THE GRANGE.
Vermont Phoenix.

The recent meeting of the State
Grange of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire, the former in Burlington and the
latter in Keene, has called renewed at
tenton to the Patrons af Husbandry,
undoubtedly the largest and most in
fluential farmers organization in the
world. Life in the rural regions lacks a
social side, and the Grange meetings
with their literary programs and de-
bates go a long way in providing this
important feature. The Grange is in
terested in all the various phases of
agriculture, its needs and its problems,
but its good work does not eud in try
ing to teach its members better farm
ing. The Grange stands strongly for
better methods of living, for temper
ance, for improved highways and more
efficient public schools, and its position
is usually right on all matters concern
ing public welfare. Vermont is better
and stronger and people in the State
are better contented on account of the
Grange and its activities. We believe
the organization will continue to grow
and prosper and to find still greater
fields for usefuldess.

That GOV. Mead has done a generous
deed in securing this valuable property
and devoting it to the community is
not less true than the fact that he
has by this gift made it possible to
carry on work of constructive good
citizenship and Christianity which
should continue long after he has joined
the great majority IN the "unds-
covered country from whose bourne no
traveller returns"
That he will live to see the plans he
has set in motion accomplish all the
good he hopes therefrom is the earnest
wish of the city and the fellowship
which he has so nobly remembered, and
assuredly such work and such an in
stitution will constitute a monument
more enduring than granite, more noble
IN bronze.

OUR NEW YEARS DAY AND
ITS SOLEMN ASPECT.

Who can fail to be impressed
with the solemn character of the
Jewish New Years Day? How diff
ferent our observance of such a
holiday is from that of the rest of
the world Judaism has made of
it sacred day of prayer and medi-
tation, of soul-searching and earn
est admonition. The entire service
is meant to make us sober and seri-
Gus. 1t tugs at our heart-strings,
makes them culver with emotion,
and brings tears to our eyes. And
all that on New Years Day, a day
commonly observed with festivity
and hilarity.
There is no doubt that Our re-
ligion, in stamping this sombre char
acter on this holiday, strikes true
note, and imparts to us most
wholesome lesson. 1t is natural
that on the first day of the year
we should think of the whole year
now before us, and by association OF
ideas, of Our future, Our whole life,
Of human life in general, and human
destiny. These are all serious
matters to be thought about seri-
ously.
What is there more serious than
human life; what more solemn than
human destiny? Think of the varied
experiences that life brings us, the
many changes, joys and griefs,
gains and losses, prosperity and ad
versity, pains and pleasures! Think
of the dark mystery of the future,
of the veil that shrouds even the
morrow from our gaze! Who can
tell what the morrow will bring us?
That in turn reminds us Of the per-

picking puzzle OF human destlny III
general. Why are some of us des-
tined to life of trouble and sorrow,
struggle and defeat? What does it
all mean, where does it lead to?
Think Of the seriousness OF all
these matters! Should they not
cause us moments of sober thought?
And mind you, it is not only the
course of the individuals life
that is so full of dark mystery, SO
problematic, so full of uncertainty
and change, but also the course OF
a nations life The individuals life,
therefore, being so intimately bound
up with the destiny of the nation
to which he belongs, becomes all
the more a matter Of grave import.
Look at the present European
war and consider how it affects the
destinies of the nations and the in
dividuals involved in it. Here we
see the full gravity and perplexity OF
human destiny. A little over a year
ago all was apparently calm, serene,
peaceful. Men and nations pursued
the even tenor of their ways in
tranquility and security. Fields and
orchards were smiling with plenty;
industry and commerce were -four
ishing, and populations were more
or less contented and happy. When
10, the sudden confagration broke
out And now, lands are devastated,
cities are in ruins, millions of men
are killed, or MANNED, or crippled,
or captives in exile; mothers hearts
are desolate, wives widowed, chill
dren orphaned, and the curse, the
havoc, the ruin, growing in volume
from day to day. Such is human
destiny!
Such experiences must have inn
pressed Our forbears most profound
ly. For our forefathers were reflect
i've, serious minded people, looking
at life with a clear vision and not
thru the rose-tinted glasses of light
mindedness and frivolity. They rec
ognized that life and life's destiny
were serious matters, so that even
occasions of joy were transformed in
their minds into solemn moments.
That accounts for the character Rosh
Hashono has assumed in our religi-
Gus economy.
1t is far cry from Palestine in
the first or second century to Eng
land in the seventeenth. Yet the spir-
it of Judea was after lapse of centu-

and destiny were solemn matters
to them, too. They had no use for
levity and frivolity. They covered
everything with sombre garb.
Christian holidays were observed
by them even as we Jews observed
our lawful days." The modern
festivities of Christmas and New
Years would have been abomina-
tons to them.
What made them take such
sombre view of life? Partly the
nurturing of their minds upon the
religious literature of the Jews, the
Bible, especially the Old Testament
which they took in all earnestness.
They actually wished to live as the
Old Testament heroes, prophets and
saints had lived. They determined
to follow their examples. And part
ly because they had gone thru the
same experiences of life as had our
forefathers, had encountered the
same stern realities, struggles for
liberty, freedom of conscience,
justice and righteousness. Their
souls had gone thru the fiery furnace
even as had those of our fathers.
The same human experiences gener-
ally develop in us the same ideas
and sentiments Hence the serious
solemn aspect of life that forced it
self upon their minds.
Now consider the consequences.
Our fathers have transmitted to us
heritage that has made Jews and
Judaism imperishable, while the
Puritans were the builders of two
great civilizations, two great democ-
racies, the English and the Ameri-
can. Shall we not give some credit
to the peculiar Hebraic view of life,
that thoughtfulness, seriousness and
solemnity so we'll illustrated by our
Rosh Hashono? "By their fruits
shall we know them"
To us moderns, however, both as
Jews and Americans, this sober Pur-
titanic or Hebraic view of life does
not appeal any more. We have de-
parted far from it in our thought
and feeling, for the conditions of our
life are so different. Prolonged
peace and prosperity have made us
light hearted and light minded. Life
has become a continuous round of
festivity for us, and we should not
be happy if it were not so. Our
young people are growing up in
such a giddy atmosphere. Their
minds are filled with thoughts and
desires of amusement and pleasure.

its own deliberate act. 1t represents
the revenge Of the COW for the i'll
treatment which man has bestowed
upon that luckless creature.
For many thousands of years cows
have been kept in wretchedly built
shelters and amid the most unclean
SURROUNDINGS Within comparatively
recent times there has been an awaken

with some measures Of reform, and in
exceptional instances the animals are
housed with all due regard Tor SANTA

estates of some Of our milltonaires COW
barns built of concrete, illuminated by
electric light, and in every way re-
spending to hygienic requirements.
Originally, doubtless, most cows were
at least relatively immune to tubercu-
losis. But this immunity has been di-
minished to such an extent IN the
course of many thousands Of years,
during which the animals have been
kent generation after generation IN in
sanitary surroundings, that nowadays
the infection spreads easily and rapid

Paris Women Change Gait
From Wrggle to Tripping

London. Eng, Jan. Paris women
are changing their gait
Says a correspondent from the
French capital:
an nothing has the woman Of Paris,
whose silhouette is copied all over the
world. changed so much as in her walk.
A short time ago she wriggled her way
along and her anatomy appeared to be
of the strangest. Today she is grad
uallv slipping back into her old habit
of tripping, and it suits her much bet
ter. Her figure is taking on its old
familiar lines, and the flat chest is
likely to disappear with the ungrace-
full wriggle.
when the old writers spoke Of "a
beautiful daughter of France the i'm
agination pictured something very diff
ferent from the quaint little people
who have grimaced the boulevards Of
late years, and it is quite probable that
with the return of peace we shall see
a return of the old-type Frenchwoman
in all classes And the revival will
benefit not only France. but the world
in general, for what the Frenchwoman
does today the women Of all the civ
ilized world DO tomorrow"

Louise ReprOves Helen for Being Lazy.
You lazy old thing. what do you
mean by sleeping so late in the morn
ing? Do you know it's the most Won

Helen explained that she hadn't slept
well and was trying to make it up.
Il don't do it often" she explained,
"but Nora and Warren both spoiled
me this morning"

But I really want to come, so 1

While she was dressing the thought
Of what Warren would say kept COM
ing up in her mind. He would be sure
to dislike her spending strenuous DAY
shopping when she was tired out, and
she had almost promised to stay IN
bed. Still she could get home early
and look as though she was feeling
well. and he would never know. OF
course. If he should ask she would tell
him, but she could add that she felt so
much better that she hated to spend
the whole of so lovely day in bed.
As she fastened her waist before The
mirror she began to plan mental list
as to what to give people What to
give Warren puzzled her most. He had
given her a handsome surprise last
year She ought to return it in some
way. And then there was Louise; she
must give her something lovely in re-
turn for the candlesticks. Christmas
in spite OF its joys, was great trial
The only things that she greatly en-
joyed buying were gifts for Winifred.
Somehow she was very glad about chill
dren at Christmas. This was Winl-
fred's first Christmas from home in
long time, and they must make 1t one
to be remembered.

way out Nora was busy and looked
up as she spoke.
