The Democart man returned from
work in the harvest fields at Lam
bert Kern's last Friday evening, hav-
ing finished cutting at noon that day.
Aside from beautifully blistered face,
which he is afraid will ruin his hand
some appearance for some time-he
stood the strain in pretty good shape
and is egotistical enough to imagine
that he did almost a mans work.
Harvesting was not exactly a picnic
this year on account of the excessive
ly hot and windy weather, and some
Of the farmers had considerable trou.
bit in keeping a full crew on account
Of the men who we've not used to the
heavy work giving out.

STATE GRANGE CHIEF CLEARS FARMER OF BLAME
 FOR HIGHER LIVING COST

would be establisheds in the near fu- ture.
 ssOur territory is small and most of it is so well organized that a grange hall is within easy access of every farm home,'' he continued. s.Yet we are at a loss to understand why the farmer and his family, in some districts, are slow to avail themselves of the advantages of such an organi- zation; because a good live grange the, church. and social conditions of any community.
 CHANGED PROBATE FEE
 In regard to matters of legislation he said that, while the legislative committee had labored during the last session of the general assembly to prevent the passage of some bills which they believed were opposed to the best interests of agriculture, their efforts were not as successful as could have been desired. It was through grange influence, however, he added. that the law reducing the probate fees on estate of $1,000 and less to $10
 Formerly 1t costs the estate $39 if the judge chose to exact it, he said.
 The necessity of good ritualistfc work as a means of promoting and holding interest in the order, the
 
 cultural community, the mission of the grange In the community and the economic necessity of good roads to the public including the farmer were all emphasized.
 ESTABLISHED NEW LINES
 While the state has done much along the line Of good roads in estalb- fishing trunk lines in Connecticut, in larger cities. (and in many sections the smaller towns) there is still much to be done,'' he said.
 Recalling that last year the state grange authorized the paying to the trustees of the Connecticut Agricul- tural College a sum not to exceed $1,000 from which money should be loaned to students at the college who needed the aid, the state master apr pealed for additional contributions from granges and stated that another thousand dollars could be added c the fund. A levy of five cents by all subordinate Pomona granges in the state, would bring about the desired result.

Hartford Jan. 13-The Connecti- cut State Grange began it's 29th an- nual session at Foot Guard Hall at II o'clock this forenoon with a large at tendance of delegates from the var fous state granges. It opened in the fifth degree with State Master J. A. Sherwood presiding. State Master Burdette A. Peck, of Bristol. who was elected Master in 1912, (elections be- ing held bi-ennially) died suddenly 2 few months later and MT. Sherwood state overseer, has since been acting master.
 Reports of officers were submitted by the officers at the afternoon ses- sion. While the afternoon session or the grange was in progress, con ference of lecturers was held in Unity Hall in charge of State Lecturer F. F. B1akeman.
 At the session this evening the sixth degree will be conferred in full form on a large class. Sessions W III be held tomorrow Ohicers will be elected Wednesday morning.
 COOPERATION URGED
 Co-operation between the farmer and the consumer was urged by State Master J. Arthur Sher od in his am nuals address, as an e14ective means of reducing the Thigh cost of. living Hsserhe great need of the country to- day. he said. "is, to bring the pro- ducer and the consumer closer to- gether. In order to do this, it is nec- essary that the most friendly relations exist between these parties. sAt the farmers' door is often laid the blame for the present high cost of living The farmer is not the one to blame. When you stop to consider what he receives only 40 percent. of the consumers dollar, then where is the blame?
 .sOnly when the consumer combines with the farmer in the solving of this problem will it be settled satisfac- tori1y.'
 GRANGE IS GROWING The year just closed, he said, has been one of continuous growth for the grange. Two new granges had been added but that did not fully rep resent the growth of the organizat ton as there had been steady addition to the membership throughout the year. The new granges instituted were at Darien and Franklin and there were indications that two more

Leeds, Eng. Jan 13.-The citizens of Leeds who. since Dec. 31 have been acting as amateur lampfighterss gas and electric workers. street car driv- CTS and conductors and street sweep CTS. have won their fight against the striking municipal workers who today agreed to accept unreservedIy ths terms offered by the municipal coun- ell.
 The men had demanded increased wages, but when professional and business men, including doctors, law yers and cIergymen, took up the vari- ous municipal duties in relays and ex- pressed their determination to con- tinue the work, the men gave in and said they would return to work at their former wages if the council would reanstate all the strikers
 This the council refused to do and the men finally yielded today when the council agreed to give work imme- diateIy to about half of their number and take the rest Of them back when opportunity offered.

Probably nothing is more stimulating
and genuinely tonic to sufferers. espe-

the feeling that in spite OF their own
helpIessness they themselves can still
be helpful to others. The Shut-in so
ciety in this country has made life
more bearable for many persons who
are confined to their rooms or their

they can scarcely help but envy. To
be brought into touch with those for
whom they themselves can feel is a
precious source of consolation and up
lift. Pity Is a luxury TO be enjoyed.
but no human being likes to be pitied
or to feel that he Is an object of pity.
