Dance at Scott Green.

This old homestead is often the
scene of delightful social entertain
ments and the one of Friday evening
of last week, in the opinion OF at
least one of our lady friends, was the
queen of them all. The history OF
the homestead is redolent OF liberal
and generous hospitality, and OF gen
tie and refined courtesies, and while
these glories have gone from many OF
the social centers of Southside Vir-
ginia, at Scottgreen, they were not
born to die. The night was a dark
one, and going from town to the
home was of nerve-uying and thrill
ling interest, and yet even such ad-
ventures added zest to the evening"
and made the lights Of the social mec-
ca shine out the brighter.
Music and dancing, sparkling wit
and whisperings too sacred to be re-
peated. made the hours 90 by on quick
wings, and when the good-byes were
spoken, they were mingled with
many happy returns.

GRANGE COOPERATION.
A Profitable Business Enterprise at
vineIand, NJ. J.

A Profitable Business Enterprise at
vineIand, N. J.
Vineland grange Of New Jersey, in
connection with the Farmers Club
and Fruit Growers union, formed an
association about six years ago under
the name Of the Grange Cooperative
society. Nine directors were chosen
as board of managers. Persons be-
came members by buying stock at S.
per share, but two-thirds of the mem
bers must be Patrons. In July, 1904,
a grange store was opened, which car
ried a full line Of groceries, feed, etc.
The cooperative plan provided for the
payment of per cent on each stock
holders interest in the concern at the
end of the year; also such a percent
age on all goods he had purchased as
his sales would allow after paying the
expenses. All sales must be for cash.
The business amounts now to over
100000 q year. Last April the store
building was burned, and a new one
is now being erected This will con-
tain n grange hall with all modern
improvements. The membership Of
this f1ourishing grange is 1854. 1t has
become one of the most popular So
cieties in Vineland.

STATE LECTURERS WORK.
Model System In Vogue In Massaohu-
setts State Grange.

Model System In Vogue In Massachu-
setts State Grange.
The advantages Of putting grange
work upon a thoroughly systematic
basis, so that exactly what is being
done can be positively known and def
nitely recorded, is shown in Massa-
chusetts, where the state lecturer,
Charles M. Gardner of Westfield, has
so systematized the work done during
the lectuxe hour that at the end of the
year complete total can be drawn of
exactly as the large business concern
draws OF its annual balance sheet for
the inspection of its stockholders.
This result is made possible by a
carefully prepared report system
whereby every subordinate and Po-
mona lecturer in the state sends to the
state lecturer once In three months a
complete summary Of all lecture hour
work In that grange, how many people
helped do 1t and how many persons
attended the meetings. At the end Of
the year the entire work of each
grange In the state is summarized and
shown on a large chart that Is ex-
hibited at the annual state meeting.
BY this system the astounding fact
was brought out of last years work
that over 10000 persons had contribut-
ed something 70 the lecture hour pro-
grammes in Massachusetts and that
the total grange audience Of the year
was 245,0O0 persons.
This system affords more than q
mere record of results. 1t provides the
means of comparison one year with an
other; 1t furnishes every three months
correct idea Of how each grange Is
getting along, whether holding its own
or not; 1t also gives the local lecturer
added reason for urging his members
to do their best in order that that
grange shall make the best possible
showing on the years chart at the
state meeting. A record is also kept
Of the leading topics discussed during
the year, and this also is presented to
the state meeting to show along what
lines grange thought is being especial
ly directed, while the distinct grange
efforts in behalf Of town improvement,
good citizenship, better schools and
other matters of ciyic betterment are
carefully recorded.
Few people realize the power Of the
grange organization or the influence
that it is exerting along such variety
of important lines every year. Such
system as that in vogue in Massa-
chusetts, which puts into actual and
easily understood figures the total
Vx1nrly dnnn In 70 fn dINrfno
aids greatly in bringing realization
Of the magnitude of the work and in
fluence Of the Order not merely to those
not identified with 1t, but even to its
own members who do not always ap-
preciate the scope and power Of the
Order Of which they are a part.

most noteworthy suits against the
trusts. He began his cabinet career
under President Mckinley shortly be-
fore the latter was assassinated, hav-
ing been appointed to fill the place of
John William Griggs Of New Jersey,
resigned. With the accession of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the White House
he was chosen to continue in the cabi-
net. He resigned the attorney general
ship June 80. 1904, to accept his
Pennsylvania senatorship appointment,
nypacker. He took his seat in the
senate Dec. 9, 1904, and Is at present
serving term which expires in 1911.
Senator Knox was born at Browns
vile, Pa, May 6, 1853. He graduated
from Mount Union college, Ohio, in
1872 and subsequently took the degree
of LII. d. at the University of Penn
sylvania in 1905 and at Yale in 1907.
His career at the bar began in 1875.
He became assistant United States dis
trict attorney for the western district
of Pennsylvania in 1876 and held the
post for year. He then entered the
practice Of law.
Senator Knox acquired a fortune
through his law practice. He owns a
beautiful home in Washington and has
fine summer place at Valley Forge,
Pa. On his farm there he breeds trot-
ting horses and gets a great deal of
pleasure out of speeding them himself
over his half mile track. He is also an
automobile enthusiast and owns sew
eral large and powerful cars. There is
an especial bond of sympathy between
him and Mr.. Taft in their mutual fond
ness for golf.

Gently been the cause OF the withdraw
al of the privilege in one instance by
the management of one of Gotham's
big opera houses. A journalist to
whom 1t had been extended delegated
1t to his sister, young woman of
highly specialized musical and social
capacity. This bright young person
saw In 1t an opportunity to square her
self socially with her friends, and one
day an even dozen OF them received
the following invitation:

vous at Mark Downs parlor and all go

first thing that confronted the leader
of the enterprise as the party entered
the vestibule was placard bearing
the crushing legend, "Free List Sus-

She tried to argue the matter with
the doorkeeper and was referred po-
litely to the business Office. 1t did not
work. Thirteen imbittered young wo-
men boarded a crosstown car, and
twelve Of them made occasional re-
marks. The thirteenth was silent.

The Head of
Taft'S Cabinet.


~ N the choice Of Philander Chase
Knox as the head Of his cabinet
President Elect William n. Taft
has conferred an honor upon one
Of his rivals for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination. 1t is understood
that Judge Taft is especially desirous
Of surrounding himself with men who
are recognized to be of signal ability
in their several fields so that his ad-
ministration may have the counsel
Of men who individually and collec-
lively can be Of the greatest possible
assistance to him in the satisfac-
tory solution Of the problems to be
met. The Office of secretary of state
has come to be regarded as one of
high honor, second only In many re-
spects to that Of the presidency. 1t
has been held often by men of presi-
dental size, among them Sherman,
Blaine, Hay. Olney, Root and Seward,
Lincoln's secretary Of foreign affairs,
not to mention Thomas Jefferson, who
occupied the post under Washington.
Judge Taft gave unusual thought to
the selection Of an incumbent of the
post Of secretary Of state not only be-
cause he wanted In 1t u good foreign
affairs secretary, but also because he
desired that the head Of his cabinet
should be a man capable of advising
him on matters outside Of that depart
ment calling for serious consideration.
AS attorney general in the cabinets
of President Mckinley and President
Roosevelt, Mr.. Knox became famous as
a public man several years ago. As
the occupant Of that position he initi-
ated some of President Roosevelts
