Interesting Session of l'oinonu
Grange, Xo. 41, nt llnnillnton.
Wayno County Pomona Grange,
No. 41, met with Salem Grange,
No. 9G5, at Hamllnton on July 21),
1009. Regular session was opened
In ritualistic form In the 4th de
gree with Worthy Master V. W.
llaker in the chair and all vacancies
filled by appointment. After a
song by the Grange the Worthy Mas
ter gave the opening address. Din
ner was announced and all retired
to the dining room where every
thing was in readiness. The tables
looked very inviting, being laden
with good things.
Grange came to order again at
1:U0, and the hall was well filled
with patrons from all over the
county, some having started the
day previous, in order to be pres
ent on time to pass friendly greet
ing and to become better acquainted
with members of this great body
of farmers. After reading the
minutes, the following committees
were appointed:
Soliciting I. G. Williams, Mrs.
Clarence Stevens, Miss Belle Stev
ens. Resolutions Rev. J. H. Boyce,
P. L. Hartford, Clifford Gray.
Entertainment Rev. J. B.
Cody, Mrs. E. W. Hine, I. G. Wil
liams, F. M. Shaffer.
Time and Place W. H. Bullock,
I. P. Taylor, C. C. Gray.
The meeting was now given in
charge of the Worthy Lecturer, M.
G. Noble. Rev. J. H. Boyce ex
tended to all a very cordial wel
come and O. N. Bates of Labor
Grange ably responded. Ethel
Fields gave a recitation, and a song
was so well rendered by H. R.
Samson that he was heartily encor
ed. E. E. Kinsman of Cherry
Ridge, read an interesting paper on
Thorough Bred Stock vs. Scrub
Stock, and a lively discussion fol
lowed. Question. Does it pay to feed
cows at this time of the year?
Answer. Yes and no. If the
cow is a good one and worth keep
ing and the pasture short, the
speaker thinks it would pay, as a
shrinkage in the How of milk at
this time of the year, could not he
regained later on when the prices
for milk are at their best.
Theodore Klein, of Union Grange,
moved that a memorial service be
held this afternoon for our deceased
brother, Russell Swingle, of Hope
Grange, the last charter member
Identified with Wayne Pomona
Grange, but for want of time the
sad and solemn rites had to bo
postponed.
In accordance with previous ar
rangements, U. G. Ridgeway was
on hand with his camera to photo
graph the officers of Pomona and
members of Salem Grange. The
picture is to be presented to Salem
Grange as a special prize from
Pomona for successfully holding the
Pomona banner for two success-
sive quarters. Pomona came to
order in the 5th degree and the !
solieiting committee reported six
teen candidates, who were then ini
tiated into the order in full form.
A resolution was adopted re
questing visiting members hereafter
to bring with them and wear while
attending the Pomona, the badge
of their respective Grange, so that
one can toll at a glance what Grange
they are connected with.
On account of the many Patrons
of Husbandry present and it being
advertised as a public meeting this
evening, it was necessary to loo'k'
for more commodious quarters,
consequently the M. E. church waS
opened to us and it was quickly
filled with a class of people who
are a credit to any church or so
ciety. Promptly at S o'clock the
assemblage was called to order, and
atter the choir had rendered "The
Battle Song of the Republic," Rev.
J. B. Cody of Bethany, led in
fervent prayer. As is customary
the Worthy Lecturer at this time
assumed the chair and Introduced
Rev. C. II. Brant, of Wilkes-Barre,
superintendent of the County Tem
perance League, who gave us a
very earnest plea in behalf of the
causo ho represents. The program
of the evening was as follows:
Song by P. M. Shaffer of Gravity;
recitation, "I Have Drunk My Last
Glass, Boys," by O. N. Bates, who
was encored; glee by the choir;
recitation by Elma Peet; selection
by the choir, "Consider the Lillles";
recitation by Viola Lutz; organ
duet, Anna and Marion Boyce, con
eluded the evening's program whicn
was an unusually good one. Good
order and much Interest prevailed
throughout the exorcises.
At 0:30 tho next forenoon, Po-
mona opened In the Fourth decree,

hold It for the next quarter.
A motion also prevailed that all
Granges falling to send in their re
ports to the secretary In time for
the reading of the same, shall be
debarred from the contest of win
ning the prize.
A letter wns read from X, B.
Crltchileld, secretary of agricul
ture, and James Foust, dairy and
food commissioner, warning farmers
and dairymen everywhere to bo on
the nlerl, as it is expected that the
manufacturers of oleomargarine
will soon make a strike for the re
moval of the tax of ten cents per
pound which now prevails.
To the delight of all present, Mr.
and Mrs. K. W. Hine, of Orson,
rendered n duet. Rev. J. B. Cody
gave an Instructive talk on the bene
fits of the Initiative and referendum.
Rev. J. U. Boyce offered the follow
ing resolution:
Whereas, It has pleased the
Great Master of the Universe to re
move from our midst our beloved
brother, Russell Swingle, and
Whereas, He was one of the char
ter members of the Pomona Grange
and a most loyal member of Hope
Grange, therefore be it
Resolved, That we bow in humble
submission to the Divine will and
extend to the bereaved family our
heartfelt sympathies; and that a
copy of these resolutions be spread
on the minutes and the secretary
send a copy to Sister Swingle.
Signed, J. H. Boyce, P. L. Hart
ford, C. C. Gray.
W. H. Bullock read a paper on
"Some of the Injurious Insects and
Conditions of Some of the Orchards
In Wayne County." A motion pre
vailed that the paper be published
in the county papers.
The committee offered the fol
lowing resolutions which were
adopted :
1st. Resolved, That the thanks
of this Pomona Grange are hereby
tendered to Salem Grange, and the
people of Hamllnton, for the de
lightful entertainment they have
given us during these sessions.
2nd. That we thank the choir

music they furnished for the pub
lic session.
3rd. That we thank all of those
who gave us the excellent recita
tions.
4th. That wo thank the trustees
of the M. E. church for the use of

great pleasure to the excellent ad

local option question which furnished
the main feature for the open ses
sion. Signed: J. II. Boyce, P. L.
Hartford, C. C. Gray.
The time allotted for the Pomona
meeting having expired, Grange
closed in regular form, and wo were
onre more ushered into the spaci
ous dining room, and feasted to
our hearts' content on the many
good things so ably and amply pro
vided by the lady members of
Salem Grange. Here for the first
time the writer met brothers .1. H
Boyce and W. II. Alt, who were
active members of the Grange twen-
ty years ago, and whose names are
frequently recorded in the Pomona
minutes as living witnesses for the
good of the order and of mankind
romona urange was indeeii very
fortunate in being privileged to
meet in such a neat country hamlet
as Hamllnton and among sucli
number of hospitable people, whose
hearts and doors were thrown open
for the royal entertainment of the
visiting members. Dinner over,
our desires naturally turn home'
ward, but we could not help noting
the contrast taking place In a few
brief minutes. Here we had been
forming now acquaintances and
warm friendships that will follow us
through life, but, alas, we must
now separate for the timo of our
departure is at hand and wo give
to each a parting word. As we
journey to our homes wo carry
with us the most pleasant recollec
tions of our meeting with friends
and Patrons in Hamllnton and
Salem Grange.

"THE CLIMAX."

the Talk of Xew York for Months,
Joseph II .Weber's novelty play,
"The Climax," by Edward Locke,
one of the most substantial successes
of recent years, will bo seen in thi
city, during the season. The
beauty of this littlo play lies in its
simplicity. Tho author gets far
away from the conventional idea o
1 cheap sentiment and offers a play-
. lot teeming with real heart inter
1 est, bright, sparkling comedy and
n love element that is interestln
enough to appeal to tho heart o
tho most blase theatre-goer, "the

heart interest, is said to outrival

Montlcello's Great Mistake.
Because of Monticello's compara- i
tive freedom from disastrous llres in
past years the residents had become
possessed with the idea that tne
illage was Immune from tliat
dreaded element of destruction, and
consequently many had reduced the
amount of Insurance Instead of in
creasing it. As a consequence when
Tuesday night's great lire swept
over the village not one-tnird of the
loss was covered by Insurance.
P. S. This item isn't paid for by
insurance people.
IX MEMOKIAM.
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty
God to remove from our midst
George L. Myer, our fellow club
member, who died August the sev

therefore,
Resolved, that we sympathize with
his family in the untimely death of
the son and brother, who was Just
n the prime of his manhood, with
every promise of a bright and use
ful future, and who was honored
and esteemed by all who knew
him.
Resolved, that we shall greatly
miss our friend and fellow member,
who, by his genial manner and
high character, had endeared him
self to every member of our Club.
Resolved, that a copy of these
resolutions be entered upon
the i
records of our club, a copy sent
to the bereaved family, and publi
cation made In the local papers.

"Kid" licogan at Liberty.
Tho New York American, of
Wednesday last, has the following
concerning "Kid" Reegan, lormcrly
of Honesdale:
Pate took a strange turn yester
day, when, with former Police Lieu
tenant Frank Peabody on the eve
ot possible restoration to tho Con-
tral Office Detective Bureau, from
which he was dismissed as a result
of tho Howard Gould divorce case,,
"Kid" Reegan, whom Peabody had ,
relentlessly pursued lor tne Killing
of Roy Walter Joyce several years
ago, was released on ?3,riOU bail.
Tho release of Reegan followed
an announcement from the District
Attorney's oillce that most of tho
witnesses in tho case had fled.
Reegau's bail had gradually been
reduced from $13,000, the amount
fixed when ho was first captured
1 don't know, of course, what I
could do with the case," said Pea
body last night, "but if there ever
was a conviction which 1 earnestly
desired to get it was Reegan's.
Should I bo restored to tho Police lor who is a regular patron of a circu
Department there is nothing I latlng library dropped In there the
would like better than to bo per
mitted to go after this case and to
send the man to prison. This I
would like to do not only because I
he is a criminal, but because the !
Imputation has been made that I ,
was not serious in my efforts to j
'get him.' i
Reegan has one brother in prison
at the present time. He was in the i
Barrell saloon on West Thirteenth !
street about three years ago when
Joyce, a member of tho Seventy
first Regiment, was hacked to pieces
with a knife after a quarrel between
some of those present over a wo
man. Peabody brought out the
facts that Reegan had the only
knife seen that night and ho was
Indicted, but he had lied. Then
came the rumors that Peabody had ,
shielded him, and in his private
capacity the ex-detective took up
the case and traced his man to Cali
fornia, back to Xew York and out
to the Coast again.
The Reason At Last.
You, possibly, aro a woman, and
don't understand why you have al
ways been considered inferior which
you are not to the male being.
Well, here, according to Mrs. Pierce
Bailey, woman suffragist, of Xew
York, is tho explanation:
"The present Inferiority of woman
dated back from the time of tho
great days of Babylonia, when wo
men wero tho personal property of
their husbands or fathers and wero
lcept secluded In their harems from
. .... ... , ,
an uppuriunuy io acquire buuwi-
C(rrC-
Since thoso times woman has over
been belittled in tho public opinion.
The praiso of mankind has gone,
as a protective measure, to tho wo
men of beauty and Its antithesis to
thoso of learning. There is a dis
tinct sex antagonism.
The only woman who is not ex
ploited Is tho servant girl. Tho men
do not care about or aro afraid of
her. Sho has tho ability to caro for
herself. The factory girl Is ex
ploited; tho working alrls of all
classes and trades aro exploited;
ven tho married woman with thir
teen children Is explore'. There- Is

a lecture to the senior class of a Now

An Anatomical Wonder.
A certain highly respected congress
man makes many queer blunders of
speech. A constituent, visiting him re
cently, complained of the shabblness
of a pair of ink stained crash trousers
that he had on.
"A man of your position," said the
constituent reproachfully, "ought . to
wear handsomer trousers than those."
The congressman, offended, answer-
cd reproachfully:
"My trousers may bo shabby, but
they cover a warm and honest heart."
