Work Being Done by State Grange

Work Being Done by State Grange.
Erred W. Lewis, Dep. Master, Tum-
water.)
The Washington State Grange held
it's eighteenth annual convention at
Spokane on June 5, 6 and and had a
very interesting session. Nearly every
Grange was represented and good
many were present who were not
members. The bylaws for subordi-
nate oranges were revised so as to
conform to present conditions. Me-
mortal resolutions were passed on sew
eral deceased members.
Resolutions were passed asking our
next legislature to revise our road law,
to pass law forbidding the keeping
of saloon, billiard or pool hall within
five miles of our State College, and to
appropriate five thousand dollars for
farmers Institutes.
They also sent a telegram to Presi-
dent Roosevelt assuring him that the
patrons of husbandry of this state up
hold him in his endeavor to make our
meat packing concerns observe SAM
tary regulations, and rejected any at
tempt of the trust attorneys to speak
for the farmers of the state.
The oranges of the state nearly all
reported a prosperous condition and
the State Grange officers reports show
a great gain over last year. We have
twenty-fOur new oranges in several
counties while good many counties
have none as yet. Great praise was
given to our state officers, especially
the master, secretary and lecturer
who have the greatest amount of work
to do.
Master c.. B. Kegley, of Pullman,
has done vast amount of work for
the grange, both in extension and pub
licity, and he also is member of the
legislative committee of the National
Grange and was very active in the
pushing of the free alcohol bill.
Our worthy secretary is Miss Edna
Campbell, of Lyle, Wash. She is
girl of seventeen years, but her work
is as complete as it could be were
she man of experience. Great praise
is due her for her earnest and effic-
lent work during the past year.
Our worthy lecturer, A. A. Kelley,
of East Spokane, has published a
paper the past year for the benefit OF
the patrons of the state. His work
shows perfect efficiency and the next
year will doubtless be fuller of work
than the past has been.
Mrs. B. B. Lord was present at our
meeting and helped us with her ad-
vice and presence. Many of the old
grange workers were present and nu-
merous new ones were to be seen.
There was a contest held in which
four teams displayed their work in
comforting the several degrees. The
Evansville grange of Pullman, took
first prize, a costly banner.
Our aim is to increase our number
to at least fifty new oranges and the
more there are of us the better work
we can do for ourselves and others.
Talk the matter over and write for
someone to come and organize
grange in your neighborhood.

Wonderful Reasons.

Mr.. Editor l do wish and hope that
every republican in Marion County will
read the words Of Hon. Walter P.
Brownlow in Green county, Tenn, in
his opening speech for reelection to
Congress do hope that every repub-
lican will read this able address over
once and l do hope every democrat
will carefully read it over twice.
Reading it one time gives me great
encouragement over the question of
good roads. do hope the farmers of
the Sth district will read and reflect
over what Mr.. Brownlow has to say
about good roads, but according to the
vote that / received over in the old
Sth district, l am sorry to say that, if
his election to Congress depended upon
the vote Of the sth district that he
would be badly defeated from the fact
that he is not branded Il am demo-
crat. During the county campaign
for county officers, thought | would

good people over there know that was

MYSTERY OF A DIVERS END
Helmet Came Off in an Unac-

(Cape Town Letter in London Chron-

(Cape Town Letter in London Chron-
icle
An accident which is described as
without precedent in the history of
diving operations has been the subject
Of magisterial inquiry at Simontown.
Two divers, Kraming and Macphail
were at work at same levels on the new
dock yard works at Simontown. They
were working at depth Of about fifty
feet, and, although they did not go
down together they met under water
and were, it appeared from the evil
dence, discussing by means of signs
the position in regard to the levels on
which they were working.
According to the statement of the
survivor, Macphail, he saw his com
panion's helmet suddenly fly off In
this desperate position the drowning
man chung to Macphail, who gave the
signal to the boat overhead to haul in
and the two men were drawn up to
within ten feet of the surface, At
this point the hauling ceased, the men
in the boat being unable to raise the
heavy weight any farther, and Mac
phail was compelled to loosed his hold
on his drowning comrade, who sank to
the bottom. The other man reached
the boat and Immediately went down
again, but Kraming was lying face
downward on the bottom and was
dead when they got him to the surface.
No explanation was forthcoming of
how it was possible for the mans he'll
met to come unfastened 1t was said
to have been adjusted properly, when
ne entered the water and the two di-
vers were said to have been ON perfect
" good terms, no question as to the
possibility of foul play being raised.
The verdict was simply that the man
was drowned, but the magistrate con-
fessed that the manner in which the he'll
met became unfastioned remained a
mystery.

What's the Use?

Once wise man built large house
says the Denver News. He said:
Il will place in this house many
bureaus There shall be bureaus on
all sides, in all the rooms. They shall
be large, reaching from the floors to
the ceilings, %and in these bureaus
there shall be hundreds of drawers
Then | will say to my wife:
This one little bureau drawer, down
here in the left hand corner of the cell
lar, under the stairway, is mine. All
the rest of the bureau drawers, my
dear, are yours. -
And the house of the wise man was
finished and in it were one mile of
of bureaus, and in the bureaus there
were IA, 600 drawers.
And it was late Saturday night when
the last load of furniture was moved
into the house and put in place
Sunday morning this wise man arose
with light heart. He tiptoed to the
little drawer down under the stairway
in the cellar to get himself a clean
shirt and a change of underwear He
paused and exclaimed;
SAT last have a private drawer"
He stopped and pulled the drawer
and looked in 1t was stuffed to the

become acquainted with them, but /
did not receive much encouragement
while over there. for after | introduc-
cd myself to one Of the leading farmers
and explained to him my mission, the
first question he asked me was if vo-
ted to bond the county TO build pixies
/ told him that I did vote for it. l
asked him if he was opposed TO good
roads. He said not but he was against
bonds. then asked how he expected
to build roads. His answer was to do
the work ourselves. then asked him
if, upon that theory, his own expert
ence had not taught him that his own
theory had never built a good road.
His reply was that he had not received
any from the bond bill So after a
careful study l learned the people of
the Sth district had it against me not
for voting for bonds but as l am
known as a republican. The people
over in the old Sth have some fine
lands and from what | saw in that sec
ton, / do believe it would pay the
farmers over there to sell one third of
their lands and apply it to the con-
struction of good roads. | believe the
other two-thirds would sell for more
than all Of it would bring in their
present condition, but do not advise
them to do this for if they are satisfied
with the roads they have l am sure
am.
This same man,S who owns good
farm, told me that he understood that
the corporations Of the county had en-
joined the trustee Of the county from
the COLLECTION Of that part Of their tax
known as the road bond tax, and if
that was true that the farmers would
have it all to pay and let the corpora
tions go free. I told him that he must
have a very POOR opinion of the bones
ty Of the high judiciary Of the state
and, all, or the most of them were
democrats, that I, as a republican, had
a higher regard for their honesty, and
that such would be class legislation.
Then met another who was not Sc
well off in this world goods. This
man told me that he had been inform
ed that I voted to bond the county to
build pike roads. | told him he had
been informed correctly Then ]
asked him how much tax he paid He
told me that he did not pay any, not
even poll tax, but he would not vote
for any man that had voted for bonds.
| did not think IL prudent to argue
the question with him. l could give
the names of these men who are so OPP
posed to bonds, but ] do not think il
prudent to do so for while yet

How Greedy Dog Got More Than Her
Share Of Food.
Old Fan was an English beagle,
Alack and tan, with long silky ears,
great black, expressive eyes and
rather pointed face. She was very
motherly in her ways.
Her great hunting qualities were
exceeded only by her gluttony.
Besides herself in this family of
dogs were her son, Rex; Ned, or
"TUncle Teddy" a setter; Lady, a
spotted beagle, and Gene, the grey
hound. They had all their own pans
and were given their meals at the
same time.
Fan would hurry and eat her por-
tion, run around the house and bark
fercely. Of course the others would
all leave their food to see what the
disturbance was. Old Fan would
then positively fly back to the pans,
gobble up all the food, and when the
other dogs returned to finish their
meal everything would be eaten. so
the poor dogs got none" Time and
again she would do this, until some
one would have to remain with them
until they were all through eating

Get the idea into your head that
bones are beautiful and you won't
mind thin arms and "swanlike" neck,
even though it be over swanlike. Fat
never yet made any woman beautiful.
1t is the way your bones grow and
the way you carry your bones that
give you a good figure. Because your
arms are thin is no reason why you
should hide them God never yet
made any woman without bones. so
they must be all right You can get
the thin arms tieshened up Il little by
amounting with lanolin or cocoa butter
The same treatment will do for thin
neck. Vocal culture and cold baths
will help.
