NATIONAL GRANGE
MEETS in BOSTON
NEXT NOVEMBER

AS plans for the big National.
1919 assumes definite shape, it is
clear that the two outstanding fea-
lures will be the comforting of the
seventh degree, and the splendid ex-
hibit of New England agricultural
products that is to occupy the entire
exhibition hall Of Mechanics Build
ing-and be open entirely free to
everybody for four days. Besides all
the other attractive features of the
brig national gathering, these two are
sufficient to draw a. big crowd, and
the estimate of 10000 Grange mem
bers brought to Boston for the event
seems fully warranted, besides all
those not members of the Order who
will come to see the agricultural
show.
Definite announcement is made
that the seventh degree will be con-
ferreid at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon
and at Z O'Clock in the evening on
Friday, November IL, with a total of
10000 candidates in the two classes
conf IDENTIFY expected. In addition to
the great New England crowd for the
degree, 1000 candidates are promised
from New York, several Pullman car
loads are coming from Michigan and
not less than 80 states will probably
be represented among those who take
the degree. Thus it will not only be
the largest initiation in numbers ever
carried out by any fraternal organ
ization in the United States, but the
amount Of work and liberal outlay
will be put into the stage settings for

CLOTHES STOLEN:
WORE PAJAMAS
(By International News Service.

(By International News Service)
Oakland, Cal, Sept. 29.-Attired in
pale lavender pajamas wearing a
straw hat and carrying a. bamboo cane
in one hand and a collar and tie in
the other, a passenger left the train
at the Sixteenth street station here,
dashed wildly through the station out
to a taxicab and was speeded away.
Today the unconventional traveller
had been identified.
He was Julius I4andsberger, wealthy
president of the Hunt Brothers Can
ming Company, and he was returning
from a trip to Exeter, Tulare County,
where he had been inspecting one of
the company's plants. He brought
back a fine report, but nothing much
else besides his pajamas. The, en-
barassment of the bystanders in the
station was equalled only by his own.
Landsberger found that he was at
dreless when he woke up on the
way to Oakland. Hence the dash to
the taxicab. When he reported the
theft to the police, on his way home,
he had to remain in the taxicab
while the desk sergeant came out of
the station.

CORN BORER HAS
DAMAGED CROP
TO GREAT EXTENT
(By International News Service.)

(By International News SeTvlce.)
Washington, Sept 29.-The United
States is threatened with invasion by
an armed enemy. This enemy, the
European corn borer, however, is not
equipped with rifles, machine guns
or artillery, but with a probocis, a.
weapon which threatens the great
est corn crop ever grown in the
world. The corn borer has made IT'S
appearance in Canada, according to
an announcement by the Departm ent
of Agriculture, and has occupied an
area extending from Niagara Falls
to st. Thomas.
To meet the threatened incursion
of the pest the department has sent
a staff of specialists from the Bureau
of Entomology to Michigan, where
they will devise means to protect the
American crop. Portions of New
York, New Hampshire, Massachu-
sets and Pennsylvania already are
under quarantine to prevent the
spread of the insect westward. Corn
has shown itself particularly suscep-
tible to injury by this insect.
