The enterprising store of W. L.
Hoffman at Muncy Valley, conduct
ed by A. P. Starr, is making a rec
ord breaking effort this season to

Nntnre Study In Pnblie School*.
The grange everywhere Is interested
In the advancement of the public
schools. The latest evidence of it is In
the state of Oregon. The Oregon state
grange has heartily indorsed the intro
duction of nature study in country
schools. Last year a teacher in one of
the public schools of a Tortland suburb
led her scholurs in excursions to the
woods and fields near by to study
plants and insects there. This Is the
first time such a method of nature
study has been taken up in this state,
and so interesting and successful was
it that many of the country schools will
take it up this fall.
Grange Fairs.
It is notable how many grange agri
cultural fairs there have been held the
past autumn ns well as indoor agricul
tural and horticultural exhibitions. This
is a good sign. It meuns that the
grange is doing something and is being
more and more helpful to all farmers,
whether members of the order or not.
There is also in these exhibitions an in
centive to better agriculture.
New York state now has nearly 60<»
granges.

A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS
WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE
A POLICY
WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE
BECAUSE —Incontestable from the
date of issue. Because—absolutely
without restrictions. Because—non
forfeitable from date of issue. Be
cause—cash loans are provided after
second year, on demand at 5 per cent
interest without fee or other charge.
Because—if death does not occur an
accumulative policy is a highly profi
table investment for the policy-holder
who lives.
