PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY. The annual meeting of the Connec- ticut State Grange was held this week at Hartford, with a large attendance and a programme full of importance in a number of subjects. The annusl address of Worthy State Master Leon - urd H. Healey of Woodstock 'pl'e!ented many matters for thoughtful consider: ation. He spoke in part as follow: s we have labored in this thé first year of our second quarter of a century, as a state grange, our labors have been abundantly blessed. Gained 1,660 Members in 1910. “While in 1904 and 1306 we did not hold_qur own in 1908 the dial turned and since then we have forged ahead, gaining 580 in 1907, 360 in 1908, 1,060 in 1909, and 1,660 in 1910. Now we have a total of nearly 15,000 members. May we not, indeed, feel proud of our past year's work? it is pleasing to be able to say that in nearly all of the granges there is a sense of respon- sibility for the principles for which they stand, and a determination to im- press upon the citizens of that com- munity that being a ‘granger’ means something and is an aid to the build- ing of nobler and better lives and the making of happier homes. “Our Pomonus are doing excellent work. most of them realizing the point which we have labored so constantly to impress, that they should be ‘mod- | for the subordinate granges to fol- low, have striven faithfully to that end. The results of their example ‘is apparent in the improvement of many of our subordinate granges. Summer Picnics and Field Meetings. One of the most pleasing features are the summer picnics or fleld meet- ings, which have become an estab- lished factor for promoting the wel- fare of the order in Connecticut. They are looked forward to mnot only by our members, but by our friends a well. their popularity than the high qual- ity of citizenship that annually attend these meetings. It is still my opin- fon that the fleld meeting held upon some well kept farm is by far pro- ductive of the best results both to ths visitors and the visited.” The worthy state master advocated a closer connection between the grange and the Conn?;:‘ucul Agricul- tural college, urgl t the master of the grangé should be, ex-officio, a tdm of the college, and continuing - “At the present time its most urgent need is room, approptiations, that may seem large will be asked for at this wession of the legislature, and it is the duty of each one of you to impress up- on your reptesentatives that only and furnishings absolutely necessary for the usefulness of the wollege will be asked for. Economy in State Government. “Increase of expenditures in our wtate government, and .a lack of cor- responding increased revenue was the cause of laying a state tax by our last legislature. Some of us did not think it necessary, but only three A‘D' peared before the committee to op] it, and those three from A Windham courty. “It seems to us that a finance com- mittee of one from each county, ap- pointed by the governor, together with the board of control, doing away with our legislative committee on ap- propristions, would go a long way toward lessening our state’s expenses. The question of taxation and the ex- penditures of moneys thus raised is the most important question that can come before us as farmers at this ses- sion. Parcels Post. “In watters of national legislation the grange has accomplished much, & great deal of which has called for the earnest, strenuous effort of years. This is true of the parcels post. We believ that the protracted and per- istent agitation for a parcels post is roaching a climax. “In_many instances it would wipe out the entire regiment of middlemen, who stand between the consumer and producer. For Instance, it would en- able the farmer to sénd his eggs and butter direct to the city consumer, over the heads of jobber, commission merchants and grocers. It would mean a saving to the sonsuming pub- He of $20,000,(00 a year and a gain to producer if another $25,000,000 Express rates would be regulated downward with a chopping knife. Opposes Repeal of Grout Bill. “Dairying in Connecticut is one of our leading industries, and unless we keep our eyes open, the so-called ut bill,’ which places a tax of ten cents upon each pound of oleo- margarine, will be repealed. This would mean a loss of thousands of dollars to our dairymen. Every effort should be made to Petain this bill or a stronger one upon our statute book. “The state master dwelt in . the large expenditures for good roads and advocated measures to restrict the reckless speeding of automobiles anl the consequent injury to the high- ways. % Help Given by the Press. “If the influence and help to us of the press had to be paid for in funds out of our treasury we would soon ap- preciate its worth. There is no single power that does as much for us as the press, and the only reason it does not do more is because we do not give it the opportunity. Our daily and weckly papers are more than willing to disseminate, among the reading public, the many good things which so many of our granges enjoy during the lecturer’s hour. Nothing could be more conducive to a healthy growth in our order than the publishing of sume of our most interesting pro- grammes. Our personal thanks and the thanks of our membership are due to the dafiies and weeklies which have accorded tho use of their columns to us so courteously. “1_would recommend that through | the lecturers more emphasis be placed upon the different branches of our srange work, the Patrons’ Mutual Fire Insurance company and the Pa- trons’ Exchange, believing that many of the members throughout the state do not realize the value of these de- partments of our order. “The lecturers of our granges may also well take an interest in the de- gree work as a means of education. In contrasting the degree work of a few years ago with that of today, we can see that we are working upon a much higher plane and that wonder- ful progress has been made. It should be the ambition of every officer to render the beautiful lectures of the in & manner in ke-vln‘ with the lesson they teach.” WOMAN’'S RELIEF CORPS. Sedgwick corps, No. 18, balloted once ‘on candidates at its regular meeting, which was held on Friday afierneon at the Buckingham Memorial, the president, Mrs. Harriet L. Kinney, presiding.

The work of registering the blind of the state has been conducted dur- ing the past year with the result that a list of names and addresses of more than 800 blind or partially blind per- sons has been made. During the year 76 blind or partially blind per- sons have received instruction and training under the supervision of the board. Of these 54 were children and 22 were adults. Three two boys and one girl, were assigned to the Per- kins institution and _ Massachusetts school for the blind; 51, 29 boys and 22 girls, to the school of the Connec- ticut institute for the blind; and the adults, 12 men and 10 women, to the department of trades of the latter in- stitution. ASKED TO AID PARENTS. Waterbury Board of Education Might Supply Glasses to Peer Children, Etc. ‘Tuesday the assistance of the board of charity was asked by Medical In- spector Goodenough, says the Water- bury Republican, in’ providing pupils in the public schools suffering from defective eyesight with glasses, and in other cases, where the children suffer- ed from adenoids, in providing for an operation at the hospital. The board was desirous of aiding Dr. Goodenough in his work of bettering the health of | the school children, but decided to in- vestigate as to its rights in this field of helpfulness. The cost would not be large, being estimated at $200, and thus would mean relief for 100 chil- dren. The board year without a deficit in any depart- ment. Dr. Goodenough was. given the free- dom of the floor by the board in or- der that he might explain the natur: of his errand. He said that the recent medlcal inspection which is made ob- Hgatory by the state once in three years, had been completed in the fall It revealved a number of children who were suffering from defective vision and many more who were afflicted with adenoids. The parents could not afford to buy glasses in many of these cases. There would be no question as to the obliga- tion in the case of children of indigent parents, who were receiving aid from the board, but something should be done for the children of poor people who were not charges upon the city. The examination was made by the principals and _teachers once every three years, and the parents were no- tified of the defects in vision and whare adenoids existed. If the state requires this inspection it is with the idea that something should be done about it, and sending home notices to the parents who could not comply with the request for glasses was a farce. What he would like was au- thorization from the board to supply fifty children with glasses and have the adenoids removed in the cases of a like number. They could be operat- ed on at St. Mary’s hospital for $2 without an anaesthetic and for $5 with it. The state would only have to care -for children not born in this country.
