This gives the working man and others the opportunity for a little relaxation on an average of once a month, and there seems no reason why the people will not be better off for it. Fairs, theatrical shows, suppers and cake sales sire announced from many churches on Sunday mornings, with little suspicion on the part of priest or people that such announce ments are incongruous." he said, "but we may lay Jdown one princi ple as universally applicable. Noth ing must be done in the parish house to endanger the morals of tin young or the weak. Whatever way the parish may take to raise money it must be an honest way. Nothing which even remotely borders on the realm of gambling or of betting must be tolorated. "It will be a sad commentary on the churches methods if the young man who finds himself broken and disgraced on the race track or Stock Exchange can say that he got his first lessons in gambling in his boy hood at the church fair. We do not wish to see big ecclesiastical build ings created by the price of blood. Polvtion ol Streams. Wiiliamsport, like many other cities, is interested in the purity of streams. The problem of purifying sewerage so that it no longer trans forms the rivers into which it is dis charged into open sewers has been so far solved that these streams need no longer be disgusting to the sense and dangerous to the health of peo ple living along them. The task ol destroying the disease breeding bac teria in the sewage and once more making the rivers available for drinking water has not yet been worked out on a practical basis, but investigations recently made by the United States Geological Survey iu cooperation with other authorities show that this end too, may be at tained at a reasonable cost. The essential agents of sewerage purification are provided and em ployed by nature, and sewage puri fication as practiced today is but the intensive application of these natur al processes. The improvements' that have been made have not in volved the discovery or application of new principles, but have merely increased the working efficiency ef the natural agencies. It has not yet been decided upon whom the responsibility rests for keeping the rivers clean, but the consensus of competent opinion re quires that if sewerage is discharged within the region of inijiortant shell fish beds or into a stream which is used as a source of domestic water supply without Alteration, such sewerage shall at least be free from disease bearing germs.—Ga/.ett and Bulletin A Use For Poetry.

One provides for the doubling of the county road tax levy, for the development of the most im portant roads which radiate from the principal market town in each county The other bill places a tax of $5 oi nil automobiles under thirty horse power and $lO on thirty horsepowet and over, the proceeds togo into thf stnte good roads fund. The motor car of the farmers is In fluencing good roads in another way. The dealers are the most active good roads advocates iu the state. One of the principal motor dealers, for in stance, makes it a business to deliver a good roads lecture with every car. The dealers have been farmers, and they know, the subject from the stand point of both sides. Farmers get the idea at the very beginning, and the} never go behind the new doctrine.- Kansas City Star. National Master Bachelder's Warnin Who Would Benefit by thi j Grange Name In Enterprises Outside ; the Grange. lu Ills department in tlie National Grange Organ in a recent number Na tional Master Bachelder remarks that as the grange is fast becoming an in fluential factor in social, educational und tinancial affairs and also in legis lative affairs, both state and national, the fair name of our organization must be protected. There is and will con tinue to be, he says, great effort made by people with wares to sell and leg islative matters to promote to in some , way use the word grange in the name adopted to designate their business or 1 scheme in order to deceive the people ! and draw support to the enterprises j by causing them to be known as | grange enterprises. There is absolute- I' ly no justification for this unless the 11 grange or some committee appointed l>y the grange has absolute authority in the management. To be more specific, we may say that un agricultural fair should not be known as a grange fair unless its man agement is In the hands of the grange or has been specifically iudorsed by tlxe grange having jurisdiction. A store should not be known as a grange store unless conducted by the grange or giving special rates to members of the grange through grange authority. A. paper has no real authority for the use of the word grange lu its title un less its policy is directed by the or ganization, but grange departments In papers designed for other fields do not come w;ithin this restriction, for they simply contain grange news and do not carry any policy or responsibility of the grange. The use of the word grange in the title of banks without a controlling Interest in such banks be ing in the hands of directors chosen by the grange, whereby special priv ileges would be secured to members of the grahge, is an unauthorized and improper use of the fair name of the grange. Other instances might be cited in which wrong, impressions are convey ed and the name of the grange placed In great Jeopardy by the use of its name. In a word, the name of our or ganization should be restricted by ac tion of the national grange to such enterprises as at least have their poli cies dictated and their affairs directed by members of the grange In some of ficial capacity, for any other ceurse in case ot disaster would bring much odium upon us, even though we have no opportunity to prevent such disas ter. We do not undertake to say that an agricultural fair, store, paper or bank using the name grange In Its title should necessarily be financed by the organization, but we do most em phatically assert that the use of the name carries with It or should carry with It the authority to dictate the pol ! icy and diwet its general management.
