 Dear Sir-A year ago you came to our town to make a speech. I went out to hear you, and l have been i'll ever since"
 The fact was the lady caught cold on the occasion in question, but she certainly did not refer to the matter in very diplomatic language.

The Meters Record.

A representative of the gas depart ment called on a householder and in- timated that he was afraid something was wrong with the meter. From the official point of view, of course, meters can only show one fault, and the symp- tom which had cast suspicion on this meter was that it had registered less during the quarter than in the core spending part of the previous year But the lady of the house has a con vincing explanation of the decline.
 You see,'' she said, my daughter was engaged last winter. She got married in June"

ORANGE AND FARM CREDIT.

Recent events have put the Grange
at the forefront In the struggle for
some system Of adequate rural credit,
which 10 now actively In progress 1t
Washington and the organization 10
recognized there a. the champion Of
the farmers Of the country, In their
effort to provide some means by which
reasonable interest rates can be se-
cured by the farm industry upon such
loans AZ 1t desires to make, for Inn
provements and for extensions.
Many bills are o pending before
congress that establish rural credit
plans of various sorts. but most Of
these have the appearance of being
framed to promote the banking inter-
ests OF the country, at the expense Of
the farmers. rather than by any sim
Ger purpose to help the farmer in
his need. Consequently the Grange is
strongly opposing many of these bills.
and is coming out sQuarely for a clear
farm credit policy.
