THE JUVENILE PROBLEM.

Cognizant of the fact that in

spring of aggregate happiness the
Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks of the United States has
inaugurated the big Brother
Movement" The essence of the
movement is that each member
of the order, in a purely indivi-
dual capacity, agrees to become
the mentor of some small bow
who may be launched upon an
uncertain career, to act as his
guide through the shoals of
youth, warning him here, en-
couraging him there and general
~ directing him along the path
that leads upward and not down
ward.
And through all this movement
the big brother" acts in no can
hous manner, assumes no indi-
vidual air of superiority, but, in
a spirit of benevolence and fra
ternalism, treats his youthful
ward as q fellow being with fun
damentally equal rights and with
every prospect of succeeding al
something in life as those about
him have succeeded.
The sociological purpose OF
the undertaking, in fact, is to

What One Grange Did

About four years ago grange war
organic ed at the Missouri State coz
lege. and it's members We're composed
Of teachers and pupils. 1t grew and
fourished, disseminating grange prin-
ciples all over the state, for when a
member leaves school and goes to his
home community, which has no grange,
his first desire and ambition is to call
together his friends and neighbors and
organize a grange. as he has learned
with other things at college that
farmer needs school right at his
home. where he can discuss his mutual
interests and keep abreast with the
times. After this grange at the col
lege was organized the enrolment at
the college increased 227 per cent
within two years, and it required If
teen new men in the various depart
ments to take care of this increase.
There is little doubt that the grange
played an important part in securing
this increase, for through It's influence
a greater interest was created In adj
vanced agriculture.

DIsILLUSIONED!

Governor Lister lost no energy
in accepting the resignation" OF
commissioner of Agriculture j..
H. Perkins.
Indeed, he is believed to have
made it very clear that he had
had all of the incompetent Ritz
Vile schoolmaster that he could
assimilate without danger to the
administrations digestive sys-
tenn.
Jay Ach was decidedly a misfit.
The farmers were provoked to
LAUGHTER or stirred with disgust
everywhere he went. The tax
PAYERS rebelled against having
such person unloaded upon
them as an expert agriculturist.
Protests we're statewide and they
increased with each day that the
commissioner. sailed forth and
attempted to play a role for
which he was so poorly fitted.
The first complaint of conse-
Guence came from Whatcom
county, and followed the indecent
and unwarranted removal of
Dairy Inspector Van Houten aft
er Van Houten had closed a dirty
dairy in this county.
Then came the State Fair scan
dial at North Yakima when the
Encouragement of that fair under
Commissioner Perkins direction
exhausted the biennial appro-
priation. And again there were
talks of misconduct and stories
of the discharging of competent
subordinates to make way for
personal favorites who are even
less competent, if that is possible,
tnan the commissioner himself.
Naturally this was proving dis
astrous to the department, for
which the legislature had appro-
priated S2S7,000.
Complaints poured in upon the
governor. Political leaders heard
the rumblings and protested
I he Grange and citizens general
ly made objections, and, when il
was impossible to further carry
the weight of this unhappy ap-
poIntment, the governor was af-
forded relief through an enforced
resignation.
Two months after j. H. Per
kins' appointment the American
Peveille directed attention to the
danger to the department. This
newspaper was derided by some
of the ''tools" of the administra-
ton, including two or three
NANCY little newspapers. But
the people began to watch Per-
kins and they found that this
newspaper was entirely justlnou
in its estimate of the man.
The thinking people are think
ing!
Governor Lister has corrected
a mistake. He has been disillu-
stoned. If ne will correct few
more mistakes he will not only
render the state a service but he
: will deserve to be commended fol-
cleaning his house of useless and
unseasoned NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The MiddIeman's Profit.


The National Grange Monthly in
recent issue recited the experience of
a farmer who sold his seed rye to
village merchant for so cents bushel.
Another farmer wanted to buy some
seed rye and went to the store and
bought the identical rye that was sold
for so cents by paying $3.50 per bushel
for it. And the two farmers who sold
and purchased the rye lived on the
same road and less than mile and a
half apart. The grange paper asks for
a remedy. There are two or three or
more things that might have prevent
ed such a condition. If there was a
village paper in that neighborhood an
advertisement Of ''Seed Rye For Sale
might have saved that buyer some
money. incidentally let it be said
that farmers do not make use of the
advertising columns of their local pa
pers as they should for their own
good. Or If there was grange In
that community then some kind of an
advertising scheme should have made
known to all members what some OF
the members have to sell and others
want to buy. This could be done in
open grange or by bulletin board.

REAL COOPERATION.

Method by Which California Orange
Growers Market Their Fruit.
The oranges discuss the question OF
co-operation a good deal, and really
they are not accomplishing as much as
they should with the organization that
thew have. And yet this is not saying
but that some of them are accomplish
ing a good deal. AS an illustration OF
raal cooperation the California Fruit
Growers Exchange stands pre-eminent.
There is one central exchange. which is
located at Los Angeles, with numerous
district exchanges all over the country.
The cost of maintaining these ex-s
changes. which means the total cost OF
running the business. is less than 22s
per cent per box on gross sales and
about 8 1-3 per cent per box on the re-
turns f. O. b. California. This Cali
fornia Fruit Growers Exchange Is
nonproft corporation and therefore de-
clares no dividends. Whatever IS
made in profits goes back direct to the
stockholders. At the end of each year
the central exchange. feyfes an assess
ment against each shipper for pro
rata share of the expenses on the basis
of number of boxes of fruit shipped.
This expense has never during the
twenty years. existence of the associa-
ton exceeded 3 per cent per box Of
the gross sales.
The transactions Of the exchange
amount to about SIT 100000 year. It
handles for the fruit growers $4,000
carloads of citrus fruits annually. To
be exact, it's shipments in 1912 amount
ed to 1861. 4S9.95. 1t has 600 agents
and representatives. It's telegraph
tolls amount to nearly $4,000 year.
It's advertising cost 100000 in 1912.
The cooperative plan is simplicity it.
SELF First. there is the local associa-
ton. usually made up of about fifty
growers, owners Of about 500 acres of
fruit This association owns its own
packing house. where the fruit is as
sembled, graded and packed for~mar-
ket Second, there is the district ex-
change, which is federation of To-
cal associations conveniently located
There are sixteen of these district Or
ganizations.
They act as clearing houses for the
local associations, with the central ex-
change at Los Angeles. The third is
the Los Angeles exchange, over which
and over all the exchanges G. Harold

nected several years ago with the ag

ODD PAIR IN MICHIGAN TOWN

Muskegon (Mich.) Special to the New
York Sun.
Muskegon claims an individual dis
tinction in being the home of the short
est man and also of the tallest man in
Michigan.
Moses Peltier and Henry Gravengood
the two men said to be the shortest
and tallest, respectively, in Michigan,
are probably as great extremes in the
height line as are to be found in the
United States The former is just 4
feet l inch tall, while the latter scrapes
the measuring scale at feet inches.
F Gravenwood is a man of exceptional
strength, and Is a butcher. In spite of
his great height he is known as ono of
the most powerful men in Muskegon
and has made a number of exceptional
records in his work.
Peltier. although having no regular
occupation, has a number of odd jobs
on hand which keep him busy. His
small size does not seem to interfere
with his doing the work of any other
man.
Both Gravenwood and Peltier have
received from shows numerous offers of
high salaries if they would appear as
attractions. These have been promptly
refused by both men, however.

Birmingbam's Payemehts

Il want to compliment Birmingham
upon the excellent character of its side
walk paving in the business part OF
the city," said visitor at the Hill
man yesterday.
II am from New York; and We New
Workers. you know, are pretty apt to
think we are the whole show. But Bir-
mingham has even got Broadway
skinned in the matter of paving. Your
sidewalks. i notice, are mostly concrete
with an occasional octagonal tile; but
/ have not seen one of those square or
oblong stone slabs that so disfgure the
Great White Way Not only are those
slabs unsghtly, but they soon become
worn in the center and form little bowls
for holding water when it rains; and wet
feet always follow a stroll down Broad
way after storm. The people of Bir-
mingham should congratulate themselves
on their sidewalks"

Sunday Picture shows

1.-THE moving picture houses of Mont
gomery, Mobile, New Orleans and many
other southern cities are operated on
Sunday" said A. J. Clark, proprietor
of the Freezer cafe of this city, "and
see no harm that could result from
allowing picture theatres of Birming
ham a similar privilege for Sunday,
after church hours, provided that no
pictures of such a nature as to con-
flict with the spirit of the day are
shown.
'In the first place the force required
to run "a picture show is very small,
and the amusement afforded is not of a
hoisterous or unseemly character, and
| is oftentimes highly instructive. Also,
while the churches of this city are we'll
attended and religious rites observed
| in spirit as well as form, part of the
| day of rest is always given over to
recreation among the working people,
and l know of no more innocent pleas
ure than walk through the city, and
perhaps an hours rest while observ-
| ing the film
"Othe: reasons might be advanced.
Many people from nearby towns and
surrounding territory VINO are very
busy OH week days would often enjoy
an cutting to the city, perhaps coming
early enough to attend some of the
great churches and after the lunch
hour taking i'll some of the picture
shows ] am thoroughly familiar with
mining camp life and know that both
the operators and laborers desire that
needed recreation be taken on Sundays
when no time and earning power Is
| lost. Thousands of Sunday visitors
would flock to Birmingham from the
surrounding mineral district if the
quiet recreation in question were al
lowed OF course many merchants, no.
tells and restaurants would be bene-
| fitted in financial way; but this is
| beside the question, for it Is up TO
the people to decide the justice OF the
case"
