This is time of great events and you
will want the news accurately and
promptly. The Democrats, for the
first time in sixteen years, will have the
Presidency and they will also control
both branches of Congress. The politi.

sorbing interest.
There is great war in the Old World,
and you may read of the extinction of
the vast Turkish Empire in Europe, just
as few years ago you read how Spain
lost her last foot of soil in America, after
having ruled the empire of half the
New World.
The World long since established a

THE GRANGE

Editor Of the Neto York State Grange
RcvtetD
A FIELD FOR
GRANGE ENDEAV0n.
The Waste Land Along Railway Tracks
Should Be Made Profitable Where
Possible-Can the Grange Help7

Secretary A. P. Sandles, the live wire
secretary Of the Ohio state board OF
agriculture, said recently: ''Who can
guess the number of acres of waste
land along the right Of way Of rail-
way lines in the United States? This
land properly cultivated would produce
enough food to feed a nation like Ger
many. This land ought to be culh-
vated."
Besides the large area Of produc-
tiveness which the cultivation Of the
tillable land along the many railways
of the country would make possible
for the increasing of our food sup
ply, there would be the additional very
important advantage Of Transforming
present unattractive sights along the
railways into pleasing pictures, and
thus pleasure would be added to profit.
While it may be said that farmers
should first look around their own
premises with a view to making their
waste acres productive land they
would find many of them), this is a
matter for the individual farmer to
consider. But, with reference to the
railways, how would it be for our state
oranges at their annual sessions to
take up this matter seriously with the
railroads? We believe they would find
the railway people quite ready to CO.
operate with them in the work Of con-
vertlng the waste land along the
tracks into profitable and more beauti-
full acres. Should the grange get be-
hind this proposition. with some work
able plan to suggest, something might
come out Of the discussion and agita-
ton Of the question, now wholly I'M
thought Of. We fully realize that there
are long stretches of these railroad
lands that never could be made pro-
ductive, but there are miles and miles
that could be. Who should do this
cultivation and get the proceeds is a
matter which the railroads would de-
termine, but 1t is quite evident that
they will determine nothing until some
one, rather some important and in
fluential body like the grange, brings
the matter to their attention and stays
with them until something is accom-
pliSbed

Holds Off "A Burglar.
How An Indiana Woman Was Able To
Stand the Severe Strain.

Mrs. johanna Foegely, Of South Bend,
Ind, recently passed through most thrill
ling experience, which would be a severe
strain upon any person and especially 30
for woman of 70 years of age. An 1ndi-
ana paper contains long and interesting
account of it, saying that the burglar would
soon have ransacked the house had it no,
been for the GOODNESS and presence of mind
of Mrs. Foegely, who cleverly diverted his
attention, even while the burglar kept a
, revolver at her head, commanding her to
>"keep quiet or will send bullet through
you," until he feared to remain longer.
This is the Mrs. Foegely who was perma-
nently relieved of dangerous Kidney and
Bladder disease in 1900, by the prompt use
of DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
and because she possessed this good health
and strength she was able to withstand the
shock of her recent experience Here is the
FIRST statement Mrs. Foegely gave, in 1900
"For over three years suffered from the mos

TURKEYS All SHOWS.

1t is often wondered why more tur-
Keys are not seen at exhibitions, but
here are reasons.
Turkeys are range birds. and the
close confinement ut shows is very
hard on them
In many cases they refuse to eat and
they are so difficult to cage and han
die that many shows offer no prizes
and refuse to receive them.
Beside most turkey raisers refuse
to raise turkeys to comply with show
requirements. especially in regard to
feather markings and weights as de-
manded by the American Poultry as
ISOLATION, whose rules govern so many
shows and fairs.

DORMANT ORANGES.
State Lecturer Taber Of Ohio Gives
His Ideas on Causes Of Dormancy.

The questions are often asked how 1t
happens that if the grange is such
valuable institution oranges die or be-
come dormant and why out of nearly
1900 oranges organized in Ohio we
have only $50 working today. The
answer to the second question is easier
than to the first. for more than 1900 Of
this large number were organized in
1874, at time when farmers joined
by thousands just because others were
joining, not understanding the real
purpose of the grange. Most Of these
early oranges were organized by men
who knew little or nothing Of how
grange meetings should be conducted
or what line of work the grange should
follow; also very few had any correct
idea of the unwritten work Of the or
der. Many Of the early oranges wer.
weak in members, many having a
charter list in the teens. Add to this
the visionary business idea of some Of
the early workers and the many fail.
ures due to lack of business experience,
it is little wonder that thus poorly OF.

of these oranges died after few
meetings or in a few years. 1t is really
wonder that as many weathered the
storm as did.
Let 1t be said to the credit of the
present deputy force that nearly all OF
the oranges organized in the past few
years are live working organizations.
1t was with considerable regret that
we listened to a speaker recently who
in advocating the organization of a
the business and legislative feature.
We do not wish to minimize the dol
lars and cents side of the order, but no
man or woman should be asked or
urged to join the grange in the belief
that something will be handed them
free" Those who will not join an or
ganization for the purpose Of working
with others to improve themselves,
their associates and calling will never
make good Patrons The grange dep.
uty and speaker should always place
stress Oh the educational, fraternal,
I legislative and social side of the
grange and remind his hearers that an
organization that is not of service to a

live and grow must serve and the op'
portunity for effective service for agri'
culture is greater today than ever be-

Board of Ereeholders.

An adjourned meeting of the Board of
Freeholders was held at the court house
yesterday morning.
All the members were present with the
exception of Louis r. Engel, of Roeb-
ling.
At IL o'clock proposals were received
for resurfacing the county road running
from Beverly to Delanco, a distance of
two miles, which will require Is, 459
cubic yards of stone, 500 of which will
be furnished by the Public Service Co.,
which raised its trolley tracks six inches.
The corporation was given the choice of
lowering its tracks two inches or supply
ing the difference in stone and it chose
the latter.
These bids were received: Walter S.
French & Co., Moorestown, S9,429 so;
Kelley & McFeeley Co., Camden, 81, 265-
SO: j. f. Stanley Co., Philadelphia,
81, 42O.32; Banks & Kolbach, Wildwood,
S11, 903.43..
Because of the figures being too high,
which barred them from consideration,
the latter firm was permitted to with
draw their bid.
Director Russ announced that as the
road committee was to visit Trenton to-
day, the remaining bids would be sub
mitted to the state road commissioner
He also notified the bidders to be present
at an adjourned meeting to be held to-
morrow morning when the contract may
be awarded.
These resolutions were passed: By Mr..
Russ, that bill of Walter S. French of
1896 for treating with oil 600 square
yards of the Burlington and BridgeborC
road be paid, the work having been
satisfactory to Col. Stevens.
By Mr.. Russ; That the county board
of taxation be asked to allow the county
the ten per cent. additional rate as pro-
vided by law.
BY Mr.. Russ: That we request Col
Stevens to allow us to pay for work done
on state road allotments semi-monthlv.
BY Mr.. Russ: That Charles Nj. Gale,
of Mount Holly, be awarded the contract
for widening the Belmont street bridge
at Burlington on his bid of $21S.
BY DIR. LeJambre: That j. r. Gillian,
Jr., be awarded the contract for repairing
the walls at the county Jail on his bid Of
$S5.
The board will be asked to pay fol-
some damage caused by an automobile
striking piece of tagging at Five
Points near Bridgeboro. Mr.. Russ said
he had received communication re
garding this, and that the matter would
be taken up at the next meeting.

TRENTON FAIR GROUNDS
GREATLY IMPROVED.

Visitors to the 1913 Trenton Inter
state Fair will find great improve
ments in the arrangements on the
grounds and in the trolley aecommoda-
lions. Instead Of entering the Fair
grounds east of Bromley Inn, as was
the case in years past. the trolley cars
will now run up opposite the grand
stand over tracks that have been re-
Gently laid west of Bromley Inn. This
lands the passengers almost in the
heart of the Fair instead of several
hundreds of yards away, as in other
years.
The Interstate Fair association had
enlarged the grounds by taking in all
that land between the old entrance
gates at the former trolley car termi-
nus and the main road. This space
will all be devoted to automobile park
ing purposes and Will give the Fair the
best parking accommodations of any
fair in the country.
The space formerly used for automo-
bile parking has been added to the
Midway and will be the scene of sew
eral large animal shows that could not
be placed under the old conditions.

Lyman Howe's Pictures.

Inc mere statement that LYMAN II
Howe will be in the Mount Holly Opera
House tomorrow evening, with his NOV
ing pictures is sufficient to awaken an
interest that always results from such
an announcement. Howe's pictures are
always interesting and never fail to give
satisfaction to those who view them. In
the programme that is to be offered to-
morrow evening there will be some of
the latest views secured by Mr.. Howe
and his large corps of photographers who
are on the road all the time looking UP
novelties. Among them will be scenes
OF the Grand Canyon of Arizona. 1t
was while engaged in cinematographing
a portion OF these views that Mr.. Howe's
photographer nearly lost his life. He
hung over deep abyss, the only thing
between him and fall to certain death
being rope which became twisted and
refused to work over the pulleys. The
photographer, however, kept his nerve
and finally succeeded in being drawn up
to safety. He got his picture, all right.
The wreck of the s. S. Vermont will be
shown. splendid representations of an
Oil fire and the way in which it was
fought and, what is especially interest
ing at this time, photographs of base
ball game. These are only few of the
many interesting views which will be
shown at the Opera House tomorrow
wednesday, evening.
