grade again after some reverses.
They are to have big rally and
homecoming the latter part of May.
Members of the Grange from all parts
of the state will be glad to hear this
good news as there is great interest
in this Grange, both from the stand
point of sentiment and historical
value,
Deputy c. H. Anderson of L'Anse
reports the reorganization of Coving-
ton Grange in Baraga county, with
charter list of Is. Nels Peterson is
the newly elected master and r. ].
Howes, secretary. Located in the
midst of rapidly developing agri-
cultural section, there is bright
prospect ahead for this Grange.
North Leoni Grange, 1853, of Jack
son county, recently dedicated its
fine new Grange hall. This Grange
was organized five years ago and has
had very successful career. It's
present membership is 100 and 200 is
the aim before the close of the year.
One feature of this new Grange hall
is room especially fitted up for the
accommodation of flourishing juve-
nile Grange. A very interesting and
well written history of the Grange
was read by Lewis E. st. John,
former secretary. Visitors were pres
ent at the dedication from Hanover,
South Henrietta, Minard and Spring
port Oranges. S. E. st. John is di-
recting the work of this Grange as
master very efficiently.
Urgel F. Asselin, master of Norway
Grange, in Dickinson county, assisted
by John F. Wilde, former Grange
organizer of Michigan, has organized
two new Oranges in Dickinson county,
Iron Mountain Grange and Twin Falls
Grange. One has a charter list of 80
and the other 80. j. j. Eskil is the
newly installed master Of Iron Noun
tain and Ray Peterson of Twin Falls.
These two new Oranges make total
of six for Dickinson county.
Ottawa Grange, No. 80, is to OBJ
serve the 10th anniversary of its or
ganization with an all-day session
Saturday, June 9Th. This Grange is
located at Harrington, Ottawa county
and is finely equipped with a commo-
dious and home-like hall. 1t has had
a very successful history and it's an
niversary meeting will be largely at
tended and full of interest.
Hanover Grange, No. 698, of Han
over, Jackson county, is enjoying a
fine growth under the direction of its
master, J. w. Hutchins, former Sec
rotary of the State Grange. During
the winter their hall was destroyed
by fire and great encouragement pre-
vailed for a time. An opportunity
came to purchase the old school build
ing of Hanover and the Grange
grasped it. The exterior of the build
ing is TO remain as nearly unchanged
in form as needed repairs will allow
in order to retain the historical value.
This action on the part of the Grange
has aroused new interest in the or
ganization on the part of the citizens.
1t is certainly a worthy community
enterprise on the part of the Grange
and likewise a very practical move as
it secures for them that most valuable
possession, Grange home.
From several Oranges there come
reports of fine community interest in
the way Of assisting in the observance
of Memorial Day. Nothing can be
finer in the way of community effort
than such cooperation as this. The

POWDER PLANTS AND COTTON.

In ordinary years the powder plants of this country turn out 1O,OOO,OOO pounds of smokeless powder, in the manufacture of which they would con- sume 10000 bales of cotton lint. OW- ing to the enormous demand for ex- plosives in Europe the productive ca pacity of the Du Pont works alone has been increased to ten or twelve times the normal capacity Of all American powder mills. Germany, France and Russia use cotton lint al most exclusively in the production o1 their smokeless powder, and, although the other nations employing picrlc acid and coaltar products in larger measure, all use guncotton to some extent The estimate that 100000 bales of cotton (real cotton, for the manufacturers can not wait for the lint) will be turned into explosives this year seems moderate. This may explain the unexpectedly large export demand, which will probably approx innate 7,5OO,OOO or 8,OOO,O00 bales, in spite of the great curtailment in the cotton manufacturing industries of Europe consequent to the war. The fifty-seven warships in the Darda- nelles are "burning up cotton" at monstrous rate. A 12-inch gun uses 300 pounds of powder per shot, and it is theoretically possible for bat tleship to use from 5000 to 5000 pounds of powder. or from ten to twelve bales of cotton, minute by firing all it's guns. Battering the for tiflcations of Constantinople with so and so many thousand bales of cotton a day is rather reversal of Jack sons exploit at New Orleans Philadelphia Record.

GERMAN DYES F0R
 AMERICAN MILLS
State Department Secures Right To Bring Two Cargoes German
 Dyes To United States.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The State Department have completed ar rangements with the British and French governments for the shipment of two cargoes of dyestuffs from Hol- land to the United States. The dye stuffs were purchased by Americans from German manufa cturers prior to the order establishing a blockade against the German nation. The dyes had reached Holland but could not be shipped across the North sea un- til the American State Department arranged for the passage of the SUD- plies, which are badly needed by American textile manufacturers.
 The State Department estimates that fully 2,OOO,OOO textile workers and the allied trades depending upon them will be continued at work as result of the successful negotiations with the Allies.
 The textile manufac cturers recently called upon the State Department for aid, as they knew that if the dyes failed to arrive in the United States taht almost all the mills would be forced to close down.

EnqIand's Coal Problem.

LONDON, April 15.-The commit tee appointed by the Board of Trade to inquire into the causes for the rise in the assuming control of the output of the retail prices of coal for domestic use recommends that if prices do not return soon to a req sonable level the government should consider a plan for collieries during the continuance of the war. Mean time, it is recommended that export of coal to neutral countries be re- stricted, that steps be taken to pro- vide fuel for next winter. that freight rates charged on interned steamers taken over by the government be re- duced. and that all enemy ships con- demned by the prize court be used for the transport of coal.

TEMPERANCE IN WAR AND
 PEACE.

English opinion seems to be divld- ed as to the gravity of the drink question in it's relation to the war and to the supplying of the army il the field with men and munitions. The more responsible officials ascribe the utmost seriousness to it, but several of the London papers are evidently attempting to ascertain, by sending up trial balloons," whether or not public sentiment is demanding or would support the drastic prohlb1- tory measures they have in mind Several of the London papers, on the other hand, are as evidently lndls- posed to accept the implication that the English are a drunken people. and are carefully explaining that ex- cessive indulgence is confined to par ticular groups not directly engaged in the work for the army what come near to being excuses.
 There is no indication, at least ill the quotations from editorial articles hitherto cabled over here. of any be- lief or even suspicion that England wasn't getting along we'll enough, as regards drink, until the war came, or that after it is over there will be any great need for or utility in a change of the established habits. Yet it is a fact that, judged by Ameri- can standards, the amount of alcohol consumed by the middle and upper classes in England, as well as by the lower and lowest, is astonishing, and the war. instead of revealing the necessity for reform. has only en- phasized 1t.
 Here the new view as to the re- lation between drink and efficiency has spread through every social grade, and its manifestations are to be found, not only in the rapid ad- dition of state after state to the al. ready large "dry" area, but also, and even more, perhaps, in the changed habits of men who, without legal com pulsion and without becoming total abstainers, have come to realize that without all of the abilities, mental and physical, which they possess they cannot meet the competitive demands of these latter days. The employer demands strict temperance from his employees for reasons the cogency of which they admit, and both inter- est and consistency force it upon himself.
 So the king of Great Britain ob- viously thinks, else would he not of fer to Stop his own indulgence and voluntarily to make for his household regulations much like those drawn up in this country for all the men in several of our largest industries.-Ex.

vance of the original time set. This
means that the first practice session
for the 500-mile International Speed
way derby, set for Saturday, June 10,
will be held on June 2, nearly three
weeks in advance of the race.
The track proper will be given its
finishing touches by the latter part:
of this month and by May 80, or pos
sibly earlier, the last spike will have
been driven in the 100000 feet Of
lumber necessary in the construction
of this huge task.
David Beecroft, member Of the con-
test committee of the American Au-
tomobile assn, viewed the track and
predicted that with favorable weather
conditions a new American speed
way record would be created.
With the entry list closing on June
10, Director of Contests F. e. Ed
wards has been given assurances
that forty cars will be nominated.
This number will exceed te limit Of 81
permitted by the A. A. A. rules by 13.
Because of the large entry it will be
necessary to hold elimination trials
which have been set three days be-
fore the race. Twenty-seven cars in
action will be sufficient to furnish
plenty of excitement, as it is not the
number but the caliber Of car and
driver that makes great contest.
Seats were placed on sale yester-
day in various parts of Chicago, and
with an advance sale of 5000 already,
five weeks in advance of the race,
the association is confident that be-
tween 10000 and 100000 will see
the contest. Since Indianapolis drew

on run-making combination that

the batting order. And lead-off men
are not plentiful. Phelan is holding

BAD MAN FROM FRlENDSVILLE
Set Confluence Jail on Fire After
Futile Efforts to Deport Him.

A stranger hailing from Friendsvile
blew in here on Wednesday evening, and
being OF a convivial nature, before the
night was over he got hilarious and
made Rome howl. After a consultation
among the town officials it was decided
that the easiest way to get rid of him
was to buy him ticket to the Mary
land town of Friendsville, which was
done and he was put on board of the
tram, but he would not stay put. After
the train left the station he was found
meandering around the depot. A. L.
Bird S auto was then requisitioned and
race was started with Capt. George
Mickev's cannonball express, known on
the time table as train No. lat. By
hitting only the high spots the train
was overtaken at the City of Charles
ton, Fayette county. Here he was
again put on the train and babe bon
voyage. But after the police returned
to Confluence, they received a wire
less message from the Mayor of Charles
ton, that the man they deported was
still there and raising cain and unless
they came and took him away it would
be necessary to call out the Henry Clay
Militia and Moccasin Drum Corps. So
they brought him back and locked him
up, After they left him in durance vile
he attempted to burn the lookup and
had succeeded in burning blanket
when some children saw the smoke and
gave the alarm. Friday morning he
was sober, sorry and repentant and
was told what the state department
told the German minister of foreign
affairs, to be very careful in future
where he threw his bombs, as he might
hurt some one. He was then sent home
rejoicing. -Meyersdale Republican.
