RITUALISTIC WORK.
Time Devoted to las Proper Rendering

Time Devoted to las Proper Rendering
Is Time Well Spent.
TO one who has studied the ritual
of our Order it almost seems sacri-
lcge to have the beautiful lessons of
life and farm work murdered as they
are at times. says a writer in the
Michigan Farmer. No expression
whatever is put into the rendering of
the lectures. Notwithstanding one of
our main teachings is, whatever Is
worth doing at all is worth doing
we'll"
Officers should not only commit their
parts to memory, but should study the
expression so they may render them in
n manner that will bring out in an i'm
pressive way the lessons they are de-
signed to teach. Let our initiates enter
the grange for the first time to find
everything in perfect order, officers
and members performing their parts
in an earnest, faithful manner, as good
laborers on our grange farm, and we
are assured of members who will take
hold of the work in the same spirit
If, on the other hand. the new mem
her enters to find the hall in confusion.
whispered conversations going on here
and there. officers mumbling over some
thing which he. they or nobody else
understands. in the same way will his
grange career he carried ON.
And another thing. the chief lesson
we all have to learn in life is that OF
discipline. Slight the work or the laws
which govern our Order ana this les
son is thrown away. Impress upon our
younger members that there is Il right
and wrong way to do things and you
are making better men and better wO-
men, for they will be at all times ready
to work together as one whole for the
good of all.

The Question Rox

Why do some oranges refuse admission
to village people, while others receive
them?
If village people have no interest an
tagonistic to the grange and desire
membership most oranges admit them.
Although in a way 1t is unconstitution-
al. 1t is practiced by many oranges,
with no evil results. The grange should
be kept a strictly farmers organiza-
ton.
Who is to pay a county deputy's ex-
penses when he visits a grange to install
Its officers?
II a deputy goes by order of the
state master to install officers he
draws pay from the state grange, but
If on invitation of subordinate oranges
the visiting grange would be courte.
GUS If 1t paid him expenses at the least,
but 1t is not obliged to.

The Question Box.

What is the specific advantage to a
grange in becoming an Incorporated or
ganization?
The advantage of grange incorpora-
ton is that 1t gives the grange a bust
ness standing, allowing it to buy, sell,
Individual. The acts of It's purchasing
agent are binding on the grange treas
ury and not on the members. If a
purchasing agent of a grange makes a
bargain, 1t may be repudiated by an in
corporated grange and he held re-
sponsible, but If given authority by an
Incorporated grange the grange is re-
sponsible as far as Its treasury goes
and no further--that Is, there IS no IN
dividual liability.

WHAT MICHIGAN ORANGES DID
To Promote Their Own and Neighbour
hood Interests.

Miss Jennie Buell. the former sec
rotary of the Michigan state grange.
In recent issue of the Michigan
Farmer remarks that there is wide
scope for every grange in the way of
fostering a spirit of neighborhood
pride and unity by every means that
tends to neighborhOod betterments. 1t
may be to help introduce new crops.
One Michigan grange distributed al
falfa seed for its members to expert
ment with and so enlisted the depart
ment of agriculture that an expert
was sent to instruct them in it's culture
and care 1t may be to aid in bring
ing conveniences and protection to its
homes and members. One grange
started a telephone system that has
now covered the county and Is extend
Ing beyond Another grange sent
committee to ask that certain rail
road place a guard at a dangerous
crossing in that vicinity. Rural mail
routes have been repeatedly solicited
through grange agitation and mall
boxes and bulletin boards placed be-
fore farm homes. Cooperation has
been tablished among schoolteach-
ers, pupils and patrons in some places.
a notable example being the Hesperia
movement of Oceana county, Mich,
made possible because the grange fur
nished the machinery through which 1t
could be worked up Cemeteries are
being cared for through sentiment
aroused and plans made in grange SEES
Sions. Public advertising on barns,
fences, stones and trees were decried
In a certain Pomona grange until more
than one said, MY boy has torn off
the signs on the fences since he heard
80 much against them in the grange"
1t is in the province of every grange
to incite its members to name their
farm homes and use stationery having
this name and the farm speciality print
ed on 1t, to keep the roadside tidy, to
make their schoolhouses and yards
homelike and to care for natural curl
bsities and beautiful trees and shrubs
in public places.

REASONS FOR SUICIDE.
O. r. Lezcis GiUes Statistics Con-
corning Bellevue Patients.

In an article in a current issue OF "Char1ues ana

F. Lewis of the Joint application bureau OF the
Charity Organization Society. says that IN hie
with an arrangement with Bellevue fosPila4 /"

CONSERVATIVES OF the bureau visited at Bellevue
between April and September 1906 forty-three such
cases. He continues:
While assistance from the bureau was always
offered no probing into the patient NE was uo o

cases was the attempt directly traced TO poverty;
employment. but this not of itself direct
cause of the attempt; meiancholia temporary abb

and alcoholism seemed TO cause the attempts in
thirteen cases: excessive jealousy in three.
The stay at the hospital was generally of short
duration eleven staying but one day. six but two

lowing motion;
The people move the court TO Issue a special

We ask further for the appointment of an elisor

Mr.. Johnson filed half dozen or more afi-

PHYSICIAN MAY LOSE SIGHT.
Pedler Assaulted DR.. William Lyman in
Street Two Weeks Ago

Dr.. William Lyman. OF No. 80 Seventh ave-
nue, told Magistrate Whitman in Jefferson Mar
5zet court yesterday that he would probably lose
the sight OF his right eye as the result OF an
assault made upon him by a flower pedler at
Sixth avenue and 14th street. The physician
said that while walking along 14th street with
his wife one OF the pedlers was offensive IN
his efforts to sell flowers TO Mrs Lyman and
he pushed him away.
THE fellow then hit with some blunt in
struTnent on the nose and right eye" DR.. Ly-
man testified. The assault occurred on the
evening OF March % and on April 3 Detective
James Z. Murphy, OF the West 30th street sta
ODD West 18th street and arraigned him on the
charge Of assault. The physician identified him,
but was inclined not 10 press the charge. He
was released on bail.
