WONEN WHO LIKE TO STAND
Street Car Conductor Says They Do

BY the time the car reached For

a dozen vacant seats, but the girl in

avail herself of their hospitality, re-

So did the woman In blue and the man

backward and forward in the middle
of the car.
The conductor watched her grimly.
II could have told those folks it was
no use to try to make that girl sit
down." he said to a passenger on the
platform. "She never does. l used to
try to get her to rest herself for a
minute or two, just for a change, but
l never could do it. She has been rid
ing In my car pretty regularly for
about year, and no matter whether
the passengers are many or few sell
dom have I seen her sit down. I used
to wonder why she chose to stand up
and flop around that way, but I have
come to the conclusion that she does
1t because her clothes fit 50 well.

Their Organization Dates Back Sew
enty-fve Years or More.
Agricultural education is by no
means a new movement. Professor
L. H. Bailey of Cornell university
points out that more than a hundred
years ago an effort was made in Penn
sylvania to establish an agricultural
school, but it failed. In 1924 school
was opened in Derby, Conn, for agri-
culture and related work, but it did
not long persist as an agricultural
school, AS early as 1926 in New York
an effort was made to establish a
school in which the sciences connected
with agriculture and the mechanic arts
could be pursued, and in 1896 the legis-
lature granted a charter for an agricul-
tural college. 1t was proposed to pur-
chase a farm near Albany, but the
project failed owing to lack of money.
Again In 1S49 the governor appointed
board of eight commissioners to meet
at Albany and mature plans for an ag-
ricultural college, and the outcome was
that a charter was granted April 10.
1883, for the New York State Agricul-
tural college. In 1855 the citizens of
Ovid, Seneca county, petitioned the leg
islature to locate the college in their
vicinity Instead of at Oakland Farms,
where the commission had previously
decided to locate 1t. After much dis
cussion a farm OF $40 acres was pur-
chased at $65 per acre. The trustees
of the college took possession April /,
1857. The cornerstone Of the building
was laid July 7, 1859. The college
opened Dec. s. 1860, but the breaking
out of the civil war brought it to
close. The old building now stands
and is part of the Willard asylum for
the insane. Thus 1t will be seen that
the state has given attention to agri-
cultural instruction for the past seven
ty-ive years or more.

pIishing In the Pine Tree state.
There is something very interesting
to the general reader and to all who
have a care for the prosperity of the
state in any of its leading industries,
in the growth and prosperity of that
farmers organization known as the or
der of Patrons of Husbandry, says the
Bangor OIeD Commercial.
This order of farmers Is their board
of trade. 1t is the one organization which
unites them in business, social, educa-
tional and friendly relations as other
orders unite men of other professions,
with this added Importance: 1t is al
most the only strong fraternal order
which admits women to all the priv
ileges that are open to male members,
including the right to hold office, and 1t
Is an interesting fact that many of the
local oranges or lodges of Patrons Of
Husbandry are differed by women and
that they are efficient, capable and able
in the capacity of masters of oranges
and as other subordinate officers.
There are in Maine today nearly 400
local oranges, with membership Of
$4,000. In the sixteen counties Of the
state are twenty-slx county oranges,
while there are eight juvenile oranges,
with a membership Of nearly 20O-a
branch of the order which gives splen-
did training to Its young officers for
future usefulness.
The halls owned by the oranges in
this State represent value Of more
than 100000. eight new halls having
been built last year at an average cost
of S4,375. The hall of Pleasant Valley
grange, Rockland, cost $4,000, and
that of Caribou grange cost $4,000.
Aroostook county has the largest
grange in individual membership of
any grange in the world. that at Houl-
ton which has over 900 members. Dur
ing the past year 4,46S new members
have been added to the order in Maine.

Thousands of grateful people are tell

kidney and bladder troubles.
Yet other thousands are suffering every

cal. Neglect of kidney disorders leads to
dropsy, diabetes, Bright's disease and
other fatal diseases.
