An agricultural movement semi
political in nature, which was very
popular in the seventies but OF which
little has been heard for the past ten
years, seems to be again on the in
crease. The first State Grange
Society was organized in Minnesota
in 1869 by Fasteners who wished to
build up a social life in the lonely
farming communities to which they
came from the more thickly settled
regions of New England and New
York. Wherever a Grange Society
was formed Grange Hall was built
or, the country school houses made use
OF. The object of the societies was to
promote farming interests and we who
live in our populous modern cities do
not realize the part the Grange played
in the building-up.process, At tt G
Grange meetings widely separated
neigbbors came together in friendly
fashion to talk over the events of the
day and by song and debate and
readings lessened the tedium of their
monotonous lives. A towns grew uI
rapidly the movement died out to
some degree but the past year shows
an increased interest as farmers
realize that to make farm life fit tc
compete with city attractions the,
must provide more sociability to keer
the young people from being drawn tc
the cities and in many progressive
farming communities we find new
societies being organized. Topics fol-
discussion nowadays run along line:
of better roads, better schools, ant
higher standards of citizenship.

will be held in Columbus, Ohio, Nov
18th to 25th.

! The selection of Hon. Winston
Churchill as Secretary of the British
Navy is construed by the wise men as
a move on the part of the government
to reduce the naval expenses. The
United Kingdom is more dependent on
sea supremacy to maintain its far
flung empire than any other country.
No other country needs navy SO
much, for it is essential that cargo
ships come safely home if people are
to eat regulsrly, just as fleets are
essential to maintain communication
between and control of many scattered
colonies3
1t must be encouraging then to see
this greatest sea power. and the one
which needs sea power most, take
step toward naval retrenchment. If
Britain dare do that, other nations
might we'll follow her example, as
they have followed her past example
of constantly building more and big
ger ships. 1t is if the rumors are
based on facts, long stride toward
universal peace; toward the time when
intern ational disputes shall be
settled as they should be: in court
instead Of by high explosives and
rapid fire guns.
And the lesson of England should
certainly be taken home by this coun-
try, the nation which has least real
use for navy, although maintaining
a place as distant second in the
battleship building contest. Our deep
sea shipping is negligible quantity,
our colonies few and worse than
worthless, and our isolated position
among the powers makes our CONT
mental territory almost impregnable 10
foreign invasion, regardless of what
Hon, Hobson says about it. There.
fore our naval expenses should te re-
duced: there isn't the shadow of
doubt of that. Even if the navy is
maintained st its present standard, or
increased, that statement holds true,
for in our naval affairs millions are
wasted to please persistent congress-
men who want something in the way
of a navy yard for the home district,
and that should be cut out, along with
other fOOlishness.

u the grading OF the road past the
Pioneer Nursery and leading to our
cemeteries. Fortunately all our
cemeteries are located 80 close
together that any Improvement on the
leading thereto enures to the
benefit Of tho entire community and no
enc could or would have the temerity
to accuse the council Of showing
favoritism in this matter Of making the
cemeteries more accessible at all times
OF the year.
And there is no place on the out.
skirts OF our city that is frequented
more by the general public than the
city Of the dead. We have rather
wondered at the fact that all these
years nothing has been done to give
the people OF our city better road to
the cemeteries. The council Is entitled
to credit for the work that has just
been completed under their supervise
ion. But they should not stop there.
We would suggest that North State
be graded, graveled and boulevsrded
to the grounds Of the Brown County
Agricultural Society 18th North Street
to Jefferson Street and Street Jefferson
to the city cemetery. Sidewalks should
be laid and trees planted, SO that In
the course of q Few years our citizens
would have good walking to the
cemeteries at al times of the year and
in the most Indictment weather. All this
probably could not be accomplished in
one year but the plans for the entire
improvement could be perfected with
out much expense to the city at this
time. The necessary surveys could be
made and grades established and pos.
sibly the work on North State
Street could be accomplished next
year. The balance Of the work could
be attempted as soon as the conditions
we're ripe for it. Let the council take
the initial steps for this much desired
Improvement without further delay.
We do pot make any deman upon
the city council, but offer this simply
as suggestion.
