GRANGE NOTES
Rv IL. w. M.

There is plenty of space in the
newspapers for some Of the
Grange political promoters of
Sheriff Joe Dennis to explain
why he rides on a free Tramway
pass.
A large number of the Grang-
ers in Wheatridge and Arvada
voting precincts sincerely hope
that Bros. West and Johnson, Co.
commissioners, change east line
of Wheatridge precinct so it will
take in what is known as Berke-
ley precinct, which includes the
towns of Lakeside and Noun
tian view. By so doing it will
be possible at the next general
election for the citizens of
Wheatridge and Mountianview
to vote that precint dry.
The Grangers and farmers in
general are beginning to find out
that the risks run by the tin
horn" gambler, who plays with
loaded dice and marked cards,
is far greater than that of a
monopoly like the beef trust,
which is the complete master of
a great food commodity and
which through cold storage can
keep its products an indefinite
period and starve the public into
paying eXtortionate prices.
That the prices paid to the
farmer has risen along with the
high prices of staple products
and all things else in recent
years, is true; but the riseis very
slight compared with the price
extracted from the consuming
public, The Grangers at every
turn are being heldup by trusts
andmonopolies that pick the pock-
cts of industry to enrich the fav-
ored of privilege. The trust apol-
ogists claim that the cause of
high prices is a scarcity of cattle
yet not withstanding the tariff
fence that enables the trust to
enjoy a monopoly at home, more
than $50, 600 head of cattle are
every year sent to England from
New York and Boston to be re-
tailed for less than citizens of
Boston pay Tor the same meat.
and it is said that the trust has
more than fourteen million whole
beef carcases in cold storage at
the present time.
AS q rule the Grangers and
farmers are becoming throughly
disgusted with President Taft's
continuance of pitiful exhibitions
of ignorance, which he is giving
them every time he attemps to

economic problems, such as the
tariff and reciprocity.
The President in his annual
message to Congress, couldn't
put his fingers on much of any
thing, so far as the cost of living
was concerned. Prices were high,
of course, but they were high all
over the world, and anyway high
prices were good for the farmers.
Why were prices high? Oh, he
didn't know. The increased pro
duction Of gold probably had
something to do with it. He
was sure the new tariff law was
not to blame. Then he added:
The increase in population, and
the more expensive mode of living
of the people, which have not
been accompanied by a proper
tionate increase in acreage pro-
duction, may furnish another
reason.
And that was all. Not word
about trusts. Not q WORD ABOUT
robbery. All the blame put on
the energetic gold miners, who
increase the supply of gold; the
foolish farmers, who failed to in
crease their acreage production;
the parents who bring children
into the world; and the high roll
ling consumers who insist upon
a more expensive mode Of living.
A day or two latter he dis
missed the whole subject by say
ing: I'VE are living in the auto
noble age"

The experimental farm conducted
by the subsistence department at
Camp Wears. P. L., for the purpose of
determining whether potatoes could
be successfully raised In the Philip
pines has proved the unfeasibility of
such project. Although the condi-
tons were exceedingly favorable when
the plants first came up, the report
admits, blight invaded the farm, and
while the yield averaged twenty-five
bushels to an acre, only fourteen of
these were found fit for consumption.

WOMEN AT FOOTBALL GAMES
Goods" Should Express Enthusiasm
at Gridiron Contests, Say Some
Educators. N -

A few days ago Miss Ida Comstock,
dean of women at the University OF
Minnesota, following football game
at which the goods made considerable
demonstration, declared that women
should not cheer at football games.
1t is unwomanly-. They should con-
fine themselves to the singing OF col
lege songs and waving of their college
banners" =
Opinions on the subject from col
lege authorities and others of coedu-
cational institutions vary. In some
instances the contention of Miss Com
stock is upheld, in others opposed,
and in others no SPECIAL opinion is ex-
pressed. The goods of Butler col
lege, in Irvington, don't believe it un-
womanly to give vent to their feel
ings at a football game. One girl
who evidently expressed the feelings
of a majority of them. exclaimed:
go to football game and not have
a right to cheer! Why you might as
well try to hold a sewing circle and
attempt to keep the women from talk.
ing. We girls can't help 1t when we
yell at football game. We couldn't
keep from cheering even If we tried
ever so hard, and | wouldn't think
much of the girl who didn't. | can't
see how 1t can be construed unwom'
anly to cheer at game"

persistent labor along tines that are
practical, at the hands OF men who
are accustomed to the country, thor
oughly understand the habits of the
wild animals and are familiar with the
means OF their determination.
Where hunters are employed. the
use of poison as means OF extermi-
nation stands first. Its advantage
lies in the ease and rapidity with
which 1t can be handled. Where the
labor of half dozen men would be
required in setting and watching a
line of traps, one man could easily
cover the same country with poison.
The greater the number of bats the
greater the chances for killing.
For bait fresh rabbit meat is the
best, but If this is not to be had boiled
ham, fresh liver, mutton or beef tai
low, bacon or quail are fair substi-
tutes. The quail. If broiled. and tho
breast meat used is almost equal to
the rabbit. Never poison anything
containing a bone. Never touch the
bait with the hands or any other part
Of the body. Strychnine is the best
poison. Ordinarily, as much as can
be held upon the point of a large blade
of pocket knife will prove fatal to
any animal"
