SOMERSET POMONA At
NQRR|DGEWOCK
Protests Against Grange FayOring any
Increase in Appropriations

The closing of heavy rain storm,
with roads in a most unfavorable con-
dition, confronted the patrons Of the
Pomona as the morning came for the
regular May session at Norridgewock.
A fairly good representation from the
surrounding subordinate oranges was
in attendance at the opening of the
morning session with the Master,
Overseer, Lecturer, Secretary, Ceres
and Flora present.
H. l.. Heald master of the Norridge-
wock grange gave fraternal well
come to the Pomona and G. II. Foster,
lecturer of the Pomona responded to
the welcome. The questions that
were introduced for discussion were
Should the Grange favor increased
appropriations for public utilities such
as roads, schools, protection of game,
forests etc, and is real Grange sue
cess dependent more upon membership
talent or material resources. Speak
ers on this topic in the order named
s. F. Emerson, E. H. Tobey. II. l..
Head, C. NJ Gallup, Elmer Nichols,
H. B. Ellis, G, II. Foster, L. l.. Allen,
Lizzie Holway, S. F. Emerson. Vesta
Withee, Rena Learned and c. S. Bates.
There were emphatic protests
against the Grange favoring any in
crease in appropriations for any
cause whatever. Taxes are already
too high. We need good roads and
are willing to pay for them but too
much money is wasted, thrown away
on inefficient help and mismanage-
ment. Every dollar taken from the
pockets of the taxpayers should be
carefully expended and made to count
for all it is worth whether in the
schools, on the highways of travel or
in any other way. We have too many
drawing pay and not rendering an
equivalent for the same.
One speaker said that there will be
no need of increased appropriations
for. public utilities for the next ten
years. What should be required and
demanded is equal taxation. economy
In expenditures and efficiency in all
departments of public work.
The second topic called out a diver
sity of opinion and a spirited debate.
Some went in for membership as the
most important factor in Grange sue
cess, others for talent and others
claimed that it required a combna-
ton of all the resources at hand to
ensure success.
There was splendid choir music,
selections in reading by Mrs. Chas.
Fuller and II, l.. Heald songs by G. A.
Wade and recitations by Lou Brown
and c. w. Green.
The Pomona contributed an ad-
ditional SIS towards rebuilding the
girls cottage at the Good Will home
and also made arrangements for the
annual Field Day. which will be at
Lakewood, August %.
Next meeting with Victor Grange,
Fairfield, Tuesday, June II.

Sir William Allan covered large canvas with a picture of the Battle of Waterloo. which the Duke of Yelling ton bought. His grace asked the pain ter to call at the horse guards on a certain day 10 receive payment Pune tually Sir William came. and the duke began to count out notes for the sum agreed upon.

best citizens, the church one Of its
pillars. He was constant attendant
in the Sabbath School and deeply in
terested in every department of it'll
work. We shall miss his pleasant
face and encouraging words in our
midst, especially in our midweek eve
ming meetings. But the. weight OF
the loss falls upon our sister, his
companion. and upon his three manly
sons and TO them we extend our deep
est sympathy and love. Resolved
That copy Of these resolutions be

votional spirit influence our future
lives to be daily lived here.
