Vigorously,
Patrons of Husbandry and their
families from all parts of Pennsylvania
gathered at State College on luesday
for the opening of the forty-third
anoual session of the Pennsylvania
State Grange. More than 1800 dele-
gates are registered from the 835 sub-
ordinate gran-ee. They will be the
guests of the Pennsylvania State Col-
lege for the next three daye. It has
been five years since the college enter-
tained the grangers,
John A. MeS3parran, Worthy Htate
Master, in his annual report which he
read to the convention assembled ip
the Fehwab anditorlum Tuesday
morning, said that tha problemas that
demand most cateful consideration
from the Grangers today are not those
that have to do with the culture of the
soil, important ss they are, but rather
to relieve the food markets of the
country from the parasitic drain of un-
distribution cnarges, He offered no
immediate anlution of these conditions,
leaving their aonsideration to the com-
wittees that he sppoiuted later,
The Grangers are happy that this is
an off-year for tha Btate leglslatare,
Mr. Bparran said in his report that the
memory of last winter's legislative
session with its disappointing results
was atill fresh enough to arouse all the
thrills needed by the farmers. Point-
ing to the legislation asked by the
grangers, which they didn’t get, the
State Master said :
" We asked for more rqual taxation
and got the expenses of the primaries
put back on the countier, and the
honus for dirt roads denied entirely,
“ We asked re def from Bigelowism.

‘It looks to me sa though this noise
about preparedness for defense was
more of a blind than any real pri-
mw ulgation of a policy, Itsavore of an
excuse for a de-aothivg congress in re-

the time has come when some pation

will not submit our international
