COUNTRY ABOVE PARTY,
One part of the national-de‘ense
speech delivered last week by Jaries
R, Maun, the Republican leader of the
House, cught to be committed to
memory by every member of Congress:
I think, then, that we ought to
provide these great forces; that fit
ought (0 be considered an emergency
matter, entirely apart from the or-
dinary routine or expense of Gov-
ernment, without regard to partisan-
ship or party lines, If England and
France and Germsuy and Italy can
consider these propusitions without
party lives, a country lke ours ought
to be able to sweep aside mere parti-
san considerations and try all to
stand together, loyal to our country,
in the effort to aid the Adminpistra-
tion of our Goverument,
That is the only epirit in which the
Congress of the United States can af-
ford to act in considering the defense
of the Nation,
If the Republicans of the House and
Benate measure up to the standard of
patriotism defied by Mr. Manr, the
preparedness bills will be enacted into
law and LECEesSATY money sppro-
priated out the army and

There are many Democrats who op-
pose the President's recommendations
on the tbeory that patioual defense is

for Grange Park,
The first session of the Centre Coun-
ty Pomona Grange in 1916 was held at
Centre Hall, in Grange Arcadis, the
last Thursday in January. It was a
notable session in many respecte, the
entire time having been given over to
the installation of officers, the hearing
of reports of the various projects con-
ducted by the Order, and Initiation of
several members, The road conditions

The twenty-ninth annual session of
the Centre County Hechool Directors’
Association wae held in the court
house in Bellefonte, Friday and Bat-
urday. Ope hundred and five direc
tors from thirty districts were present,
All the speakers whose names appear-
ed on the program were on hand and
there were a number of good talks at
the various sessions.
On Saturday the following officers
were elected to serve for one year: H,
HB. McClintock, president ; M, 8B, Mc
peo; le in Philadelpiia beld in many
years, More than one hundred names
were printed on the program, most of
which were of the members of the asso-
ciation. The following speakers bad an
important place on the evening’s pro-
gram : Hoo, John Francles, Warden
of the Western Penitentiary, whose
subject wae, “Alms and Objects of

tion ceremony, which was the first
Dowell, first vice president ; James E,
Harter, second vice president ; Charles
F. Cook, secretary; A. C. Mingle,
item oo the program after the session
bad been formally opened,
The ivstalling officer was David K,
Keller, cashier of the Penns Valley
Baoking Company, who has been a
member of the order ever since he
reached the age entitling him to ad-
missior. Hop. Leonard Rhone gave
the unwritten work to the officers,
The retiring Master is Austin W,
Dale, of Boaleburg, who served in the
Order in many capacities prior to hav-
ing reached the presiding chair. He
had been ao efficient officer, thorough-
ly insympathy with the Grange and its
movements, The new Master is Prof, C,
R. Neff, of Centre Hall, a farmer,
He i: not 80 much an enthusiast in the
great ruovement '' to make two blades
of grass grow where one grew before,”
out is rather giviog attention snd urg-

and sdvocating legisistion placing
farmers on an equality with others

National consideration, He believes

messure is opposed to industrial edues-

of the great corporations to induce
young men sod women to educate the

the man becomes a mere mschine to
respon! at the touch of the button by
the cap'sivs of industry. He believes
are grealer questions to solve
than multipliestion of tous and bush-

The first business projset under the
meusgewent of the Order to report
was that of the Centre County Mutual
Fire Lusu aces Company. The quar-
erly report rendered by the Becretary,
D. K. Keller, shows the insurance ip
force to be $1,276,544, with uoles ag-
gregatiog $6,006 to back up the fire
The suditor’s repoit for the
year 1915 indicates that the lotal opsr-
aling expeuses of the company, which
includes all salaries, mileage, writing
of policier, was but $675, The josees
by fire were $6152, sud the average
total cost of insurac ce per one hundred
dolisre for one year, for a period of
thirty-nive years, twenty-one cents.
Ihis is undoubtedly a fine record.
