SEES DANGER IN
WORLD PROGRESS"

Grangers from all parts OF Della
ware gathered at the State Fair
Grounds yesterday when the annual
picnic OF New Castle County Pomona
Grange was held. The affair was one
OF the most successful picnics ever
held by the Grange.
william J. Thompson, master OF
the Main State Grange. was the prin-
cipal speaker. He scored govern
ment ownership OF railroads. saying
Il would increase the burden of
taxes He pointed out that the
four million rail employees would
become Federal employees, and would
be paid from funds raised by taxa
ton. He suggested that. in addition
10 this, INSCRIPTIONS office-seekers
would later use the railroads to gain
support Among the methods he
suggested such men could use, were
constantly increasing pay. early re-
tirement and large pensions.
Mr.. Thompson asserted that the
railroad situation could be solved by
the public. which, although desirous
of the luxury OF travelling by rail.
should emulate the actions Of their
forefathers of the Boston Tea Party
fame. who chose TO do without their
luxury than be brow beaten.
The work OF the grange and the
benefits the farmers derive from Il
also received attention from Mr..
Thompson who enumerated the
many things which have been made
possible mainly through the efforts
of the organization.
Mr.. Thompson said that instead OF
being the blessing ii appears 10 be.
the exceedingly rapid progress OF
the world Is one OF the greatest dan
gers OF today. The future outlook,
he said. is ever doubtful, ever
changing.
People Of today" he said. do
not build their houses as strong and
lasting as the people OF yesterday.
This is because OF the changes they
are looking forward 10. The build

in few years. or perhaps will be
out OF style and changed. Every
thing is the same way. but II cannot

Americans cherish and hold dear.
He urged all farmers TO send their

their places in the world. comprise

Great interest was shown In the

Bill 7egtn1eier
Catches Daddy of
All Big Fish

Careful readers of modern history
and comment probably know that one
of the seven wonders of the world is
the big trout caught in the streams
about Leavenworth. The establish
ment of this fact is due to the scien-
tific researches into natural phenom-
ena of such men as DR.. Hoxsey, Deed
Magyar, R. L. Smith, Guy Hamilton,
and number of other Leavenworth
men of the early days.
But none of the old timers has any,
thing on Bill Tegtmeier, for Bill
went ou. WEDNESDAY on the Icicle and
caught the great, great grandaddy of
the Rainbow tribe, measuring 27
inches in length and weighing an even
five (5) pounds-we measured the
fish for length and do not dispute the
weight.
Mr.. Tegtmeier is a modest sort of
man and does not often get excited.
therefore he may not have his fish
preserved and exhibited throughout
the land, but he is entitled to and
ought to do it. Few, if any, Rainbow
will surpass it.

SIX SUITS
COMMENCED
BY STATE
Need Additional Strip Along Present
Highway Between Sunnyslope
and Monitor.

World: The state of Washington
has filed six condemnation suits
against property owners between the
Sunnyslope grade and Monitor. to Sc
cure land needed for the Sunset

school house to the grade going over
the hill.
The four suits are for 10-foot
strip along the present right of way.
The state law provides that every p,i-
mary highway must be not less than
60 feet wide, and the county right of
way is only 40. The propert1 own
ers from whom strip is to be taken
and paid for are R. T. Burkey, 50 of
an acre; Mrs. Bessie Harding, .25 of
an acre; j. E. Coulthard, .23 Of an
acre. In some cases it will be neces-
sary to remove buildings or retaining
walls, thus causing damages or ex-
penses in addition to the amount of
land and orchard involved.
An entirely new right of way 30
feet wide is sought through the prop
erty of W. H. Humphries and the
First Methodist Church of Monitor,
