Died on Her Wedding Eve!

John Kendrick Bangs contributes to
the May Smart Set delightfully."- humor-
GUS essay on the difficulties that confront
the literary beginner. In his usual sat
irical vein he offers few suggestions.
He says:
There is not subject in the whole
range of human life that some editor
somewhere will not print story about,
provided you can find him, but strong
" recommend the beginner who desires
to take the shortest cut to publication, if
not to distinction, to start in along the
lines of mortuary fiction, something in
which the undertaking business plays a
more or less prominent part. If you can
possibly discover some new method, for
instance, of depriving baby of his life,
not necessarily painful to the child him
self, but in way that is peculiarly dis
tressing to the hearts of parents, you
will stand most excellent chance of an
immediate acceptance of your material.
The dead baby is to modern fiction what
steel is to modern industry.
The wholesale massacre of young
women recently become engaged to be
married is also a generally popular topic
/ with magazine readers. 1t matters lit
tie how they are removed from the land
of the living so long as they are remov-
| ed, the two main points being first that
| they die, and second that they do it on
the eve of their wedding day. There
seems to be little choice between death
from the fumes of a leaking gas jet, a
fall through a shaky bridge into some
raging mountain stream, by poison taken
unwittingly as a sedative, and being
flung head first up against stone wall
by the sudden turning over of an auto
mobile-you may make almost any
choice of these with an equal prospect OF
success.

President Taft's Souvenir Postal.

Yes, she received the souvenir postal
card. When Mr.. Taft was passing
through South Carolina, on his way TO
Charleston to sail for Panama, a little
girl handed him from the rear of the
train bouquet of violets. She had fast
ened card to the stems on which was
written her name-Josephine Bass.
''Is this your name?" asked the Presi-
dent elect.
"Yeth," lisped the child.
"Your violets are very sweet, Jose
.phine, and would like to do something
for you; tell me what you would like"
The little girl hung her head and put
her fgner to her mouth refiectively;
then, with bright smile, she said:
II would like you to send me souve
mir postal when you get to the Canal"
The postal card was duly mailed, and
it is doubtful il the little recipient had
any more pleasure 10 the transaction
than was felt by the President-elect
when he directed the illustrated bit of
pasteboard to miss Josephine Bass, "
his little admiref in South Carolina, and
knew that her wish would be grstified.-

LABOR FOR THE FARM
Value of immigrants as Agri-
cultural Workers.

European Land TiIIers Prefer to En-
gage In Other Pursuits When They
Come to the United States-Sugses-
tions For Securing Farm Help.
G. A. Larmon, who is at the head of
the immigrant bureau at Albany and
who was chairman of the committee
on immigration and farm labor at the
New York state grange meeting, pre-
scented some very important facts con-
corning farm labor in this country. He
said that the question of immigration
had become one of vital Importance in
view of the fact that in the past
ten years 100000 immigrants had
come to these Shores speaking fifty
different languages. Since 1920 3d.
100000 have come. 1t is necessary, he
said, that they should be properly in
formed, directed and cared for when
they arrive, and if they are they may
be expected to add millions annually
to the nations wealth. The last year
10000 of the immigrants who came
here were farm hands in Europe, but
nearly all engaged in some other pur-
suits here
On the subject of securing help for
the farmers of the state he made the
following suggestion:
Farm homes should be established in all
parts of the state and be placed In charge
of experienced men to which immigrants
desiring to engage as farm laborers can
be sent upon arrival, to be there taught
the care and handling of domestic ami
mails machinery and something OF the
English language. Such homes In charge
of men understanding the language of
the immigrant would soon make them
useful to our farmers. They would then
have a home during periods Of employ
ment or sickness. and this would prevent
In a large measure many of them return
ing to the city. The amount of money
sent by immigrants to relatives and
friends in Europe annually is estimated
at $500 O0O. 900, a drain that probably no
other nation could long stand.
The department of agriculture OF this
state has for three and half years
maintained bureau for securing help
for the farmers Of the state and has dur
ing that period sent out over 1900 1t
has been difficult at times to secure good
men, but during 1908 the number was
largely In excess OF the demand. and
much better men we're secured. Applica-
ton to that department at Albany will
secure its assistance promptly and with
out charge for its services.
The decrease in immigration at present
and the starting of many mills and fac
tories will apparently make scarcity of
good farm help for time. Your COM
mittee strongly recommends the passage
of legislation by the federal government
to make a Spore rigid examination for ad-
mission by immigrants to this country In
| order to keep out undesirable and vicious
elements and would recommend and re-
| quest the legislature of this state to en-
act such legislation as will tend to re-
| form. protect and distribute immigrants
intending to make their homes in this
| state and such legislation as will tend to
secure the development and distribution
| of the Industries of the state and secure
and extend the possibilities for the en-
ployment of labor of all kinds in this
| state

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
Some Facts About the Great Houlton
Grange of Maine.

Houlton grange of Maine was organ
lied in April, 1864, with twenty-eight
charter members. 1t had uphill work
for several years. -Four years later 1t
had only fifty-four members. In 1879
the question of giving up the charter
was seriously discussed, and the rec
ords of one evening read something
like this: MET according to appoint
ment. Quorum present. No meeting
opened. Nothing said, nothing done,
nothing received" During the winter
of 1888 meetings were held at the
homes of the various members, and In
that year the grange became incor-
porated and built its first grange hall
When 1t celebrated its twentieth ami
versary it had only fifty members, but
from that time on 1t took new lease
Of life, and now 1t has nearly 1000
members.
The grange now owns large hall,
built in 1898, which is SO by 60 feet,
two stories high, with lodge room on
the second floor and dining room and
kitchen on the ground floor. 1t also
owns a blacksmith shop, two large
stables and a store and feed mill.
The present store, built in 1902, cost
about $1,000 1t is 80 by so feet and
one and one-half stories high. The
cost of running the store in 1908 was
about 5000. Six years ago the store
had no capital, but bought on credit
and was open only three days each
week. The stock on hand In 1908 was
less than $1,000 and the volume Of
business $4,000. The store was not
open six days a week until 1904.
Within the last six years the capital
has increased to $4,000 in stock, and
the store has turned over to the
grange treasury about $4,000. The
cost Of running the store the last six
months was $1.SSO.S0. The volume Of
business for the year ending Dec. 10,
1908, was $4,000.
The grange feed mill was built In
1907. 1t is two story building 90 by
30 feet. The second story consists Of
storeroom and grain bins. The mill
proper is on the ground floor. 1t Is
simply a feed mill run by electric pow
er from Aroostook falls. There are a
twenty horsepower motor and twen-
ty inch attrition mill for grinding feed,
with capacity Of sixty bushels an
hour. The miller and electrician Is
Guy G. Porter.
Although since 1893 the business Of
the grange has been 80 pressing that
''the moral, intellectual and social ad-
vancement of the American farmer
has been somewhat neglected, the
grange is still doing excellent work in
literary and social circles.

4 HUSTLING GRANGER.
L. n. Hsaisy. Master Connecticut State
Grange.


L. II. Healey. the energetic master
Of Connecticut state grange, Is show
ing his capacity for work and his abil
ity to all his office in a most commend
able way. The grange in that state Is
growing substantially under his man.
agement He is a fluent and forceful
speaker and is in great demand among
the oranges Of that state.
One of the points driven home by
him Is the fact that the grange Is
a farmers organization and that the
lecturer owes 1t to members to bring
within their reach the best informa-
ton obtainable concerning work upon
the farm. Better methods Of agricul-
ture are needed, and cases are too
rare in which farmers are receiving
what they should from their soil and
crops. The cost Of raising crops must
he reduced, says Master Healey. and
1t should be one of the chief functions
Of the grange to help farmers in this
respect. Lecturers, If true to the pur-
poses of ehe grange, will not fall to
bring out the experiences Of their best
and most successful farmers on topics
relating to the farm, the household
and the home. Let the grange be the
center toward which all the best farm
ers and their families look for prac-
teal assistance In their work.
Connecticut has now something over
II. 900 members. State Master Healey
was instructed at the last state grange
meeting to appoint committee OF ten
from each Pomona jurisdiction to as
sist to develop plans for more general
cooperation among the members OF
the Order with regard to financial mat
tiers.

GRAPHING BIG PROBLEMS.
Good Word For Massachusetts Patrons
by a Competent Observer.


In recent issue of the New York
Tribune Farmer George w. Twitchell
of Maine has this to say of the work
of the grange in Massachusetts,:
"Within the last few years the
grange In Massachusetts has been
graphing big problems, and, centering
attention here, there have followed
what always attend united consecu-
tive effort, decidedly increased atten-
ton to the Order and appreciation Of
its possible worth and service. SO gen.
eral have these become that through
out public life the question of what
the grange wants or thinks Is eagerly
being sought. Naturally there has
been an increasing number Of addi-
lions to the membership; but, II l can
measure up the situation, the workers
are seeking first TO strengthen work
along all helpful lines and increase the
possible service the Order may render
the state. The wisdom of this policy
is apparent In the attendance upon
these field day meetings and especially
In the enthusiastic interest recognized
everywhere In the presentation OF
questions bearing upon the farm and
rural life, those related to construc-
tive education seemingly taking first
rank
Largely through the strong. positive
position Of the Order upon educational
lines the master of the Massachusetts
state grange has been made a member
of the state commission of industrial
education. and today active prepare
lions are being made to start schoo
in Northampton to be devoted exclu
sively to industrial training, agricul
ture in all its phases to receive specia
| attention"
