every man, woman and child living on
the farms of the state He also spoke
of the soil deterioration consequent up
on tenant farming, of the immense de-
sirabiliLy of home ownership and advis-
ed members Of the grange to suppo
bill now pending in congress looking to
the establishment by the government
of system of agricultural credits, so
that the farmer could secure money to
finance his business at a low rate of i'll
terest, thus increasing the per centage
of home owners and promoting conser-
walton of the soil, which is of vast i'm
portance to all classes of citizens
Taking up the question of direct mar
keting, Mr.. Ketcham said he thought
he saw in the parcel post vast possibili-
ties for the farmer and those who must
have his produce. Uncle Sam is the
best collector on earth and if he can
now deliver bushel of potatoes and
return the pay what is to hinder his de-
livering heavier packages or articles
including all of the products of the farm
which he said, frankly, meant govern
ownership of the means of transporta-
ton. If this should be construed as ad-
vocacy of paternalism, then, as between
exploitation and paternalism. he was not
at all afraid to say he was in favor of the
latter.
In closing, Mr. Ketcham made plea
for concerted action on the part of the
farmers of the State. There were a
half million people in the common
wealth eligible for membership in the
Grange; only 60, 900 were so affiliated,
and he pointed out what might easily
be achieved if all were organized into
an effective unit working for common
purpose. The speaker was heartily ap-
plauded at the conclusion of his address.
o. M. Field speaking on the High
Cost of Living" said he was convinced
it was not the right term to describe
the difficulty, which was due to the
cost of high living. Recalling the
prices that he had known as boy and
since, period of forty years, Mr.. Field
said that the essentials were not much
higher now than then and in many in
stances were lower, but the demands of
the average individual for luxuries had
increased enormously.sb Furthermore,
he did not think the tariff had much to
do with prices, as he had observed
since the recent tariff measure had
gone into effect that while the volume
of imports of food stuffs and meats had
increased enormously prices had remain
ed at about the same level as here
tofore. Mr.. Ketcham in his speech
heartily approved of many things that
Mr.. Field said, especially with regard
to the tariff and the prevalence of ex-
travagance.
E. G. Hackney, being called upon,
made a short speech in which he favor
ed the coalition of all the farmers or
ganizations into one effective working

All arrangements have now been prac-

GRANGE MEETING
MOST INTERESTING
MASTER OF STATE GRANGE J.. c.
KETCHAM MADE SPEECH.
Declared that Farmer Must have More
Dollars Out of his Job As Prime
Requirement.

Master of the State Grange John e.
Ketcham, of Hastings, who was the
principal speaker at the Pomona Grange
held in the local Grange Hall, last Fri
day afternoon, made most interesting
address, not wasting much time in the
usual complimentary platitudes. but
proceeding at once to a discussion Of
matters that had for their object the
betterment of society in general and of
the farmer in particular. Mr.. Ketch-
am said that to get down to brass tacks,
the main thing necessary for the farm
er's betterment, the thing that was
preeminently needful for his social and
intellectual elevation was more dollars
for his work. Given the means, he would
venture the farmer would rise to sill
the possibilities of comfort and culture
and if the boys and girls who are reared
on the farm could sec in their parents
avocation the same financial return
that attends other callings they would
have no desire to leave the farm for a
narrow and artificial life in the cities.
Proceeding, logically, to discussion
of how to secure more dollars, Mr..
Ketcham said that science was factor
in bettering conditions, as, for instance,
exhaustive tests had determined that
of the immense number of cows kept
in Michigan one-third did not even pay
for the food they ate, another third
barely paid that expense, and only one
third really yielded a profit. But ly-
ing deeper than these technical ques-
tions were those of a political and finan--
cial nature. Through present means OF
handling and TRANSPORTATION 65 per cent
of the value of farm products in the
United States went into the hands of
others than the producers. Only 20
per cent of the farmers in the state
were owners IN fee simple of their
homes, the balance being under mort
gage or tenants, and speaking of the
annual interest charge against mort
gagged farm lands Mr.. Ketcham said
that, leaving the question of bonuses
untouched, the rate in Michigan was
more than seven per cent and reached
a total of seven dollars per capita for

WILLIAM VINCENT ASTOR
AND MISS HUNTINGTON
MARRIED AT STAATSbURG

Staatsburg, n. Y, April 3o.-William
Vincent Aston, son of the late Col
onel John Jacob Aston, and Miss Helen
Dinsmore Huntington, whom he has
known since childhood, were married
here shortly after noon today in the
big oak paneled library of Hopeland
House, home of the brides parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert p. Huntington.
Less than 80 persons witnessed the
ceremony, and of these there were the
superintendents from the Aston, the
Huntington and the Dinsmore estates,
respectively. The other guests were
relatives and close friendsf of the
families.
Plans had been made for an elab-
crate church wedding but Mr.. Astor
recent illness, which threatened pneu-
monia, made necessary the abandon
meut of these plans. Eighteen nun
dred wedding announcements were
sent out after today's ceremony, but
the small company that witnessed 1t
had been invited by informal notes.
A fine rain was falling when the few
guests from New York City arrived
at the Huntington estate. Guards had
been posted at he entrance and only
those whose credentials were unques-
toned were admitted.
Decorations
Green foliage and spring flowers
from the Huntington Conservatives
and from New York, hung everywhere
throughout the rooms of Hopeland
House. Buried in blossoms, with here
and there a touch of green, was the
marble mantelpiece in the library be-
fore which the coupe stood. Miss
Huntington entered the room on the
arm of her father. AT her throat
cleaned a gorgeous necklace of pearls,
the gift of the bridegroom. Her bridal
gown was of white tulls, with train
of white satin. Her lace veil had been
worn by her grandmother, Mrs. Dins-
more, and by her mother. before her.
Hermann Oelrichs of New York
was best man. Miss Alice Huntington,
sister of the bride, acted as maid of
honor, and the little Misses Muriel AS
tor and Margaret Bows were flower
girls. The two children were prettily
CARRIED in corn colored chiffon ana

er, wore blue taffeta and chiffon.

A screened orchestra Of 20 pieces
played the 'Lohengrin" march, and
the Rev. Charles II. Duncan, rector of
st. Margaret's church, Staatsburg,
read the Episcopal marriage service.

and had risen man and wife. the
