Interesting the Youno Men,

Something of an innovation was in
troduced by Tompkins county On. "
Pomona grange at a recent meeting.
The programme was especially pre-
pared for young men. The names and
addresses Of as many young men in
terested in agriculture in Tompkins
county were procured as possible. To
700 names personal invitations, to-
gether with a copy Of the programme
and an admission ticket, were sent in
viting them to attend the meeting, and
nearly 200 responded. The general
subject discussed by all speakers was
what the Farm Offers to Young
Men" 1t was ably handled by DR.. w.
II. Jordan of Geneva experiment sta
ton, Dean L. 81. Bailey Of the State
College of Agriculture and Frank N.
Godfrey, master Of the state grange.
Such endeavors to interest young men
In agricultural matters are most COM
mendable, and we would like to see a
similar programme carried out at 9th
er Pomona oranges.

STREETS IN A BIG STORE,
The Piles of Merchandise Are Mum.
bered Like Houses.

The Piles of Merchandise Are Mum.
bered Like Houses
In a large wholesale grocery house in
Kansas City the lanes that intersect
the great piles of merchandise have
been named as streets, and the stacks
of boxes, bags and packages have each
been marked with a number, as the
houses upon city streets are numbered.
The other day a member Of the firm
gave the following order to a trucker:
go over to Easy street, get that
bunch of swells and take them to
parlor S."
A stranger in the big store would not
have known what that order meant.
The trucker knew.
All canned goods that swell from the
formation of gases inside are called
"swells' in the grocery trade. In this
house all "swells" are kept in a room
upstairs called "parlor S." Easy
street. is a lane that leads down to
"Fairyland," the big room where many
girls work putting up packages.
"Clabber alley is the lane which
passes through the great stacks of
condensed milk. "Corncake lane goes
through the cornmeal packages and
barrels.
The system of naming the streets
and dividing the different brands Of
goods into numbers facilitates the bust
ness Of order filling to the extent that
almost twice the work can be done
now by the same number Of order fill
ers that could be done a few years
ago.-Kansas City Star.

On A Holiday

Three hundred and twenty thousand
freight cars and 5000 locomotives are
now idle in the United States. This
is about fourteen per cent of all the
freight ears on all the railroads of the
country.-Christian Advocate.
When the wheels of commerce were
stopped in 1893 by the contraction of
the currency thru a conspiracy of the
money kings of the world to kill free
silver, the daily newspapers, the hired
~assassins of democracy, continually pro.
claimed democratic hard times"
MI. Aldrich, in the U. S. Senate,
has declared the country is passing
thru the "most acute and disastions
panic which has ever occurred in the
history of the United States" A few
years ago it was declared such could
happen under a gold standard
and a protective tariff, but the party
in power is not now condemned by the
daily press as the party in power was
in 1888.
The wheels of commerce are merely
taking a rest to gain their equipoise
while Mr.. Morgan is cleaning out the
banking business of men he does not
want and teaching labor it cannot con-
troll industry" besides showing the
necessity of having a bill put thru Con-
gress compelling the Government to
issue notes to Wall Street bankers on
the millions of undigested bonds which
the printing presses have been turning
out in the past few>yers.

Education

This topic is not new in the Oranges
of the country, for it has been dis
cussed iu various States, and the pres
emit public sentiment in favor of the
proposition is quite largely due to
Grange discussion aod influence. 1t
has long been conceded by educational
experience that mental development a
be obtained as we'll through the study
of such matters as afford information
to the student as through the study
of such matters as only afford mental
discipline. Mental development will
result from the study of plants and
trees that one comes in contact with
every day and the processes of nature
by which the elements of the soil are
combined to produce those plants trees,
as we'll as from committing to memory
the height of the principal peaks OF the
Rocky Mountains or the names of the
rivers of Hindoostan. 1t is admitted
that a boy or girl will be educated
while studying the nature and COM
position of the rocks which are passed
every day, Oh the names and habits of
birds that constantly fly over their
heads as we'll as by the dead languages
or the almost meaningless problems of
higher mathematics. Life will seem
broader and deeper and happier, what
ever the occupation o. profession
followed, by reason of knowing some
thing about the plants, trees, rocks,
birds and soils with which n is con-
stantly coming in contact than it would
seem if ignorant of these matters,
although able to do some of the things
once considered necessary for training
the mind. This is an important
function of nature studies and of the
more intensive course known as prin-
cipIes of agriculture.
The greatest need at the present
time seem to be securing the endorse
ment and support of those in charge OF
the educational affairs in the various
States, including superintendent OF
schools and prominent instructors who
have much influence. in shaping legis-
lation, if not directly responsible in
securing it. We do not intend to
convey the idea that the introduction
of the principles of agriculture in the
curriculum of public schools depends
much upon legislation, for it does not,
although in many instances additional
legislation would make it more effec.
tive. 1t depends mainly upon the
interest manifested in the matter by
those who direct the educational affairs,
for in many instances they have, AL the
authority necessary i'll this direction.
If this feature of education could be
incorporated in the normal school
training given teachers, the movement
would he promoted in a very effective
manner and the instruction begun at a
very vital polnt.-National Grange. ,Ez

"DON'T BELIEVE I'LL JOIN"
Grange Financial Benefits of Second
airy Consideration.


II don't believe I'll join the grange"
| said a gentleman to the writer awhile
ago. 81 don't see as 1 can get much
out Of it." That identical statement
! has been made hundreds and hundreds
of times, and SO long as human nature
remains as selfish as it Is in some men
like sentiments will be expressed.
When will people ever learn that the
grange isn't organized for a member
to 'see how much he can get out of it,"
but, rather, to see how much it can
get out of him, how much it can edu-
cate him, taking the word educate" in
its primary significance of 'to draw
out" how much it can make him help
full in any of a hundred ways to his
fellow man? We sometimes doubt the
ACCESSIBILITY of offering any further
financial benefits to members of the
Order-such as grange life insurance,
for instance. Fire insurance members
who are members for insurance only
are, as a rule, of very little use in the
grange. Many of them never attend
the meetings. What would it be If we
had grange life insurance? Doubtless
it would increase grange membership
very greatly, providing the system was
a safe and profitable one, but would
the increase be of any real help to the
Order? Might not an undesirable mem
bership creep In through the door Of
this special inducement and add moth
ing to the real working force Of the
grange? Let there be reasonable fnan-
cial benefits attached to grange mem
bership, but let these never be given
. first place in our thought, much less in
/ u arguments with a nonmember to
secure his application. And the deputy
organizer who makes financial induce
ments prominent when attempting to
organize a grange should have his ap-
| pointment annulled.

A Parable

A farmer once moved to a distant re-
gion and was much elated with the proli-
fc prospects. He exclaimed, "These are
fertile fields. l have rich surroundings.
Golden opportunities await me and if l
do not have a hundred fold harvest the
first year ] will shake the sands of this
region from my feet. The old red barn
will not be large enough to hold my har-
vest, because l am no ordinary man. l
am a hustler and this is the Goth GEN.
fury. All l see needed is to burn off the
old stubble and a luxuriant fresh, green
harvest will spring up which the old barn
will never hold. We must build a larger
barn."
toSo the new h~usbandman started a fire
burn off the old stubble. A fire like
that OF a Satire of old swept the field and
left only a hickory sapling standing. 1t
was a holycaust.
The seeds were sown in the spring.
The barn was enlarged. The summer
passed. Harvest is ended. In burning
the old stubble many roots from which
niuCu iTultdge came were destroyed.
But few of the new seed sown took root
and the old barn more than heldt the usual
harvests.

SOME IMPORTANT MATTERS.
The Michigan State Grange on the
Temperance Question and Rural

The Michigan State Grange on the
Temperance Question and Rural
Education.
At a recent meeting of the Michigan
state grange resolutions were adopted
declaring for a prohibitory clause in
the new state constitution and recon-
mended a committee Of three members
of the Order to present the matter to
the constitutional convention. Then
should the attempt to secure a prohib-
itory clause fail the grange favored
prohibition in all towns of 500 inhabit-
ants and under and forbiddance of
liquor selling near an institution of
learning, and more stringent laws on
b sale of liquor in drug stores were
demanded. This temperance question
Is n which the grange should handle
carefully, but should not be afraid of.
The grange is strictly a temperance or
ganization, although no pledge of tenn
perance is required, and yet temper
ance may be so involved with political
questions as to greatly affect the in
1uence of the grange in some locali-
ties; hence we say wisdom is neces-
sary in handling the subject. Two 9TH
er resolutions adopted were as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That we favor a plan by
which the boys shall be interested In the
experimental growing of grains and vege-
tables and the girls in some branch Of
domestic science, the work to be under
the general supervision Of the county
commissioner of schools and the results
to be exhibited in competition for prizes
at the regular two day farmers insti-
tutes, where a section shall be set aside
for the boys with their fathers and the
girls with their mothers. In asking it's
adoption the committee further recon-
mended that each school make individual
seasons.
Resolved, That the legislative committee
Of the state grange be instructed to ask
the legislature to enact a law providing
that any person who shall sell or give
away any intoxicating liquor on the
grounds or premises Of any agricultural
society shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor and, on conviction thereof in
any court Of competent jurisdiction, shall
be fined not more than $500 nor less han
500 or by imprisonment for not more
than one year or less than three months
or by both fine and Imprisonment in the
discretion Of the court. Provided, also,
that any agricultural society which sane
tons such sale shall thereby forfeit all
claims to any appropriation from the
state treasury.

Mr.. Rryans,s Opinions

The plan OF guaranteed bank deposit
has probably found favor, among all classes
sot people and irrespective of political atfill-
ffation, more rapidly than any other public
I1yquestion.
- The new state of Oklahoma has already
enacted a law taxing state banks, the fnnd
thus accumulated to be used in paying the
depositors of any state bank that from any
cause becomes unable to meet its obliga-
lions. A special session of the Kansas
legislature has been called fol the purpose
of enacting legislation similar to the
Oklahoma plan. The governor of Nebras-
ka is considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF calling
| a special session of the Legislature on &C
count of the growing belief among the PEG
pie that protection to bank depositOrs in
the form of federal guarantees of their de-
posits will stop the boarding Of money,
bring into circulation sufficient currency to
conduct the business of the country, and
prevent a recurrence of such disastrous
panics as the one through which we are
now passing.
Mr.. BRYAN has been an advocate of a law
guaranteeing deposits in state and national
bank since 1898. The Legislature of Ohio
has adopted a joint resolution inviting Mr..
BRYAN to address its members in joint ses-
sion February Is, 1908, on the subject OF
Guaranteed Bank Deposits.
Mr.. Bryan, i'll discussing the tariff
Question. insists that residents OF the
United States should be permitted TO buy
homemade goods at home at as low a price
as the foreigner can buy American-made
goods abroad. He also insists that our
government should be by and for the people
as a whole, rather than by and for the
trusts, and administered in the interest of
a few beneiciaries of the trust system. He
belle YES that national legislation for the
purpose of better regulation and control of
interstate and common carries
should supplement state legislation, and
not be a substitute for state legislation.
Mr.. Bryan's paDer, The Commoner, res
fleets his opinions each week on questions
of public importance and i'll its column,
may also be found his magazine articles,
public speeches, addresses and lectures
which are referred to in the daily press
rom day to day.
Ifyou are interested in political questions,
if you desire to keep in touch with the pro-
gres of the campaign and to read Mr..
Bryan's campaign speeches send sixty cents
to The Commoner, OF the Penn's Grove

dental campaign.
