You cannot be insured in it unless you
are a member of the grange in good

ship you lose your insurance. You ap-
ply for insurance. An officer Of the
company surveys your property-that
is. estimates its value. If your build

surance. For this you give a note for
$50. paying down a per cent assess

are made annually as they may be
needed to meet the losses. Some years
assessments are not required. At the
end of five years you get back your
note. You save on your $50 what you
have not paid in assessments. This Is
called premium note and Is the basis
of the companys resources. After the
losses occur the assessments are lev
led. If the losses are unusual money
is borrowed to tide over the emergen-
cy. Never is there any large amount
of cash on hand. and even if those who
handle it were disposed to be dishonest
they would not have the opportunity to
get hold of enough to make dishonesty
worth while. But there are better rea-

Autumn Leaves.

How beautiful the woods appear
In yellow red and green;
Oh what pure and gladstone cheer
Is felt amid the scene.
Nature is not disturbed by art
But dwells serene and calm,
She speaks unto the wounded heart,
Conveys to it balm.
She points to that great mind on high
That spake her into birth,
And spreads the vast ethereal sky
Ger all the scenes of earth.
She shows by her example bright,
Her sweet harmonious course,
How we should strive to learn Alright
The teaching of his voice
Lord help us initiate her ways,
And keep ourselves as pure,
And send up fervent songs of praise,
To him who shall endure.

Vast Numbers Of Sheep Killed b,
Dogs.

Dogs.
In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears an interesting discus
sion of the sheep business, in which it
is shown that thousands of farmers keep
no sheep at all because of the fact that
dogs kill the sheep. Following is an
extract on the subject:
"Let me give you a concrete exam
pie which is very fresh in my mind.
A flock of twenty-three sheep were
grazed in hill pasture not far from
dwelling. Of these, two sheep and two
lambs belonged to farmer who had no
others, and these four had been petted
and made much of by his whole family.
Like most pet sheep, they did lots of
mischief to lawn and shrubbery, and so
were turned, with another mans flock,
into the pasture. They had been out
about two weeks when word came that
dogs had been among the sheep.
with one of the town officers, the
sheep-owners visited the pasture. Out
of the flock only six were unframed.
Seventeen sheep and lambs were dead
or dying. OF the four, two were found
dead. One lay twenty-four hours be-
fore it was found and put out of its
misery, and one of the lambs that had
frisked about the home all the spring
lay two days before it was found and
despatched Another lamb had an eye
gouged out and lying on his cheek. and
other wounds, but was creeping about
Others had their faces stove in. The
sheepowners looked. when they came
in, as if they themselves had a fit of
sickness, so deeply did the hideous sight
affect them, while about what their
women and children did the least said
the better.
THE owner of the four had planned
to have pure-bred flock of considerable
size, but he says now he will keep no
more sheep. The other owner has suf-
| fered before and will probably abandon
the business. There were at least three
dogs implicated. One dog-owner killed
his dog without murmur. One resist
ed as long as he could and now curses
everybody connected with the affair,
because his dog was finally killed. The
other manufactured an alibi to protect
the worst one of the lot, bulldog.
eve are supposedly not allowed to dc
or to keep that which is an injury to
our neighbor, but the country is full of
such worthless ours. Wild game is
much better protected by law than are
sheep.
"Until something is done, there will
be few sheep raised by the genera
farmer, and it's pity it is so. /"

The Youths Companion appeals to
every interest of family life, from
housekeeping to athletics. 1t begins

The name of William Rugh has been
added to the list of immortals. Until
a few weeks ago, he was just a news
boy in the steel corporation city of
Gary, Indiana. Dating from his death,
last week, his name will go down the
ages. Why? Because of his making
the limit of sacrifice-the giving of his
life. William Rugh was a cripple;
that is, he had a crooked, withered leg.
A girl in Gary was seriously burned
some time ago and skin grating was
necessary to her recovery. William
Rugh offered the skin Of his useless leg
for the purpose. 1t was accepted.
Skilled surgeons amputated his leg and
the skin upon it was successfully trans
planted. With the girl on the high road
to recovery, William Rugh dies In the
hour of his funeral, the great steel
corporation suspends its every furnace
in Gary and stops the turning of its
every wheel. The whole city follows
upon the crippled newsboy's bier. A
monument will memorabilia the little
hero and worthy inscription will tell
the story of his sacrifice as long as
stone and bronze may endure. Rutland

GRANGE FLOATS AT FAIRS.
Some Suggestions For Those Who

Some Suggestions For Those Who
Have Charge of Entertainments.
There is no more attractive and en-
tertaining feature for the county fair
than q series of floats we'll conceived
and well constructed. AS a sugges-
ton to those who may prepare grange
floats for the fall fairs we reproduce a
description of two or three that APP
peared in the Morris On. " fair last
year
The Butternut Valley grange float
was drawn by four white horses and
carried eleven persons dressed in white.
1t represented up to date dairying, the
value Of the parcels post and the elimi-
nation of the middleman. In front was
silo; then in order and in operation
were a Babcock tester, separator,
modern churn and butter worker,
from which the pound prints were de-
livered to the consumers table (where
the family sat at dinner) through the
intermediary of the parcels post. Thus
was emphasized the slogan Of the
grange, Parcels post and direct from
producer to consumer"
The West Laurens grange float car
ried an immense pyramid whose sides
were loaded with farm products of
every kind. making a most attractive
exhibit. 1t was drawn by four big
gray draft horses.
The Edmeston grange float carried a
modern up to date farm home-a house
with the sides taken off so one could
| see the farmer and his family in their
pleasant sitting room enjoying the ben
efits of the telephone, electric lights,
latest literature and modern heating
conveniences. 1t made aboriginal and
telling picture.
The New Lisbon grange float was
little the daintlest one in the line.
Four young women dressed in white
and wearing each a wreath for a
crown stood at the corners of beau
tifully trimmed frame the full size of
the float and about six feet high, in
side of which hung mammoth golden
Horn of Plenty" pouring out its
wealth Of vegetables, grains and
fruits. The young women represented
Pomona. Ceres, Flora and the Flower
Girl.
1t is safe to say that nothing ever
attracted the interest Of so many peo-
pie at the Morris fair as did these
floats. They circled the track twice
on two days of the fair and were
greeted with continued round of APP
plause. Many times was heard the re-
mark, This is certainly the best thing
we ever had at our fair"
No doubt another series of subjects
will be "foated" this fall at the Morris
fair 1t is worthy of imitation by
others.

Vermont has rousing big apple crop
this year, and the fruit is of superior
quality-a happy combination. In the
size of the crop the country at large
shares our good fortune. Experts es-
innate that there will be fifty million
barrels for commercial purposes. 1t
will take eighteen thousand carloads of
a hundred and sixty barrels to the car
to carry the crop from the apple raising
region of the northwest to market, and
it is believed at the present rate of in
crease in 1915 the crop will require fifty
thousand carloads. 1t may be added
that the peach crop is so large already
that hundreds of thousands uf bushels
are rotting on the ground in California,
and even the factories for drying the
fruit are so overstocked that they are
only offering a small amount for hand
picked peaches, not sufficient to pay
for the labor. In the south they
are cutting down their peach trees, and
planting fields of cotton. In California
they are cutting down their prune
orchards because prunes only command
an eighth of cent per pound, which
does not pay for the picking. Burling-

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One

fails to cure. Send for list of testi-

More than fifty years ago one of the
old school chancellors of New Jersey,
gave this bit of advice to boy en-
ployed in his office: "Do the best you
can to get on, my lad, and plan all the
time to do better" says a contributor
to the Christian Herald. Not long ago
met that "small boy" and in the
course of the conversation, as we were
walking up a mountain road in the
Swiss Alps, he told me how he had
never forgotten that piece of advice,
NOR the big earnest way in which the
old chancellor said it." That same
small boy is one of the greatest and
most loved American statesmen today.
