A Dream of Winter.

Old cold days of winter comm
Dom it make you sOrta sigh!
Flocks of blackbirds goin bummin'
Southwark down a cloudy sky.
Autumn, while it S sorta checrin
And a mighty pretty sight,
Still it hints of winter nearin
With chopin AK in sight.
Don t old winter keep you hoppin'?
Poles so tough it seems to me,
IN condemned to go on chopin
Stove wood through eternity!
Ever since | shucked my tccny
Little baby bibs and sacks,
Seems to me We had the swccny
Just from swingin that burned ak.
Just from swingin it, or haulin'
Some old cross-cut through the log;
Have it hang and stand there maulm'
Iron wedges like a dog.
Still at that some fool IT trill of
Rural joys and sweet content.
Tell you what, l we had my fill of
All such idle merriment.
Old cold days of winter comm
On you sure as age and death,
Naked cottonwoods hummin
Till they purt nigh take your breath.
Autumn, while it S sorta cheerin
And a mighty pretty sight,
Still it hints of winter nearin'
With that chopin AK in sight

Golden Jubilee of Grange.

Thousands of sturdy American farm
crs with their wives and daughters
were the honored guests of the national
capital last week on the occasion of
the annual meeting of the golden jubi-
lee celebration of the National Grange,
Patrons of Husbandry, in whose ranks
are enrolled more than million of
the most practical agricultural experts
in the world. The meeting was de-
voted largely to the celebration of the
fiftieth anniversary of the organiza-
ton and at the several sessions a num-
Der of speakers of national prominence
were heard. The National Grange origi-
mated in the mind of o. II. Kelley, n
man of New England birth, who went
to Minnesota in his early manhood and
became farmer. In 1864 he was ap-
pointed clerk in the department of
agriculture in Washington.
In January, 1866, Mr.. Kelley was
commissioned by Isaac Newton, com
missioner of agriculture, to visit the
Southern states for the purpose of OBJ
tanning statistical and other informa-
ton in regard to the condition of the
South. While travelling in this capac-
ity the thought of a secret society of
agricultursts for the protection and
advancement of their interests came
to him.
Soon after returning to Washington
he consulted several men with whom
he was associated, and as a result of
these Investigations and consultations
the basis of the organization was laid
December 4, 1867, with the following
persons present who have since been
known as the "Seven Founders of the
Order': o. II. Kelley, William NJ.
Saunders, the Rev. A. B. Grosh, Will
liam NJ. Ireland, the Rev. John Trim
BILE, j. r. Thompson, and F. NJ. Nc
Dowell. These men were, with but
two exceptions, born upon a farm and
were at that time holding positions
in the agricultural, postoffice and treas
ury departments of the government.
The officers chosen at this basic or.
ganization were William Saunders.
master; j. r.. Thompson, lecturer; and
o. II. Kelley, secretary.
The first subordinate Grange regu.
larly chartered was organized at Ere
donia, N. Y, April IS, 1868. The first
state Grange established was in Mime.
sofa, February %, 1869. The first meet
ing Of the National Grange as a dele.
S"'' bodD WAS Htll dl GEORGETOWN,
ID. c., January 8, 1873 with delegates
present representing / states.
The organization has been estab-
lishcd in nearly every state of the I'M
ion, there having been over 10000 char
tcrs for subordinate Oranges issued.
The total membership at the present
time is not known because of the vast
number that fail to pay annual dues,
but it is estimated at considerably
over 100000.
The present officers of the national
organization, all of whom were ex-
pected to take part in the anniversary
exercises last week, are; Master, o.
w. Wilson of Peoria, ILL.,. oversecr w.
ii. Vary of WatertOwn, N. Y; lectur-
err, George w. f. Gaunt of Mullica Mill,
n. j.; steward, +. C. Bancroft of Wyo-
ming, Della; assistant steward, j. A.
Sherwood, Long Hill, Conn; chaplain,
a. j. Reardon of McLouth, Kans.;
treasurer, Mrs. Eva S. Mcdowell of
Wellesley, Mass, and secretary, G. NJ.

Foreign Workers Well Trained.

John Barrett, who has recently re-
turned to this country from England
and France, states that his visit
abroad has convinced him Of the re.
markablc increase in manufacturing
efficiency abroad His conviction is
that the European countries "wil be
better fitted to build up their trade
and maintain successful competition
in foreign countries and especially in
Latin America than they were even
before the war. The idea has been
promulgated that the nations now at
war will be so completely wrecked
that there will be no possibility of
competition in that direction for MANY
years. But careful Investigators are of
the same mind with Mr.. Barrett and
are giving close attention to the out
look.

Use of Potatoes in Making Bread.

Baking specialists of the depart
ment of agriculture recommend more
general use of potatoes in making
bread. Where potatoes are plenty and
cheap economy can be practiced in max
ing potato bread, at this time when
wheat flour is so high. In their expert
ments the government experts made ex-
cellent bread with three pounds of pota-
toes and two and one-half pounds of
flour. They have formulated three
recipes for doing this, which can doubt
less be obtained by writing to the de-
partment of agriculture in Washington.
In this part of the country, however, the
price of potatoes does not invite such
experimenting.

NORWICH UNIVERSITY NOTES.
Athletic Rules for Vermont Colleges.

A movement was inaugurated last
year for the purpose of adopting rules
and regulations governing the athletic
relations between the three colleges OF
Vermont. Norwich university has had
an active part in this movement and q
conference was held by representatives
of Norwich, Middlebury college, and the
University of Vermont last year. Rules
were drafted, but owing to various de
lays, they were not signed by all three
colleges prior to the football games
this fall. 1t is fully planned that those
rules shall be put in effect, which refer
cncc will place all three colleges on the
same basis. 1t is a matter of fact that
all three colleges were on the same
basis this year, as far as eligibility of
students playing on the various teams
is concerned.
The Norwich university team had no
one in the games with the University
of Vermont or Middlcbury who had not
been at the university a part of two
college years except freshmen, al
though one man had not completed two
full semesters work, but was a cadet
for the last semester last year, and had
been i'll attendance at college for this
There is no difference of
opinion, so far as the authorities of
Norwich and the other two colleges are
in regard to the qualifca-
tions of the students who participate in
athletics within the
state.

was learned at Camp Ordway last night.
Extra pay for length Of service, in
creased pay for rife qualification, and
many allowances not now given the

Comptroller OF Treasury will probably
be necessary to obtain a construction of
the law, to this effect

That the militiaman is entitled to the
treatment accorded the regular after he

is shown by section 451 of the United
States Army Regulations, which state
that the militia, when called into the
actual service Of the United States, Is en-
