FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1913.
PLANT ROADSIDE TREES.

Somebody ought to start society to
line our New England highways with
shade trees. Miles and miles of roads
in the more rural parts of the States to
the north of us, where trees should be
no rarity, are as bleak and unprotected
as the desert itself, simply because no
pains have been taken oprovide shade.
Where the woods have been cut away
it would have been a simple matter to
leave line of trees standing, as the
Massachusetts, law now requires. But
even this has been rarely done.
Trees along the highway are an un-
mixed blessing. They break the force
of the winters winds, and lessen the
terrors of the summers sun. They do
much to retain surface moisture, and
so to keep down the dust. Our New
England villages are noted for their
rows of lofty elms Would that this
distinction could b. made to apply to
the long stretches of other highways.
Particularly important is it in this era
of the automobile, with the revived
Importance of the country road. -Bos-

NO UNUSUAL DAMAGE DONE BY
FOREST FIRES.
Reports Show This to Be Case in
States Cooperating With Gov
ernnn mt.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Reports of
forest fires from the States with which
the federal government is cooperating
show that there has been a general
lack of unusual fire danger this year.
This is not taken to mean that there has
not been a great many fires, but that
an efficient firefghting force has been
adequate. Only two States, Massa-
chusetts and Maine, have thus far
found it necessary, because of extra
serious fire hazard, to call upon the
emergency provisions of their agree
ments with the federal government.
Maine has found it necessary to en-
ploy extra men over and above the
normal allowance provided in its agree
ment. This any State may do under
the terms of the agreement up to a
certain fixed maximum, on the initia-
tive of the State officer in charge of
forest protection. He must, however,
satisfactorily establish t1e existence of
unusual hazard before the extra men
will be paid. The forester at Wash
ington has the further right under a
serious emergency to waive this maxi
mum provision, within the limits of the
funds available, and authorize the State
to employ any number of additional
men that may seem necessary.
In Massachusetts this emergency
has been of somewhat different sort.
Normal conditions of fire hazard, upon
which are based all the agreements of
the federal government with the
States, in Massachusetts call for dis
tinct dry spring and fall fire season.
Fire protection work may thus largely
be discontinued during the midsummer
months. However, because of long
drouths, there has been practically no
let-up in the fire danger to the present.
A shortage of funds was iminent,
but the relief was secured by an amend
ment to the agreement, approved by
the secretary of agriculture, by which
the federal government eXpends $500
more and the State 81, 600 more. I'm
der any conditions, the law requires
the State to spend as much money as
the federal government. In the usual
summer the State spends on an average
three dollars to the fedel al govern
ment's one; New York will expend at
least ten dollars. The government,
however, will not necessarily adhere to
the ratio established with a State con-
fronted by an exceptional fire menace.
In such emergencies it will help as far
as its funds go in accordance with the
needs of the situation.

burned steady. Blazing blocks of
wood, dislodged from her steel frame,
aoated down the river, menacing other
craft.
Nine thousand gallons of benzine had
not been reached by the flames at
o'clock and fire fighters were hopeful
that she would sink before this should
explode.
Thousands of persons lining the water
front were swept back by the police re-

THAT they would be imperiled in case of
an explosion, and a zone extendir g a

ORGANIZING A GRANGE.
Some Important Information as to De.
arees, Meetings, Etc.

grees, Meetings, Etc.
Answering the questions of a CORE
tpondent for information about organ
izing a grange. the lecturer of the
Pennsylvania state grange. r. P. Kes-
ter, writes as follows. and we give his
reply for the benefit of others who
may not be familiar with grange pro-
cedure:
At least thirteen charter members
are necessary to organize a grange,
four of whom must be women. The
initiation fees as well as the dues are
merely nominal. The minimum initia~
females; for minors, males. 81; fe-
males, so cents. The minimum an
nual dues for both sexes and all ages
are 10 cents per month. About two
thirds of all this money remains at
home in the local treasury. The bal
ance goes to help maintain the work
of the state and national oranges. The
charter, dispensation and equipment
are purchased from the national
grange, for which $15 is paid, the
money being paid out of the charter
member fees. A grange is organized
by deputy or other authorized mem
Der. There are thirteen officials in
| every grange. and women are eligible
to any Of them.
There are four degrees in a subordi-
nate or local grange. Not more than
two may he conferred at one meeting.
The time ard number of meetings are
optional. Some oranges hold weekly
| meetings: more hold them twice y
month anu some once month. The
| Pomona or county oranges are held
every three months. This grange CON
fers one degree. called the fifth de.
gree Nearly all the business of the
| PuHona meeting is done in the fourth
degree. and every fourth degree uem
Der may attend except when it is work
| Ing in the fifth degree.
The state grange meets annually,
and its voting members consist of two
delegates lin Pennsylvania FROM each
subordinate grange, which are the
master and his wife. unless others are
chosen. The sixth degree is conferred
at the state grange. The national
grange meets annually. and it is com
posed of the masters of the state
oranges and their wives. The seventh
and highest degree is conferred here.
In all grange meetings the work is
conducted in the fourth degree and
any fourth degree member-that is
any one who is a member in good
standing of local grange-can attend
Pomona. state or national meeting
AS to returns they begin at once and
in any way the members may choose
We must remember that the grange j.
an institution with high aims. posi-
bilities and accomplishments. We can
not measure all returns in dollars and
cents any more than we can set 4
money value on the work of the
church or the schools. But we can by
cooperating save as well as make
money from the start. The Patrons
fire insurance companies, the buying
from grange contract houses cooper
ative selling-all these and many Other
avenues are open to grangers, enabling
them to save many times the small
annual fees. Besides this. the effec
that united effort brings on state anC
national affairs will bring. as it ha,
brought, great good to all. Do no
hesitate to organize.
