DUCHETTE FAILED TO
 APPEAR FOR HEARING

Joseph Duchette of Norwich, proprie- tor of the Hotel Nutmeg on Bank street, New London, failed to put in an appear ance at the office of U. s. Commissioner Frank L. Mcclure in that city and Tues day afternoon the hearing that was scheduled to take place regarding the alleged violation of the Volstead act by Duchette on June 24, was postponed.
 A warrant has been issued by Com missioner Mcclure for the arrest of Du- chette and as soon as it can be placed in the hands of a United States marshal who is on his way here. an attempt will be made to find and arrest the man.
 The bar of the Hotel Nutmeg was raided by federal prohibition agents on the eve of the Yale Harvard boat race and two quarts of rnoonshine whiskey found. Duchette was not arrested then but the liquor was coniiscated and sent to Washington to be analysed.
 The liquor having been found to con tain more than one-half of one per cent. of alcohol the hearing was called for Tuesday afternoon. No warrant had, however, been issued for Duchette's ar rest.
 A rumor to the effect that Duchette had sold out his interest in the Nutmeg hotel and had disappeared from the city set the authorities into action Tuesday. Efforts, however, to confirm the runor failed. and Duchette's whereabouts re- main unknwn.
 AS soon as he can be located the war rant will be served and the hearing held. Tn the event that probable cause is found, he will be bound over to the next term of the U. S. court in New Haven.

NATIONAL GRANGE KEEPING
 orr OF PARTISAN POLITIC

Actuated by the principle of refrain ing from political activities and guided by the belief that just at this time la bor organizations are guided by narrow motives of class selfshness and led by radical leaders seeking political changes detrimental to the principles of our gov ernment and true Americanism, the Washington office of the National Grange has issued a statement it will not par ticipate in partisan politics. The state ment says in part:
 The grange, whether in its subordi- nate bodies, its country, or it's state. or it's national organization, does not par ticipate in partisan politics The organic law of the grange prohibits grange from taking part in political nominations or during it's sessions discussing politi- cal candidates. The organic law governs the national grange, as well as the small est subordinate grange. It applies to the grange in any and every organized form and to every grange officer acting in a grange capacity
 "A newer generation not familiar with the history of the 'groundswe1 of the seventies or the farmers alliance of the eighties. is now active in public affairs. This wave of farmer activity in politics which is now at it's crest, is neither nov el, oS different. The grange has lived through two such experiences, witnessed the rise and wane of these efforts, meas ured their results and has seen it's own organization and membership weakened by the failure to achieve anything tan gible It is sound judgment based on the wisdom of the past, that keeps the grange out of politics.
