DEFENDS
THE FARMER
Postmaster GFandhOmme Tells
GrangerS They Get Small
Prices
SAYS TAFT DOESN'T
KNOW FARM CONDITIONS

At a well-attendcd meeting of Cen
ter Grange, AT Centrcville. on Mon
day, four candidates were ballotod
for. Horace Dilworth, Biderman du-
Pont, Mrs. Horace Dilworth. and Jo-
seph n. Grandhommo took part in the
lecture hour speaking.
Mr.. Grandhommo. past master OF tiie
grange in speech on the complex
problems facing the farmer in modern
life, spoke against President Taft's at
titude toward the National Granges g
disapprOval of Canadian Reciprocity,
saying that the President was not a
farmer and didn't know the conditions
and ought 10 have given more consid-
Grafton to the granger's objections to
reciprocity Mr. Grandh0mme said
that the farmer might not realize all
the expense and risk in manufactur-
ing, but neither did the city people
realize all the labor and uncertainty
and losses i'm farming, or they would
not object to paying the small sum
asked for farm products. He said peo-
pie would spend any amount of money
on luxuries, while objecting TO the
price of farm products.
Mr.. GrandhOmme also took up the
matter OF keeping the young people
from going to the city by an educa-
ton which should teach them to Gp-
preciate country life. He spoke of
the difficulty of getting help on the
farm, although the cities were full of
idle men, the shorter hours and high
er pay attracting men to find city
work, If possible. In concluding, the
past master said the farmers need
men of agricultural knowledge, such
as Senator McCumber. OF North Da-
kota, to defend their cause, and thai
many national and state represents
tiyes knew little about farming.

stroy," the letter read. Il need the

her a bale of fresh clover yesterday.
She needs medicine" Snyder looked
Into his prescription book and pretty
soon decided that the proper thing for
Hattie's insides was dainty little
mixture of one-half gallon of linseed
oil, two ounces of laudanum and two
quarts Of spiritus frumenti, the last
being, according to Mr.. Snyder, Just
plain whisky. But Hattie doesn't like
booze. So they had to chain her feet
and hoist her head with a block and
tackle and when she opened Fer
mouth for Wisp of hay Snyder
poured the mixture down her throat.
Hattie coughed once when the mix
ture was half way down, and, in the
words of the song, "The blow almost
killed Billy" for he received about a
pint of the mixture in his eyes and
was blown clear off the barrel on
which he was standing, but outside Of

swallowed enough, however, to chase

WAR ON BASEBALL GAMBLING
San Francisco Judge Issues General.
Warning From Bench Wlsen Four
Men Are Arrested.

Judge Weller Of San Francisco is-
sued a general warning from the,
bench to gamblers who bet on base
ball games when the cases of the four
men arrested at Recreation Park re-.
Gently were brought before him. He
was forced for lack of evidence to dis
miss the cases of Leland Kroper, Joe
Barton, Joe Peyser and Walter, alias
Specs" Smith, who were charged
with betting on Sundays game, but
gave the men a severe talking to-
"Any time you gentlemen connected
with the baseball management bring
a case before me with proper evi-
dence, / assure you that will go to
the limit of dealing with the men who
bet on baseball games,' said Judge
Weller. Here is one game that the
whole country is interested in keep
Ing clean, and for the sake of sport
only. Gambling must be shut out abb
solutely. You men brought before me
charged with gambling on the games,
have played the game at some time
when you were boys and know as well
as I do that the sport must be kept
clean from gambling of any kind. Gam
bling has ruined other sports, and I
am going to do all in my power to see
that baseball is kept free from it"
The arresting officers testified that
they saw Kroper and Barton exchange
money and saw Peyser and Smith
making signals with their hands, but
they did not hear the conversation
that took place between the men.
The San Francisco baseball manage
u,ent is determined to stamp out the
evil and plain clothes men will con-
tinue to be placed at the park to see
that no gambling takes places on the
games.
