facture only the very best OF monu-
ments using high grade materials and
employing none but skilled workmen

personally inspects eacn monument. as
1t passes through the various stages
Of change from the rough block Of
stone to the artistic, completed monu-
n1ent ready for erection, They employ
several travelling men as we'll as a
number of expert workmen in their
yards IN it is an industry which de-
serves the support of the people of
North Dakota not alone because of the
quality OF their work, but because they

The. change in the market may have
been due to some extent to a revision OF

er factor was the extension of the short

that yesterdays rise was too rapid The

STATE GRANGE AT PORTLAND.
Continued from Page one.)

The commerce of the nation begins at
the farm and the people as a whole,
not the farmer alone, are vitality con-
cerned in transporting the produce
from the farm to the consumer at the
least possible cost"
1T is a safe prediction that a proper
and adequate protection of insect de-
stroying birds will spell the difference
between success and failure in agricuitur=
al activities in this country" said the
State master.
Reports of officers showed a total mem
hership of 57,764, or nearly member fer
each of the 5000 farms in the State.
There are 449 Oranges, OF which the
Grange at Houlton is the largest with
1ess members over 25.0oo have taken the
Pomona or fifth degree. The total finan-
ciai resources of the organization IN
Maine are sl2077 and the balance in the
treasury is 1854.
The annual address of the State master
was the feature of the afternoon session.
and a report was given by State Lecturer
b. Walker McKeen of Fryeburs Among
the resolutions adopted was one asking
that the date of the State election be
changed SO that it shall not take place
the same year as the national election.
Arpther resolution favored the owner
ship and development of the water pow
ers of the State for the benefit of the
people In the State. The Grange adopted
a resolution urging a more adequate
knowledge of live stock breeding. In the
evening an address on equal suffrage was
given by a representative of the cause
from New Hampshire and a resolution
favoring votes for women in Maine will
be introduced at one of the business SEES
sions. 1t is expected that there will be a
lively discussion. Last year the PROPOSE
ton to endorse equal suffrage was de-
feated

L Legislation.

If the Grange is to be a more potent
force in State and National legisla-
ton, it is especially important that
the members keep in touch with and
have fun information upon such legis-
latiye undertakings as are inaugur-
ated year by year. Very many of
these matters pertain to and directly
affect agriculture and the things per-
tanning to its development. ! would
recommend that each Grange appoint
committee whose work it shall be to
keep Informed upon legislative pro-
cedure both in State and Nation, and
to bring these probe ms before the
Grange. for discussion. Such a course
will not only increase the knowledge
OF the members pertaining to pending
legislation, hut will materially in
crease the effectiveness and influence
of the Grange i'm behalf of wise pro-
gressive legislation
1t occurs to me that there is
growing need for greater individual
attention to legislation affecting agrl-
culture and the matters pertaining
thereto 1t is especially important
that an intelligent study be made by

areas and in developing of water pow
er sites in the interests of all the peo-
pie, and the Grange should exert its
influence in favor of conserving and
developing these resources.
Most commendable efforts are being
made by the national government to
prevent waste and destruction. These
agencies should receive our unstinted
approval and support. In our own
State much may be done to protect
and increase the growth of timber and
to retain control Of and utilize our
water powers. The development of the
State depends largely upon reducing
the cost of transportation and the
bringing the producer and consumer
nearer together and at least possible
cost.
The important question for us to
consider is whether this development
shall be in the interest of all the peo-
pie. or whether the God given bounty
of vast water power shall be monopo-
lized by "the big interests" This is
the danger that now confronts us and
to save to the people of Maine the
benefits to be derived from Water
power development we must be awake
and ready to grasp the opportunity.
We should unite with all public spirit
ed citizens or combinations in a pro-
gressive movement which will spell
progress for Maine and will prevent
the putting of our State under perpe-
tual tribute

WILSON AND

South Dakota Has Lined Up

Sioux Falls, S. D., June with
the principal local interest in yester-
days primary election in South Da-
kota centered in the race for COVER
nor, precinct judges gave their first
attention to the count for that office
with the result that less than 300
out of the 1900 precincts had report
ed today on the presidential prefer
ence.
These returns, however, indicated
that former President Roosevelt will
have the whole of the South Dakota
delegation to the Chicago convention
and Governor Woodrow Wilson has a
good lead over Champ Clark for the
democratic delegation.
That Colonel Roosevelt will have a
plurality of several thousand is APP
parently assured. President Taft ap-
parently will be third in the republi-
can race, Senator LaFollette having
polled a substantial vote which in
some counties exceeded that of Roose-
welt.
