STILL ARE FIGHTING FOR A
DEPOT.

The Hewitt people have entered a
protest against the notice published
in Sundays Ardmoreite in which it
was stated that Hewitt people would
move to Wilson. Two telephone mes
saSes were received by the Ard

stoutly denied that Hewitt would
surrender its townsite and move to
Wilson. Our informants stated that
the corporation commission has not
passed on the matter of giving Hew-

the hearing at Hewitt has not been
transcribed, Commissioners Love and
Watson have not been made ac-

new attorneys have been employed
by Hewitt, and the fight will be
kept up. There are not mere than
four or five who will move from
Hewitt to Wilson said one man over

This is true probably because the
present revolution has touched indi.
viduals and homes more intimately
than any other conflict of recent times
in Mexico. Many women have left
their homes rather than remain alone,
and few Of them have gone under
fire to get revenge. In the siege now
in progress at Monterey, a valued
member of General Pablo Gonzales
command is Senori-
ia Maria Sanchez, said to be a wealthy
Castillian, whose brother was shot by
federal irregulars. She gave up the
comforts of a luxurious home and

TO CHANGE REPRESENTATION
Growing Demand for a Proportional
System-Issue Likely to Be Press
ed Throughout Country.
Conducted by Charles NJ. Gardner. Editor
of the National Grange. Westfield. Mass.

A growing demand throughout the
country is calling for proportional
representation in the National Grange,
and apparently this is one OF the prob
lens with which that body will have
to deal in the very near future. For
years the states of Maine, Michigan.
Pennsylvania, Washington and Oregon
have been pressing the claims of a
changed representation and this de-
mand was recently Joined In by the
state of New York, with its more than
100000 members. Now loyal Oranges
in Ohio are taking up the same cause
and are starting a widespread move
ment in that state. Should a majority
of Ohio Patrons come out In favor of
proportional representation, II would
so strengthen the latter issue that it
is likely to take on energetic form at
the coming National Grange session at
Spokane. Wash.
The present system of representa-
ton in the National Grange is based
on the same principle as the United
States senate-each Grange state has
TWO NOllHS uSulD6iS, llS SldlS HiuplOA
and wife, in the session of the Nation
al Grange. 1t making no difference
whether they come from a state OF l.
900 members or of 100000. The en-
tire voting strength of the National
Grange is therefore but 60 votes, in
which II would be possible, should
such a disposition ever appear. for the
16 smallest Grange states to form a
combination and completely outvote
the IA largest states, in which case
the minority might possibly represent
ten times the actual membership rep
resented by the majority. 1t has al
ways been this way since the National
Grange was organized and the leaders
of the order have always held that
such an arrangement was necessary
to preserve the stability of the Grange.
For years no objection to such ba-
sis was offered but Of late the social
ed "insurgent" contingent has been
pressing hard for proportional repre-
sentation, declaring that no other
method is just to the membership as
whole. The steady acquisition. to this
demand. of state after state indicates
a likelihood that ultimately there will
be some change in the present repre-
sentation system in the National
Grange.

The lawyer jumped up and addressed
the Judge: Your honor, / impeach

he was born in England and has
crossed the Atlantic 20 times. It
would be impossible for him to have
crossed the Atlantic that number Of
times and be on this side now. There
is perjury here, your honor. His Wis

even numbers, and yet he is here and

In South Dakota.

The past season in South Dakota
has been one of much Grange pros
perity. and new organization work
has progressed remarkably well. State
Master George X. Malone reports the
completion of nine new Oranges dur
ing the month of March, with the be-
ginning we'll started on several 9TH
ers. The extreme cold weather OF the
past winter seriously handicapped or
ganization work in the Sunshine State.
but good Roadway was nevertheless
accomplished. South Dakota is one
of the newest Grange states and the
present state master is George r.
Malone of Draper. Working closely
with the latter are State Secretary
George w. Dixon of Watertown and
Prof. Arthur A. Brigham of the state
university at Brookings the latter a
former master of the State Grange OF
Massachusetts,.
AS a result of the progress in
South Dakota, a movement Is now on
foot looking towards the extension OF
the Grange into North Dakota, and
present indications are that this, will
be accomplished the coming fall. Ma
tional Master oliver Wilson Of Peoria,
ILL.,, has recently made careful in
vestigation of North Dakota condi-
tons and believes that the time is ripe
to undertake the organization of that
state. Montana is already being or
ganized, 80 that the probabilities are
that these two new state Oranges will
claim representation at the next sit
ting of the National Grange, in Spo-
kane, Wash, next November. The
greatest need in this work Is to Sc
cure courageous and capable organic
ers, as the task is an arduous one and
requires no end of perseverance and
patience. Apparently, however. the
Grange will get strong following In
both North Dakota and Montana.
