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.
