ACTIVE GRANGE ORc

The extent to which some oranges
make themselves a community force
for the betterment of local affairs has
this spring been well illustrated in
the case of one rural town Grange in
New England. For a generation the
town has been known as one OF the
slow kind, and In this respect II has
quite a reputation. At the March
town meeting there were seven dis
trict articles in the warrant for bust
ness that represented a step forward
towards some community improve
ment, every one Of which had been
inserted in the warrant by Grange mi
tiative, following discussion and res
olutions in the local meetings Of the
order.
Further than that the agitation
reached as far as votes, for every
Grange member was promptly on hand
and put through to success every one
Of the seven improvement undertak-
ings. Such q thing could never have
been done except by unity of action,
and thus did the Grange demonstrate
its power for service In one Of the
thousands Of conservative" rural COM
munities Of this country. /.

Barge Captain In New York River
Keeps Rope Handy for "kids A.

Capt. William Brockway, in charge
Of the Mary Mccarthy, q grain
barge, lying at Sixty-third street and
the East river, believes in being pre-
pared for al emergencies, 60 when
John Caciopo fell of the stringpiece
and anne up gurgling and yelling
a. loud as his seven-year lungs would
let him the captain merely smiled.
Every one else ran around wildly.
That's easy" commented the cap
tain. He stepped to the cabin and
took from it's peg one Of the numer-
Gus coils Of rope hanging there. He
arranged it quickly but carefully,
whirled q big loop around his head
. few times and then dropped a nice
round circle over the suffering boys
head. He gave the rope a couple of
quick jerks, the moose frightened, and
in less than a minute from the time
the boy had gone overheard the cap
tain was pulling him out of the
water.
Policeman Brown had summoned
Doctor Beard from Flower hospital,
but when the physician arrived about
all the boy needed was a good spank
ing. His mother looked willing and
capable for that duty.
Il always have q rope with a moose
ready in SUMNER" said Captain
Brockway, as they took the boy away.

water-and I'm always pulling 'em
out. "-New York Herald.

A Little Talk on Ferdell Coffee

We sold enough coffee OF this popular brand to brew over
100000 cups Of coffee.
This means that over 1886 cups of this coffee was brewed
and drank every day Of the year
More than one cup Of this coffee to $500 people once
every week, for one year
Figuring 4 ounces to the cup this would make 100000 OF
or 1865 ID gal, or about l47 ID bbls. of coffee
This coming year we can safely say that we will sell enough
of this one brand to make over 100000 cups of coffee
Now there must be a reason for this coffee being sold and
used, and perhaps the greatest argument we can put
forth for this is that you try a package and find out for
yourself why there should be a demand for this brand
This is our 80 cent seller and is without question the best
coffee we can offer at this price
Are You One of Those Who Drank at Least One Cup
of This Brand Of Coffee
