p.eso.it is permitted to present one
II tiie or more of persons who they
tliSiik would make good members.
The. n.'iiiie t are handed into the sec
re I.i :*y of the grange. At the follow

by Ihe grange or appointed by the
unisle. take .lie names presented uii

Grange's Title to Real Estate.
State Master \V. F. Hill of Pennsyl
vania recently gave an opinion relative
to tlie grange's holding real estate in
which he said: "In our Order the state
grange cannot acquire title to a grange
hall or any other property except by
pur 'base. The dedication of tlie hall
i ■ no effect whatever upon its owner
ship. Even should your grange dis
band or become dormant the state
g'.ir.ge lias no claim upon the property.
II belongs to the same owners as be
fore."

Master Hill is its president.

J, Y. fulyer Urges New York Btate
Government to Adorn Highways.
A strong plea for the planting of
trees along the roads iu which the
; state of Vew York lias an Interest was
j made recently by Jonathan Y. Culyer,
| civil engineer and landscape architect,
i says the New York Tribune. He said
! that he had tried to induce the state ad
i j ministration to do this, but without
| apparent success. He called attention
' to the fact that throughout Great
Britain, France. Germany and.to a
lesser degree, in other continental coun
tries the planting and maintenance of
trees <>u the public roads have been a
: long established policy. Many com
munities in the United States, he said,
have recognized the value and utility
of such a practice.
"It would lie lamentable indeed," Mr.
Culyer said, "were it found that tree
planting on our roads had been omit
ted for quasi economical reasons. The
cost of providing and planting can
i add very little to tlie cost per lineal
| foot of the road. Soli, for Instance, an
essential thing for the tree pits, in
1 most cases Is to he found on the line
|of the work. The tirst cost of the
I trees and of planting them should be
!an almost Inappreciable Item. Indeed,
| its I have lief ore suggested, trees and
| other useful vegetation may be and
: long since should have been cultivated
; successfully through the agency of
; our forestry commission and the state
board of agriculture, nurseries being
1 established in some one or more eligl
hie localities of our public domain. It
j amounts to a public scandal that so
j many men are employed on these state
properties whose work could be made
i more effective in.this way.
"As tlie result of an established pol
icy of roadside planting, intelligently
: pursued, it will not l»e difficult to fore
! .'list, in hopeful vision of the future,
: >tir roads adorned with trees of which
! ive have a rich variety—the oak, the
' maple, the elm. the plane, the linden,
; the gum. the horse chestnut, etc.. along
j which the traveler would he guided
I hospitably ou his way."
Good Roads aiid"Piospc-rity.
! Nothing stimulates home trade like
' good roads. In many parts of the
! country the fanners are practically
j shut off from the town during the wet
j season. The wives and daughters of
j Hie farmer find it inconvenient to make
j frequent trips to town during these
; months, so they naturally resort to the
j mail order catalogue for a part of
; their shopping. The result Is that home
! merchants lose trade which they might
| got if the roads were better.
