The Harrisburg Teh-graph says in
a recent issue:
Members of the Board of Public
Buildings and (troundsare of opinion
that all the bridges that the State is
asked to rebuild by reason ofthede-,
Btruction of the orginal structure by
floods and ice, will not be built. In
Susquehanna county recently the
commissioners asked the Dauphin
County Courts to appoint viewers
for a bridge over the Susquehanna
river between Circat Bend and Hal
stead. The viewers were appointed
and waited several weeks for the
county commissioners to fix a time |
when they should he on the spot 1
and view the site for the new bridge.
The commissioners, however, aban-j
dontd their intention to have the
state erect a bridge, and have decid
ed to patch up an old bridge which
has been doing business for almost
half a century. An effort will be;
made by the* the next Legislature
to amend the act compelling the !
State to bear the entire cost of re
structing bridges swept away by
high water and to put half the cost |
of erection on the county.

A few men who knows how to run
the affairs of the country.
A grown young man who laughs
every time he says something.
A girl who goes to the postoffice

Co-operntlve Effort.'
Oliver Wilson, master of Illlonis
state grange, well says that 'Vo-opern
tive buying and selling shcftikt be an
important factor. If this practice were
generally followed by all grangers the
system would soon develop and would
: not only be remunerative to the indi
' vidua), but a source of revenue to the
! state grange. Without hardship to
: any one, the revenues thus derived
I would be enough to pay the expenses
of delegates to the state meeting.
IICIICYCH In Co-operation.
Moorestown (.N, J.) grange believes
In co-operation and practices it. It
| recently received a consignment of
•5,000 bushels of seed potatoes and aiso
purchased 1,000 tons of fertilizing ma
terial direct from the Importers. The
grange has 275 members.
In New Hampshire there are twenty
live women who are masters of subor
dinate granges, 175 as secretaries, 20K
as lecturers and in eleven granges all
the officers are women.
Every grange should exert a moral
Influence for good in the community
In which It !s located.
