EAST SOMERSET
POMONA GRANGE
MEETS AT RIPLEY
Especial to the Kcnnebec JournaD

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Ripley, Me, Aug. 14-"Four Big
Problems" was the subject of an il
luminative address given by State
Librarian Henry Z. Dunnack at the
annual field day meeting of the East
Somerset Pomona Grange held today
at Felker's Grove. There was an at
tendance of about 200 and a most in
teresting program was carried out.
Rev. Mr.. Dunnack declared that the
four big problems are of food. of
transportation, of power and of edu-
cation. The problem of food is fun
damental. Agriculture is basic in
dustry. The farmer should have his
share in the fruits of his labor. 1t is
evident that the costs of distribution
are excessive. How overcome them?
Legislation is doubtful eXpedient.
Organized effort has proved effective
in some lines of farm products. 1t
offers the best solution yet presented
Transportation, too. is necessary.
Necessity may compel the govern
ment to take over the railroads, not
in the hope of making them profitable
but in order to secure the tranSporta-
ton required for the well being of the
public. He alluded to the truck
methods of transportation, to the
fact that they are wearing out the
highways which are maintained, not
by the corporations. as are the rail-
roads, but by the taxpayers, and in
some instances are doing that which
the railroads should do.
He was especially happy in his re-
marks respecting education. His ex-
perience in the States library work
and the opportunity he has had in
contributing to the educational work
of the State has been valuable and
lent peculiar interest to his remarks
The other speaker OF the afternoon
was Hon. William r. Pattangall of
Augusta. who held the attention of
all with discussion of matters
touched on in the Grange program
presented
