point on the horizon. Often accompa.

rejoice at the early end of the long
winter night only to be disappointed

nation of the phenomenon is given by
physicists as refraction and reflection

to pay a tax when he took wife and
another tax every time he qualified as
a father. Thus dukes nuptials cost
him ESQ As, his heir $50 2s.. and for
each later male addition to his family
his joy was discounted by payment

interesting Grange Notes.

Cabbosseecontee Is the euphonic
name Of Maine grange.
Every township in New Hampshire
has a grange. 10000 grangers in all.
There are III oranges in Kansas, and
the farmers cooperative business last
wear amounted to $2,O00,000.
Sunderland grange. Massachusetts.
won $40 in corn prizes at the New
England corn exposition and $40
worth of farm implements.
Hardwich grange of Massachusetts,
won the first prize OF $50 at the New
England Corn exposition for the best
eighty ear exhibit of flint corn.
Massachusetts Patrons are certainly
neighborly. Statistics show that $4,000
persons exchanged visits on neigh
bors night in that state last year.
The national grange appropriated
5000 for Mrs. o. III. Kelly, wife of the
founder of the Order. She Is suffering
from an accident and Is in an en-
feebled condition.
Two new oranges were recently or
panized az Cathlamet and Skamokawa,
Wahkiakum county. Wash. A pro-
nouncing dictionary would not come
amiss for "tenderfoot" in those parts.
Two important truths stated: THE
grange cannot be simply a social club
or literary society. 1t must get into
yirile sympathy with the real produc-
ing farmers" 1.-THE grange must work
out the great principles of cooperation
and present It to the farmers in work

Action Taken by Various State ORANGES
on Important Questions.
A resolution was presented at the
connecticut state grange meeting last
month making the executive commit.
tee OF each state grange delegates
with the master and his wife, we pre-
sumo, TO the national grange. Later
on In the proceedings we observe that
the resolution was withdraw" There
might be some merit to the question
Tor all that. The negotiable and per
maps insurmountable objection of Tex.
pense" would be the first to arise. no
doubt. But we would get representa-.
tion better in some respects than now
though without increase In votes in the
state.
The national grange resolution pro-
vlding Tor open nomination of officers,
state grange approving, is having hard
wheeling. Nearly every state grange
that has discussed the question has
turned 1t down hard. Difficult matter
to get some reforms started, isn't it?
Inc Maine state grange "sat down"
on the practice Of paying per diem and
expenses from the state grange treas
ury to persons who install Pomona
and subordinate grange officers and
will save thereby $1,000 for additional
use In deputy work. Well done!
We notice that one Of the Pomona
oranges In New York state is going to
ask the state grange to provide for a
school Of instruction in that county
where the unwritten work of the order
may be exemplified each year for the
benefit Of subordinate grange masters.
There's good idea! If the esoteric
work is worth giving at all it is worth
giving correctly, but now it-well the
less said the better
Pennsylvania believes in giving all
the subordinate oranges representa-
ton at the state grange meeting. The
master and his wife from each sub
ordinate gra nge constitute the voting
delegates, and this year there were
nearly 700 Of these, even with many
delegates not present and number Of
oranges not represented. The state
grange pays the railroad fare Of these
delegates, and the subordinate grange
is expected to pay the hotel bill. The
Pennsylvanians believe that the re-
suits justify the cost. But New York
$50 oranges, 1.50O delegates Whew!
We notice also that the Pennsyl
vania grange adopted a resolution for
proportional representation in the na.
tional grange on the basis of one nd
'ditional vote (hot delegate) for each
1000 members above the first 1000
We fail to see wherein there would be
any gain to proportional representation
after this method. The increased vot.
ing power would be vested In the pres
,ent delegates. Suppose a question
came up-as, for instance. any Of the
several questions at the last meeting
of the national grange which provoked
heated discussion. Is there any doubt
but that any master would have voted
his full strength Of ten votes if he had
them just as he voted for himself at
that time? Where's the gain ?-Ameri-

headquarters were opened In Boston,
and the exchange began Its fight to

purchase the supplies needed. While
no startling results have been appar-

growth and sold for its members some
thing like $4,000 worth Of potatoes.
