THE SUMMER RALLIES.
Past State Master Horton Of Michigan
Gives Some Excellent Sugee stions.

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 stGtc lecturers bul-
letin he answers some timely questions
on the subject. They are as follows:
What are some of the essentials OF
success OH the part of committee on
arrangements for grange rally?
First, an earnest. active desire to
make the rally Il success as a 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 q deliberate rendition of the pro
gram.
VIII you kindly give few sugges-
tions to lecturers in making up Il pro
gram for rally?
So far as possible have all subjects,
speeches, recitations and songs of such
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 n
general ground. the ladies, young reo
pie and children may be recognized.
What are a few appropriate topics
ers at 1909 rallies?
Organization of farmers necessity
of the day.
The grange is the ideal form and
plan of organization.
The farmers unorganized are at the
mercy of other organized interests.
Success Oh the broader basis means
social, intellectual and business con
tact, and organization gives 1t.
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.
VIII you give few pertinent point
ers for state speakers to observe?
Keep in mind that rally is grange
occasion and as such is worthy of
thorough preparation. The gran Q is
independent of all partisan politics and
personal ambitions, and because of
this 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
not be truthfully said of any other in
terest. G. b. HORTON

Mcerien Answers DeBoIt Suit.

Wayne Herald Former State Su.
perintendent McBrien has filed in dis
trict court his answer to the damage
suit of Victor H. DeBolt. The latter
sued for s6,725, alleging that McBrien
has asserted to the county superinten.
dent of Wayne county that DeBolt was
booze fighter and poker player and
an unfit person to teach school, De.
Bolt alleged that he had been EN-.
ployed as principal of the schools at
Winside and that McBrien had made
ruling which prevented the author.
tiles of Wayne county from granting
him a certificate. 1t was asserted that
the state superintendent had also said
that he would not issue to DeBolt a
state certificate unless mandamused
to do so and that he had warned the
schools which are authorized to issue
state certificates not to grant one to
plaintiff. In his answer McBrien states
that when he gave the information to
the superintendent of Wayne county
he did so for the sole purpose of com
plying with his duties and obligations
as state superintendent. He had nc
malice nor i'll will and sought merely
to subserve the best interests of edu
cation in general and the schools OF
Winside in particular. He denies that
the school authorities of Winside had
entered into contract with plaintiff
for the reason that the latter could
not legally qualify to fill such position

TELEPHONE DAMAGE MYSTERY
Chicago Police Still Unable to Explain
Cause Of Explosion.

Chicago, June 2S-The cause of the
explosion which last night wrecked
the telephone exchange in the heart of
the city and did much damage to prop
erty, estimated to exceed $4,000, in
fiicted injuries which may be fatal to
one man and slightly wounded four
teen others, is still unexplained.
After several hours of careful inves-
tigation the police are unable to de-
termine whether the terrific detona-
ton was the work of several persons
desiring to harm the telephone COM
pany or another of the series of bombs
which have marked the progress of
what is known as the gamblers war"
A number of the employees of the
telephone company are on strike.
The principal damage was to the con-
duit through which the conveying ca
bles of the telephone company pass to
the central exchange.
Fifteen cables which control $4,000
telephones were torn and twisted by
the force of the explosion and some
of them were severed.
