Farmers are Joining Grange.
That the farmers in the vicinity of
Harrington are awakening to the in
terests is evidenced by the fact that
the Harrington Grange is taking in
new members at nearly each of its
sessions this spring. The same con-
dition is reported from nearly every
section in lower Delaware. 1t is a
good sign that farmers are looking
closer after their interests and adopt
ing the advice and experience of 9TH
ers who have been getting good re-
suits from farming, from fruit grow
ing and from poultry raising, as these
are told within the oranges. Every
land owner, be he farmer, renter or
landlord, should be an active member
of some grange. The discussions are
helpful to the men and the women
who really desire to have the best re-
suits which can be gotten. Two ap-
plicants were initiated into the de-
grees at the last session of the grange
at Harrington, and the growth next
fall should. be noteworthy. The sum-
mer meetings are not so largely at
tended because of the rush of work
during that season and the business
interests of the farmers.
Day Electric Current Is Needed.
The day has come when every town !
which uses electricity at all must
have a day current for mechanical
or commercial purposes. Recently
prospective locators of a manufactur-
ing business came to Harrington, to
look over the advantages Of a rural
town as a location for a small busi-
ness, 50 as to get away from the ex-
pe{snine va large city. They required

arlington could not meet
