the state waa called for the purpose of
organizing a Bale Democratic Press
Association, Warren Worth Bailey,
editor of the Johustown Democrat,

Letters were received from many
editors and owners of Democratic
newspapers heartily endorsing the or-
ganization. Chairman Bailey was
empowered to appoint a committee on
permanent organizstion and constitu.

meetings. The committee will soon
be announced and the next meeting
will be held within six weeks, Invita-

DEAN BAILEY’S GOOD FARMER.
The Four Characteristios of a Good Farm-
er a8 Defined by the President of the
v Country Life Cummission,
L. H. Bailey, Dean of New York's
Agricultural College, a department of
Cornell University, at Ithaca, -Presi-
dent of Roosevelt’s Country Life Com-
mission, and probably the foremost
worker for rural betterment in
America in a lecture before a company
of country pastors, recently gave four
characteristics of a good farmer :
1. He should have the ability to
make a good living from the land.
2, He must have the ability to rear
a family carefully and well.
3 Heshould have the ability to be
of service to the community in which
he lives,
4 Heshould know how and leave
his land more productive than when
he found it.
Man's selfish instincts lead him to
assent to the first proposition ; but
there are also altruistic reasons for
placing this characteristic in the fore-
ground. The farmer, who cannot
make a good living, who is always In
the drag, pinched for money, and
ever facing bankruptcy, will have
little inclination or ability to promote
the general welfare, The members of
his family will find it hard to be use-
ful members of society ; and he can
give little aid to the institutions thra
which the community expresses itself
and advances to better things.
The hope of any permanent advance
in human welfare is that the children
begin where the fathers leave off and
carry the progress of development to a
gtill higher stage. Hence he who
fails to train his children so that they
shall have the desire and ability to do
this has failed in one of the most im-
portant functions of a good citizen,
Instead of multiplying himself for
good in his own household he has the
humiliating thought that his own
asefulness will die with him, unless
perchance somebody else's better
trained children shall carry ou his
The old Bible truth, * No man
liveth to himself alone, "’ is becoming
more and more evident in the ad-
vancement of our complex eclviliza-
tion. “A man alone is no msn.”
‘he farmer is sald to live an isolated
life compared with most occupations,
But if he will stop to
think he will be surprised to find in
how many and how varied ways even
he is dependent on other human beings
and on his community, Even the
pioneers could not live altogether by
toil on their own land ;
much less can or does the farmer of
Dependence carries with
is not discharged by the pittance he
pays for the aid given him by others.
He may grumble, and often justly, at
the siz2 of his road tuxes, and yet if
when-
ever he 1: ft his farm, he would find
himself involved in an expense utterly
imposstle for him to meet. This is
only one of the less important ways in
which his community is putting him
If this community
recognized and acquiesced in the
possibilities for humsn welfare would
be immeasurably increased. Especial.
ly could the country be made more at-
tractive socially, iotelectuslly, ma-
terially, and religiously to that bright
vigorous class of the young for whom
the city lure is so strong, whom
nevertheless the country so much
needs.
On the fourth characteristic depends
the possibility of restoring the firtility
of the soil where it has diminished,
and of making it still more productive
and capable of supporting the growing
nation. It is a characteristic still
more fruitful in character. The man
who hag no care for the future genera.
tions is essentially selfish, and selfish
peas 1s a deadly blight to noble man-
hood snd womanhood, The farther
they for whom we toil are removed
from us in time or space the greater
the likelihood that the altruistic ele-
ments of character will develop.
Dean Bailey was right in making
ability and willingness to increase the
productivity of his land one of the
essentials of the good farmer,
The superiority of the American
farming class is generally recognized,
at least in theory, If Bailey's ideal
should generally become the ideal of
those who till the soil in the United
Hiates this superiority would be great.

POMONA GRANGE MEETS,
Bald Eagle Grange Hall The Beene of an
Enthusiastic Quarterly Meeting of the
Order,
The third quarterly meeting of the
Centre County Pomona Grange was
held at Milesburg, in the new and
well equipped hall of the Bald Esgle
Grange, on Thursday of last week.
There was a good attendance, and
everyone there displayed an interest
in the matters before the body.
The officers presiding were Worthy
Master, Willard Dale ; Overseer, D,
K. Keller ; Lecturer, Leonard Rhone;
Chaplain, G. L. Goodhart ; Bteward,
George Gingerich ; Assistant Btew-
ards, Jacob Yarnell and Mrs. Poor-
man ; Becretary, D. M, Campbell ;
Treasurer, F. W. Musser ; Ceres, Mrs,
D. M. Campbell ; Flora, Mrs, SBamuel
Durst ; Pomona, Mrs, D. L.. Bartges.
The first business taken up was the
matter of better maintaining the regls-
ter of members in the county, and a
committee of three were appointed to
perform this work. The master
named on this committee the secretary
of Pomona, D. M. Campbell, D. K.
Keiler and George Musser,
The report of the Centre County
Mutual Fire Insurance Co., by its
secretary, D. K. Keller, was altogether
flattering. The company was never
in better condition floancially or
otherwise. The secretary made the
statement that Grange companies bad
been organized in seveial of the adj oin-
log counties in which the company
did business, and that in such Io-
stances his company had withdrawn
from the fleld. This narrowing of
territory has proven advantageous to
the policy holders, for with the ex-
ception of one instance the losses ex-
ceeded the revenue in the districts.
The new classification of risks was
also shown to be just and sided to
bring about the present good condi
tion of the company’s finances
Isaac Frain, president of the com-
pany, supplemented the secretary’s re-
port with appropriate remarks, sauce
tioning and emphasizing all the secre
tary had said. He pointed with pride
to the fact that from the organization
of the company sll ils losses were
promptly paid, and that without pro-
cess of law on the part of the insured.
The next question taken up was one
very much talked about by farmers in
and out of the Grapge—The Heselan
Fiy. The fly and its habits were
spoken of in an exceptionally illumi
pating way by Dr. H. F. Bitper. A
number of others also joined in the
discussion.
The profits from patronizing the
milk condensory was a question also
discussed. To gain further light on
the question a commitiee of five was
sppoioted to investigate the methods
of the condensory, prices paid for
milk, ele.,, snd report at the nexi
meeting of the bidy. The committee
appointed is as follows: G. L. Good-
hart, chairman ; Luther Dale, 8B. W.
Bmith, J. M. Herter and Willard
Dale,
The chairman of the Grange Eo-
campment and Fair committee, Hon,
Leouard Rhone, made a verbal report.
He stated that all the tents in posses.
sion of the committee had been en-
gaged, and that many additional re-
quests were on file, and would be filled
if it were possible to secure tents from
the several sources being ap pealed to,
All the space in the permanent build.
ings has also been engaged by exhib.
itors, and not all were accommodated.
There is ample room for exhibitors who
can do so on the open grounds, The
chairman encouraged patrons to bring
their exhibits of fruit, vegetables,
grains, and antiques, so that even the
former creditable displays would be
eclipsed,
Another subject discussed was the
co-operative buylog system. R, P.
Kester, a state deputy, will take up
this subject with the local granges.
Will Balld Grange Hall,
*During the past year the Spring
Mills Grange has added many new
members, and the order is now very
much alive to the interests of the
farmer. With a view of further de
veloping interest in Grange work and
making it a permanent iostitution in
that locality, it has been decided to
build a home for the order. The old
Methodist church, at Aaronsburg, was
purchased with this view In miod,
The structure has been torn down,
and the material will be transported to
