OHIO GRANGE AFFAIRS.
State Grange Has $4,000 In Treasury
and 4,500 New Members.

State Master Il. c. Laylin of Ohio re-
ports that several new balls have been
erected and dedicated to the use OF the
Order, indicating TO some degree the
permanency of the rganization. For
ty new subordinate oranges have been
organized since the last annual meet
ing and eleven reorganiZed. Two Pc
mona and two Juvenile oranges have
also been organized. Four thousand
FIVE hundred new members have been
added since one year ago. The proven
bal rainy day is well provided against
by comfortable balance of SOS, 900 in
the treasury. During portion of the
year two organizers have been kept in
the field, the expense being shared
equally by the state and national
oranges. This experiment has proved
very satisfactory. The field meetings
were largely attended and afforded an
excellent means for getting "a hearing
upon the principles and work of the
Order before the people of the state.
These meetings have become so numer-
Gus that it has been found necessary
to organize a speakers bureau COM
posed of the officers Of the Ohio state
grange, the secretary of the national
grange and half dozen other promi-
nent Patrons OF the state.

NEW WAY TO HATCH CHICKENS
Electric Light Does II One Day Quicker
Now Than Mother Hen Can.

Old mother hen may not have
chance TO hatch her own chicks any
more, for there is way Of doing il
by electric light now which puts the
old fashioned way far in the back
ground. At the poultry show at Mad
ison Square Garden, in New York, the
other day scores Of chickens were
Matched by electric light under a glass
globe where every one could see the
process. The electric lights keep the
temperature inside the globe at a de-
gree which brings the chicks out OF
the shell one day quicker than mother
hen ever did it. The chicks came into
the world fast, and New Workers look
ed on with open mouthed surprise.

novel improvement on nature it was
even more surprising TO the farmers
who were attracted to the city to see

ing.
One could see the egg crack and soon
notice a tiny beak pecking at the
crack until there was a small hole.
Gradually the chick pecked away
enough shell to poke its head out and
soon broke the shell away until it tum-
bled out a free, healthy, featherless
chick. And if one happened to come
around again in an hour he could see
the feathers grow and the chick hop
ping around inside the glass globe.

GREAT STATE PARK.
1arrman's Gift TO New York Provides
Recreation Ground Sixty Miles Long.


Recreation for generations yet 10
come is provided for i'm the gift to the
state Of New York of 10000 acres of
mountain and forest on the west bank

man in carrying out the wishes Of her
late husband, the railroad magnate
and financier. Mr.. Hartman foresaw
that the congestion of population
which is bound to come in the succeed
ing decades would require that some
proper provision be made for the great
metropolitan district Of New York city.
The property which the state should
acquire in order to carry out the idea
would include an additional 25,0OO
acres near Arden as well as the land
along the shore Of the Hudson, which
would extend the parking of the Pail
sades from the end of the present res
ervatiOn, near Nyack, to Newburg.
AS it appears in the maps now in the
possession of the commissioners OF the
Palisades Interstate park the proposed
reservation In Orange and Rockland
counties will extend back ten miles
from the Hudson to the neighborhood
of Tuxedo and will be from five to six
miles in width at its broadcast point
The tract combining the Hartman
gift and the land to be acquired is
pear shaped I'm form. 1t consists of
mountains and forest and abounds in
every natural charm. Whatever may
be done, ii is necessary that there
shall be a sufficient outlet from the
property in the Hartman tract to the
sary to insure an adequate park for
the needs of future teeming millions.
The idea had been in the mind Of
Mr.. Hartman for years, and the OBJ
tanning OF the other subscriptions has
largely been due to George w. Per-
kins, president Of the New York state
Palisade commission. who for several
years has been working i'm the inter-
ests OF the plan.
Should the state of New York accept
the offer Of Mrs. Hartman there will
be continuous park extending along
the shore Of the Hudson river from

of sixty miles. The states of New

To relieve the signal flag famine on
the Santa Fe, hundreds of women of
San B%ernardino, Cal, are engaged in
the making of $1,000 colored flags for
immediate delivery.
Impossible to place a contract for
rush delivery of the thousands of flags

company accepted the offer Of the
women of the Episcopal church. For
many days the women of the church
have been striving to complete the
task and deliver the first lot Of flags.
In households all over the city other
women, not members of the church,
are assisting in the task, and needles
and sewing machines are buzzing with
a vim. The total receipts are to go
to the church, the women donating
their services, in the effort to assist
