GRANGE ORGANIZERS.
Require Peculiar Ability to Teach
Grange Principles.

Require Peculiar Ability to Teach
Grange Principles.
National Lecturer Gaunt points out
some of the requisites of a successful
grange organizer in a recent issue OF
the National Grange Bulletin, and
what he says is quite as applicable to
county deputies, who are usually the
local organizers.
The most difficult thing in building
up the grange in any state is to find
such men who will devote time to the
work.
They must be thoroughly imbued
with the principles and teachings of
the grange and must possess the facul-
ty of imparting the evidence of that
spirit to others. They. must be ener-
getic and thoroughly impregnated with
the desire to build up the organization
rather than simply work for the money
they will, get for their services. OF
course they must be well paid, for few
such persons can devote time to the
work without pay for it in some form
or other.
1t may be Gin money as an organic
ing deputy, it may be in honor as the
master of a thriving and influential
state grange or it may be, If one has
the means, in the satisfaction of doing
something to help the farmers and pro-
mote the agricultural industry. In
the case of organizing deputies it must
be mainly in money, as they would be
paid in any other business for similar
services, although even with them the
satisfaction of promoting the work of
the grange will count for something.
When the oranges in New Hamp-
shire were being organized one deputy
organized nearly hundred oranges
and received $15 a grange or practi-
cally $1,000 for organizing practically
a hundred oranges. Those same
oranges pay into the state grange
treasury over $1,000 every year in fees
and dues to help carry along the work
of the organizations In the state. This
was the best possible investment that
could have been made of the amount
of money expended in organizing those
oranges, viewing it from the stand
point of investment alone.

The geological committee of Tioga
county (Pa.) Pomona grange was APP
pointed as an experiment at the June
session of last year, but it's worth has
already attracted the attention of so
many people and the results shown are
so encouraging that it will undoubtedly
become permanent feature. Last
summer was devoted more especially
to collecting specimens of insects, birds
and small animals and forwarding
them to Professor Ii. A. Surface, state
zoologist, at Harrisburg. In the late
fall and early winter printed matter
relating to plant life was distributed
and search made for signs of the San
Jose scale.
The next work of the committee was
arranging for the distribution of sew
eral hundred packets Of seed, which
were sent out among the members
March 8, each packet accompanied by
circular reading as follows:

Typewriter
The Standard Visible Writer.

You can write any OF these things yourself IL
you do not happen to have a stenographer
For you can easily learn, with little practice,
expert operator on the OLIVER. Because the
OLIVER is the simplhed typewriter And you
can see every word you write. About 0per
cent more durable than any other typewriter,
because IT has about so per cent less wearing
points than most other typewriters.
80 per cent easier to write with than these
other complicated, intricate machines that re-
quire hun ring''-technical knowledge-long
practice and special skill to operate.
Than machines which cannot be adjusted to
any special space-with which Ii is i'm possible
to write abstracts, insurance policies, or odd
sized documents except you buy expensive
special attachments requiring experts to OPP
crate.
You can adjust the OLIVER to any reason
able space-you can write on any reasonable
size and thickness of paper, right out to the
very edge, without the aid of any expensive at
tachment or special skill, and your work will be
neat appearing legible and clear.
For the OLIVER is the typewriter for the
doctor, the lawyer, the insurance agent, the
merchant. the hotel proprietor-or any man
who does his own writing.

A HIGH COMPLIMENT.
The Grange and the Public School
Should Cooperate.

Should Cooperate.
A school commissioner who has had
large experience and is recognized as
one Of the best in the state paid the
grange this high compliment recently
in a public address: II always like to
hear that the school district has elect
ed member of the grange to the posi-
ton of trustee, for 1 am then reason
ably sure the trustee will take some
interest in maintaining a good school
and keeping the school property and
equipment in the best possible condi-
ton. The grange advocates education,
and it's members promote it,"
Let us strive to live up to that opinion
of a man outside the gates. The closer
and more intimately the grange can be
identified with the school system of
our state the better it will be for the
grange and the schools. The schools
are not merely the educational centers
of our rural communities. They are
the factories of American citizenship.
When we consider the percentage Of IL
lteracy in the rural districts of New
York to be greater than it is in the
cities we must realize the Importance
of improving the rural schools and en-
forcing the compulsory education law.
1t Is not to the credit of New York that
eighteen other states have lower per-
centage of illiteracy than we have and
the responsibility Of changing this, so
that New York shall have the lowest
percentage of illiterate citizens in It's
country districts, rests upon the
grange. Let us rise to the emergency
and prove that the grange is in reality
an educational force in country life

IncOnXenientlY Tall.

The mayor of one of the communes
of Augers had ordered a gamekeeper
and butcher to take mailman named
Legrand to the st. Gemines lunatlc
asylum. On the way the gamekeeper
noticed that their charge was in one of
his lucid intervals and concluded that
he would never consent to be handed
over to the authorities. 1t was decided,
therefore, to make him drunk, and all
three adjourned to the nearest inn. Le-
grand took his liquor kindly. So did the
others. And when the trio arrived at
the asylum the governor could not
make head or tail of their story. He
therefore wired to the mayor, asking
him which was the man who was to
be detained. The mayor replied Lee
grand, but the telegraphist spelled it in
two words, LIE grand" (the tall one).
The governor, on examining the three
men, saw that one was much taller
than the others, so he promptly clapped
him into a strait waistcoast and sent
the other two away. 1t was three days
later before the error was discovered.

Bismarck FOrgave.

Bismarck could forgive, but he
wished to do it after proper solicita-
ton. At the beginning of the Danish
war Field Marshal Wrangel, who was
at the head of the Prussian troops, was
exceedingly annoyed at one point to
be telegraphed not to advance farther.
and he returned n message telling
King William that these diplomatists
who spoil the most successful opera
lions deserve the gallows." After that
Bismarck ignored him completely, and
one day they met at the kings table.
where it was especially awkward to
preserve a GOODNESS. Wrangel called
everybody "du." and presently he
turned to Bismarck, who was seated
next him, and said, my son, canst
thou not forget?" NO" was the curt
reply. After pause Wrangel began
again, "My son. canst thou not for
give?" with all my heart" said Bis
marck, and the breach was healed.
