for the property, as it is generally
understood that the present owners
are willing to sell the plant and they
110 doubt would give the borough the
preference over private individuals.
Borough bonds could readily be sold
at a very low rate of interest, prob-
I ably I! or I per cent., while bonds
issued by a corpnration would have
to bear G per cent, interert to be sold

The decision of Congressman C.
JI. Diekerman, of the Sixteenth Dis
trict, not to be a candidate tor re
noinination is a subject of consider
able speculation, not only in the dis
trict hut in 1 >emocratic circles gener
ally.
Mr. Dickerman was elects! as a
Democrat two years ago, but less
than four months of congressional
life appear to have -satisfied him. He
took his seat at the beginning of the
special session last November, and
has decided that Jhe does not want
any more of it after the present
term. The announcement is made
by himself over his own signature.
He gives no public reason for this
decision, and it seems all the more
unaccountable to some of his con
stituents for the reason that he
would probably have been nomina
ted without any great opposition,
There is already something of a
scramble for the Democratic nomi
nation, for that party is impressed
with the conviction that this is one
of the districts it is certain to carry.
There is nothing at all sure alnuit
that. It is the same district it ,has
been for nearly twenty years, com
posed of the counties of Columbia,
Montour, Northumberland and Sull
ivan, and is not a hopelessly Demo
cratic district.
in 18t»I that distinguished and
able Democrat, the late Charles It.
Ruckalew was defeated by S9l votes.

THE JUVENILE GRANGE.
; Oramilaril lu 1888, I'M Uriiulk H»»
Been slow.
! The Idea of training the boy a and
girls of the farm home for future use
fulness by the organization of juvenile
granges originated ID Texas lu the
I year 1888, when the first young peo
i pie's grange was organized. A re9olu
i tlon directing the executive committee i
I to prepare a suitable ritual was passed ■
| at the session of the mitlonal grange
j In Sacramento, Cal., In 1888. Jonathan \
| J. Woodman, P. M„ of the national j
i grange drew up ihe present ritual, |
j which was adopted at Atlanta, Ga.. in j
ISBU. 81 nee that the work had prae j
' tically died out, to be revived again j
j during tho last fevr years In New Rng- j
' laud and Michigan.
At the recent meeting of the national
grange in Rochester It wait voted to
I procure the requisite regalia and work
; ing tools lor conferring the juvenile de \
I gree.
| Any child whose parents are rneni-
I bers of the Order ts eligible to inein
i bcrshlp in the Juvenile grange. He
| must be eight years of ago and under
fourteeu, for at the latter age he may
become a member of the subordinate
! grange.
In strictly rural communities, where
there is less to occupy the young in
a social way than la villages, the ju
venile grange seems to flourish best. It
gives young people a most valuable
mental and social training at an ag«
when impressions are most easily made
and prepares them for membership In
; the subordinate grange when they ar
i rive ai the proper »ige. It cultivates
the l-olito graces. It gives self confi
dence. It inculcates truth and moral
ity. The granges should not lose this
; grand opportunity for molding the
lives of farmers' boys and girls and 111-
. stilling early the excellent principles
of our t*«nelice[if Order.

A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS
WHY VOL SHOULD HAVE
A POLICY
WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE
UKCAI'Si: —Incontestable from the
date of issue. Because- -absolutely
without restrictions. Because tion
forfeitable from date of issue lie
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.
Policies now maturing to living
policy-holders prove this. In lact
NEW YORK I.IFIv policies do not
leak.
