NATIONAL GRANGE AS 1T is
Recent Editorial In the National
Grange Monthly Tells the Whole
Story Concisely.

No reader of current affairs, who
learns something Of the work of the
grange and therefore becomes inter
ested to know exactly what the
grange is and what 1t is for, can fail
to be impressed with a recent edi-
torial in the National Grange Month
ly, which tells the whole story SO con-
cisely that it well worth remember
ing. Here is the summary of "the
grange as 1t Isl"
Between now and New Years
thousands of new members will join
the grange in many states and a
great number of new oranges will
come into existence as part of the
great nationwide organization. To
considerable degree will the future OF
the order depend upon the extent to
which these new oranges and, these
new members come in with a right
conception of grange purposes and
with a thorough understanding OF
what grange membership involves.
A full understanding of the funda-
mentals of the organization Is vital
need.
1T not infrequently happens that a
grange organized under seemingly
promising conditions proves failure
because its energies are not eXerted
towards genuine grange ends: The
members misunderstood what a
grange is for; people come into
grange only to speedily withdrawal
was not what they expected it to be,
because they were not correctly in
formed what constitutes a grange. All
this would have been different if II
had been made perfectly clear before
hand what grange is and what it is
for leaving those who were not in
terested in such ideals to keep out in
the first place, rather than drop out
later, disappointed and dissatisfied.
Let it then be always understood,
both when new oranges are organized
and when new members are received.
that grange is not playhouse, not
a dance hall, not place for continu-
Gus feasting Of the social graces; that
it is not place where people get
much and give nothing; that it is not
merely get-together institution with
no other purpose than simply the
satisfaction of being together.
ION the contrary may it be always
clearly understood that the grange,
IL 1t is what it Is created to be, Is
distinctly a community institution
dedicated to the encouragement OF
agriculture, to the advancement OF
education and to the uplift Of rural
life; and that the three essential ele
ments of that rural life, the farm, the
farm family and the farm home, are
all to find in the local Grange their
true exponent, defender and inspira-
ton. That every grange meeting
large or small, shall put emphasis
upon these fundamentals Of the
order, is absolutely vital to continued
grange value and influence.
$50 then for thorough understand
ing Of these facts--wherever new
grange is organized, whenever new
member Is initiated. Be absolutely
frank about 1t, deceive no one. explain
thoroughly--then receive gladly all
who indorse these ideals and who are
willing to work towards their accom-
plishment Then we shall have, al
ways and everywhere, the grange as
it is-and 1t will be a success"

The proper disinfecting of school

threatened with contagious disease

burning Of sulphur and Tornado

Some Of the widely advertised dis

Full information on the subject
may be had from the state superin-

every teacher and school official
should avail himself of the oppor-

CARE OF FERNS.

Plant crowns of ferns must be kept well above the soil and never pushed beneath it. else they will be apt to rot away. Give ferns northern light in preference to a southern exposure.
 In the middle of winter the night temperature for ferns should be about 65 degrees, rising to not over 70, un- til the seasons change
 Keep the soil of ferns always damp, but do not let it get sodden. Very wet soil soon becomes sour. Keep the foliage dry, letting the plant drink through the roots Water for ferns should not be cold. Do not put tend CT ferns outside in the rain; if you do their fronds will be beaten down.
 Maidenhair fern requires more care than all other ferns. Give it plenty of moisture and abundant watering, for once it's soil becomes dry the fronds shrive1 up quickly. Sterilized leaf mould makes excellent pot ting soil The maidenhair fern will thrive best in fern cases. You need not hope to succeed with maidenhair ferns indoors if the room is lighted by gas.

THE HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
 SHIP

Connecticut faces a sad and narrow situation concerning the highway com- rnissioneEsllip. It is a situation which has been created by Governor Bald win in his determination to remove from office James H. Macdonald, who has so conScentAeusly and ef1ciently served the slate of Connecticut in that capacity Iahe crisis in this prob lem is pending. 1t will undoubtedly be reached this week. The political whip has been madts to crack and it now remains to be seen whether the democratic senatorsare slaves eor men representing their constituents efor the best interests of the, state.
 Governor Baldwin gtenaciously holds to his nominee, w. HI Caldwell of New Britain. and tenants confia>mat tion. Two years ago he secured the state in his effort to secure a man for the place and being advised, not by the business men but by some office as- pirants that Mir. Caldwell was the man for the place, named him against the advice of senators and friends who knew to the contrary Investigations have shown that MT. CadwellEs record for the conduct Of the sewer depart ment of New Britain does not qual- ify him for the much greater task of directing the highway commissioner office of the state, The attitude or a large number of the democratic sen ators is in opposition to MT Caldwell. As a means of strengthening a weak candidate the governor has brought charges against the highway commis- sioner but his work. his conduct of the office for the best interest of the state, his service to all sections and absolute non-political use of the com missionership are thoroughly known. He has the advantage of years of ser vice against -unproVen eleventh hour charges.
 With the leaders and a strong back ing in the senate among the democrats opposed to the governor in his narrow view of the situation it becomes his duty in justice to the situation to with draw his nomination. It is an insult stand by MT Caldwell, whose compet- ency is attacked, and if MT. Caldwell is insisted upon the senators should assert their manhood and refuse to confirm him.
 There is a strong sentiment in be- half of the plan for 8 commission of five to handle the improved highway problem. This is a success in Rhode Island with five and in Massachusetts with three. If Connecticut is not go-' ing to return MT. Macdonald to the office it should give this plan a thor ough consideration. Competency must be had in the office and the senate is lax if it does not demand it.

CLEANING CURTAINS,

Many housewives own curtains of Arabian lace. They realize that a great amount of their beauty is lost after washing. The lovely ecru tint has disappeared, and to recolor them is not always satisfactory.
 Those curtains can be dry cleaned in the following manner:
 Spread a sheet or two upon the floor and lay the curtains carefully on them.
 Mix two parts of boiled cornmeal with one of salt.
 With a clean brush rub this mix ture thorouGhly through the curtains. Hang out of doors for a couple of houls and the curtains will be sweet and clean
 quently cleaned. If the dust is not allowed to settle in them for any length of time, they will wear much longer

GOVERNOR. puNNE,s< POSITION.


 Governor Dunne of Illinois jumped into prominence a few weeks ago when he refused to order his dinner in a restaurant which Charged 35 cents for a cup of coffee He has continued to manifest his Irenpunced policy in that regard by taking a similar attitude tor wards the custom which has contin- ually gEown. of submitting to the whfsk> >>breem of the attendant at res tau1e6nt, hote1 or parlor ear. This he believes should be considered an at Sault and he Fis bound to get an en- thusiastic backing from a long suf- fering public in this direction.
 It requires some such determined stand in that regard te relieve the public fcaLp the undue amount of im- paslaoh which accompanies the per Szstent efforts of the brushers for the handout. It requires more than the ordinary disposition to successfully re- sist the onslaught of the porter. or to accept the attention without respond : ing with tho expected tip.e It is this creation of business for which there is little or no demand which the gov ernor opposes. He has made himself eligible for membership in society for the prevention of useless giving and has set a most needed example of bringing down some features of the high cost of living in common sense sort of way. It is submission to such extortion which is the greatest reason for it's existence.

PANlcs IN HALLS AND THEATERs

Even after the precautions required by law are taken by proprietors of theaters and entertainment halls, there remains a danger from such places. s was demonstrated in the New York moving picture house where two deaths and many injuries resulted when a small blaze occurred, followed by the cry of fire" The fire was in significant and had the alarmist with held his cry and the aud fence remained quiet no harm would have resulted. Panics wherein the need of leaving the playhouse is often started by just such a terrifying cry in the dark, cause people to lose their heads and judgment and plunge headlong over cath other in Q wild scramble to get out. Ordinarily it takes but short time to empty a theater. and under taken in an orderly manner patrons could get to. places of safety without injury
 It is impossible to quiet frenzied crowd on such an occasion and too much care cannot be taken in caus ing such state of affairs It is the cool headed person, and not the one who can give the verbal alarm quick est who can serve best in averting a disaster by preventing a stampede. The law requires certain protective meas ures from the proprietors which must be complied with, but it is impossible to regulate by law an excitable crowd or the alarmist.. A common sense view of the situation and an orderly retire ment will save many lives and limbs.

RockEFELLER's POSITION.

f When the Pujo committee, detailed to interview William Rockefeller, wis ited the sick man and found to their own satisfaction that his condition was as had been represented, it ended a question which for months had been before the public in a manner which had an unfortunate bearing on the situation in which the money trust in yestigation committee found itself. In blaming both sides The Springfield Republican holds that MT. Rockefeller erred in eoncealing his whereabouts for many months and instructing all his agents to protect him from the process servers endeayoring to sum mon him as a witness. Such course was absolutely unnecessary. More frankness would have resulted in the complete establishment of his physical inability to testify and the Pujo com mittee would have excused him. But the suspicious of the majority of that committee were so much aroused that finally they would be satisfied with nothing short of an actual examination of MT. Rockefeller by counsel It was at this point that the committee erred. It should have accepted as convincing the statement of the medical expert employed in it's behalf that MT. Rocke- fe1ler's condition was serious and that he might not be able to withstand the strain of cross examination,
