In a recent issue of the News Item it was stated that Mr. Valen tine Kobe carried an insurance of 81,700 on his barn recently dis troyed by lire. This statement was incorrect as the amount of insur ance was only §BOO. The loss is estimated at §1,700. Any college president whose duty it is to secure for his institution large sums of money could have told her of her peril. It is becoming more and more frdquent for big gilts to universities and colleges to lie made anonymously, because the generous giver is pestered night and day after each large s*ift liy beggars u person and by thousands of letters. The News Item editor was pre sented with a box of strawberries by Mr. A. 0. Jenkins. The gift i was highly appreciated as they j made a dish lit for a king. The I berries were marvelous in size and j contained a rich, sweet flavor ex- ; celling any other fruit grown. Mr.! Jenkin's prize berries are known i as the Arnot. and have been grown from one native plant, and are capable of being improved by the best-cultivation.

Very few granges j n the country hav* I had the good fortune that has come to ! Laurel grange of West Newbury. Mass , which has just had placed at Its : disposal an elegant $20,000 ball, which ; they are to occupy with no other ex \ penso thnu the Janitor service. The I building is of the old English style. i 58 by 90 feet in siae. with front porch i 12 by 22 feet. The tlrst story is of brick j and the second of wood, with cement j stucco, high pitched roof and colonlai ; Interior, finished very handsomely The auditorium seats 300 people and has been elegantly furnished. A stage 12 by 30 feet has dressing rooms anil all conveniences. In the building arc also a banquet hall 30 by 60 feet. 11 kitchen 12 by 10 feet and fine pantry, closets and paraphernalia rooms. There ; is also a delightful reading room 10 by ! 22 feet, with a good library and read lug tables. An Eloquent Granger. Mortimer Whitehead, the sliver tongucd orator of the grange and one 1 of its oldest members, has been doing 1 yeoman service for the Order the past ; summer In New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky. His | home is near New Brunswick, N. J. In the national congress there are | r,50 members, of whom only nine are I farmors, and we doubt If they are -rangers. Something wrong there! Watch the Gates. The grange is growing by leaps bounds in tunny states. I.arge classes are being Initiated. Let them not be too large or so large as to comprise some members who will be better out than In the grange. j In Kentucky the grange has taken n new lease of life.

A grange of 200 members is almost cer tain to' have its own hull, and this gives a permanence to the grange movement that is unquestionable.
