c., and live meeting was held. Thir-
ty states were represented at the
meeting, and vital questions were dis
cussed. A report will soon be issued,
telling of what was done, and If you
want a copy, write me, asking for it.
The National Grange was organized
in Washington, D. c., forty-one years
ago, the fourth of December. And
it has been a factor in the farmers
life ever since, although 1t has not
been within the reach of large num-
Der of them a good part of the time.
Now we are prepared to place q
Grange wherever it is called for by
thirteen energetic men and women.
Thurston County Patrons are MAX
ing use of the Grange to assist them
in saving money in the purchase Of
feed and hay. 1t has saved them many
a dollar already. They order in car
load lots, direct from the producer,
and save the middle mems profit.
The Grange may be made to assist
us in many ways, and it is only a
question of making it do so, as no or
ganization can do more than it's men,
bers make it do. The Grange is the
broadcast organization that is in ex-
istence, and covers the entire life and
welfare of the farmer, and can be
made to assist him in any way that
he so desires. 1t is purely cooperative
in it's workings, and may be made of
great use to the farmer and his fam
lily.

from their surplus crops, vegetable
refuse, etc. The principal plant Is To-
Gated in Washington to begin opera
tions Oct. 1, while the other has been
located at Omaha to begin work Nov.
1. The general plan for the work Of
the Washington plant will be to have
an officer detailed by each Agricultural
Experiment Station to come to that
city and take the course of lectures
which will be given there by corps
of chemists, practical distillers, and
other experts. These lectures will be
given at the rate of two or three per
day and the course will occupy about
six weeks. 1t is hoped in this way
to induce the Experiment Stations,
which are supported by the state, to
install alcohol-producing plants with
which to educate the farmers in the
manufacture of denatured spirits.
The government report of the
amount of denatured alcohol with
drawn from the distillery warehouses
for consumption is the best index of
the growth of the use of denatured al
cohol.
This shows a total increase for the
month of August over that of July,
of 63,179.5S wine gallons, and an in
crease of 41,35526 wine gallons of
completely denatured alcohol.

The State of Washington has reason
to be proud of the fact that it has
more Grange halls lighted with alco-
hol than any other state.
Evansville Grange, the Grange
home of State Master G. B. Kegley,
was the first hall to adopt the new
method of lighting.
Several more Oranges are talking
of installing alcohol lamps in their
halls, and several have already or
dered them.
Spring Creek Union Grange, in
Klickitat County, has an order in for
three hanging lamps.
Valentine Grange, in Thurston Coun-
ty, has just installed an alcohol hang
ing lamp.
Alcohol may be purchased at the
leading drug stores in almost any OF
the towns in this state, and If there
is demand enough for the alcohol 1t
can be purchased at a reasonable
price in five-gallon lots. I have made
a contract with two of our druggists
that furnish us alcohol at 81 cents per
gallon in five-gallon lots. Taking the
candle power into consideration, this
is cheaper than kerosene oil, as the
light is so very much stronger than
what we get by the latter.
Washington State Grange has lately
ordered a lot of lamps, so that they
can be distributed through this part
of the country at the same price as
is asked by the eastern dealers. The
State Grange Secretary has the han;
ding of them This is done in order
that those wanting the lamps may be
able to get them without paying the
excessive express charges that are
asked from New York.
The Grange is growing very fast in
this state, and we are proud of the
fact that we have led all the states
in the number of new Oranges dur
ing the past year.
The National Grange has just been
holding a session in Washington, D.

Encampment Preparations.

All arrangements for the Arkansas National Guard officers encampment at Fort Logan H. Roots and for the two-company encampment at Camp Pindall, will be completed this week by Adjutant General Paul Little and Maj. E. B. Jett. both of the Arkansas National Guard.
 Mai Jett stated that 30 line officers of the guard were expected to arrive in Little Rock, May 20 and 21, to at tend the officers encampment and school at Fort Logan H. Roots. The school opens May 21 and closes May 31. It was first intended that each line officer should have a tent. to him. self at the fort during the encamp- ment. but upon finding each tent was was to be furnished with a floor it was decided that, in order to cut down expense, two men should be quartered in a tent. Fifteen tents will be pitch ed in the rear of the quarters of Maj. Thompson the commanding officer.
 Officers will be required to be at the fort every day during the entire encampment, as daily exercises are provided
 Maj. Jett will take out the tents and other equipment to Camp Pindall, near Little Rock. this week for the encampment of the two companies, which will engage in target practice there, commencing May IS. Provis- ions will also be purchased this week for the two companies

Ready to Pay Fine.

"I know where $3,000.000 in cash lies concealed" said New York law yer. This vast sum lies concealed in the inside vest pocket of the 30,000 automobilists of New York state Each man carries s100 of 1t in one crisp note. ready to be paid out in a fine, if he should be arrested for speeding. Fines, though, don't appear to stop speeding" he continued. Perhaps the rich automobilist regards them much as the Suabian wood thief did. The thief was arrested. The magis- trate said to him: You are brought up on the charge of stealing wood. This charge has been proved against you. But you are old and poor and you shall be let off this time. Only don't do it again 'Nonsense,' retorts ed the thief. Let us not have any false sentimentality here. I steal my wood, I pay my fine. and there's ap end of it."

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint is before the painter applies it. The man who puts up the money should not shirk the responsibility of choos- ing the paint. True. the painter ought to know paint better than the banker. the professional man or the merchant, The trouble is, the house owner too often deliberately bars the competent and honest painter from the job by accepting a bid which he ought to know would make an honest job impossible
 Secure your bids on the basis of National Lead Company's pure White Lead and pure Lfnseed oil and see that you get these materials.
 No one need be fooled by adulter. ated white lead. A blowpipe testing outfit will be mailed to anyone inter- ested in paint.

Fly Paper to Protect Trees.

At number of places in Little Rock where property owners have fine shade trees, fly paper wrapped around the trunk of the tree, just below the branches, with the sticky side out, is being used to protect the trees from the ravages of worms. This is the season when the caterpillar matched in the ground at the foot of trees, climbs to the limbs and out to the leaves and there eats every vestige of the green foliage away. These worms cover trees by the thousands in some instances but it is claimed that the sticky fly paper forms a bar rier past which they cannot crawl.

State Capital Notes
Five Governors In le Monhts.

The chance remark by Secretary Paul Little to the effect that he had served as private secretary to four gov ernors in a little less than year and d half resulted in little figuring on just how many chief executives Ar kansas has had since the election of 1906.
 The list, covering a period of less than sixteen months, totals five, as follows: Jeff Davis, John s. Little, John Ike Moore, Xenophen o. Pindall and Allen H. Hamiter
 On the 18th of January a year ago, Coy. Jeff Davis retired to make way this Gov. Little was stricken in health and the office reverted to the presi- dent of the senate, Hon. John l. Moore, who became the third governor in the list. At the close of the session of the general assembly Gov Moore was sue ceeded by Hon. X. O. Pindall, who was elected from the holdoyer senators as president of the senate and became the fourth in the list of executives. Eley en months later, through the absence of Gov Pindall from the state. Hon. Allen Hamiter, speaker of the house, is qualified as governor, completing the quintet of governors who have ruled the destinies of the State since January 16, 1907.
 This would make, on an average, little over three months to the eXeeu- tive, though, of course, most of the time has been served by Cows. Moore and Pindall.
 Incidentally. it is interesting to note that within the next eight months there will be two other governors, making total of seven governors for a little oyer two years. This results from the fact that at the next meet ing of the general assembly, if GUS tom is followed out, the senate will organize in advance of the house, elect. ing their president of the senate and other officers. The president of the senate will, by virtue of his office, be- come acting governor, since this duty must be filled by the president of the senate until the installation of the next regularly elected governor. As the governor is not formally installed until after the organization of both houses of the legislature it is evident that the next president of the senate will be acting governor during the time between the election of officers in the senate and the formal inauguration of the new governor, after organiza.

Rosamond Gets Lease on Life.

The initial act of the new acting governor. Allen H. Hamiter, was thor oughly humanitarian. He granted an extension of a weeks time to Isaac Rosamond, the Lafayette county lie gro condemned to die for killing his companion, Charley Lewis. a year ago
 The reason for the change in the date for the execution was based on the fact that the original date, June 19, was Emancipation Day, and the governor was petitioned by the citizens of the county to set some other day far the execution. as the gatherings of negroes on Emancipation Day are always abnormal. There was also the reason that it was hardly the proper thing to hang negro on the date whten his fellows were celebrating their chief festival
 The hanging was simply postponed week and Rosamond will be hanged on June 26th.
