Press Correspondent N&w York State Grange RURAL GRANGES. , , Located In Small Villages, They Ae- complisli Besrt Hesrults. I^am coming to feel confident, says a write? in tbe Rural New r Yorker, that the grange, when located in pure- ly rural sections, away from the influ- ence even of small towns, is perform- ing a certain function generally under- taken and expected of the church. Our own local grange has a Tery liberal flow of young blood, 'it is the custom or fashion, as one sees- fit to call-it, both for the children to look forward to the requisite age, fourteen, and for par- ents to have the same desire to see them inside the gates. Here they are held to a 'dignified respect and consid- eration for the very fundamentals that underlie good government—viz, resect for the opinions of others, full and free • discussion for the questions that arise and quietly to abide a majority deci- sion. Here are discussed questions that affect .almost every pl19.se of country and often of city life, with that natu- rally unbiased frame ,of mind born of country life. When: one can c6unt twenty out of an attendance of eighty Who are under age, which was^ the case at s the last meeting, <it surely au- gurs for a Christian uplift in that'com- mimity. In judging ethical and moral questions, much J depends upon our point of view-. Would it be better if the church could do this same work? Yes, perhaps, bu^ better done through the v grange than not at all. I have not so much to say when the meeting place is located in town. My observation « leads me to say that the grange is not living up to its full usefulness when the hall is located in a village. Here may be found other attractions, with- out saying they are good or bad, that keep these young people away, saying nothing about the older ones; I would, if possible, when locating, granges fix their meeting place outside the towns. I know the busy business farmer feels that he can attend grange and do the town shopping on the same day. He succeeds in doing the ^shopping, and the young people keep away. The small center where the grange is the full power, not influenced by other busi- ness, is the place to locate granges and build halls. ' GRANGE LIFE INSURANCE. j Tlmt Demands Hon., hw the National Grange. There is now in the hands of a com- mittee of the national grange a reso- lution relative to grange life insurance that many hope to see definite and fa- vorable action upon at the meeting of the national body this fall. Recent dis- closures concerning the life insurance companies suggest that right now is a good time to start a movement to es- tablish life insurance companies by granges and for grangers. ,Can it be done? A few years ago, remarks an agricultural journal, wnea tip propo- sition to start grange fire insurance companies was made* the question was \Can it be done?*' Many said \No.\ Many others were doubtful. A few said \Yes w The regular fire insurance company managers smiled in derision. The few believers went ahead and taried it. The result is success. .The grange insurance' on farm property 2ow amounts to a great total, and the .grange insurance is toef best in the country, cheap, safe, reliable and satis- factory* Now, wny cannot farmers in- sure one another's lives as Eroeeessfully as they are insuring ojie another's buildings and other property 1 The same direct business mettiods that make farm fire insurance the best and cheapest wn would operate to ap p make life insurance just as good and as cheap. Why cannot the farmers to- sure life as well as property? '• Tlio jLabor Problem. There is a growing \sentimeiijt in the grange which demands that it oring to its 'members assistance in new lines. Many believe that the time has come when the grange can become a \world power,\ that it should expand its line of work. The inquiry often comes to me,' '\What is the grange doing to help us i|o meet the labor question?',' While our .Order has done much .to majke farm labor attractive, yet in a practical and direct way it has accomplished! but lit- tle. I would recommend to eacn grange that it consider this question most care- fully that some remedy for the- diffi- culty confronting us may be found.— Fred Shepard. ' A CosnxaendaftEe Custom. The Michigan state grange will meet premiums for exhibits of agricultural products at that meeting. The state grange will also give premiums for corn and potatoes grown according to- pertain plans previously outlined. Thejse premiums will t>e offered to sub- ordinate and Pomona granges for the besi; displays, and also to individuals. This showing of farm products at the state grange is a custom which should be commended to other state granges. Granges Oppose Oleo, Some of the granges in Pennsylvania are!taking up the question of the use of oleo by the government and are pro- testing against the same. Carpenter grange, No. 454, of Lycoming county has sent a strong' resolution to the president' and to .the state senators protesting against' the~ use of this counterfeit butter at the League Island navy yard. It condemns the use of sale of oleo by or to the government, and calls upon all in authority to main- tain an unyielding warfare against the nefarious traffic'. Deleg-ates Sliould Be Representative. Choose only representative members as delegates to your state grange meet- ings. Those who are always ,desiring to go are usually the ones least compe- tent. \While these honors should be distributed among the granges „ of a county, this should not prevent the sending of really representative meii and women to the state meeting. Don't debar the lecturer's prqgramme if yon wish your grange to live. Slmfcespestre! Poor Shakespeare!

West Bangor* VMMMMMfM* i Nov. 21— WTB. Arthur Brown is very sick.with the mumps. A number of the school children are also having them. Several from this place attended the reception given Dr. and Mrs. F- W. Mc- Carthy at Hotel ELdred in North Bangor Monday evening. The Dr. has made many friends during the past year who unite in wishing them apleasant journey through life. Albert Lawrence left Monday morning for Ray Brook where he is employed as chef at the Kay Brook House. Miss Jessie Langdon who has been spending the past few months with her grandmother, Mrs. Gabree,, returned to herhome in Springfield, Ikass. Tuesday evening* Mrs. Albert Select, who has been, in 1 poor health the past few years, died very suddenly at her home in this place Fri- day. The funeral at the house at f l:00 o'clock p. m. and at the M. E. church in Bangor at 2:00 was largely attended. James Lawrence, who has been acting rather strangly for some time, has been committed to the State Hospital at Ogdensburg. Miss Dora Peters and Mr. John Car- ver of Malone visited at Guy Adams* on Sunday. Gommfsmoner Alexander Hae&onald visited the school Wednesday, ISfov. 22, going from here to iSforth Bangor. He expressed himself a,s well pleased with the progress/ of the school and commended ithe work of the training class, in which he is especially interested, stating that in seemed better than previous classes. • ' On account of the overcrowded con- ditions in the primary department it has been foun<| necessary to divide the \Baby vV class into two sections, one sec- tion coming in the forenoon and one in the afternoon, so as to provide for the new scholars i who recently moved into town. Under this arrangement a child, loses no time but instead of being dismis- sed at 10:30-a. m. and 3r40 p. m. stays thrpugh the entiiie forenoon or afternoon as the' ease may be. This, has .increased somewhat the work of Miss French, the teacher, but it is deemed'the best possible solution of the overcrowded conditions in this room. , v < The'Thanksgiving rhetoricals will be given next Wednesday afternoon, Kov. 29th, after which there will be a recess of two cfays, A cordiaMnvitation is-ex- tended to all those who'are interested in the school to attend tbesle rhetoricals. 1 Marion Oummifigs has had to leave ichool, having been ill for some time. [ The entertainment that the school ha.s generally given at about Christmas, will not be given at the usual time this year but will come the later part of next March. If it is decided that the students cannot afford the time to give this enter- tainment an entertainment of another kind will probably be given by some Lyceum Bureau. i'Eev. Percy B. Kobinson gave the students Thursday .morning* a very ins- tructing address on Phrenology, ,He spoke some 43 minutes and held hishear- sts attention very close. His address dealt with the character of a' person- as shown by the outline of the face and the top part of the head. In conclusion he said,. that these parts of our* make up, although indicating something of our character, do not prove that our charac- ter is such because we can overcome these while young by living right and control- ling ourselves right. The students were well pleased, with Mr. Kohinson's address and many wish that he speak to\ therp. again soon. - » Christmas Pop*corn Balls. t ,.... . . - i Boys and girls can have great fun making pop-corn balls for Christmas time.
