The Epworth League will hold a Valentine social on Wednesday even ing in the church basement. All the young people, whether members of the League or not, are cordially in vited. Come and bring a Valentine. Not the “usual prayer meeting” on Thursday evening, but an unusual service in which the number of men equals or exceeds the number of wo men, is expected this week. Let every man who reads this item con sider himself especially invited to at tend. It will be a profitable service. Three classes of the Sunday school, taught by Mrs. Beach, Miss Hemen- way and Miss Wright, will hold a food sale in the Gas office Saturday after noon, February 18th, at 2 o’clock. Remember to patronize this sale and help a worthy cause. The Ladies’ Aid Society will hold a New England supper on Wednesday evening, February 22, in the dining room of the church. Supper will be served from 5:30 and the public is in vited. The large number of men in Sun day school on Sunday was one of the most encouraging features of our work. There is room for others. The class of young men is also growing and all young men are invited to join the class and enjoy the good fellowship which is felt by those in attendance. The Epworth League topic for next Sunday evening will be “Deborah,” one of the great heroines of Old Testment history. All young people take notice and read Judges, fourth and fifth chapters.

There is a story, believed by many, doubted by a few, the truth known by those who do not care to tell all they know. “A woman whose husband was a Mason just naturally had to know‘the secret;’ she hid in the lodge room and saw the opening of the lodge, some degrees conferred, and part of an initiation. Things got so interesting that she gave herself away, and in self-defense the lodge •made a Mason’ of her, just to close her mouth.” I got into the “Frater nity of Open Season from Haight’s Cottage to the Point” in much the same manner, and feel under no \obligation” of secrecy about matters and things which were forced upon me. A favorite pastime is stealing each other’s nets. One old timer was caught at it and his victims lay low and waited. After the talk had died down and was supposedly forgotten they invited him to a wine party. Old timer became ossified and the gang carried him into a horse stall and spent the remainder of the day in gently (?) kicking him in the ribs and inquiring if he would “steal any nets tonight, Bill?” only his name was not Bill. That’s near enough to it, though. That same scheme was attempted on me at two different times, but I escaped. A white man can “ carry his licker” better than an Indian, as the U. S. Government discovered long ago and forbade the sale of booze to the “Red Man of the forest.” (Dr. Her rick’s book.) One fisherman (?) was grieving about the loss of three nets quite re cently, but he was partially reconciled to the loss by the fact that “we stole one of somebody else’s nets.” As I have remarked before, “There is honor even among thieves.” NOT! I wish I could find a newspaper that was going out of business and only one issue to run. I’d give twenty dollars, even if I had to work to get it, for the privilege of writing the real story of “Life on Lake Keuka, jury, but the worm has turned at last.

Subject, them.” One young man asked me, “What could you do about it if we did clean out your place some day when you were absent?” He boasted that they had an alibi for every day in the year, and no lawyer could break it down. And I told him that when the crows got in my corn field I just shot the first crow I got a chance at, regardless of his guilt or innocence, and the rest of the crows kept off when thev saw one of their number hanging on the limb of a tree. I also told him that if I was fortunate enough to catch one in the act and looked over my gun sights at him an alibi would be a very poor protection. I can hit a silver dollar at ten rods with old “ Killdeer” about every shot, and believe I could cut a hand off at that distance very neatly. I presume I could get a pistol permit if I swore to the threats made against my life and property, but I would be obliged to say that I was in fear of my life or something like it and I am not afraiu of any man I ever saw.

We have village property to St Valentine’s day is the 14th of February, and singularly ominous to lovers. St Valentine is said to have been a bishop who suffered martyrdom under the Roman emperor, Claudius, or else under Aurelian In 271. Like many another semi-Christian custom, the day set apart to the mem ory of St. Valentine in the Christian calendar Is an old pagan festival upon which our ancestors believed that the birds chose their mates for the coming year. This, at least, Is the commonly received version of our modern custom of “choosing a valentine” on the 14th of February and of sending a billet- doux or a fancy valentine through the mail to some favored one. In old Rome, the 15th of February was the festival of Juno Februata (Juno the fructifyer), and the Roman church substituted St. Valentine for the heathen goddess. At that festival, called “Lupercalia,” It was there customary, among other ceremonies, to put the names of young women into a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance directed. The Christian clergy, finding It dif ficult or impossible to extirpate the pagan practice, and in accordance with their general principle to eradi cate the vestiges of pagan superstition by retaining the ceremonies but modi fying their significance, gave it a re ligious aspect by substituting the names of particular saints for those of women. The saints whose names were drawn were proposed for Imita tion to the persons who received the slips of paper whereon they were written, and In many religious houses, where this custom still prevails, each member of the community preserves his billet during the year, as an incite ment to Imitate the virtues and -In voke the special intercession of his holy valentine. This innovation, however, namely, the substitution of the names of saints for the names of lovers, could not please the young people forever. Though the clergy repeatedly forbade the custom of valentines and ordered the use of cards with saints’ names, the old pagan custom could not be abolished. The boys and girls tri umphed over the saints, and in the end the girls triumphed over the boys, wresting from them their exclusive privilege of choosing mates. The old custom of drawing names Is to this day observed in many parts of ( England and Scotland in the following manner: A number of clips of paper with the names of an equal number of men and women are shuffled and drawn, so each young man has a val entine in the person of a young maiden, and each maiden draws a young man whom she calls hers. The valentines give each other gifts, and often this little sport ends in love and marriage. FEBRUARY FOURTEEN Also four rabbits.

In his address Mr. Manning pointed out the rapidly increasing member ship in the state grange is making the number of delegates to its annual convention an unwieldy body. He re commended that “the basis of repre sentation be change so as to provide that in addition to the one delegate at large, elected by the Pomona grange, there shall be one delegate elected for each 600 members and major fraction thereof. “As this recommendation has been made by state masters for the last three meetings, members present feel it will bring forth strong discussion when offered in form of a resolution later on in the session.” In his review of the year’s work of the grange and its present condition Mr. Manning was very optimistic. In his recommendations he considered legislation, barge canal, rural schools, education, co-operation, the state fair and national grange. He belittled the proposal for build ing a St. Lawrence canal and declar ed the barge canal appears to fill the demand for water transportation at present. In regard to rural schools he asserted it is “for the delegates to determine whether it is wise at this session of the state grange to make definite recommendations for legisla tion for rural schools to this session of the legislature.” Reports of the secretary, treasur er and executive committee indicated the grange is in splendid condition in point of number of members, finances and achievement. It now has 138,673 members and 918 subordinate granges. In 1910 the body had only 89,000 members. During the year 4,243 more members were fully paid on November 15, the date of closing the books, F.

Numerous questions having to do with farming, national, state and local public affairs, and even public morals and religion, were passed upon this morning and early this afternoon by the great crowd of delegates before they finally closed their session Fri day afternoon. They went on record unanimously for rigid enforcement of the Volstead Act and Sunday hunting laws and lined up solidly against any thing like a ship canal down the St. Lawrence river. A great deal of the discussion was almost inaudible to some of the dele gates, which led to a suggestion by National Master Lowell that the exe cutive committee purchase a sounding board for erection over the back of each plantform on which the officers of the convention sit at meetings hereafter. Following reports from the resolutions committee the convention declared it favored continuance by the state of the publication of the catalogue of abandoned farms. The State Farm Brokers’ Association has been fighting this catalogue. A com mittee reported adversely a resolu tion requiring the Bible to ue read in the public schools. The Grange voted down this report overwhelmingly. It favored the state highway law which requires county, city and town public works to be carried on under plans furnished by professional engineers. It unanimously favored more rigid enforcement of the Volstead Act. It unanimously favored a reduction of the freight rates. It unanimously opposed the St. Lawrence ship canal. It was voted to continue the twelve State Grange scholarships at Cornell University. The convention unanimously fa vored the passage of the anti-licensing bill now pending in Congress at Washington. It unanimously favored the repeal of the full-crew law on railroads. It favored the revocation for a term of years of the license of any auto driver who operates a car while in toxicated. It unanimously favored addition of more men to the state police, so that better protection may be afforded the rural sections at night. It was favorable to the proposed legislation that would legalize the purchase of new issues of Federal land bonds for savings banks and trustees in New York State. At pres ent the laws do not allow trustees to handle such bonds. It unanimously favored enforcement of the-present law prohibiting hunting on Sunday. On this last point the Grange membership is sensitive and firm. Past State Master M. N. God frey took the floor and explained how well the farmers of his home town, Clean, enforce this law. They formed an association and incorporated and see personally to it that the law is enforced to the letter. The present law is more than sufficient, when properly enforced, it was stated. The Grange endorsed the Dairy men's League polling plan without opposition. It adopted an adverse report on legislation for improvement of school books; voted in favor of new methods of the selection of school superin tendents; adopted a report that ap proves giving authority for the super intendent of schools to consolidate one-room school only on approval of the people of the district; rejected a resolution providing for turning over the taxes received from public ser vice corporations to the school funds; favored the repeal of the law now giving the school superintendent the right of compulsory consolidation of schools and also the compulsory con solidation of buildings without the consent of the people in the district. The convention declared in favor of the rank and file of the Grange study ing cooperative methods; approved the appointment of a State Grange historian by the state master; favored giving the executive committee au thority to name a successor to the overseer of the Grange when the over seer is elevated to the office of state master between conventions, and voted down a proposal to change the plan of representation in the State Grange convention. More than 700 candidates received the sixth degree Thursday ni'ght. This is said to be the largest class of candidates ever to receive the de gree. More than 1,500 members of the grange witnessed the ceremonial. The degree work was put on under the supervision of Mrs. \V D. Tail- man, pomona, of Poughkeepsie, in Kalurah Temple, where all the busi- ness sessions have been held. The temple, one of the most beauti ful of its kind in the state, made a picturesque setting for the ceremon ial. The court gathered on the platform at the rear end of the audi torium. At the proper time the sig nal was given and the candidates were ushered in. The degree work in this degree is undoubtedly the pret tiest of any in the grange. Nearly two hours were consumed in working the degree. The first four degrees the grange are local. The fifth is po mona or county, the sixth is the state degree and the seventh is the nation al degree. Dean A. R. Mann, of the s*ate col lege of agriculture, Cornell Universi ty, gave an, address, principally rela tive to the $6,000,000 building pro gram planned for the college. It was adopted in 1910.

No appropriation has been made by the state legislature, although the state has approved about $3,000,000 worth of the program. If nothing else can be done this winter, the dean hopes the legislature will take care of the equipment for the new dairy building, which would cost about $250,000. He spoke of the fact that the grange had voted success to the project, not because it is political, but because it is educational. Berne A. Pyrke, of Albany, state commissioner of farms and markets, addressed the session this morning. He gave a report that sets forth the agricultural importance of the state in glowing colors. According to Mr. Pyrke, Iowa farms have a total valu ation of two and one-half times New York state farms. The 8,000,00 acres of this state, however, produced more than the whole of Iowa’s 20,000,000. Secretary Frank J. Riley, of Sen nett, Cayuga county, read a replyr written on White House stationery, to the telegram wired by him under directions of the convention to Presi dent Warren G. Harding, conveying congratulations for the success of the arms conference. It says, “The Presi dent has asked me to express ap preciation, acknowledging the receipt of your telegram yesterday, which he read with a great deal of interest. He Is more than pleased with this gener ous expression of commendation and good will. Sincerely yours, George .B. Christian, secretary to Presidenr.” l The members unanimously adopted a resolution favoring a continuation of the publication of a catalog of abandoned farms, issued by the state, whiqh publication has been opposed by real estate dealers. WANT BIBLE HEAD IN PUBLIC - SCHOOLS. The grange, by a large majority vote, went on record in favor of a law making the daily reading of the Bible in public schools compulsory. They also placed themselves on rec ord as strongly favoring the construc tion of state concrete highways. The Grange adopted resolutions favoring the repeal of that portion of the highway law requiring that all public works be built under plans of professional engineers and they unan imously passed a resolution de manding a more rigid enforcement of the Volstead act. The Grange adopted resolutions op posing the construction of St. Law- rance ship canal and voted to con tinue the twelve-State Grange scho larships at Cornell University. Strong resolutions demanding the repeal of the full crew law were adopted and the members went on record in favor of revoking the license of any person driving or operating an automobile while intoxicated, for a term of years. They asked that more state police be provided for night protection and were unanimously in favor of the law prohibiting hunting on Sunday. -------- ♦ -------- Lloyd C. Baker, of Glean, who died recently, aged 50 years, was con fined to his bed 10 years with paraly sis, but during that time conducted a successful insurance business. He had a telephone in his room with an atr tachment hanging from the head- board of his bed. New York bankers have loaned Cuba $5,000,000 for one year.
