Grange demand for an effective
truth-in-fabrics law.
Particular emphasis was placed
upon the value of team work for the
advancement of agriculture-not
alone through all branches of the
Grange, but among all rural organ
izations and with every state and
government agency cooperating.
"The Grange pledged it's whole
hearted support to a forward-loOking
program for rural America and
throughout its entire session ex-
pressed an optimistic attitude to-
wards the future of American agri-
culture. Governor Silzer, of New
Jersey, brought greetings from his
state to the farmers of the country,
as represented by the National
Grange. Good results were reported
on automobile insurance and the fire
insurance companies of the Order,
were reported as exceptionally sue
cessful. Nearly all of the Oranges
have added new members during the
year and the loyalty of all has in
creased wonderfully.
-Four new Juvenile Oranges have
been organized during the year by
Sister Robinson, Superintendent of
Juvenile Oranges. Well attended
field meetings were held in each of
our counties, during the past sum-
mer, with National Master Taber as
the principal speaker. The National
Grange Monthly, the official organ of
the Order, is taken by nearly every
Grange family in the State.
1--WE believe that the newspapers
are our friends and we are of the |
opinion that we should cooperate
with them by giving them a more !
concise report of our meetings.
"Once more the National Grange
has stated opposition to any weak
sning of the Volstead Act for en-
'orcement of National Prohibition.
"It has also expressed vigorous
to the proposed goth
amendment on child labor, in its
present form.
1--WE are all deeply interested in
he two great subjects of good
chools and good roads and are per-
ectly content to pay for them, but
Without extravaganza.
1--WE are hoping that the Educa-
ional Fund, launched by us one
ear ago, may amount to sum

every right to be proud Of its ac.
cOmplishments, but it must also ac.
knowledge some failures, which
ought to warn us of OVer-cOnfidence
while the problems of the farmer
are still many, varied and serious,
and probably always will be so, still
we feel that conditions have imprOv-
ed somewhat during the past year
and we are enjoying much more
prosperity than for some time, and
we feel that the time will come
when every tiller Of the soil will
have equal advantages with the mer-
chant, the manufacturer and all
others.
"The National Grange convened
this year in Atlantic City, N. J., No
vember IL to 21, with twenty-eight
states represented by delegates, one
more than last year. The meetings
were held on the Steel pier and in
Hotel HaddOn Hall. The Sixth De-
gree was given by team from the
New Jersey State Grange, presided
over by State Senator David Agans,
master of the New Jersey State
Grange.
THE Seventh Degree was confer
red upon a class of two thousand
and thirty-two. The burning of the
Hotel Boutwell, cast something Of a
gloom over our meeting, for some of
our patrons who were stopping
there, lost all of their clothes, ex-
cept those which they were wearing.
-Four outstanding votes of the
session, which will command wide
comment as a declaration of policy
by The National Grange, were:
Il. Strong declaration for the
equality of agricultural-in legisla-
tiOn and in Government plans, also
in the adjustment of tariff rates, ETC.,
to insure an equitable balance be-
tween producers and consumers.
"2. Emphatically endorsing the
cooperative marketing idea, and the
promise of The National Grange to
support such legislation in the COM
ing session of Congress, as shall |
best advance the cooperative mar
keting principle, under Federal SUI
pervision.
"S. Approval Of the plan for a
Federal Commission for the develop
ment Of super-power, in order that
it's advantages may be carried to the
farmer and dwellers in the rural
sections.

RAILWAY DIVIDENDS GAIN
SIX MILLIONS IN 1924

New York.-Dividend disbursements
oy the railroads of the country during
1924, it is estimated, have been in
creased by approximately 100000 to
a total of 1903, OOO, 900. Constructive
developments along this line were tax

his year, although their full effects
will not be felt until 1925.
Inauguration of dividends on the
preferred stock of the Missouri, Kan
Ias and Texas Railroad company at the
.ate of 5 per cent, yesterday added
hat road to the growing list of COM
panies which have authorized extra,

One of the most important develop
nents of the past year vas the action
Of the Southern Railway company in
placing its common stock on a : per
cent annual dividend basis last March,
when the initial quarterly payment of
s1.25 a share was voted, widespread
interest was attracted by the inaugu-
ration of dividends for which the COM

CHILDREN SURROGATE
IN BURNING HOME
Firemen Save House But Did Not
Know Little Tots Were Asleep
in the Building

Two little children, a girl aged 4
and a boy of 2, were ~suffocated at
Bozeman Tuesday when a fire partial
ly consumed the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Cady. The mother was away
at the time Of the accident and did not
return until the firemen were prepar-
ing to leave the place. Her demands
to know where her children were
caused the men to rush into the house
md the lifeless bodies were found lying
ON the bed. Physicians were at once
notified, and upon their arrival they
pronounced life extinct, and said that
death was due to suffocation. The
body Of the boy, Albert, was unmarked,
but the hands, forearms and face OF
the little girl were badly burned.
From the mother it was learned that
she had planned to go away from home
for a few minutes. Before leaving she
had put the children to bed and then
had gone into the kitchen to replenish
the fire.
The supposition is that after the
mother left, a coal from the kitchen
stove dropped to the floor igniting the
wood. The fire department responded
at once, and efforts were made to save
the building. No one knew there were
any occupants in the house, and the
mother and children were supposed to
away for the day.

the AssaiIant of White
Girl

Charleston, Mo.-A mob of m or {
than 200 men overpowered Sheriff b
B. Jackson in his office Dec. Is, and
dragged Roosevelt Grigsby, 2~0-year-old
negro, who had been identified as the
man who attempted to attack a white
girl two hours previously, across the

within so feet of the sheriff's office.
A bullet was fired through the body,
which was then cut loose from the
tree. tied to an automobile and dragged
through the streets of the negro sec
ton, followed by the bowling mob,
some members of which were brandish-
ing guns. The body eventually was
BANGED to a post in front Of a grocery
store.
Before the mob departed, however,
the body was cut down, a huge bon
fire was started and the body soon was
,harred embers.
No one attempted to interfere with
the l%ynching and the mob dispersed
within an hour without fresh out
breaks.
The action Of the mob was said by
officials to have been the direct out
growth of intense racial feeling that
mas existed here since last October 81,
the wife of a prominent LAND
owner of this county was criminally
attacked on a road ear her home.
Forty negroes were arrested at the
ime, but none were indicted.
