not holding regular meetings, but the
others were reported as doing good work
and increasing in membership.
The usual business routine was carried
out and resolution was read to change
the bylaws of this grange. so that the
regular meeting be held on the second
Wednesday instead of the first in the
month. This was accepted as read. 1t

There were twenty applications for
membership, for initiation and IL by
demit. These candidates were duly
balloted for and elected and the degree
of Pomona was conferred in full form.
A recess was then declared, during
which bountitul dinner was served by
the members of the host grange. After
a social hour the grange was re-as-
sembled in the fifth degree and D. M.
Kimball extended cordial greeting to
the visiting patrons. Fred Brown of
jackson grange responded in behalf of
Pomona. The lecturer presented a
pleasing literary program, consisting of
a recitation by Gertrude Conant, song
by Mildred Braley, a violin solo by Harry
Putnam, defamation by C. c. Clements,
and song by Nettie Billings. The fol-
lowing question was ably opened by E. N.
Bartlett: ''In the care of orchards,
which is most important, fertilization,
tillage, pruning or spraying?" and was
discussed by O. B. Dow, j. G. Trask,
G. H. York, D. M. Kimball, C. C..
Clements, N. A. Cilley and others. The
question was closed and the grange
voted to extend rising vote of thanks
to Morning Light grange for hospitali-
ties.
The minutes were read and adopted
and the usual closing ceremonies con-
cluded one of the pleasantest meetings
of the year.
The next meeting will be with Harvest
Home Grange, Brooks, Jan. 8, 1912,
with an address of welcome by w. S.
Jones and response by C. C. Clements.
This is the annual meeting, and the cleo
ton and installation of officers will be in
the order of business. Literary pro-
gram by host grange. C.D.Y.

continued will only lead to regretable

These notices, it is stated, are requests,
not mandates, and may be followed Or
disregarded by licensees as they see fit.
The attempt to regulate the traffic is
commendable, but it's value depends upon
the measure of success attending it. We
have been told, and statistics have been
given to sustain the assertion, that there
is as much violation of law under license
as under prohibition. Here is recent
press dispatch on conditions in New York
city:

HEN KEPT FIRE ENGINE SILENT
That Is the Charge Against Mount
Pleasant, S. c., Firemen.

A good story is told at the expense
of the one-engine fire department of
Mount Pleasant, village across the
bay from Charleston. The other
day an alarm of fire startled the
villagers, their men folks working in
Charleston being concerned by the
flames that were visible along the
water front 1t turned out that it
was merely a trash pile, but the tale
is not thereby destroyed, although
the fire chief sWears complete inno-
cence
The charge is that the engine could
not respond to the alarm because a
hen was setting in the machinery and
to disturb her would have meant the
spelling of eggs from a noble strain
of fowls. 1t is related that excited
villagers tried to persuade the fire
men to roll the engine out, but that
the officials calmly informed them
that the hen was of more Importance
There is much amusement at the ex-
pense of the people of Hungry
Neck" as Mount Pleasant is officially
designated, and the villagers do not
appreciate the humOr of the thing
nearly SO much as those who are
farther from the cause. 1t is said
that the hen will hatch in a day or
so, still occupying her nest in the
engine under protection of the chief
fireman.

A BATTLE BETWEEN HOPE AND DESPAIR

same emotions as the noise of the
drill reached his ears and died out
again. In the long dark hours of
physical priyation despair and hope
alternately were battling in his
heart.
But at noon Tuesday the ''thump,"
'thump," thump" of the drill came
to him again. 1t sounded nearer,
clearer than ever before. There was
a note of triumph in it's sound. 1t
stopped An eternity of silence pass
ed and then down the long five-inth
hole a man shouted: Hello, there,
hello" Clary heard the greeting,
and family shouted, for his strength
was waning: Hello"
The voice from the tomb was
heard
To pass down food and drink to
the imprisoned miner was the work
of only a few minutes. Clary, thus
refreshed, told his rescuers that to
reach the hole he had to pass through
water to his armpits and that the
water was rising. Immediately the
pumps in various neighboring mines
were started to keep down the water
level in the White Oak and that he
might not be overcome a rope was
sent down the tube, which he at
tached to his waist, so that he might
be drawn out Of the water should the
danger prove too great.
Buoyant with the certainty of a
speedy rescue Clary, who a little
time before was in the depths Of de-
spair, jOked with his rescuers and
asked his sister, with whom he con-
yersed, to send him down chicken
supper,
Thus are hope and despair, light
and shade, the grave and the gay,
woven into the web of human life.

DINNER TO A DOG.

Others at the table being Misses Mar

admiration. "

PEANUTS INSTEAD OF COTTON.
Thousands of Acres Planted in the
Boil WeeViI District.

Certain sections of the South have
found it practically impossible, ow-
ing to the ravages of the boil Wee
vii, to raise cotton for the past few
years. A Mississippi man, writing
to the Manufacturers Record, says
Il at his county will have produced
this year just coming to close
possibly $500 bales of cotton, COM
pared with 25,S89 three years ago.
Last year" writes the correspond
ent, 81 took it upon myself to inves-
tigate the raising of peanuts as a
substitute for cotton. My associates
and myself began a public advocacy
of the peanut, and we succeeded in
having about $500 acres of them
planted in this section last year. The
results were so good that l was called
upon to go to many points in the
boil weevil districts to tell them
about the peanut.
THE result of these visits is that
it is variously estimated that there
will be anywhere from 100000 to
100000 acres planted in the white
Spanish peanut in this state alone
the coming season. And Louisiana,
which last year had something like
10000 acres under the crop, will in
crease her acreage the coming season
to fully 100, 900 acres.
THAT the peanut is money crop
is no longer a doubt and it will al
ways be a fixture on the farms in this
state and Louisiana. 1t is found that
the hay made from the peanut vines
is more nutritious than timothy and
also that the hay will more than pay
all expenses incurred in making the
crop.
1T has been proved through my
own experiments that the oil from
the peanut is of very much higher
grade than cotton oil and hence it
is not at all a question of finding a
market for the oil, but to get a sufTi-
cient supply of the raw material from
which to make the oil. The market
is ready and waiting"

HOW CLARY. THE MISSOURI MIN
Err, WAS RESCUED FROM HIS
LIVING TOMB.
rs FEET UNDER THE GROUND

Several Days Imprisoned in the Bow
els of the Earth, With Water Ris.
ing Around Him and Confronting
Starvation, Gloom Was Dense and
Awful. Thrilling Experience.
Buried beneath rs feet of rock and
earth, without food, without drink,
unable to sleep and surrounded by
constantly rising water, Joseph Clary,
miner of Joplin. Mo, spent 90
hours of dread uncertainty, almost
as acute as despair, waiting for the
first message which might announce
to him from his friends on the sur
face that relief was near and that
the gate Of his prison would soon be
opened. This message finally reach
ed him after tireIess workers had
drilled hole after hole through the
envelope that covered him until at
length a small opening was made in
to the chamber where he was held
a prisoner; but it was not until an
other day had passed that the debris
in the shaft was removed and Clary
was rescued from what almost prov
ed to be his tomb.
1t was on Sunday morning of last
week that Clary. who was employed
in the White Oak lead and zinc
mine was caught in a cavern, which
filled the shaft, and sealed him in a
Apif OF
below. Efforts to release him were
at once begun, and while men in
short shifts worked INCREASINGLY to
clear the shaft and line it with tim
bers to guard against another CaVe-in
Others began drilling a five-inch hole
through the debris so that cOmmuni-
cation could be established between
the surface and the prison chamber.
The first three holes, driven by men
who worked madly in Commute
shifts, missed the chamber so far as
opening up communication was con-
cerned; but the fourth hole pierced
it, and faint hello" from the i'm
prisoned miner brought to the res
cuers the first flash of hope.
While those on the surface were
alternating between hope and despair
during the long work of rescue what
of the miner shut up in his living
tomb? That his friends would try
to rescue him he knew well, but that
they would succeed he could only
hope. AS the long hours passed in
the dampness and gloom Of his pris-
on without any sign from the out
side world, his buoyancy began to
fade About him the water was ris-
ing--Slowly but constantly rising
confronting him with an alternative
possibility, death by drowning. He
was already face to face with death
by starvation. And then came to his
ear a steady 'thump," "thump,"
'thump noise of the drill at
work after it had passed through the
soft earth and began cutting into the
rocks. He knew he would be res
cued.
After time the noise of the drill
ceased and again all was silence. It
was when the drill was withdrawn
after having failed to pierce his
chamber. 1t was Immediately reset
IN fresh spot and the work of Dor
ing resumed. But Clary could not
near it; he had no means of knowing
that the resCuers had not abandoned
nope, and despair began to whisper
into his ears. Now he believed that
he would be abandoned to his fate
Twice again he went through the
