which they kept up during the winter
weeks. "our children are our most
severe critics. And especially with
as young children as mine-the old

great deal of their comment that a
woman may well take conscientiously
to heart. For instance, in matters of
truth telling. We, all of us older
people, slip into the conventional
falsehood habit and the polite excuse
habit-they are the easiest of sins.
But, frankly, Harriet has almost

To Clean Cut Glass.

Wash glass we'll in warm soapsuds;
use brush; do not use too hot water,
as it may crack glass. Rub dry in
clean sawdust; after removing glass
from sawdust use dry, soft brush
and brush glass clean from sawdust:
A good brushing will leave glass
brilliant. For cut glass wine, water
and vinegar bottles cut up raw pota-
toes in small dice, put in bottle to-
gether with soapsuds, and shake we'll
until bottle is clean; rinse in cold
water.-New York World.

dropped saccharine tablets from a

Grange Column
sesessssssssssssssssssss
Somerset County Pomona.

This grange convened In special
session with Anson grange at North
Anson. Tuesday. September rs, with
only three officers present, Oserseer,
Fred E. Davis; Lecturer, Eugene
Danforth; Secretary. s. +. Emerson;
and Ansel Holway of the executive
committee. Despite the rain which
fell in torrents all day, about sixty
members were present from Bing-
ham. Anson, Kennebec Valley Madi-
son. Skowhegan and Starks. After
the usual opening ceremonies, the ad-
dress of welcome was very cordially
extended to the visiting guests by
J. w. Norton, Master OF Anson
Grange and responded to by Ansel
Holway OF Skowhegan Grange, fol-
lowed by a song OF welcome by the
choir. The question box was then
passed around, and two questions
were gathered as follows: The
first was: What Is the cause of
railroad worms in apples and Is there
any remedy?' Answers and sugges-
tions were offered by ID. NJ. Norton,
Ansel Holway. F. E. Davis and others.
Then came the noon intermission for
the partaking of one OF those boun-
tiful dinners, known only to the
members of the order OF the patrons
OF husbandry. At 1.30 the meeting
was called again to order by acting
Master F. E. Davis, and eight can
didates joined the Pomona. After a
little business was transacted, the lee
turer's program was carried out as
follows: Second question: rs there
any need of change in our methods
OF Grange work, II so in what way?'
1t was discussed but little and laid
over until some future meeting.
Reading. Edith Salley; instrumental
music, Mr.. and Mrs. Lynn Viles; to-
pic, lis 1t advisable for farmers to
try to raise sweet corn at the present
prices paid at the canning factories,
or shall we demand more pay for the
year 1902" This was very interest
ingly discussed by Fl. B. Ellis, ID. M.
Norton, E. Millay. w. G. Emery, It'd.
Salley, o. w. Counce and others.
The farmers seemed united that they
must have more pay or stop raising
sweet corn, unless the canning COM
panies would guarantee more favor
able conditions of the soil and wealth
er. The discussion OF the above ques-
was lnterspersed with music and ta-
bleaux. The next in order was song,
]. Lynn Viles; banjo solo, Helen Hol-
man; song, Emma Dunton; song and
chorus, Susie Reed. All things con-
sidered, it was a profitable as well as
very successful meeting, and much
credit is due the County Lecturer,
Eugene Danforth, for his untiring ef-
forts to make Somerset Pomona one
of the best in the State.
