GRANGE IDIOTORIUL

There was a reglar mtg of the
Bingville Grange helt in the Bing-
vile Town Hall last Satterday
afternoon in the P NJ. which was
well attended by quite a passel OF
Changers from Bingville & visin-
itty and was CRATE sucksess.
Fer year or two, there several
yrs back the Bingville Grange was
in turrible run down condishion
being as the membership dwindeld
down to almost nothinI a tall from
nearly a hundred (1OO) members.
When the Grange 1st started in
Bingvi1le some fifteen yrs ago Cor
was it 20Git started with a awful
boost but after it had run along
a spell politicks crep in and then
It begin to go down hill. We have
allus notised that when politicks
creps in where there orient to be
no polyticks, then trubble is shure
to begin.
The trubble with the Bingville
Grange was that Cy Hoskins after
he was eleckted Presydent of the
Grange for the period of one yr,
refused to resine when his time
was up. Cy felt the inportants &
responsibility of the offs and
hung onto it fer three yrs. Then
several of the Grange members
got together and writ a letter to
| Cy stating that they thort it was
about time for him to resine &
give sumbuddy else a chanst. Soon
as cy resined then the Grange be-
gin to pick up agin which goes
to show that when Cy slept down
and out it was jest a good rid
dance of bad rubbish. AS for Cy
when he resined from the presi-
dency of the Grange he resined
from the Grange also and was as
mad as wet hen. Cy says he
wont newer agin darken the door
of whatever hall the Grange meets
In and that as fur as he is con-
cernd he hopes the dognashion
Grange will go all to smash.
Last Saturday as we have said
afore there was fine attendants
at the Grange consisting of the
leading citizens of Bingville and
the leading farmers of the sur
rounding visinitty to say nothink
of their wifes & children & dogs
(menny of whom got into fites)
ct cettery.
Several questshions of vitul in
trust to the farmer was DISGUST
as fer instants the follering:
'Whitch is the Best Way to Re
move Bugz from Potatoze ?"
Does Cow Punkins Make the
Best Punl1in Pies?"

posed to question the good faith of the recent unqualified assurance of the German government that her subma : rine commanders have been ordered to attack no more liners without warning.
 No Americans are believed to have been lost.
 Reports during the day from Ambas- sador Page at London added few de tails to the story told in the brief cablegram in which Consul Frost at Queenstown last night announced that the vessel had been torpedoad with the loss of about eight lives. The consurs statement that the ship carried on her stern a AZ inch gun, went unamended though the Allen line officials have de- clared she had no gun when she left Montreal.
 News that the crippled Fesperian fouhdered while being conveyed toward Queenstown dissipated the hope that an examination of the hull might prove beyond doubt the nature of the wreck ing explosion. The fact the vessel was struck forward when well outside the zone in which German submarines us- ually operate caused some veteran nav al officers to advance the theory she was struck by drifting mine.

Walsh chairman of the United states commission of industrial relations, in an address at the Labor day exercises at the Exposition. predicted that 1915 would show the dawn of an industrial democracy when all men and women would be absolutely free.

 Our work is epded. The remedies are yours-the people here in this au- dience and the people of the United States.
 If the workers will rise to the full light and win economic freedom it will be through their own efforts"
 Referring to acts of violence in the strike districts and the maintenance of private armies" by the corporations, Walsh said that if another congress meets and does not do away with such private standing armies he will not consider the congressional members the real representatives of the people of the country.
 Tn addition to the speaking of Walsh, who was orator of the day, there was a varied program, the entertainment consisting of submarine demonstra- tions off the Marina, aeroplant flights, athletic events, special musical pro- grams and in the evening a special fire works illumination.
 In the point of attendance the day promised to be one of the eXpOsition's largest At six o'clock this evening more than 150,0OO had passed through the turnstiles.

Berlin Hears the News

BERLIN. Sept. s.-News that the Hesperian had been destroyed by an explosion was published this afternoon. Definite statements that no lives had been lost and that the steamer floatei until this morning. caused the Ger man people to take the situation calm ly. and there were no indications of apprehension over any possible effect the incident may have on the Ger an-American relations.
 The newspapers abstain from com menting aside from advising readers in terms of a semi official announce r,lent to await more details but in the headlines they indicate strong doubt as to the accuracy of the press ac- counts of the circumstances. particu- larly as to whether the steamer was torpedoed as described in the dis patches -"Torpedoed" being printed with a question mark and one or two papers using headlines German Tor pedo or British Mine2''
 No report on the Hesperian from German official sources need he eX- pected for at least 9 week. as a sub marine operating in the waters off that particular part of the British coast belongs to a detachment re- gently sent out. The admiralty had nothing to say when asked whether any report had been received on the Arabic or whether the missing sub- marines had returned or was consid- cred lost

 That a desperate effort will be made to hold back the Carranza forces was indicated by the enforced enlistment of every member of the civil government as well as Mexicans, who sold supplies to the government.
 The Carranza consulate gave out a dispatch from Monterey declaring on the night of September 1, Generals Ob- regon, Gonzalo Novono, Louis Gutter reg, Rafael Zepeda; Huerta Vargas and General Maldonado formed junction with General Jacinto ThevinO's men, defeated the Villa forces and advanced on all the Villa positions in Coahuila, Obregon defeating a force near Saltillo, Trevino taking Icamole and Llorona, while the cavalry attacked Paredon, said to be the extreme end of the Villa line.
