Mohr, secretary of the or chardists organization, announces that the I'ine Grove Grange has resumed its regular series of monthly winter meetings. The Grangers assemble and spend the day in discussion of prob lems that confront the rancher. The first of the meetings was held on Jan uary 15. Mid-day dinners, dispensed with as a wartime conservation, have been resumed. "We had real chicken, pie ami cake with frosting on it," says Mr. Mohr, "but the January meeting was just a teaser, compared with what we are going to have on February l!t. on that (late the roll call will he held, and all members are urged to be present. Mr. Mohr continues: Now that the war is over, lets get together and receive each others help, also take advantage of all the help we can from the outside and pull all to gether. This little copied article might merest every tanner and members ot the grange. lhe United Mates income tax re port of 191(5, just uublished shows that out of tiO.OOO.OOO farmers only 13.40" paid an income tax or earned an income of $.'i,000 or over. Thus one farmer in a little over 400 has earned enough to pay an income tax, while one out of every 200 teachers, one out of every 80 clergymen, one out of every 22 travel ing men, one out oi every 14 doctors. one out of every nine engineers, one lawyer in every five, one banker in every five, paid income taxes and at that ot the few farmers who paid in come tax, 44 per cent paid on less than $5,000. And .still the consumer thinks the farmer is getting rich. The con sumer is not to blame either for he is surely paying enough. The distribut ing system is wrong and to blame for these conditions, therefore it is up to us to get together and see what can be done to divide up part of the proceeds that is lost in between. P. G.

The pro posed work, estimated at an approxi mate $400, will consist largely of log diversion dams. It will eliminate a second channel, which the county will likely have to bridge, and will insure a larger head of water for the irriga tion district. 0-W. R. & N. Co.
