THE GRANGE DEPUTY.
Some Reflections on His Important
Duties and Responsibilities.

Duties and Responsibilities.
The work of the deputy is varied and
sometimes complicated. | have often
felt the need of a more concerted ac-
ton among the deputies of the state
If some method could be devised so
that the Pomona and subordinate
oranges could be better posted on the
aims and purposes of the state grange
there would be n closer bond of sym
patty that would be of mutual benefit
If every Patron of Husbandry could be
brought in closer touch with our supe-
rior officers each one would feel a
share in the achievements of the state
grange.
l have long felt that the weakest
point in our grange management is the
connecting link between the state and
the subordinate grange. Let some wise
one provide a remedy for this, and
much more can be accomplished in the
way of cooperation.
In Tompkins county our territory is
well covered with sixteen oranges.
Only now and then is a new grange
formed. | endeavOr in all new oranges
as well as old ones to encourage the
young people to make the most of their
opportunities. to make the grange a
school of self culture indeed. The or
der Of Patrons of ITusbandry stands
for the greatest good to the greatest
number. 1t is on this theory that
discourage the use of the degree team
to do all the initatory work in the
grange | very much doubt if our
young people would ever become very
proficient grange work by merely
watching the work of a degree team,
he that team ever so efficient, any
more than a church congregation would
become proficient i'm song 10y listening
TO the singing of trained choir from
the opera. 1t has been my pleasure to
see boys ana Girls come into the grange
and by faithful performance of all the
duties that came to them develop into
broad and useful men and women.
One man who has become prominent
as an instructor at farmers institutes
once said the grange has been the
making of him | should be inclined to
give it a different rendering The
grange had furnished him an opportu-
nifty to make the most of himself to
develop the latent powers within him
self But doubt if this man ever rose
to the position that he did by letting
others do all the grange work-by see
ing the workings Of a degree team if
you please. f. w. CARMAN.

Movement to Start Relief Fund

An international movement for the
relief of the distressed wives, chill
dren and other relatives and depend
ents of soldiers Involved in the World
War has been organized and is conduct
ing a campaign for funds with which to
carry on the Mercy Work.
The effect is being made by the Com
mittee of Mercy, which has its head
quarters at No. 1886, Fifth Ave. Bid.
New York
The president of the organization is
the Hon. Elihu Root, U. S. Senator
from New York. Its treasurer is
August Belmont, to whom contribu-
tons may be forwarded. The plan has
the endorsement of President Woodrow
Wilson, who, consistent with his atti-
tude of neutrality, recognized the ne
cessity for a movement to relieve the
non combatants of all nations involved
in the struggle.
The field of the Red Cross is to minis
ter to the sick and wounded soldiers.
The mission of the Committee of
Mercy is to help those left behind by
the soldiers. Relief will be given to
such, no matter where they reside.
The vast number in the United States
will be aided as well as the INDECENT
and suffering in the theatre of the Euro
pean War.

Reports from Manila are that this
years sugar crop in the Philippines is
the greatest in the history of the is
lands. This is welcome news. Per
haps the effect upon the sugar market
of the world will be to bring the price
of sugar down to the point where we
can afford to use t on our grapefruit and
in our coffee. We can get the coffee
from Porto Rico, and the grapefruit
can be had from that island as well as
from Florida. r. Hartford Courant.

The country was never more beauti-
full than at the present time. The rich
colors of the autumn foliage make an
enhancing picture on every hillside.
The only drawback to perfect conditions
in the great outdoor is the drough. A
wet summer has been followed by sev-
eral weeks without any appreciable
rainfall and the beds of brooks which
are favorite resorts i'm the trout fishing
season are now as dry as Main street
Springs and wells have failed and many
farmers are compelled to go long dis
tances to get water for domestic uses

Market reports indicate that specula-
tors in food products instead Of MAX
ing heavy profits, will be fortunate if
they lose nothing. Flour quotations
are falling because people are econo-
MIXING and the demand is slackening as
the result of the heavy purchases made
d few weeks ago in anticipation of a
food shortage, Other commodities are
falling in price, coffee, for example, is
four cents cheaper at wholesale than it
was before the war, and importatons
have 10y no mea been suspended.
These figures are so encouraging to
consumers that there is little apprehen-
sion of eXhorbiiant charges. Indeed,
with the extraordinary crops, there
never was valid reason for the fear of
famine. And probably the greedy
spectators now realize the stupidity of
trying to corner provisions in a year
of bounteous harvests. Providence
