Skowhegan Grange.

The program AZ previously an
nounced was carried out last evening
at the regular meeting of Skowhegan
Grange. Edward p. Mayo Of Water
vile, editor OF the Turf, Farm and
Home, was present and spoke on the
subject, Twelve Leaks on the Farm.
During the last six months Mr.. Mayo
has made trip abroad for the pur-
pose OF observing agricultural con
ditions in European countries and for
the past six weeks he has been lee
turing at Farmers Institutes in the
state of New York. These expert
ences, based upon many years of
study as the editor of the widely read
agricultural weekly above mentioned.
have given him a fund of information
on agricultural subjects far beyond
the average His address was very
interesting and helpful. The paper
by Miss Dorothy Elliott on every
Day Errors in English, was designed
to point out few of the more common
errors in our language as it IL usually
spoken, and admirably met this pur-
pose. The REPORTER hopes to be able
to reproduce it in these columns at an
early date. Mrs. Fred K. Hill read
Clemens humorous writing, English
as She is Taught" with the skill and
effect which she is always able to
give to anything of rhetorical
nature.
The titles of the poems, submitted
by the members as their choice of the
best English verse were "rhe Battle
Hymn of the Republic, by Julia
Ward Howe; "In Memorlam", by
Alfred Tennyson; 1.-The Building of
the Ship, by Longfellow; and The
Vision of Sir Launialo, by James
Russell Lowell. The first named was
the choice of the larger number.
In the Typographical Contest for
prizes offered by the Turf, Farm and
Home, the committee found that con
siderable time would be necessary to
determine who had won. They will
examine the papers submitted and
make their report at the next meet
ing of the Grange.
There will be a special meeting
next Tuesday evening for the pur-
pose of balloting on candidates.

A recapitulation Of the two reports

Of IA eggs per hen for the month.
q. F. Allen, Oakland: IS Rhode

Father Leo Herwichs, who was on
Sunday conducting communion ser
vices in a Catholic church in Denver,
Col, was shot dead by Giuseppe
Guarnacoto, an avowed anarchist and
priest hater. While on his knees at
the alter rail, between two women,
Guarnacoto pressed the muzzle of a
revolver against the body of the
priest, after receiving from him the
consecrated wafer, and shot him
through the heart. That bears some
resemblance to the assassination of
President Mckinley, who was shot
down by monster with whom he had

Clifford Pinchot made the declaration
on the return from six months in
spection trip, that in twenty years
the timber supply in the United States
on government reserves and private
holdings, at the present rate of cut
ting would be exhausted, although it
is possible that the growth of that
period might extend the arrival of
the famine another five years.
