Press Correspondent Acw York State Oranue - THE GRANGE FAIRS, | They Are Growing In Popularity 1 Every Year. ) Some Suggestions In the Line of Mak ing These Fairs Most Profitable—The j Young People Should Be Given Spe ' I cial Consideration. [Special Correspondence.] ! There is a great opportunity for sub j ordinate granges to do a good work by | | creating an interest in grange fairs, | which are becoming more popular each | year—not fairs got up by many days i ! of planning and of hard work, but j fairs got tip for a day or 1111 evening ! in :i very simple manner. ! There have been both benefit amj i pleasure derived from studying tho | exhibits which were brought in and • arranged as the members came to tho I regular meeting. A part of a day spent | in arranging the exhibits of members I living nearest the hall would of course J make it possible to have them ar i ranged more artistically, and the wo | man's work committees would be just j the ones to have it in charge. Lot each member label his exhibits with his j name and the name of the variety of | the fruits, flowers, grains and vegcta | bles which lie exhibits. T)o not try to give prizes to tho older members, as it would take much time and trouble to judge the exhibits and award so many prizes, and much valu able discussion among the members concerning the different varieties of fruits and vegetables and tho best methods of growing fliem would be lost, for no one would know to whom the different exhibits belonged if the i names were left off so that they might be judged, but begin right now to In terest your grange in offering first and second prizes to the children for a few things to be grown by them this year j and exhibited at a grange fair next , fall. Have a special committee appointed : to name some half dozen tilings to be grown by them, such as carrots, beets, popcorn, squash, sunflowers and as ters, and to take charge of the pur chasing of the premiums, which need not necessarily be expensive in order to please the children. Let them have a special table for their exhibits, and do all that you can to make it interest ing for them, and you will be doing something toward helping to keep the boys and girls on the farm. Exhibits of fancy work and of old relics have been made very interesting in many granges where they have room to dis play them properly LIZZIE A. RUE ADS. PLEASURE "EXERTIONS."

The grange rally, or field day. his been Instituted as a modification of the old time picnic that had no aim beyond that suggested on the spur of the moment or unfailing its big dinner together in the woods. Under the auspices of a live grange the rally is full of purpose. It is a rallying in act, as in name, of all the forces that goto make a strong, vigorous rural life. It aims to promote joy and zeal in de veloping the active resources of the ; farms and farmers both, j The rally is thus more than a day of physical recreation and feasting. | Tlie mind is rested and fed also by I means of as good a program as can be j devised and secured. Pacts of what 1 organized-effort through the grange is I doing for farmers at large are pre sented to those who cannot be reached otherwise, and these same facts are ofteu pressed home upon members in a more forceful way than ever before. Inviting grounds with all convoni | ences for comfort possible and a good ! local program, not too long, to intro duce and sot off the main address are j requisites of the best rally success.— 1 : Exchange. The Grange For Peace. j At the late session of the national grange a commission on International arbitration, with Mortimer Whitehead as chairman, was appointed. Its pur j pose Is to co-operate with tho niimor ( ous peace societies of tho country and ; to carry on a propaganda for Interna j tionnl arbitration. Mr. Whitehead lias been for many years as active grange j worker and was national lecturer dur- I lug the early years of the grange move ment. Warning Ic r Road Supe visors. A case of genera I interst, not only 1 to the people of Bradford county, but aii over Pennsylvania, is the one . which was settled Monday before l Squire Meredith of Towanda. There is a law on the statue hooks jof Pennsylvania which makes ir I | compulsory upon the part of the road supervisors to remove all the j j loose stones from the public high | I ways of their respective townships. | I For a failure to do tiiis there is a j I penalty of $lO tine for each super-j ] visor. Many of the supervisors in j 9 ' Bradford county neglected to com-j . ply with this law and among the) number were the supervisors of I'!-' Ister township. Last week ('. 11. Ross, a rural free I ' delivery mail man running out of • i Ulster village, came to Towatida, j | and before squire Meredith made j t complaint against tho supervisor-, j : charging tlieni with violation of the ! law. Win. Maxwell represented I j the plaintiff and when the parties) 1 I got together, Mr. lto.-s not desiring! I ' ■ to push the case, agreed to with- j draw the complaint if the superyis-1 Mors would remove the troublesome j I stones. This they agreed to do, tho . j complaint was withdrawn, and they ' escaped the £lO line. This should be a warning to all, supervisors. r l'iie majority of pen- I pie like Mr. Boss, have no desire to j j make any trouble for the supervisors, I ! but it obligatory upon their part! ; to obsei .he mandates of the law. Farm for Children. There will he dedicated 011 Thurs day just beyond the limits of Wil j liamsport what will hereafter he j known as a farm for Children. Tbi | farm will be in charge of John L. j (joldy, of Wiiliamsport, who for several years has labored assiduous, ly iu behaif of the poor children of j that city. That farm will be known as a branch of the children's Aid So j ciety of Pennsylvania, whose head- j quarters are in Philadelphia, and will be conducted as a home for ehil-1 dren who are not fortunate in hav-J itig parents to care for them, and in this work Superintendent (Joldy'! will have the assistance of the citi-| /.ens of Wiiliamsport. Mr. (loldy deserves great credit for having established this home. Himself n poor man, he has always had sympathy for the unfortunate orphans in this community and l>\ requesting 112 from the citi zens he fo some years has gathered a large q' untily of clothing and food for sucl poor children whom he | found in the city. By his persist-, ence and through the elforts of the j citizens Mr. Gohfy gradually enlist- j ed the sympathy of men of means in his project, with the result that he was enabled to lease the 112 irm which will in the future he the retreat of children for whom homes will be se- j cured. A great many people worry un-j consciously, -ajs o. S. Maiden in j 'tSuccess Magazine" They don't 1111- derstaud why they are so tired j in the morning, why their sleep w;.- | so disturbed and troubled This mental disturbance is otter caused by the habit of taking thing-; too seriously, carrying too gnat a ■ weight of Responsibility, livery -I; wt lire wo see people who take 111' | too seriously. Most of us are like j the moturman, who not only start- ! 1 and stops the car and tries to keep', from running over people, but also 11 feels tremendous anxiety and n sponsibility about the motive power | One of the most helpful lesson-It life can impart is that which show-, 1 us how to do our work as well as it j s can be done and then let Principle j 1 take care of the result. How often j 1 have we been ama/.ed to find thing j come out much better than we an- I ticipnted; to lind that the great un | seen Power that governs our lives l j through a wilderness of trial and j I tribulations into the open has guided j I our lifeship through storms of hard- j ships and losses, safely into port. The pilot does not loose heart j when he cannot find his way. He h turns to that mysterious contpsa-j t which set s as plainly in the fog, and 1 glides Ms faithfully in the tempest, us 1 when the sea is like glass.
