@OME along now, children, and
your Uncle Bob will give you
" ride. What kind O; ride
would you like best of all?
What-aeroplane? Mercy, no! That
machine that flies up into the sky and
over rivers and fields and towns is too
dangerous for children. 1t will be a
long time before the men who invent
things will build an aeroplane safe
enough to carry little ones like you
For the present you'd just better stick
to the earth and not try to go flying
away into the air.
So we won't think about taking an
aeroplane ride yet Automobile did
you say? Well. Uncle Bob has no au-
tomobile for you today. but he has
something that's lots more\ fun. A
pony? Well. not exactly that. but it's
something that walks.
Wait till we get the bride on. There
take the reins and guide him. Why
what a funny bird. Yes, he's an os-
trich. You never rode an ostrich. did
you? Some ostrlches are too bad tenn
pered for children to ride. but this one
has been tanned, and he's all right
You don't need any saddle on him.

Would you like to have an ostrich

resentation In That Body Provo<es
Considerable Discussion-No Elec-

1t was in 1905 that the national
grange last met in this city by the
sea. Again, on Nov. 10. there con-
vened there not only the members of
the national grange proper-that Is,
two delegates from each grange state
but hundreds Of Patrons from the
eastern and middle west states to at
tend the session Of the national body
and incidentally TO regale themselves
in the ozone. If not In the waters, Of
the old oce.ln. Atlantic City is an at
tractive PLACE even In autumn. A
large excursion was run from the New
England states and eastern New York,
and the itinerary was extended to
Washington for as many as cared to
go.
The sessions Of the rational grange
were held in music hall on the steel
pier. probably the finest meeting place
ever provided for such an occasion.
The grange headquarters were at the
Hotel Chalfonte, and here the state
masters and the New York delegation
of visitors were located
The first Wednesday evening of the
week in which the grange convenes
Is always devoted to public meeting,
and for this occasion the following
program had been prepared for the
evening OF Nov. 16: Welcome address,

sey; response. Hon. N. ]. Bachelor

ton Of officers this year, as they were
chosen for two years at the last session

Much interest was taken in the prop
osition to change the basis of repre-
sentation in the national grange. Ever
since the order was founded In 1867
the only voting delegates in the ma
tional body have been the master OF
| each state grange and his wife, III hap
| PLY he possessed one. Not having
wife, the state master must then be
| the only representative from that state
entitled to vote. 1t was proposed at
the Des Moines Qa.) session last year
to change this representation to one
based on the grange membership In
each state giving one delegate to about
10000 Of the membership, thus max
ing it q popular representation CORE
| sponding to that Of the lower house OF
congress. whereas the old system cor
responds to the senate or state repre-
sentation. Important questions of a
public nature and dealing with farm
