAGES of the Parcels Post.

G.. B. Kegley, master of the Wash
ington State Grange, has caused the
following communication to be sent
to The Ranch for publication. 1t is
an article that every farmer should
read and ponder carefully:
AS there are at present at least one
third more post offices than express
Offices in the United States, those
sending packages will have more
complete service The farmer can
send his products in small quantities
direct to the consumer at small cost
and better profit.
The store keeper will be enabled
to replenish his stock more frequently
and quickly, not having to meet ex-
pensive express charges. In conse-
quence, he will not be obliged to
keep on hand large quantities of goods
seldom called for.
Delivery of goods to purchaser will
be greatly facilitated and done with
more economy in many cases than by
delivery wagons, especially in subur-
ban and rural districts.
In fact the parcels post presents
so many advantages that in counties
where it has become an established
institution so general is the satisfac-
ton given that any one who would
advocate it's abolition would almost be
regarded as a traitor.
Ex-Postmaster-G John Wana-
maker said: "The four insuperable
obstacles to a parcels post in the
United States are, the Adams Elk
press Company, the American Ex-
"n11-Eor0n
press Company and the Southern Ex-
press Company. The United States
post office department is about thirty
years behind the other countries Of
the world in the matter of handling
packages"
Some Comparisons.
Germany-The German postoffice
for cents transmits lib packages
for 46 miles and for IL cents the
same package can be sent possible
1900 miles; 10 lbs. cost 60 cents for
the same mileage.
Great Britain-Great Britain has a
special rate to farthest India and
Burma of 3 lbs. for "a cents; lbs,
48 cents; II lbs, 70 cents. Half around
the globe this particular mail is car
ried at little more than one-third of
our local domestic rates.
Mexico-A Mexican sends II lbs. to
Algeria for 40 cents, Git would cost

to send the same parcel to friend
in your nearest town..

at which the United States postoffice

Fort Scott. Kan. Nov. sO.-This
city will not have Sunday theaters.
At the last council meeting the ques-
ton was discussed at some length
Some objections had been made to
the proposal Of Manager Lewis. Of the
fremont theater, to open a Sunday
show
Mr.. Lewis took out a license recent
" to run theater, and paid for the
same. The license says nothing, one
way or the other. about whether the
theater may be open on Sundays or
not. There is no city ordinance
against theaters running on Sunday in
this city, If they choose to do SO, but
the sentiment of the council seemed
to be against the idea of permitting
one to be opened on Sunday, and they
passed a motion to instruct the chief
of police to serve notice upon the
manager of the new theater not to
open his house on Sunday.
The council did not take any steps
60 prepare an ordinance 10 that effect
for Mr.. Lewis was present at the
council meeting and he frankly told
the members Of the council that all
he wanted WAS an expression of SEN
timent on the subject and he accepted
the wish of the council as rejecting
the average sentiment of the people
He agreed to keep the theater closed
