— • — 1 i • By a Crass*. ' 1 The spring meeting of the Cape May | Pomona or County Grange at Palermo ( last Saturday was well attended, every ! ■ subordinate grange of the county being ■ represented in onusual numbers. It j means much to. bare the beet men and j women from every part of the county • meet' Jour times in a year, for a J»y. | a dinner and a laugh together and has, i more than anything else, tended toward « making all between Beesleys and Cape ' May, and from bay to ocean as one eom- i munity. | ] " Worthy Master Frank E. Bate,^ of j 1 the Cold Spring Grange was chairman, l *nd Llewellyn Hildreth, of Rio Grande, < was overseer. All of the seven looal < granges of the county reported progress i ■ad increasing in interest, Tuckaboe and < Stone Harbor being in the lead in the ' number of their new members, and Dias ' ( Creek' and Cold Spring, having most to i tell of the fun and social gain they were 1 getting out of it. The Committee on ] Fifth Degree Team reported the gxempli- 1 fication of the Pomgpa Degree had been ' ' deferred to the. winter, as there Jiad not ! 1 been time for preparation and would not i be from this on until autumn. New I ] members added to the Committee were, 1 i Sisters Burley, of Tuckahoe, Risley of 1 Stone Harbor, and Madara, of Pelermo. < The course taken by Senator Ackley, < of Cumberland County, against the Bill j for the incorporation of Stone Harbor, ■ and in which he made unwarranted as- 1 sertions -before the Senate against the ( Grange as an organization, and the Cape j j May County " Granges and the §tone | j Harbor Grange in particular was the I ■ topic of the hew business period and led 1 ( to the appointment of Past Masters J. ]i . Campe and Charles E. Foster and 1 1 Overseer Hildreth as a committe to I ) formulate resolutions giving the sense of a the meeting concerning it, and who re- j ported at the afternoon Session as fol- ( "Whereas, In a speech against the ) Stone Harbor Borough Bill in the Senate | _ of the State of New Jersey during the j present session of the Legislature, Senator John A. Ackley, Senator from Cum- . berland County, spoke slightingly and j contemptuously of Stone Harbor Grange ■No. 199, P. of H., disparaging the organization and ridiculing its purpose, and, Whereas, The Pomona of Cape May County, composed of seven granges of which Stone Harbor is one, has approved and endorsed the formation of a grange Stone Harbor by admitting it to mem bership and extending all the privileges of the Pomona Degree of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry to members of the - Stone Harbor Grange without reserve and with the unqualified approval of the Worthy Master; therefore, be it , • "Resolved. That we, members of Po- j ' Grange of Cape May County, nt : this our quarterly meeting, held at Pal- j*1 crino, this fourth day of Aphil, 1914, ' do hereby censure and condemn -the at- ! n tack on our Grange organization by Sen- | ator Ackley as contemptible, unjustified j ' and malicious, and as unworthy the high i ' office lie holds, and we do on behalf of • nearly 1000 members . of the seven j 1 grange organizations of Cape May County, hereby express our unqualified ' disapproval of Senator Ackley's- course. ' And, be it further 1 "Resolved, That we hereby direct our f Worthy Master and Worthy Secretary send copies of their resolutions to * members of the Senate of the State of ' Jersey, the granges of the counties ' of Cape May and Cumberland and to the 1 s press, in order that the widest publicity j ' possible be given to this our answer to • ' Senator Ackley for his wanton affront ! ' to our organization." This was adopted by unanimous "vote. ] " The finances were shown to be in good : condition. Several new members were admitted. The summer meeting, it was | f agreed, should be an outing and the in- < Yitatlon to go to Stone Harbor in Jtiir ; , was accepted. The Rio Grande Grange invited the Pomona to be its guest for the autumn meeting and which was c accepted. 0 The dinner, which at Pomona meetings makes the break between business ( and entertainment, was beyond compare the cooking and variety and quality t and of all that goes to make up such I things. None expected chicken potpie t (the main stay of Pomona dinners) at c Palermo, as its specialty is baked beans S and brown bread and in this it can give Boston points and yet win out. But, Sister Schellenger, hardly had her bon- r net off before she was sniffing at the c odor coming up from the cook room. S

fifty pounds of flour and Hattie Striae* this besides the beans and salads and' cold meats and vegetables and relishes land appetisers and dressings and desserts, and, after the meeting was over a to go home on. Bio Grande will ha\ e something to do to match that "spread." The afternoon seasio was open and with the Lecturer, A. D. T. Howell, presiding'. The "Welcome" given by Henry master of the Palermo Grange, wis with" response by Frank K. Bate, | of the Palermo Grange, Two j little a Palermo kiddies sang a song of J the springtime, to the accompaniment of their mother on the guitar, malcing of the hits of the afternoon. Other music was, vocal solos by Mrs. Mowbfejr, t of Palermo, and Miss Alice 8tewart, -of — : Tuckahoe, and ringing by the Palermo Other entertainment was, a monologue by Captain Smith, ofTuckahoe; dialogues, "Why they joined the I and "Aunt * Betsy's Beau." by Palermo members; a reading by Mrs. Homan, of Tuckahoe. and a recita- . tion by Miss Maggie Cameron, of PelerThe lecture of the session was by J Prof. G. W. Martin, p{ New Brunswick, "Plant Diseases," and was exevplionally good. Referring to the potato diseases be recommended the greatest in preventing the possible spread ol If by mistake when cutting seed the knife strikes a diseased tuber, said, don't use the knife upon a sound tuber without first disinfecting it by | placing it in water containing a disinoctant, as formaldehyde. Better keep - I several knives at hand and with all but the one that is being used kept in the ,ffuid and changed often. He also told l the uses of the Bordeaux Mixture and to prepare it. Prof. Malthy, of the School, followed and was dereminiscent, telling of old days on his father's farm in Michigan, Taken as a whole it was a day that will . long be remembered. fIF YOU HAD A NECK 18 LONG AS THIS FELLOW, 50RETHR0AT ^ 1 DOWN ONSILINE WOULD QUICKLY BELIEVE IT. 15c. and 5Cc.

Yellow popjnr. or tulip tree, the largI est broad-leaf tree in America, lias been ' to reach nearly 200 feet in height I and 10 feet in diameter. Pennsylvania has about seven and one i million acres of timberland, oneeighth of which is owned by the state, j The total value of the state's timber is 139 million dollars. Mistletoe thives on the western coasts to an extent .not approached in the cast. In many places this parasitic growth is responsible, directly or indirectly, for a considerable loss of timber. Forest officers in Washington and plan to discontinue the use of wire on tlieir forests. They say wire lias no advantage over I smooth wire, that it injures stock, and ; that it Is more likely to be borne down i by soft snow. Stockmen on the Ochoco j forest, in Oregon, recently constructed I drift fences of smooth wire, though with some misgivings; now they say, they will never use barbed wire again. j "The Place of Honeymoons" will i start on April 18th, in the Cape May Star and Wave.
