What the GRANGE Wants,

Ex-Governor c. ]. Bell of Vermont,
asked recently in a newspaper inter
view, What does the grange hope to
accomplish in the next few years"
said:
Among the reforms for which we
will strive are: The parcels post, in
many states the postal savings bank,
national aid for good roads everywhere
as one Of the things very essential to
the farmer, centralized schools in To-
calities where conditions are favorable,
the Introduction of agricultural studies
in the public schools, not entirely for a
commercial purpose, but also for edu-
cational advantages. The grange al
ways stands for good citizenship and
as much as any organization stands for
the things which will produce it. Its
policy will be nonpartisan, but always
for the best. Good citizenship means
much is all that need be said along
that line. The organization is now rec
ognized by congress and taken into
consideration on legislation affecting
farmers"
"Will the grange get all the things
for which 1t is now striving" was
asked
Eyes, everything, and l say this be-
cause the things for which we stand
are right"

STAGE FRIGHT.
Actors Have Been Known to Die From
the Maiady.

Perhaps the most terrible malady
which can attack the actor in the
course of his performance In the Pc
culiar disease known as stage fright
Through its evil effects strong men and
women have been known to faint,
break down and do many other queer
things, and there are even on record
several cases Of people who have died
through this horrible seizure.
Some years ago young novice who
was to appear for the first time ar
rived at the theater very white and
shaky. Brandy being given him, he
appeared slightly better, but no sooner
had he set his foot on the stage than
he clapped his hand to his heart, with
a low cry, and fell down dead. The
overwhelming sensation induced by
stage fright had attacked his heart
and his theatrical career ended thus
even at it's beginning.
Quite as ghastly was the case of the
young amateur actress who, strangely
enough, had never experienced stage
fright when playing with her fellow
amateurs, but who was seized with the
attack on making her first professional
appearance. She went through the
scene aided by the prompter her eyes
glazed, her hands rigid. and when the
exit came it proved her exit from life's
stage as well as the mimic boards. for
she staggered to her dressing room and
fell into a comatose state, from which
she never recovered.
Perhaps, however, the most peculiar
instance of all was that of the veteran
performer who had gone through thirty
years of stage work without experience
ing this malady. One night. however,
he confided to a fellow player that a
quite unaccountable nervousness had
suddenly taken hold of him and that he
did not think he could ever act again.
His comrade laughed at the notion
and urged him to go on, as usual, but
his establishment may well be conceiv-
ed when the poor old player went on
the stage and, after making several
vain efforts to speak, fell back and ex-
pired. The doctor who made the post
norton examination stated that death
was due to failure of the hearts action,
evidently induced by the presence Of
an attack of stage fright.-Pearson's

N. w. Packard Of Barre, Mass, ia
Appointed Superints ndent.

The kurn Hatiin Homes foi BOYS, at

known as one OF the leading pfiilan-
thropies of the State, and an institution
which has done a noble work for needy

THE PARCELS POST.
The Loeieal Outcome of the Rural
Free Delivery Service.

Free Delivery Service.
The national grange will set in mo-
ton some strong forces this fall to Sc
cure the enactment of parcels post
law. 1t is going to be the hardest
kind of a fight, but some sort of a
law governing the transportation in
the mails of small packages up to
eleven pounds or so weight is surely
coming in the near future, and the
grange is going to be the important
factor in its accomplishment, as 1t was
in regard to the rural free delivery
system National Master Bachelor
said in an address delivered before the
New Hampshire Retail Grocers' asso-
citation, "a cheap parcels post is, in
fact, the logical outcome of the rural
mail service and the one thing needed
to make it self supporting" The grange
plan provides for general parcels
post wi h Il maximum weight limit Of
eleven pounds to cost % cents to any
postoffice in the United States and a
rural parcels post with the same max
imum weight, the rates to be l cent for
each pound or fraction thereof and
cent for each additional two pounds
up to eleven pounds, and this rural
rate to be available only ON any one
rural route to and from the postoffice
to which the route belongs. This is
probably the proposition which the ma
tional grange will ask the various state
oranges to indorse this winter.

ONE THING OR MANY.
Should the Grange Limit Its Energies
to the Fsrr2

DR.. George NJ. Twitchell quotes Gil
bert NJ. Tucker as having said at Il
large grange rally in New York that
the grange should coni,ne itself pretty
closely to those questions which con-
Germ the farmer as a farmer and not
undertake to discuss and settle that
great number of questions which con
Germ others as much as they concern
the farmers. He said that Mr.. Tucker
cited in support of his position the
results obtained by the labor unions.
He would advise going after one thing
at a time and putting the whole
strength of the organization into it.
DR.. Twitchell then said: This is to
my mind both sound and unsound. 1t
Is true that the Order must be centered
on large and far reaching problems
and that at the heart of each and
every one must be the welfare of the
industry, but under the complex rela-
tons of the present the farmer is
first of all citizen, and every question
bearing upon the home, the farm or
the duties of citizenship becomes vital
to him. You cannot narrow the
grange to 'one thing at time even
though by so doing greater influence
may be centered on a problem.
what the grange needs and every
other organization wants to feel today
is the necessity for an acute interest
in the homes, schools, churches and all
civic problems and to seek diligently
for such solution of each as will
strengthen home life on the farm and
insure a stronger, more positive public
sentiment along the higher lines of liv-
ing. Against the tendency to drift
every hand must be raised, and this
tendency will be checked as active,
earnest interest is liked upon all the
questions bearing upon the farm and
farm life. The growing of crops and
disposal of the same cover problems Of
deep significance, but towering above
those are the questions which relate
to the home and the future welfare
and worth of its members. Here is a
great work for the grange and a
grand opportunity for every patron"
