IN spite Of the fact that one world
record was broken and another equaled
in the Western intercollegiate track and

Saturday. most OF the performances
were not only inferior to those of a
year ago. but boTdered on the mediocre.

they deserve. The weather conditions

would result IN the advantage of the
East.
In the broad jump, the fourth man at
the Eastern meet did better than the
winner in the West. while the Eastern
winner was a foot ahead Of the West

jump in which ;he fourth man at Cam

creasing rapidly, and its scope is as
broad as the farmers life, because 1T
interests itself in anything which
touches the farmer and his family.
But. first of all, the ultimate object of
the Grange is to find and maintain the
proper place in society for the farmer.
AS all society depends on him, the
Grange is determined that society shall
award to him what is justly his in re-
turn for feeding the world.
He works for the world, and the
world should pay him in all honesty
what it owes him. For ages the farm
er has been wronged; he has been
wheedled and cajoled, and being iso-
lated he has not known but that he
had to submit. But the Grange will
see to it that the farmers rights are
maintained Society must pay for its
food what it costs to produce that food,
with small profit besides. The
Grange stands for development OF
mind in the farmers brain, for
knowledge of the cost of that which
the farmer needs, of the proper modes
by which exchange of products may be
made. The Grange is not a hive,
tent, lOuS0 loI SoSolp VI poo|ihi0, Aoi
is it a financial benefit society alone.
1t means culture, development and
even polish of the latest and highest
civilization. Sometimes we expect
little fun if the patrons are young, but
if they are older and wiser there is an
interchange of ideas, a combination OF
thought, devising of plans to make
their respective farms or oranges more
productive, the farm home more COM
Portable, the stock more valuable. The
women, of course, must boast a little
of the number of eggs they gather
daily. of the fruit they have canned
and of the wonderful things said or
done by their children. In short, the
Grange means a Frightening OF the
farmers life and increasing OF his COM
forts.

A Patent office in Semitic.

Many of us have believed that TO pro-
cure a patent it was necessary to make
a model and forward it to Washington
D. (Which is far from the require
ments from the patent office at that
place. Some years ago it became neces-
sary to abandon the fling of models IN
the patent office of WASHINGTON, ID. G,
as the space required by this method
of representing inventions at that place
became impossible owing to the increas-
ing number Of patents assured by the
patent office. Today a drawing is sub
stituted and model is required only
when the invention is on such an OBJ
scure nature that it is impossible for
the examiners of the patent office to
understand The device. The drawings
which are filled with the application
for patent are of necessity the prod
uct of expert craftsmen, who make a
speciality of patent Office drawing and
who are familiar with the statistics and
requirements of the patent office at
Washington of nearly every form of
mechanical engineering. The value OF
a patent or invention is based on these
drawings, the specification and claims
as are finally allowed by the patent Of
flee at Washington. For the protection
of the public the patent office has adopt
ed a roster of attorneys, who have been
examined and are permitted by the
commissioner of patents to practice for
the patent office. To those who wish
to obtain information relative to pro-
lection by letters patent information
will be gladly given at the patent office
which is located in rooms 206-7 Mutual

His red clover, alsike and vetch each
went four tons of hay per acre and his

The Grange as the Farmers Hope.

erred w. Lewis. DISTRICT Deputy
In years gone by the farmer was con-
sidered an independent person, and
even so he was to a great degree. He
raised his own flour, for by taking
a sack of wheat to the neighboring
grist mill he could get it ground into
flour. He made his own sugar, for
by tapping his maple trees he obtained
sap which, boiled down, furnished him
with the required sugar. When he
wanted to build he went to the woods
and cut few trees, loaded them onto
his bob-sleigh or his heavy wagon and
took them to the nearby sawmill and
there they were converted into such
lumber as he desired. His clothes for
the season were derived from the wool
which he sheared from the sheep that
roamed over his wood-lot and from the
field of flax which he sowed and har-
vested His wife and daughters spun
the wool and flax, wove it into cloth
and cut and made the necessary cloth
ing for the family.
His shoes were made from the hides
of his own animals, which he killed to
procure the necessary meat, and the
nearby tannery converted the hides
into leather and a journeyman cobbler
came every fall and made the neces-
sary shoes for the family for the COM
ing year. His wife made the soap
from the refuse grease by utilizing
the I've from the ashes taken from the
fireplace.
And everything else along the same
lines The farmer could very nearly
live within himself, but now all that
has changed We have no more the
grist MILL the nearby tannery and saw
mill-and many of our wives and few
of our daughters ever even saw spin
ming wheel or hand-loOm. Our wheat,
our hides, our logs, our wool and, in
fact, nearly every raw product is
shipped to large centers, manufactured
by large consolidated concerns into the
finished product and returned to us
over the same railroad which carried
it from our hands. And this is proper.
Consolidation is the order of this pc
Rod Competition is cut out and the
concerns which were formerly fighting
each other to obtain the business OF
the world have now consolidated and
with less expense and a minimum OF
friction are together working up the
raw material and by doing big bust
ness can control the markets, and so
buy cheaper and sell at higher price
And the farmer, who forms the
greater part of the population OF
country, because he is unOrganized is
at the mercy of these large corpora
tons, since each one by himself has
no influence with the railroads, the
manufacturing interests nor the mer-
chants 1t is only through cooperation
that the farmer has any hope. BY
combining forces he can control, be-
cause he would have the greater pow
