Of late arrivals.
The Fourth degree was worked upon

Highway Commissioner Paul D. S;ir-
gent and d. Ware King OF Missouri
1t was voted 10 buy 800 copies Of a
little parliamentary manual compiled
by Prof. A. f. Rogers for use by the
Grange in Maine. Mrs. Lizzie NJ.
Kicker of Hinckley made a report for
the committee in charge of the fund
for the Grange cottage for girls at
Good Will Farm. OF the $4,000 desired
for this fund slS62 has been paid in to
the cOmfllttee.
A resolution was presented from the
Oxford Pomona urging concerted ac-
zion by Name farmers for & higher
Price for sweet corn delivered at the
canning factories. Another resolution
was presented urging a sufficient ap-
lrnpriation by the Legislature for car
rying on work against gypsy and
brown-tail moths Another resolution
called for distinct and permanent
badge for voting members to be sup
piled at coming sessions by the State
Grange officers. These We're all referred
to the committee on resolutions Mrs.
w. J. Thompson read resolutions of
sympathy with State Master Stetson
and his wife. and they were adopted
by rising vote.
1t was 40 when the business was
suspended and the meeting was de-
cl"rrd open for the rest of the after
noon Highway Commissioner Sargent
and Mr.. King of Missouri, who had
been waiting outside for two hours,
We're admitted and escorted to the
stage. Mr.. Sargent was the first speak
er and he briefly reviewed the work Of
his department since it was created,
the old conditions of road construction
and supervision which needed a change,
the results accomplished and the
things aimed at in the future. He gave
some very convincing figures and ap-
pcaled to the Grange as the most CT
fective organization to carry on the
good road work. He spoke for Is min
utos and was followed with the closest
attention.
Then Overseer Bearce introduced Mr.
King. who had come from Missouri
to tell about the split log drag which
has revolutionized the business OF road
making ir the West. Mr. King proved a
most entertaining speaker and al
though the hour was late he held the
own experiences on Western roads
brought out much laughter and APP
plause. and his story OF the origin OF
the split log drag and his careful de-
scription of this simple and effective
device was exceedingly interesting
This drag is already in use in some
Maine towns and no doubt it will have
| a big boom as the result of Mr.. Kings
visit to Maine. It's simplicity and cheap
| ness are great arguments in it's favor
| one man can make such a drag out of
a single log in few hours at an eX-
renSe of a dollar or two-and its ef-
| !ectiveness is demonstrated by tine
| roads upon which it is used Mr.. King
spoke for over half an hour and later
/ held an informal reception and answer
cd many questions. At the close of his
address 135 men, with uplifted hands,
promised MIR King that they woald
make and use split log drags.
