At largely attended meeting Show
hogan Grange entertained Supt Wood
bury. members OF the school board
and the teachers of the public schools
of Skowhegan on the evening OF Oct.
IS. The regular business meeting of
the Grange was held after which the
visitors were admitted In the abb
sence of the regular lecturer, Mrs.
Belle Emerson, a past lecturer, Mrs.
Kate C. Hill presided during the en-
tertainment hour. A song was sung
by Mrs. Maude Cool and an address of
welcome was extended by {. c. Cleve-
land master Of the Grange. Mrs,
C. b. Hight OF the high school faculty
responded, speaking appreciation for
the other teachers and stating that
never before within her knowledge
had secret order OF SkoWhegan en-
tertained the instructors. She spoke of
cooperation with the taxpayers and of
changed conditions for rural students
and added that never before had they
had so many pupils from the rural dis
tricts Mrs. Nellie r. Copp spoke
teacher and advocated not sending
children at too tender an age to the
public schools She wished the pa
rents would teach the children to
dress themselves, meaning by this
that she thought the children ought
TO be taught to put on their outer gar
ments and thus save the instructors
OF the lower grades much time and
trouble.
Clement Downes, supervisor OF man
ual training in the public schools.
took up the work in that branch Of
education, told of it's increase, of the
teaching of practical things, increase
of size and value of projects and the
needs for future room.
Mrs. Clement Downs, supervisor of
drawing, explained something of her
work in the schools and gave those
present some valuable information
upon drawing as it is carried out as a
study. In the course of her remarks
Mrs. Downes said that she was teach
ing the pupils to do something they
would have been punished for doing
years ago. as in old times the pupils
were not supposed to draw pictures
in school.
The next speaker was Miss Gladys
Hamor. teacher of Home Arts or as
she said Home Economics" She
defined this branch of school work as
scientific study of home building.

Advices from Department Of AgricuI-
ture

The following advices have been
received from J. Thomas Dionne, field
agent of the Division of Markets:
Economic conditions all over the
country in regard to agriculture are
such that serious thought should be
given to certain facts before plans for
next year are completed. More at
tention should be given the buying of
supplies for the raising of the 1923
crop, The old saying that Goods
well bought are half sold" is applica-
BILE now.
Long term payments for fertilizers
may mean considerable losses to the
firms who sell that way, and they in
turn must charge those who do pay,
enough to make up the loss We
hope that the management of the Far
mers' Unions and other agricultural
organizations in the state will give
this matter of cooperative cash buying
more thought than usual.
A few dollars a ton saved on fer
tiliZer or feeds through buying for
| cash is as much part of the profit
as that made on the selling end and
oftentimes the saving OF few dollars
an acre on the fertilizer may mean
! the difference between loss or profit
A direct appeal to the farmers on
this line of argument might reveal to
them a chance to recover from their
1921 and 1922 loshes by lessening their
1925 costs of production.
To those farmers who have NO sur
plus with which to take advantage of
cash prices the State Farm Loan Act
may make a strong appeal. This at
fords to farmers with reasonable Sc
curity the means Of obtaining capital
to finance their operations on a long
term payment plan.
More information in regard to this
State Farm Loan Act may be had by
writing the Department of Agricul
ture, Augusta, Maine.

ty, therefore since the Grange was

tertaining herself. She spoke partic-
ularly upon the need Of the parents

3e NATIVES OF IDAHO IN
JANUARY DEATH LIST

Thirty-six of the 145 deaths report
ed to the bureau of vital statistics in
January were those of native-bOrn
Idahoans, according to the monthly
report issued Friday by DR.. F. w
Almond, state medical advisor, says
the Idaho Statesman.
Another feature of the death total
which does not occur frequently is
the fact that the greatest number of
death was among married people. Of
the las woh died, so were married
and SIS were single. The single list
of dead were swelled by the death of
IL infants who died before reaching
the age of one month, Ninety of the
deaths were males and 55 females.
Reports on the deaths of six mem
bers of the G. w. futile family at
Cambridge from butulinus poisoning
have not been received by the bureau.
Balanced against the 145 deaths
there were All births in the state in
January. Keeping up their past
record, boys again topped the list
with a total of 231. Girls totaled 1870.
Only six children were stillborn in
January, according to the report. This
is a comparatively small number it
was announced at the bureau. Two
pairs of twins were born during the
month Forty-two of the children
born have parents of foreign birth.

sCoUT DAY OBSERVED
IN CHURCH SERVICES

Sunday was Boy Scout day and
special Boy Scout services were held
in the Methodist Episcopal and Chris
tan churches.
At the Methodist church, which
sponsors two troops OF Scouts, the
boys were seated IN places OF honor
at the front Of the church and Scouts
acted as ushers. Dr.. H. o. Perry,
pastor of the church, preached an able
sermon, telling of he ideals Fl the
Scouts. He said it was not military
organization, nor was it an athletic
organization, but that the Scout move
ment did stand for mental develop
ment, physical development, life or
service and the religious life And,
he said, in order for boy or man to
be foursquare man, he must develop
these sides of his life equally.
At the close of the sermon, Harold
Lenhard, leader of Troop No !, ex-
planned the meaning of the badge and
what was required for a tenderfoot to
get his badge, and w. F. Morgareidge,
after having each of six new recruits
to repeat the pledge, presented them
with the tenderfoot's badge
The house was filled and there was
intense interest in the entire service.
At the Christian church, which will
sponsor one troop, the program con-
sisted of number of short addresses.
The Scouts, with their leader, occu
pied the front seats Dr. A. E. Evans
presided and short addresses were
made by Dean F. G. Miller, of the de-
partment of forestry at the univer
sity; Dean j. G. Eldridge, head of the
department of modern languages;
Judge w. F. Morgareidge and P. D.
Sharma, of India. Dean Miller spoke
of the forests and the part that the
Scouts are playing as an organization
in protecting them. The other speak
ers dealt largely with the ideals of
Scout life, and the benefits of the
Scout training and Of clean lives and
training for efficiency. At the close
of the service the Scout leader pre-
sented the boys with their tenderfoot
pins.
A collection was taken, the money
to be devoted to equipping the Boy
Scout troop.
