State Grange Holds
Its Annual Meeting
Maryland Farmers and Farm Women
VIII Meet In Baltimore To Con-
slider Rural Problems.

With the coming of the Maryland
State Grange to Baltimore on the 18th
and 10th of December. We find many
interested to know what this organl-
cation stands for and what it has &C
complished.
The Grange is the organization OF
the whole country community, vitality
interested in the betterment of the
home as well as the improvement OF
the farm, open to men and women
alike and ready TO include in its mem
bership the boys and girls who are
last growing into the active life of their
neighborhood. The Grange is the edu-
Gator of the farmer in better farming
methods, in better business practice,
and in better country life. The first
object Of the Grange is to train the
farmer to help himself and find him.
self.
The social side of the Grange is the
side that really touches the farmer
FIRST and brings his family into closer
touch with the other people of the
neighborhood. Too often the country
neighborhood is broken up into social
sets or circles or again there is lit
tie or no social life at all. Things
are dead" the young folks will tell
you, nothing doing around these
parts~ The Grange changes this. The
Grange is broad enough to take into
it every interest in country life and
every one interested in it. It brings
people together who have had hardly
bowling acquaintance. 1t makes them
feel free to speak their thoughts out
in "open meeting" without fearing too
much what this or that neighbor will
say. It brings home to them the fact
that they are all members Of q COM
mon neighborhood and engaged in the
common and united effort of making 1t
a more desirable place in which to
live. If the Grange accomplished moth.
ing else but the making Of better neigh
bors and better neighborhood spirit, II
would be still well worth while. Copies
of the program for the State Grange
meeting will be gladly mailed to any
one writing to the State Lecturer,

Sing for Prisoners.

Prisoners were put on their dignity
Sunday afternoon at the Frederick
Jail, when ten Hood College girls
went to the institution and sang songs
during the regular Sunday afternoon
services. 1t was a rare occasion for
the prisoners and they showed their
appreciation by taking an active in
terest in the services. A horse thief
asked the girls to sing "Where Is My
Wandering Boy Tonight" and passed
around song books for that selection.
81 want it understood that not only
did the prisoners enjoy the services,
but the deputies and did," said Sher-
if Conard, last night.
The trip to the Frederick Jail is bu5
one of a series. of Sunday tours which
the college girls will take to various
institutions in the city this term. On
November. %, a trip was made to the
"Home For The Aged" a prepared
program was. given, including piano
selections and solos. On the same
day the Loats' and Episcopal Orphan
ages were visited. Stories were told
and games were played with the child
rem at these institutions.
Visit Other Places.
On Sunday, November 30, twelve of
the college students went to the City
Hospital, where a fine program was
given. Later the plan is to include
Montevue Hospital.
1t has been planned to have every
girl in the college make at least one
trip to these institutions or any one
of them. 1t is social service work
along lines as suggested by the Y. w.
C. A.
The students who participated in the
services at the Jail yesterday were:
Misses Alliene Dechant, Ethel Lowe,
Anna Book, Catherine Hotel, Esther
Olmstead, Helen McCullagh Phoebe
Gettig, Sara Given, Margaret Wehler
and Barbara Wineman.
For years it has been the custom TO
conduct services at the Frederick
Jail on Sunday afternoon for the pris
oners. Those who conduct the serv-
ices are: Messrs John Gomber, Lew
is Ruprecht, William Burger and Mrs.
Milton Woodward.

SELECTING PROFITABLE LAYERS
FROM THE FARM FLOCK.
ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

At this season of the year the ques-
ton Of how to pick out the laying hen
often comes up. Many have recon-
mended the use of trap nests. This
may sound very well to persons who
have had no actual experience with
them, but any one who has looked
after trap nests knows that 1t is no sim
pie matter. Attention has to be given
at intervals every day if complete
record is TO be had. They have to be
looked after Sundays and holidays as
we'll as other days, fourth Of July and
Christmas included OF course, trap
nests have their place, but it isn't in
the hen house of the average farmer
or poultryman. How then is the poul.
try keeper going to pick out the bust
ness hen? 1t is quite a simple mat
ter. The hardest problem perhaps is
how to get hold Of the birds. II one
doesn't mind spending an evening now
and then with the chickens they can
be easily handled after dark. If the
work must be done during the day

Fewer EMPLOYEES at Montevue.

Fewer Employees at Montevue.
Fewer employees are advocated for
Montevue While the County Com
missioners have made a big reduction
in the maintenance of that institution
it is reported that by the elimination
of a few of the employees and the alb
clifton of some offices even larger
saving can be effected. These sugges-
tons have been made by several large
taxpayers of Frederick county.
Several of the County Commissioners,
when approached about the matter,
were non-committal. 1t is reported
that some of the commissioners are
favorably disposed TO this idea
1t has been suggested that the
County Commissioners eliminate the
office of clerk at Montevue. The duties
OF clerk, explained this taxpayer,
could be taken care of by the superin
tendent of the institution.
The present Board of County Com
missioners has cut the number Of en-
ployes at the institution. When the
county's insane was moved from the
building TO State institutions. several
nurses and wardens were found to
be useless.
There are enough men at the in
stitution in charge of the farm work
TO run tract of land three times that
size said one man last night. "Of
course, | know that you can't expect
TO save thousands of dollars by simply
abolishing Offices. but some money.
can be saved and the institution can
be operated just the same"
This brings up the old question of
disposing of the building. The com
missioners hope ultimately to have the
State take them over. From reliable
source it is reported that some eff
fort might be made at the next SEES
sion of the Maryland Legislature TO
have the State buy the building. The
county would then acquire a smaller
property.

An Odd Crime.

Lady Bowyer-Smith is an English
woman who has been guilty of the
crime of vulpicide, which is simply
in plain English that she has killed a
fox in some other way than the Eng
lish way, with the hounds. 1t is con-
sidered almost as great crime as to
kill man for anyone to shoot or 9th
erwise make way with fox, which is
regarded as the special prey of the
hounds.-Cincinnati Times-Star.

Making Children Think.

There is no end of discussion as to
what courses of study shall be taken
up by the schools. Different views
are expressed, ranging from the bare
outlines of the old-time three Rs" to
the most elaborate idea of culture
study, or more practical forms OF
teaching hand work and home arts.
Meanwhile, there is one great essen
tiai running for all instruction. That
is, that children be taught to think
things out for themselves. Almost any
course of study is good if this power is
given.-St Joseph News-Press.

About the NIGHTINGALE.

It is said that few birds lend them
selves to captivity so readily as the
nightingale. To be sure, they should
be confined in an aviary or large
outdoor cage. The story is told Of
one nightingale which never sang
again after it went from its old owner
to a new one.
