State Master Talks On Good Roads,
Law Changes DEMANDED.
The Pennsylvania state grange held
its thirty-seventh annual session In the
state college. There were over 1000
delegates and visiting members pres
ent. The sessions were held in the
auditorium of the college. The public
session program included an address
by State Master Greasy, J. L. Holmes.

college and J. II. McSparran of the leg
islative committee Of the grange. The
tour through the institution, made the
next day, was full Of interest and ben
eft to the visitors. The sixth degree
was conferred on class of 400 candi-
dates. The executive committee In Its
report vigorously denounced the high
way department as being incompetent
and demanded reorganization Of 1t.
The grange also asked for an equitable
revision of the tax laws Of the state
and an amendment to the banking law
to permit the encouragement Of ma
tional banks to loan capital on real
estate and mortgages. The grange de-
nounced the Aldrich tariff bill, the cen
trail banking scheme and ship subsidy.
The grange demanded proportional rep
resentation in the national grange. 1t
favors a representative vote for Ordi-
nary questions, the state vote to be
used only when demanded. The key
note of the session was that through
legislation the farmers Of Pennsylva-
mia will come into their own. State
Master Greasy in his annual address
urged Patrons to make an effort to
have men nominated for governor and
for other public offices that would
give then a square deal" He urged
all to attend the primaries. Comment
ing on good roads and road legislation,
Mr.. Greasy said:
II believe that the workings of this
township road law, with the full
amount OF $40 or $25 per mile appro-
priation. will make more good roads in
ten years than the department can
build in thirty years. We are anxious
to have the state build as many roads
as possible, but we believe some addi-
tional knowledge Is necessary before
good roads can be built with any last
ing qualities. The cost of these state
roads makes it impossible for many
sections to receive any benefit from
them. Then, again, the annual cost of
repairing these state roads is any
where from $500 to $500 per mile.
Some townships cannot afford this be-
cause their roads must be kept in a
passable condition. Dirt roads cost on
an average at least $40 per mile per
year. 1t is impossible to use all taxes
collected for building a piece of good
road and neglect the balance.
'The grange position on the road
question is that since all use the roads
all interests should contribute toward
their maintenance and repair. A tax
Of l mill on corporate and personal
property would make good road fund
that is fair, and we should stand by
this grange plan"

BAY STATE ACTIVITY,
There Are 26,782 Patrons In

Great Interest Shown In the Literary
Work Of the Grange by the Fact
That Over $4,000 Members Took Part
In the Discussions the Past Year.
Over Forty Oranges Held Grange
Fairs.
The Massachusetts state grange held
its annual session at Springfield, Mass.
with large attendance State Master
Richardson In his annual address urg-
ed, among other things, a more rigid
enforcement Of the seed and feed in
spection law. In the matter Of i'm
proving the highways he believed that
the cost of maintenance should be
equalized in proportion to the number
Of inhabitants served. He emphasized
the Importance of farmers cooperating
in fighting insect pests. He looked
upon the apathy Of many as most Sc
rious. State Lecturer G. Nj. Gardner
said that during the twelve months
ended Oct. 1, 1909, 1854 discussions
were held and participated in by 1902
Patrons, 1,647 papers had been read
and discussed by over $500 members,
1856 speakers had addressed oranges
on different topics, as entertainment
features nearly $500 vocal and nearly
5000 instrumental selections had been
rendered and readings to the number
of GILT. The total attendance on sub
ordinate grange meetings during the
year was 27O265. In $50 oranges some
phase Of town improvement had been
considered. and POI had devoted an
evening to patriotic themes, and the
children had been remembered in 1914
grange evenings all their own. Over
forty oranges had held fairs of their
own, and sixty-five have assisted in ag-
ricultural fairs in their vicinity The
secretary reported the total number Of
oranges in the state at 232 and the to-
tai membership 26,7S2, a net gain Of
nearly 1900.
The secretary Of the Mutual Fire In
surance company, in which the grange
| Is interested reported 3,0S5 policies
in force, carrying $3,046,410 in risks.
The Patrons Cooperative association
organized a year ago, did business
Of over $150,0O0 and shows a saving
to Patrons of $4,000 on $4,000 tons Of
agricultural chemicals, 10000 tons Of
grain and feed, 1000 barrels Of -four
and other things used on the farm.
The stock is held by GA people
Worthy Lecturer Charles Nj. Gardner
was elected to the office Of master.
The lecturers conference was attend
ed by 242 lecturers. The question of
abolishing the milk standard set by
law was up before the grange, and it
was recommended to the legislature
that the present standard be abol-
ished. F. W. Rane, state forester, said
that the state had lost $4,000 by for
est fires, large number of which
could have been prevented had there
been proper fire apparatus. He sug-
gested that the legislature appropriate
a sufficient amount for the purchase
of fire equipment. Two hundred and
ninety-six candidates took the sixth
degree. Worcester, Mass, will be the
place of meeting for 1910.

A Christmas Present.

Through close curtailment of ex-
penses President Justice will have a
neat little Christmas package for all
of the clubs. 1t is hard to believe,
but he says that each and every club
will receive back the entire guarantee
of $500 When questioned as to how
much would be left in the treasury.
he replied, with wink, 20, little,
guess"
1t was thought that the attendance
slump suffered by many of the clubs
would cut into the guarantee. Presi-
dent Justice STAYED it off by drawing
close line in the expense column and
was able to refrain from eating into
the snug sum of $4,000. The news
will joy clubs, for nearly all of them
can use the cash. President Justice
declares he will have enough to tide
him through the winter.

Gather in Chicago on Thursday,

Series in West.

Justice Was Also Able to Announce
Today That Each Club Would
Receive sum of s4oo Put
up Before Season.

The fall meeting of the Central AS
sociation will be held in Chicago on
Thursday, October 20, converting in
the morning at 10 o'clock This an
nouncement was made today by Pres
ident NJ. E. Justice, who will send out
the call Immediately
Magnates around the circuit have
been eagerly awaiting this announce
ment, for there has been much doubt
as to where it would be held Quincy
was entitled to it, but in view of the
fact that if the meeting convened in
Chicago it would give those attend
ing an opportunity of witnessing one
or more of the worlds series games,
President Hofer generously withdrew
his claim and it is possible that the
annual meeting in January will be
held there.
The date decided upon by President
Justice is one that should meet with
the approval of every directorate of
the circuit. 1t falls upon the first
day that the Athletics and Cubs clash
in Chicago. With the meeting begin
ming at 10 a. M plenty of time will
be left to attend the opening game
in the west in the afternoon, and
those who wish may leave Chicago in
the evening for home.

Burlington Citizen, Given to Close
Study of the River, Speaks on
Changes That VIII be
Wrought.
ISSUES A FEW WARNINGS
Tells of Work That Should be Done
Rejoices Over Fact That Motor
Boat Speedway Will be
Established.

One OF the good citizens of Burling-
ton, who enjoys an occasional day on
the river and who is fond of fishing,
has been studying the situation as it
will be after the big dam at Keokuk
shall have been completed. He says:
1t has been stated by experts that
the stage of the water will be station
airy here at about ten feet above low
water mark after the big dam at keo-
kuk has been completed. That being
the case most of the lowlands in this
vicinity will be permanently submerg
ed, except where protected by levees.
Nine-tenths of the surface of the is
lands above and below the city, such
as Big Island and Harper Island be
low, and Otter, Rush, O'Connell and
others above, will be covered, and
some of them will be entirely sub
merged. 1t would be well for Burling
ton and Henderson county and the
new bridge company to get busy and
get that wagon road built across the
bottoms opposite the city before that
territory is covered with water.
Carthage Lake Club will also do
we'll to take out the dam entirely to
give the lake chance to flush and
clean itself out good before they get
all this water. Afterward it will be
too late to do anything. 1t will also
save them from $1,000 to $1,000, as it
will be useless to rebuild the dam.
1T will be just elegant navigation
/ Tor the owners of gasoline launches,
as there will be scarcely any current
in the river between Muscatine and
Keokuk. 1t will be more like navigat-
ing a lake, and all dams will be GOV.
cred with from to feet of water.
The citizen is right in severa re
spects. A big lot Of high-priced, sub
stantial government work will be go
/ ing to waste when that big dam is
( completed. But then, in all likelihood,
( some time will elapse before the big
undertaking is finished. AS to the Illi-
nois bottoms opposite the city, it is
safe to assume that long before Keo-
| kuk begins supplying electric power
4 to everybody in the vicinity, all that
bottom will have been drained and
/ protected by great levees. But perhaps
some of that power will come very
handy for the operation OF electric
plows on the great bottom that has
never produced anything but rank
grass, and that will yield harvests
equal to those of the valley of the
Nile.
