and all connected with farm worl
would join in united effort for tn,
betterment of rural conditions?
The ten percent Of farmers that are
organized secure more Legislation
benefitting agriculture than the nine.
ty percent that are unorganized--
Governor Nash.
There has been more progress ir
agriculture since the organization OF
the grange than in the $50 years pre-.
ceding Woodruff.
There is but one remedy Ito secure
just legislation for farmers), and that
is through compact organization of
the agricultural classes" - William
Mckinley.
The Outlook
No one will deny the need Of such
an organization as the Grange. Its
opportunities for service are create
than ever. It's ability to serve is
greater than ever before. 1t will
continue to lead it's members in adj
vanced educational thought and ac-
ton, developing the mind and heart
to full realiza ton of the best things,
seeking to make Of each member a
moral and intellectual power.
The Grange needs and deserves the
cooperation and assistance of every
person interested in agriculture, and
those outside the gates need the adj
vantages accruing from membership
even more.
The welfare of our country and of
agriculture demands of every farmer
his best thought and action. There is
no way in which these can better be
secured than by working with others
who seek the same ends.
WE ASK YOU TO JOIN WITH US.
and by so doing you will serve your
self, your fellowmen, your community
and your calling; and through this ser
vice you will better serve your coun-
try.
Such in brief is the story of the
work of the Grange. Thousands of
have been benefited by
it's work. Millions of people have
been helped mentally, socially and fin
ancially by membership in it. Every
farmer in the country today is en-
ioying things that he would not have
enjoyed had it not been for the legis-
ative efforts of the Grange. Now and
hen, some one will say that the work
IF the Grange is about over; that 1t
$ no longer needed. But the fact
s that it is needed more today thar
At any time within the last half CEN
:ury. All who have thoroughly stud
ed the lofty principles upon which it
$ founded, and who believe in bet
;er agriculture, higher civilization
md a better and nobler manhood and
agree that the Grange
will always be needed-that it should
,e perpetual.
Come, join with us in this grea, an /
grand organization that is doing so
much to make farm life and farm work
the most healthful, the most useful,
md the noblest calling of man'-The
Grange needs YOU-YOU need the
Grange.

man Pooler appeared much outraged
by this book. 1t was published
anonymously because it treats of the
very beautiful marital relations of q
prominent New Highlander of ,ayfower
stock. When the book first appeared
it created great deal OF comment.
The only unfavorable comment was
that it was probably unfair to the wife.
The man told his part Of the story
and explained how he failed to make a
full response to the love of his wife.
Some critics have said ne was an
egoist. and we were, therefore. inter-
ested to know what his own wife had
to say on this point. We wrote her
and received letter in reply"
The letter received by Mr.. Livericht
from the authors wife said in part:
Sometimes when | read the criticism
OF book know like I think we have
no literary critics in America, but only
band Of self-appointed censors of
public morals of the deepest Puritan
dye. in what other country would a
book having claim to consideration on
aesthetic grounds be met with an or
slaught on the authors character :?
The Story of Lover is the story Of
a personal experience, but written by
an artist If you must dssect the
authors character, cannot one get one
beautiful glimpse through and behind
his words?
He often tells me that he is mon
ster of egotism and selfshness, but l
don't believe him. Do YOU want to
know the truth about him? He is a
lovable and charming being Beyond
that he is soul never satisfied with
less than the best, with less than his
ideal of beauty. therefore not meant to
be content in this life with imperfect
realization. And We, you even deny
him to be a lover because of his book,
in which he makes you see the woman
as pretty. fair and right, and himself as
wrong. Yet /, his wife, loved his book
because it is pure, beautiful and true,
a book that comes naturally from life"
Mr. Liveright produced also letters
from European writer's in praise Of the
book.

of the New York branch of the Com

charges Of criminal anarchy.

of internationalism as laid down by the
manifesto at Moscow, and he said he did
He also told me he belonged to the

defendant told him. Browne went on

would upset the investment values.
Speaking for the railroad employees,
Donald r. Richberg, repro senting
Glenn E. Plumb, author of the Plum b
plan for railroad ownership, expressed
surprise that the executives and Sc
curity owners should advocate con-
struction of the act mot as it is writ
ten but as it would have been but for
a misconceptions" He said the interest
OF the employees in the valuation of
the roads lay in assuring a return suf-
ficient to provide operating expenses
which could meet the reasonable wage
requirements Of the workers. He de-
MED that Congress intended an i'm
mediate valuation should be made, and
called the property investment account
evidence of minor Importance"

Opposition to subdivision of the
Western classification group of roads
to form a Southwestern subdivision
for the purpose of the new rate adjust

II Firez,1en FeIled
Bv Tobacco Fumes

Fumes from burning tobacco leaf
overcame eleven firemen fighting a
blaze last night at 372 Broome Street.
Three of them did not regain con-
seriousness until twenty minutes after
they had been carried from the build
ing.
Several cigar factories occupy the
brick structure, which is six stories In
height. Engine Company 55, with a
personnel of eight men, was the first
to reach the scene and the entire crew
ran into the smoke filled building,
heading toward the second floor, where
the flames had their origin.
Halfway up the stairs six of the
eight collapsed and their two comrades
were barely able to stagger to the
street just as Engine 80 drew up. The
men attached to this apparatus rushed
to the rescue of those who had fallen
on the stairway, but five of them met
the same fate.
The most seriously affected by the
fumes were Captain John Brennan and
Fireman Nicholas O'Brien, both Of En-
CINE So, and Fireman John Costello,
OF Engine 80. The others felled were
Captain Louis Graves and Firemen
Frank Shields, Louis Chapon, Matthew
Sahina, William Kredler, Patrick
Crane, Patrick Rogers and Lawrence
Shea. Ambulance surgeons from St.
Nincent's Hospital treated them in En-
CINE House IS.
Three alarms were turned in before
the fire was extinguished. The damage
was estimated at $4,000

$780, 900, 100000 Suggested

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The In
terstatc Commerce Commission to-day
heard representatives of the railroad
executives and employees on methods
to be employed in determining the val
uation of the roads on which an annual
net return of 5k per cent is guaran-
tced for the next two years by the
transportation act.
The commission is to determine
whether the adjustment shall be for
the carriers as whole. or in rate
groups, or in territories to be desig-
mated by it, and what methods shall be
employed in determining the aggregate
value Of the railroad property.
At the same time the committees
representing the railroad corporations
and the sixteen railroad unions COM
pleted the formation of joint railroad
wage board to consider the wage de-
mands of 100000 workers made last
August which have been twice before
the President without a settlement
being reached. Il. P. White, of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, was made
chairman. The board began its work
lmmeOlaCely.
Congress has made it imperative that
an Immediate valuation of the roads
be made, A. P. Thorn. general counsel
for the Association of Railway Execu-
tives, told the Commerce Commission.
Property investment accounts and ma
terlal and supply accounts he declared
to be the minimum conservative figures
now susceptible to use. Data being
gathered by the commission under the
Federal valuation act are incomplete, he
said, and should not be considered in
the present problem.
Estimate Is 100000 100000
Estimating at $4,000, 100000 the to-
tai value of the properties. Mr.. Thorn
declared that overstatements in the
railroads accounts filed with the COM
mission would be more than offset by
the rise in values in the last two years.
He said the public was accustomed to
use these accounts in making their in

1t is expected that further pressure

The opposition apparently is purely
local. 1t is particularly strong in Sus-

where people generally are displeased
with the new school regulations, which,
it had been thought, might overcome
the large percentage of illiteracy in
