Of each other to the annoyance and
irritation Of their readers. A few
weeks ago, noticing the economic
tendencies of the times one Of the
managers was big enough to make
and execute plan Of consolida-

dated into two. The town could
support two papers. The papers
gotten out under the new plan were
much better than the old ones. The
whole community heartily approved
Of the plan and lent 1t their sup

Motion Pictures Aid Red Cross
Seals.


Motion pictures will again be used in
the Red Cross Seal nti-tuberculosis
campaign. A picture prepared by
Thomas A. Edison, Inc, entitled 1.-THE
Awakening of John Bond" will be
ready for exhibition about December
5th, according to an announcement
made to-day by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis.
The film is the fifth health firm, and
the second dealing with tuberculosis and
the Red Cross seal movement which has
been issued by Edison. 1t is about
900 feet long, and tells an interesting
story of everyday life in New York
city.
The leading characters in the story
are Bond, a political boss, his wife,
Grace, and Nellie O'Brien, aged Is,
living on the lower East Side of New
York The O'Brien's, large family
live in a miserably kept tenement owned
by Bond, who refuses to do anything to
clean up his building for fear of loosing
money. Bond is married and sails with
his wife on a cruise for wedding trip,
taking with him as deckhand, George
O'Brien. Nellie's brother, who has con-
sumption. On the cruise George fails
rapidly and finally dies; Bonds wife
having nursed him during his sickness
and being with him at the last so takes
his death bed messages. AS result of
this close communication with George,
Mrs. Bond contracts tuberculosis from
him, and is brought back to New York
for treatment On her arrival home,
she sends for Nellie to give her George s
dying messages, and there Nellie sees
and denounces Bond as the murderer of
her brother, because he refused to clean
up the tenement in which they lived, or
to help secure a hospital where con-
sumptives might receive free treatment.
Meanwhile, Bond has been trying to
find a sanatorium where he may place
his wife, but to his horror, finds every
private sanatorium full, and no room
for more patients. He then proceeds to
the tuberculosis society ard finds that
there is no public place, because he
voted against it. He tries to bride the
secretary to make place for his wife,
but the official takes his money and
gives him package of Red Cross seals.
Bond is at first angry, but when he
learns what the Red Cross seal means,
he writes out check for $780, 600 for
the campaign and agrees to support the
hospital bill The secretary then shows
Bond a tuberculosis exhibit and an open
air school, and arranges for the placing
of his wife and the O'Brien children,
who also have tuberculosis, in a sana-
forum. The last scene shows Bond s
wife and the o. Brien children recovered,
playing in Bonds parlor. and COM
mittee waiting on Bond, showing how
his candidate is being supported because
he believes in the tuberculosis hospital.
The film will be shown in thousands
of moving picture theaters during
December, and will be used by tuber-
culosis societies all the year round. The
picture is produced under the super
vision of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis and the New York committee.

There can be no valid objections to open
nominations in the grange provided no
nominating speeches are allowed. The
danger in allowing a nominating speech
is that some old grange wheel horse may
be able to influence elections.
In theory the closed nomination is ideal.
as it gives every Patron an equal voice in
the nomination and election of officers.
but frequently in practice 1t does not
work very well and consumes very
great deal of time. The Ohio state grange
unanimously went on record in favor OF
allowing open nominations without nom
mating speeches.

A State Lecturer Opposes.

In reply to your question, What is the
objection to open nomination in the
granger" am opposed to anything but
secret ballot, for some who will nominate
can carry a great influence sometimes
even more than they should. Therefore it
will be practically ring rule. AS for the
saving of time l see no great difference.
l have been at several elections. and
about as much time was used as by the
old method. To be sure. the ballot with
out nominations may re-elect more than
will be for the best interest of the grange.
especially the blanket ballot. We some
times hear Of deadlocks but this seems
unnecessary if all are interested and
working for the good of the order

OPEN NOMINATION
The National Grange Makes New
Method Permissible.

Candidates For Office May Now Be
Named When State Grange APP
proves-But Few States Have Adopt
ed the New Regulation-Some Opin-
ions on the Two Methods.
1t was a part of the original grange
constitution, If we mistake not, that
there should be no open nominations or
speeches made in placing names of
candidates before the grange when
about to elect its officers. But at the
last meeting of the national grange
the following resolution was adopted:
No nominating speeches shall be allowed
In any grange, but in the election OF off,
GERS 1t shall be permissible for a member
to present the name of another member
as a candidate for any grange office. But
this rule shall not become operative in
any state until adopted by such state.
So far as ascertained but nine state
oranges have taken any action on this
proposition. Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
vania, Vermont, Ohio, New York and
Maryland have approved the resolu-
ton. Maine, Rhode Island and Kan
sas have disapproved, and the others,
by taking no action. have allowed the
original method of nomination by writ
ten ballot to stand.
There are, of course, different opin-
ions On this subject, and these are well
stated in the communications which
follow:
