We give room for the following clipped from an exchange: Here is a little nudge for all lodges, orders, societies, schools, etc. When you pass resolutions and vote that they be inserted in it paper the proper thing is to raise some money to pay for its insertion in the paper. Print ing papers i< expensive, the printers' expenses must be paid, as well as those of any other occupation. The money must come out of his work. This is why he resolves to charge for his wcrk. So often people "re solve" that so ami so be published in a certain paper and stop at that till the paper comes without the res olution in it. And then reputed good people a re angry and the printer is called a devil. Suppose the printers pass a resolution now and then resolving that nix bushels of potatoes, two lbs. of butter and a ham be inserted in their pantry and make no provision to get these arti cles in there; then you would call tho printers foolish, and the rule works both ways. When you want resolutions printed raise the money to pay at least octs. per line, then all will be happy. A Good Bvsincss Chacce.

Leichty, alias Joe Lacky was given ti hearing before Alderman liat/.le on the charge of having forg ed the name of W. 11. Spencer to a check for fifteen dollars. It seems that Lichey went to the west branch National Bank and there offered a check bearing the name of W. H. Spencer and made payable to Joe Lacky. The check was so crudely drawn that the bunk people would not accept it The po lice notified and the arrest of Leich ty, Saturday afternoon was the re sult. Chief Bathurst has a paper bearing the signature of W. II Spen cer, which was taken from the per son of Leichty, who apparently used it as a guide in writing the name on the check. —Willisimsport Bulletin.

The Necessity of Improving General Farm Conditions. I A most timely and su;«gestive ad ; dress was viven by Deau Bailey at the ! New York state grange uieetiug on the | topic above indicated. I>r. Bailey had ! recently completed Ids work on the i country life commission, and many of i the suggestions in Lis admirable ad dress were the outgrowth of the dis cussions bad before the < vnmission at Its numerous meetings.' >le empha sized the need of a national campaign for rural progress, and In order to make it successful there should be a clean cut state campaign, he said ! And tl:is must come as the result of | federation or working together of all country life agencies within the state. | Among these are the Patrons of Ilus i Landry. State Agricultural society, | state department of agriculture, ex periment stations, State College of Agriculture find other state and dis trict organizations expressive of agri cultural industries and Interests. Con tinuing, Dr. Bailey said: The spec.nl schools of agriculture ean ! not meel all the needs of country people 1 for education In terms of their daily i lives. If there were one school in each of the agricultural counties of the state graduating fifty pupils a year, It would require nearly a hundred years to reach all the farm people of the state. A farm er has a right to ask that his son and daughter be given facilities for country life education In his home school. The I stuto siiuuhl not ma.ve It necessary for him to senll them away from home for 1 tlie elements of such education, it fol lows that all public schools should be | open to education by means of agrl ture on the same terms that they are open to education by other means. We have the basis for such a development In the act of 190S for the encouraging of In dustrial and trade schools. 1 am con vinced that tiiis act marks a clear ad- I'i'.nco In industrial education in this coun i try. This law recognizes Industrial edu i cation as a part of the proper education al work of tlie state and the principle ! that the Initiative should be with the peo ple and the maintenance be co-operative between the locality and the state. It provides that any public school which es i tablishcs such work and maintains It for a year shall receive fcion from the state for one teacher so employed and S2OO for j additional teachers. It limits such In i struction to those who have taken the elementary school course. It provides for an advisory local board to advise with ' the school officers In respect to the work. This means that the state education de partment must develop a broad policy of industrial education, with a well equipped department or division to administer it. This division should also have relation to the work In special schools of agriculture. | Personally 1 doubt the wisdom of sep arating the administration of agricultural ! education from that of oilier industrial education. The two lines should develop co-ordinately, and agricultural training I should b<! in good part manual or lndus trial. _ : Past Master Derthick'a ty* Work Hon. F. A.
