THE FIRST GRANGE.
1t Was Organized In Washington In
1868.


Not all members of the Order are
aware of the fact that the first sub
ordinate grange was organized In
Washington. The organization took
place in 1868. and 1t was known as
Potomac grange, No. l. The bylaws
made any one eligible to membership
who was engaged in agricultural OF
horticultural pursuits. The ritualistic
methods adopted were practically the
same as those now in vogue, as the
rules had been worked out by master
minds with great care. The officers OF
this grange were: Master, Norman j
Coleman; overseer, Daniel S. Curtiss
steward, Matthew Trimble; assistant
steward, Andrew Glass; chaplain, Rev
James Buck; treasurer. William Saun
ders; secretary. William NJ. King
gatekeeper, Walter T. Raub;t Ceres
Mrs d. s. Curtiss; Flora, Miss Belle
Saunders; lady assistant steward, Miss
Lizzie Raub.
The national grange has grown tire
mendously and has spread into thirty
states. In New York state the Ordel
has about $4,000 members.

pEcULI4R LABOR CONDITIONS.

Perplexing reports as TO the labor situation
emanate from various parts of the country. \
year or two ago there came cry, presumably
from the wheat fields Of the West, for help, lest
the grain crop perish but the consequent influx
of city men who didn't know a thrashinS ma
chine from a hay loader led many farmers to
protest against the inundation of incompetents
They were willing 10 pay good wages 10 farm la
bo-ers. but the butcher out Of job and the idle
baker and the candlestick maker were not re-
quired. About year ago the report came from
PiftsbUrg. where many plants had been shut
down entirely or placed on part time. with the
consequent departure of many laborers to their
old homes in Europe, that nothing prevented a
resumption of operations save the lack of labor
A Brooklyn man in need of employment made
the trip 10 Pittsburg, only 70 learn that there
had not been the slightest change in the situa-
sion. and wrote a letter TO one of the local
papers protesting against the efforts of Pitts

the expense OF deluded laboring men seeking
employment
Notwithstanding the fact that there is un-
ouestionably q large unemployed element In

large concern with congestion Of orders is
reported TO be extremely short-handed How
ever great the need Of labor may be in and
around Pitfsburg-and it is to be hoped that
there Is no lack Of employment there for every
abie-bodied msn desiring it-there is reason 10
believe that there is an abundant. though Ill
distributed, supply of labor in tlEs country just
at present. and that there is not the slightest
occasion for encouraging immigration-that on
the contrary, such action is opposed 90 the best

there is special demand for tailors in the

eight hundred immigrants were held at Ellis
Island for deportation, many of them Hebrew

the United Hebrew Trades met and sent Il pro-
test to Commissioner Williams, stating that
taOrs were much in demand. and the unions,
as a rule. We're unable 10 supply their employers
with sufficient labor. The labor market in TINS
country presents grave problems which thus far
have proved too deep for solution and on that ac-
count has been left pretty generally TO take

the wisdom of the recent move on the part OF
the Department of Commerce and Labor look
ing toward q more equal distribution of the
labor supply of the country. Conditions when
create great bodies of unemployed In one sec
ton and shortage Of labor in another are
economically wasteful and to a greater or less
extent preventable.

THREE NATIONS m REVOLUTIONS

There is now presented IN Eastern Europe
and Western Asia a spectacle which is probably
unprecedented in history. II Is that of three i'm
portant nations simultaneously undergoing revo-
lutions from causes and in circumstances which
are ar once strikingly similar and dissmiar.
The revolutionary movement in Europe in 1913
involved more than three nations, but it was
really single widespread movement, and there
were strong bonds of sympathy among all the
nations concerned. Among the three now under
consideration, however there is and has been
no sympathy, but rather q strong antipathy
founded upon differences of both race and relig-
ion, which are perhaps the most formida BILE and
unconquerable Of ali grounds of animosity.
Moreover, each of the three has more than once
been at war with each of the others
In one respect the three have been alike They
fingered under despotic autocracy long after ali
other important nations had emerged into en-
hghtened constitutionalism. They stood together
as relics of the dark ages of human government.
And nowthey are all three moving almost sinuI-
taneously and with some extraordinary like
nesses of circumstance and methods-thouyh
also with some marked differences-for popular
emancipation and representative government II
Is worthy Of note that the youngest and per-
haps most autocratic of the three was the frst
thus TO move. while the oldest and perhaps most
liberal is the last, and that the movements of all
three were entirely separate and Independent.

SOUTHERN EDUCATIONAL ADVANCEMENT

SUI IHEhN EBJ carr ~ AIDI ANtE MEM
AT the time Of the Conference for Education
in the South held in Atlanta some months ago,
attention was drawn. TO the wonderful strides
made by the South along educational lines in
the last generation Before the Civil War edu-
cation in the South was for the favored few, and
while many admirable institutions of learning
were maintained there the masses had little
part in the advantages offered, and there can
hardly be said to have been a public school
system worthy Of the name The election Of a
North Carolina educator president Of the
National Educational Association at its meeting
In Denver adds 10 the evidence already adduced
in support Of the claims Of the Southern states
to n juster estimate of that section Of the
country from a general educational point of
view.
So important did the new Governor of Georgia
consider the question of education in his own
state that as GOveTnor-eleCt he devoted large
part of one of his more important public ad-
dresses TO the subject, announcing his purpose
to bring the matter before the Legislature in a
special message After a fashion not unknown
in other sections of the country Georgia spends
O gOodly portion Of her money before she gets
it, and the result has been that teachers, none
toe well paid at the best although apparently
receiving salaries comparable to those in other
states, both North and West, outside of the
larger cities, have been compelled to accept in
the spring warrants for their salaries, which
they could not turn into cash, through the pub
lie treasury, until December. Naturally this
brought about a system of speculation in these
warrants which was very improbable to the
teacher and dscreditable to the state. A salary
of $50 or $40 a month for the school year OF
eight or nine months, with the discount of from
8 to 20 per cent which the money lenders are
said to have considered a fair remuneration for
the accommodation, does not present an en-
cduraging outlook for the ambitious would-be
teacher.
Besides the work being done through the
usual public agencies and under the auspices
and with the encouragement of the General
Education Board along these lines, there are
such organizations as the Mountain Educational
Association of Georgia, which has for its pur-
pose the founding of schools for the mountain
people of the state, with industrial features TO
meet their needs, the object being Ito fit them
Ito be active, intelligent workers in the uplft
I'VE are seeking to bring about in our South
LAND. and which can come only through the
concerted efforts of all concerned" And, as H.
Illustrative of the spirit in which the work is being
pushed forward, IL is interesting TO note that
outside help is not being sought. With a state
pride which is highly commendabie. there seems
