Wednesday was patriotic and fratern-
al society day" in the Champlain tercen-
tenary celebration. In the morning there
was a parade with floats and automo-

floats and automobiles. The floats, some
of which had not been seen before, were
all artistic and were greatly admired.
The parade was preceded by process
sion of about 30 decorated automobiles,
each carrying young ladies representing
the various States of the Union. The
automobiles circled the different streets
of the oity and made very attractive
showing.
The parade was reviewed by the may
or and members of the board of alder
man from the grandstand in City Hall
park.

Dimit. Not Demit.

In seeking honorable dismission from
grange a member secures a card
known as a "dimit" This word is
often spelled incorrectly "demit," for
which there seems to be 40 valid rea-
SON. A writer in the American Agri-
culturist gives the correct derivation
of the woM as from the Latin dimit-
tere, to send away. Webster defines
it as to dismiss, let go or release.
Demit is derived from the Latin de-
mittere, to send or bring down, to low
err A dimit from an organization does
not lower one, and no grange should
accept bylaws from its committee with
such spelling in the text.

NEED OF THE HOUR,
A Closer Union in the Work OF
Grange Lecturers.
The Lecturer Of the Michigan State
Grange Suggests Specific Methods
For improving Present Conditions.
Value of Directed Effort.
Especial correspondence


"What in your opinion would
strengthen the grange and grange
work today" you ask.
A closer union among the various
lecture departments, national, state,
pomona and subordinate. On the
basis that the greatest mission of the
grange is educational and that the lee
turer occupies the position of teach
er, the organization should develop
strong constructive plans for exploring
and pre-empting the full possibilities
of the lecture hour. The system with
which its educational work is conduct
ed should be made coordinate with
that of other similar institutions de-
>yoted to agricultural and rural social
uplift AS a whole, we will do our
best under an aggressive stimulating
and directing force, emanating from
the highest and permeating every de-
gree of the order
Some of the specific methods by
which this closer union might be en-
ged are:
First-Through communications and
advising by correspondence of the ma
tional lecturer with under lecturers.
Second.-Through up to date printed
matter relating to grange history, ac-
complishments, progressive methods
and present methods, made available
for distribution from the national and
state offices.
Third.-Through a few broad topics
suggested to form the basis of uni
formity in program work and to Sc
cure concentration Of discussion
throughout the order within a given
time.
Fourth.-Through lecturers confer
ences (a) at national sessions, which
state oranges should encourage and
perhaps assist their lecturers to at
tend; Co at state sessions, which po-
mona and subordinate oranges should
encourage and sometimes assist their
lecturers to attend (c) at pomona SEES
sions. which subordinate oranges
should encourage their lecturers to at
tend. JENNIE BUELL.,

THE GRANGE NEEDED.
II Must Aid In Keeping the Young
Men on the Farm.

The drift Of young people from
rural homes to the city has shifted
heavier burden to the shoulders Of
those who remain, says a writer in the
National S~ockman. We no longer
have the old methods of entertaining
the young people in the country that
were common forty years ago, when
every schoolhouse had its singing
school and literary society. The opera
and moving picture shows are only in
the towns. The bowling alleys, bill
lard hall, poolrooms and card tables
are there also.
There is no better method of over
coming all these difficulties than to
have in every community good, live
grange. 1t encourages education. 1t
promotes social relations. 1t aids the
backward. 1t broadens the horizon.
1t elevates the morals. 1t teaches
thrift and economy. 1t promulgates
new ideas and demonstrates old
themes. 1t develops progressive
farmer who is equal to those in any
other calling. 1t makes of farming a
profession, dealing with scientific facts
fully established 1t dignifies labor
and raises the toiling husbandman to
a higher plane than he ever before has
occupied. 1t is no new thing. For
forty years it has toiled for the benefit
Of the masses. 1t is no untried thing.
It's demands have been heard by con-
gress and state legislatures. 1t seeks
no mere selfish ends All its past has

AERONAUT is
DASHED TO DEATH
Cut Loose With Parachute When
Too Close to Earth

Portland, Me-. July 6.-Mistaking
the promiscuous firing of revolvers by
the crowd below as a signal for the
climax of his aerial act, James Cor
coran, an aeronaut, 2S years old, OF
Lowell, Mass, was dashed to the
ground, meeting almost instant death
at the feet of 5000 Mortified spectators.
Corcoran was employed by Joseph
LarouX. 1t was arranged that Cor
coran should cut loose when he heard
a certain number of revolver shots
from LarouX ON the ground, the latter
to give the signal when the balloon
should have reached height of ap-
proXimately 5000 feet
After a few hundred feet up it hard
for an aeronaut to judge correctly his
exact height as he swings on the bar =,
so when COrcoran heard a fusillade OF
shots from the ground it is believed
he was certain the signal had come for
him to cut away in the parachute, al
though he was barely 500 feet in the
air.
The distance was too short for the
parachute to properly open and Cor
coran dropped in straight line, gain
ing speed as he neared the earth un-
til his body struck the ground.

was off into the air, shooting to the north
He soon changed his direction and was
circing to the south, with the eyes of
several thousand people fixed intently
on him. He swooped towards the
ground, DOTTED his hat to the crowd and
was soon again in the heights. The ship
went south as far as the Ferari show
ground where Mr.. Nassr had previously
announced he would land, and sure
enough he did and there was soon a
crowd to greet him there, for aUtomo-
biles and vehicles of all kinds plunged
down Shelburne road hot on the trail of
the balloon. The ship landed safe and
sound in the middle of the show ground
and after repairing a few braces Mr..
Nassr was ready to be off again. Again
he was out IN the air but the engine stop
ped. On account of the height of fences
around the show ground the airship had
to go up at an angle OF about Do degrees and
the result was that the gasolene could
not flow fast enough Assistants were
ready to catch the balloon when it de-
scended just north of the show grounds
and when the engine was again adjusted
the balloon was off again for the final
flight of the day. On account of the lack
of gas the ship was forced to rise at such
an angle that the chain flew from the
sprocket and the machine made a clean
descent in front of the home of Mrs.
| Horatio Hickok. The airship was taken
back to the aerodrome because CT the
lack of oxygen in the balloon.
Paine's grand display of fireworks, dis
played from the lake breakwater, attract

Congressman Foster spoke of the many
virtues of the president. His gentleness
of spirit, his kindness of heart, his train
ing, his firm grasp of great questions, his
calm judicial temperament, his unswerv-
ing courage and his strong sense of re-
sponsibility all go to make him an ideal
president. Mr.. Foster asked the audi.
ence to rise and sing America and this
was done heartily.

THE SUMMER RALLIES.

Past State Master Horton Of Michigan
Gives Some Excellent Suggestions.
The grange field day or rally is no.
where more successful than in the
busy grange state of Michigan. and
that success is largely due to the eff
forts of Past Master Horton. In the
last number of the state lecturers bull
letin he answers some timely questions
on the subject. They are as follows:
What are some of the essentials of
success OIL the part of a committee ON
arrangements for Il grange rally?
First, an earnest. active desire to
make the rally a success as II strength
ener and builder of grange sentiment
in the vicinity where held; second, a
fixed plan for program, advertising
and all essential details thoroughly
prepared and executed; third. make
the plan broad and liberal so all farm
ers will feel free to attend. Prepare
for enjoyment as well as profit, but
do not let side attractions interfere
with deliberate rendition of the pro-
gram.
Will you kindly give a few sugges-
tons to lecturers in making up a pro-
gram for rally?
So far as possible have all subjects,
speeches, Rotations and songs of such
a nature and character as to turn the
thoughts OF all listeners toward the
grange. Patrons should be on the
grounds early so as to meet and to
greet all arrivals, and especially stran-
gers need to be shown about details
and plans for the day. The program
should be broad in that, extra from
the main speaker, who will cover
general ground, the ladies, young peo-
pie and children may be recognized
What arc Il few appropriate topics
for addresses or papers by local speak
ers at 1909 rallies?
Organization of farmers a necessity
of the day
The grange is the ideal form and
plan of organization.
The farmers unorganized are at tho
mercy of other organized interests.
Success on the broader basis means
social intellectual and business con-
tact, and organization gives it.
The grange stands for all that is
progressive and ideal in farm life.
The grange creates independence In
the farmer man and woman, and by
their respecting themselves others re-
spect them.
Will you give few pertinent point
ers for state speakers to observe?
Keep in mind that a rally is grange
occasion and as such is worthy Of
thorough preparation The grange is
Independent of all partisan politics and
personal ambitions, and because Of
this Il rally speaker should studiously
avoid all these lest his influence will
be adverse to the real cause he repre-
sents. Be earnest in presenting the
grange cause, for in no other way can
the confidence of hearers be secured.
Do not be timid in urging benefits Of
farmers. for as agriculture prospers,
so do all others interests. and this can
