that he could know very little Of

to the doctrine Of our church, as
had received Il from the Reverend
Mother and the Cardinals who used

ing. The horses were being driven from
Middlebury to Vergennes and when near
the residence of w. D. Woodman of
Waltham the sleigh turned over and the
horses in their fright got away from the
driver and ran into town. On reaching
Main street they turned toward the
bridge and after running short distance
turned the corner near the bank, circled
around back of the Stevens House barns
and then continued toward the station.
On reaching a point near the milk plant
the horses left the highway and started
on the railroad track crossing the bridge
over the underpass in safety. They con.
tinued on the track toward Ferrlsburg.
Reaching the bridge near Ferrisburg they
tried to cross it and had almost reached
the other side when they stepped be-
tween the ties, and their progress was
stopped. When found their legs were
hanging down between the ties aud their
bodies rested on the bridge, Help was
summoned and it took almost an hour to
get them off from the bridge. No serious
damage was done to the horses although
one of them was severely bruised. The
sleigh was found short distance from
the bridge. The distance run by the
horses was about three miles.

but for the generations to come.
The ever living subject of represent
tation in the national grange, accord
ing to state membership. was discuss
ed and voted down again. The reso-
luton that was defeated was to the
effect that the basis of representation
In the national grange shall be amend
ed to provide that every state master
and wife or husband shall each have
one vote on all questions On roll call
every state master and wife or hus-
band shall have one vote each and
for each and every 10000 members or
major fraction thereof above the first
10000 shall have one vote each ad-
ditional.
Personal property has equal protec-
tor under the law and for that rea-
son should contribute toward the sup
port of government. Assessing oil tax
upon land would work a still greater
hardship upon the farmer than the
present unjust method Of taxation.
There is no remedy under existing
statutes, but Il solution OF the prob
lem may be found in uniform tax laws
in all states of the Union. so there
shall be no tax lodging possible by
moving from one state To another. A
grange believes to be the most just
and equitable plan yet devised. If
the national government can uncover
the vast millions That have heretofore
escaped taxation it would seem to be
an opportune time for the states to
take up this matter and assess these
millions to the end that the farmer and
other real estate owners may be re-
| lieved. In measure from these un
just and Ubiquitous burdens.
Various Resolutions Adopted.
First.-Ful equal suffrage was in
dorsed by the grange
Second.-The protection OF migratory
birds was favored and the secretary
authorized to convey this information
to President Wilson
Third.-The monopoly of the water
powers of the country was looked upon
with apprehension and congress and
the several state legislatures were
urged to enact laws to prevent such
monopolies.
Fourth-The grange favored the en-
actment of law to amend the consti-
tuition of the United States so as to
prohibit the manufacture and sale OF
intoxicating liquors and to submit the
same to the several states for rutitica
ton.
Fifth.-The loan of money deposited
in postal savings banks directly &c
farmers and home builders Mt low
rate of interest was favored by the
grange.
Sixth.-Relative to the rural credit
commissions sent to Europe last sum
mer. the grange signiied its regret
that the membership of the commits
sion was not representative of the
farmers Of the country or calculated
to inspire confidence in any report thai
they may make.

Washington, d. C.-The amount Of
business being tral sacted by the II
Federal reserve banks is gradually in
creasing, according to the weekly
statement given out by the Federal
Reserve Board for the week ending
December 4. The rediscount business
had aggregated $1O,O00.00 in round fig
ures; of which $417,00O was reported
for the Fifth district bank at Rich
mond.
The increase in rediseounts over the
previous week is nearly $25O0.000.
More than rs per cent. of the paper
discounted with the banks natures
within 80 days, while New York, Chi
cago and st. Louis rank in order stated
as regards the amount of paper dis
counted
Cash holdings and deposits show
small changes compared with the pre-
viols week, while gold holdings show
an increase of about $3,000.000. large
ly Offset by reductions in other cash
holdings.
I'm this weeks statement report is
made for the first time of the net
amount of Federal reserve notes In
circulation" it is said in the Federal
Reserve Boards statement. THE item
differs from that reported under the
same heading last week because it
shows the net liability of Federal re-
serve banks after deducting from the
gross amount in circulation the
amount in gold or other lawful money
deposited by reserve banks with Fed
eral reserve agents to retire outstand-
ing notes. A memorandum is shown
on the statement indicating the differ
ence between the gross and net
amounts of notes in circulation. The
increase during the past week in Fed
eral reserve notes in circulation is ST.
405, 900, but the next increase in bank
liability in such notes is only $1,250,-
600, owing to the depositing of lawful
money to retire notes.
