Mr. Joseph Shatter of Laporte Township had the misfortune of losing |his valuable team of horses during the past three weeks, one during the past week from effected kidneys. While this is si financial loss that is keenly felt by Mr. Shaffer, he turns to the good old optimistic way of viewing misfortune and places himself in that class of men who always find material from the wreck and debris of disaster with which to rebuild and always goes about the task with the bright sun of courage shining in their faces, blinding their eyes to the disconsolate stornts about them. Losses of this size at this season of year sets mighty hard on a farmer who can ill afford it. But Joseph says his former work is go ing on just the same. Ami it will.

GRANGE BANKS. Pennsylvania Has Twenty of Them, With Resources of About $3,000,000. Through flic grange organizations in the state of Pennsylvania there has been worked out a practical demon stration of the fact that farmers are able to have and successfully operate their own financial institutions, in the short space of about three years, says I'ast Master Ilill, some twenty banks and one trust company have been organized. The capital stock of these institutions is considerably over $1,000,000, and their resources at this time approximate $3,000,000. There are about 3,000 shareholders in these various institutions, aud while the institutions all receive the usual examination by tlie state and federal authorities they are also audited and thoroughly examined at frequent in tervals by private auditors specially employed for this purpose by the insti tutions themselves. They are so or ganized that not one of thoin is in any way responsible for the operation of another, nor is there any liability at tached to the state grange as an or ganization. This movement has, how ever, done much to popularize the, grange and indicates the progressive character of the membership In the state. A Woman State Inspector. Miss Dora Ellis, who holds the office of poniona in the Ohio state grange, is one of the women visitors or inspectors of workshops and factories. She spent most of the winter in Columbus. She was called to Cincinnati for six weeks' work and then sent to Columbus for the third week in April. She next vis ited Marion and Delaware in her offi cial capacity. Fire and Tornado Insurance. The Kansas Fatrons' Fire and Tor nado association has decreased the cost of insurance to grange farmers of flint state by fully one-half. It is now carrying $8,280,000 In risks on some thing over 4,000 policies. The cost on ,-ach SI,OOO for 1008 was $2.17. The president and treasurer each draw the munificent salary of SSO each. The business agent of the Ohio state grange reports combined purchases by the members In that state last year of SIO,OOO worth of binder twine. Orphan's Court Sale of Real Estate.
