State Master J. A. Sherwood Re elect
ed-Business Transacted.
The twenty ninth annual session or
the Connecticut state grange was held
In Hartford from Jan. 10 to l5 with
large attendance State Master j. A.
Sherwood reported some progress In
grange work. although but two new
oranges have been organized the past
year. There had been considerable
additions to the oranges already or
ganized. He said in his opening ad-
dress that the grange should have a
distinct mission In every community
and should exert such an influence that
1t would be recognized as necessity.
The cash receipts for the year. includ
ing balance on hand Jan. IA. 1913,
were $12,653.12. The expenses were
$6,573.33. Invested funds amount to
$10,266.25.
Resolutions of various kinds were
presented and considered, and the most
important of those adopted may be
summarized as follows: Favoring the
teaching of agriculture in the public
schools, and to that end committee
was recommended to prepare an out
line course In agriculture The grange
also urged that the foundations of
bookkeeping be taught in the common
and the high schools and that such
{,,r hn rnpntcnru ~
also favored the compulsory teaching
of certain essential principles Of mo-
rality in these schools. Another reso-
luton established sort Of educational
fund for the use Of needy young mem.
bers Of the Order in securing an educa
ton at the State Agricultural college
Each grange Is to set apart sum
equal to cents for each member each
year for this fund. The grange voted
unanimously against the free seed
distribution of congress. The admins
tration of Postmaster General Burle-
son was Endorsed with special refer
ence to the parcel post law.
The new workmen's compensation
law came in for severe scoring, mas
much as 1t affects the farmer as an
employer. 1t was explained by an au-
thority that the farmer could get
around it by serving certain papers,
but the grange went on record as In
opposition to 1t and suggested that 1t
be radically amended. 1t was said to
be the intention to exclude from the
provisions of the act all who did not
employ FIVE or more. As result of
the agitation over the compensation
law the following resolution relative to
farmers insurance was adopted: THAT
the minimum rate Of $3.50 to the small
farmer is an unfair discrimination and
that the executive committee be in
,tructed to confer with the companies
writing liability insurance and endeav-
Dr. to secure fair rate for the small
farmer"
Addresses were given during the ses-
sion by j. II. Hale. Past Master George
J. Laid of Massachusetts, and by Mrs
Ladd, lecturer Of the Massachusetts,
state grange; Rev. r. A. Sumner OF
Milford, George B. Chandler Of Rocky
Hill and others. The officers OF the
range were mostly reelected.
The matter of selecting place for
he next annual meeting was referred
o the executive committee after con- {
iderable discussion. 1t will go either
o Waterbury or New Haven.

Former Hopeites Suffer
Fire Loss.

The following news item from
t h 9 Culbertson Searchlight,
which we clipped from the Pop
lar Standard, is of interest to
our readers, as the parties suf.
fering the loss, Messrs. Carl and
Albert Donaldson, were both for
merly residents and business
men of this city:
/ Donaldsons' garage was discovered
to be on fire Tuesday morning about
l0:30 o'clock, and in half-hour was
only a heap Ct smouldering ruins. AL
bert Donaldson was at Plentywood
and Carl Donaldson was at scobey.
The only one present in the garage
was one of the mechanics, and at the
time he was talking to a travelling man
in the front Office. The whole place
seemed to be enveloped in fame at
once, and nearly everything in the
garage burned.
L. E. Shows car was saved, but two
cars belonging to the Citizens State
Bank were burned. These, however,
we're insured. All of the Donaldson
cars were out on the road. 1t was re-
ported that the contents of the safe
we're burned, but this was an error
The papers were charred on the ends
a trifle, but not seriously damaged.
The biggest loss was the garage and
about q thousand dollars worth of
tires, together with lot Of other re-
pair parts and all of their tools. Upon
these there was no insurance
Donaldson Bros. have secured the
Hage garage for q repair shop and
the machine house of Tanner & Best

Can't Get Off the Direct
and Best Trail,

Messrs. Karl E. Piahler and Fred
Brainerd, of Minneapolis, of the the
Automobile Trail Blazing Associa-
ton of America" we're in Hope re-
Gently, marking the line between Lang
don and Casselton and from the latter
place south into South Dakota. While
in the city, these gentlemen called at
The Pioneer Office and impaired to us
information as to the object OF the
work of the Association, and for the
benefit of such of our readers who
may be as ignorant as we were con-
corning ''trail blazing" we will brief
ly explain: The Association is Or
ganized for the purpose of blazing or
marking roads between principal
points all over the United States, so
that travellers unacquainted with the
country may proceed from place to
place not only with the absolute GER
tainty that they are on the road, but
that they also are on the best road to
the point they desire to reach-for this
work was inaugurated and is being
pushed by automobilists of the coun-
try.
When convenient, telegraph and tel
ephoue poles are utilized, but on roads
away from such lines common fence
posts are set at ever section corner
and at every by-road by which trav-
eler might be led from his correct
course.
This is known a. the "Blue Trail, "
and in marking the posts only blue
and white paint are used. The scheme
of marking is very simple, as follows:
There are three letters used, viz:
"R" for right turn, IL" for left turn,
and TX" for railroad crossing or any
other point of danger.
The sign used for straight ahead, Is
three bands or stripes, one Of white,
one OF blue and another one of white.
The sign used for Garage is q circle
OF blue surrounded by white, and In.
dicates that garage is located in the
next town on your route. The Hotel
sign is assquare blue center surroun.
