Thua it "l 1 een that the election of officer lone costs over $1,000. The secret bal lot la a fundamental principle, but se crecy In voting may be accomplished In different waya. The method In vogue In New York state whereby the entire delegations are required to pass before the ballot box for each of the thirteen officers to be elected, and aa often again as no election may result, la al together too clumsy and expensive, both as to time and money, and what la true of the state grange Is also true of the Toniona and subordinate grange where these methods are iouuw-u. We believe the Pennsylvania system U a marked Improvement over thU one. In that state thirteen ballot box are provided, one for each of the of fices. Each delegate Is provided with a ballot on which Is printed the name of the thirteen offices to be filled, and opposite each one he writes the nam of the candidate for whom he desires to vote.. The thirteen ballot boxes be ing placed side by side In convenient position, the delegate body passes be fore the same, tearing off. first, the bal lot for the master and depositing It; second, for the overseer and depositing . tnr th lecturer, and so on un til' the entire list of thirteen offices bas been Toted for. V hen mere is majority on the first ballot the proc ess of election la completed at one time, and we are told It never requires more than one session In Pennsylvania to elect officers. This method can be easily adapted by subordinate and To mona granges as well as by state granges, and we deem the suggestion one worthy of a trial at least A Warklaa Graae. tc- mncnw in anv state have ac complished more effective work than Fruitland of Camden. Del. A commit tee of fifteen of its members was ap pointed to appear before the committee of congress on rivers and harbors to secure an appropriation for the widen ing and deepening of Jones river. It Is desired that steamers should run to Philadelphia and New Tork daily to accommodate the large and productive fruit and trucking sections through which the river runs. A committee has also been appointed toconsider the advisability of the grange purchasing eeveral acres of land on some public , approach to Camden, and erect thereon an ideal grange home. The land sur rounding the home will be arranged so rt . ana-ffpstive of what each indi vidual farm home should be.

Y.) Pomona. One of the most active counties in New Tork state in grange work is St. lawrence. At the last meeting of its Pomona grange a committee was ap pointed to devise some plan whereby the Pomona grange should become the custodian of a fund to De contriDuieu by subordinate granges to found schol arships for granger boys and girls at Cornell Agricultural college. It also formally placed Hon. George L. Flan ders, now deputy commissioner of ag riculture, in the field aa a candidate for commissioner of agriculture. Mr. Flanders was the last president of the National Farmers' Congress and is a member of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. Graase Iararaace.

' : Her father is a widower, and she is hi onlv daughter, so when Mr. Driver was elected mayor he decid hould undertake such of the duties of a mayoress as might be performed by so mall young woman. And, as the provincial towns of England make almost as much of their executives as London does of its lord mayor, numerous o cial functions already have made do ia little rirl. Not long ago she sat in a large chair on a platform at the opening of a church baiaar, and when the chairman, who sat next to her, an nounced that the mayoress would make the formal opening iauu aroe and in a voice which reached easily all parts of the big room declared firmly, "The show's open." Shortly after having been the guest of honor at the bazaar the mayoress received an invitation to distribute prizes at the towns church schools. The mayor was rather doubtful at first, fearing that the presents mignt appeal io daughter so strongly that she would , hesitate to turn them over to thej winners, but the little girl handed each gift to the pupils indicated! without even a regretful look. So well did she enjoy the proceedings. in fact, that when all the prizes had been given out the little miss asked j her fattier lor some mvrc mmgo give away. t if ViU tinv mavoress the m uuuu.

A few days ago 900 of the poorest in town were invited to the great feast at the town hall, and when they Jiad eaten their fill of good things, such as many of them had hardly dared df earn about before, the little may oress appeared and said a few timid words of greeting. A Difficult Bottle Feat. Here we have the picture of a boy with a bottle standing on the back of his head. You will say per haps that you can easily perform that little feat, and we do not doubt that vou can, but that is only the first step in the amusing task that we are going to set for you. We want you, if you please, to balance a bottle on the back of your head and then to stoop down and pick up a silver quarter from the floor with your lips and rise again, all without letting the bottle fall or touching it with your hand. If you think the experiment might be fa tal to the integrity of the bottle that, in other words, there might be and Cbe gooi - The Home of QUALITY Pcopk's fob Store Th Homo of LOW PRICES iiirhiist'd it W lm' f HOK8 V 7 HTH . cU,.rnnnai.m to ..-euro th, v.ry l. p. ,OOI for I.
