SIGNIFICANT FIGURES.
Literary and Dramatic Work b
Oranges In Massachusetts,.

Literary and Dramatic Work by
Oranges In Massachusetts,.
One can scarcely comprehend the
amount or understand the full signifi.
canoe of the strictly literary work done
in the subordinate oranges of the
country during a years time. But few
of the state oranges keep so complete
record of this work as does New
Hampshire and Massachusetts; hence
it is to them that we may return for
some interesting figures. We quote
from the report of former State Lee
turer Richardson of Massachusetts
Out of the 262 subordinate oranges re-
ports were received from 234 and from
25 Pomona oranges. These reports
showed that there had been total of
1,2SS debates and discussions. 1854 vo-
cal selections, 5,195 other musical Sc
lections, 6,218 readings, 1,471 papers
read 796 dramatic features presented,
in which $500 persons took part. and
1903 other features, in which 20.797
engaged. These figures, he says, would
have been increased by one-fourth if
all oranges had reported. This is the
work of one states subordinate and
Pomona oranges in part. Assuming
that there are 1000 subordinate
oranges In the entire country and max
ing due allowance for a possible larger
literary interest in Massachusetts than
there might be in the average of sub
ordinate oranges elsewhere. the grand
totals would be quite comprehensive
And yet this literary and educational
work of the grange stamps it as the
one great farmers organization that
seeks pre-eminently the educational
and social advancement Of the farmer
and his family.
We also get a valuable side light just
here on the sources of the oranges in
fluence on public affairs and on the
representatives of the people in our
halls of legislation. Each state has its
own public questions to be discussed
and problems to be solved. and in so
far as these questions bear upon the
interest of the farmer we may rest as
sured they will be discussed in the
oranges of that state National mat
ters bearing upon the interests of agri-
culture generally are discussed in
oranges all over the land. Is it any
wonder. then, that the grange as an
institution is molder of public opin-
ion? Is it to be for Il moment doubted
that it yields a powerful influence. di-
rectly and indirectly, on state and ma
tional legislation?-J. w. barrow.

The value of the system of having
fire watchmen stationed on Vermont
mountains was demonstrated in Wind
ham county last Sunday afternoon when
the Waterman on Stratton mountain
detected forest fire blazing between
Brattleboro and Guildford and notified
the proper authorities in those towns.
1t matters not that at the same time
the fire also was detected by other per-
sons in the immediate vicinity. who
were going about the work of fighting
the fire when the message came from
the mountain-the usefulness of the
system was proven. And if the value
OF the system was prov en- in more Don
ulous sections, the plan of having fire
watchmen would prove even more valu-
able in the more remote regions of Yer
mont, where there are fewer people
and, therefore, less likelihood of early
discovery of danger. These forest fire
watchmen are likely to save Vermont
great amount of money in the appre-
gate in the course of a summers work

SIGNS CAME DOWN.
An Ohio Grange Removed Unsightly
BilIboards From the Roadside.

Mrs. Mary Il. Lee tells Nationa
Stockman readers how an Ohio grange
removed unsightly signs from the
highways. Read her story. \ grange
committee was appointed to see that
beer sign along the public highway
was removed. The landowner wanted
the sign removed but hesitated about
proceeding. When he found that he
was backed by 200 strong. he sent his
man with the committee. which went
down in an auto. and had the sign cut
down. 1t was learned that many signs
had been erected along the public
roads and farmers learned. evidently
for the first time, that they had right
to remove signs along their premises
as they paid taxes to the middle of the
highway and roads were for public
travel, not abuse. These signs and
others were removed. 1t was also
learned that any person who erected q
sign along the public highway without
consent Of abutting owner. wos guilty
of trespass. This incident will be the
means of clearing our roadways OF
many unsightly signs.
Some farmers took the initiative
long ago. South of Westerville w. s.
Mcdonald and Tom Dempsey deter
mined that their corners should be kept
clean. and it has been done. Adver
Users have learned that their signs
will be cut down and laid face down
along the roadside and have desisted
from putting them up of late.
After all, why should not the farmer
put up sign before the merchants
place of business or residence adver
Using Fresh butter and eggs always

John Jones will buy and sell manure;
leave orders at postoffice." These
signs are just as admissible in the city
as those of merchants advertising
their goods in the country. When the
farmers realize their rights in the mat
ter there will be a general cleaning UP
Of unsightly billboards which disfgure
the landscape. II Blendon grange did
nothing else it has rendered this signal
service to her community in arousing
its members to their rights and pre-
negatives in the public highway.

met with an accident in Brandon Friday
that might easily have proved serious.
She was riding a bicycle down a hill,
when she lost control of it and ran into
the stone bridge, being thrown from
her wheel into the river, the drop being
some II or 10 feet. She was badly
shaken up, but uninjured, and was able
to mount her wheel and ride home. The
water in the river was very shallow.
