What's In q Label,

There is q good deal of art in adver-
tlsing, and 1t has to be adapted to the
public 1t seeks to meet. Edward
Reeves In Brown Men and Women"
makes clear that what attracts the
American market may not serve that
purpose in the islands of the south
seas. He tells an experience which a
food firm had with one Of those sea
girt communities. The natives get
Sery tired Of fish, but are fond Of
canned beef, which they buy when
ever they have money. That they are
nothing more than children In their
Ideas the traders find out to their cost
II they are not careful. An exporter
Of canned meat was nearly ruined by
clinging to the trademark Of drag
.on's head. Shipment after shipment
was sent out from San Francisco, each
can branded with the flaming dragon.
The natives shuddered at the sight Of
the hideous thing. They were not 60
ing to eat the disgusting beast. In
vain the agents tore Off the labels; the
natives were suspicious and would not
buy. The whole shipment had to be
returned and put In fresh cans with a
fat OK or sheep on the label. All the
natives fully believed that the figure
on the label was a true picture of what
was inside.

A former Maine man is gradually
attaining considerable prominence in
the House of Representatives, He is
Frank Mellen Nye, a Representative
from the Minneapolis District, who
was born over at Shirley, Maine, in
1852. He is a brother of the late
"Bill" Nye, humorist, but bears out
the frequent saying that brothers are
generally very different. Represent
ative Nye is far from being a humorist
but he takes to serious oratory. The
State Minnesota has often sent Maine
natives to Congress. Some three or
four Maine men have come to Con-
gress from the Minneapolis district
and most of them have enjoyed long
tenure of the Congressional office.

Pittsfeld Grange. No. 102, held its
regular meeting Saturday afternoon,
April 3. Four candidates were in

grees and two members admitted by
transfer. Mrs. E. V. Mclaughlin and
Mrs. Gertrude p Willis from Har-

Newport, were visitors at this meet
ing. Interesting remarks were made
by the visitors and members of Pitts

Pittsfield Grange met Saturday
evening, April 10, for work in the
third and fourth degrees on four can
didates and to celebrate the regular
harvest feast.
There were 88 members present
when the Grange was called to order
by Worthy Master James S. Libby.
The degree work was done in an ex =
ceptionally fine manner without the
aid of Rituals. Following the degree
work supper was served to over 100
members and visitors. Among the
visitors present were members from
Monson, Dresden, Ellington and Har-
mony Oranges. The feeling seems to
prevail in this and in many other
Oranges in the eastern part of the
county that the Pomona Grange
ought to be divided. This subject is
topic for discussion at nearly all
the Grange meetings in this section.
The Union Grange will meet with
Twilight Grange in Corinna on We'd

closing program of the contest was
given, consisting of solos, music by
choir and graphophone; original
poems, essays, readings, recitations
and quotations were given for forty
five minutes, at the close of which
the points were reckoned up and it
was found that Capt. Pollard's side
had won the day, and Capt. Magoon
said his side would furnish the feed
the first meeting in May if the travel
ing would permit.
Bingham Grange.
Bingham Grange met at their hall
April 1st, to celebrate their twenty
ninth anniversary. AS usual there
was a goodly crowd who did full
justice to the bountiful repast spread
before them, after which they re-
paired to the upper hall and listened
to program Of readings, essays,
speeches and music, much enjoyed by
all.
April 10th, the Grange met in regu-
lar session, and elected Fanny CLARK,
Lecturer, to fill vacancy caused by
resignation of Lillian Washburn.
The question, "What is the most
economical farm fence?" was dis
cussed by the brothers and the
woven wire fence was given the
preference. Brother Clark told us he
had ten miles of fence on his farm
built when timber was not considered
worth much; he has fourteen fields
into which he can turn his stock and
is sure to find them where he put
them. The Sisters discussed house
cleaning. This together with the
music furnished, one piece of which
