Or writ direct to The ApnelCof. Aoutioft, 260 Paxk Avaaua, NnrYork, .rjty EAGLE PT. GRANGE (Official) Jn our short report a few days ago. the attention of the farmers of this community was called to the squirrel poisoning campaign sponsor by the Grange commun ity projects committee. With the assistance of R. G. Fowler, county . agent, the committee will have 250 j Dounds of this oolsoned bar lev nut up in mree. live ana i-Pouna j pucicages ror tne convenience oij the farmer. Farmers may get poison by call ins nt the home of R. A. AVeid man, where It will be for sale nil this week for eight cents a pound. This week is the Grange squirrel poison hi f- week. With the co-op- I eration of all the fnrmers of the community, each carefully cover-' Ing his own property, the destruc-! live work of thUt pest may be ! greatly reduced. ; The complete eradication of this ; pest, however, can never be ac-! complishod without the co-opera tion of. the federal government. Thousands of acres of government land lying adjacent to the farming districts furnish ideal breeding places for these squirrels. Air.' Fowler informs us that there is a slute law that, If enforced, would compel every land owner In a district to poison squirrels on his property. To make this law operative in a district requires that a petition be sent to the secretary of state re questing that the law be made op erative In the district. The peti tion should describe the district and contain the signatures of a certain percentage of property owners of the district. By making the district Inrge enougli to include - adjacent gov ernment land, it seems to us as though the government might also be compelled to poison the squir rels on its property. This might be another worth while community project for the committee to take up. A unique plan, proposed by Mrs. Violet Spencer some time ago, was that each Granger should earn it dollar fur the Orange and tell how they earned It. The lecturer, co operating with Mrs. Spencer, made this plan the feature of the last lecture hour. Moat of the responses were hu morous, some were very bright and witty. Two used pantomime to tell how the dollar was earned, and there was, of course, the usual doggerel. Most of the men, how ever, as was to be expected, hand ed out the same old gags. Two pri7.es were offered, one to the woman and one to the man making the most clever response. The Judges, however (two were old bachelors), ruled that the men de served no prize, so all prizes were given to the women. Mrs. Sarah llowlett and Mrs. M. I. Pruelt each received a box of homo-made candy as first prize. Mrs. Pruett received her high scoro on originality. She sold a dressed chicken to a neighbor. The chicken was brought to the Orange and an exhibition of dressing it was made before the Grange. She asked for hot water and a butcher knife, and on being told there was nothing but hot coffee, Mrs. Pruett, being resourceful, said she could get along without it. She proceed ed to dress the chicken, and when finished it was' passed around the hall for inspection. The chicken was very nicely dreRsed in striped trousers, yellow jacket and a little red hat. It was a proud coccrel, for it won the prize for its mis tress, "i The consolation prizes went to Mrs. Ruby Young and Mrs. Thelma Luy. The judges felt fhey needed consolation because of the humili ating way In which they had earn ed their dollars. Sixty-seven dollars were added to the building fund from the pro gram. Mr. Hill of Derby and Mr. and Mrs. Cowden entertained with sev eral instrumental numbers. Mr. Hill, guitar; Mr. Cowden, violin; Mrs. Cowden, piano. The charter was draped in mem ory of William Holbrook, the brother who recently passed to the great beyond. Mr. Holbrook was a charter member of the Grange and our first treasurer. "While al ways a faithful Granger, he has been unable to attend for some time on account of Illness. The news of his death camo as a shock to his many friends. "In the great closer's itMtness and seclusion, By guardian angels led; Safe from temptation, safe from pollution, He lives, whom wa call dead." The next regular meeting of the Orange will be hold on Tuesday, April 16, at 8 p. m., when the third and fourth degrees will be con ferred on a waiting clacs. During the lecture hour there will ho a debate on the "Equaliza tion Fee" or the McNary-Haugen bill. Three on each side. Koglo Point Juvenile Orange.
