NATIONAL GRANGE.

Manv visitors, from the delegates to the National Grange meetings in Lansing, have been looking about the College the past week. Mr. E . A . Holden, M. A. C. '89, local member of the executive committee, has been instrumental in making the meetings a success and many other M. A. C. men have prominent parts in entertaining the visitors.

T h e College has a fine display in the rotunda of the Capitol, the ex­periment station, botanical depart­ment, women's department and the farm and horticultural departments making exhibits. The displays are arranged around the sides of the rotunda and in the central space rises a pyramid to the height of twelve feet.

In the College exhibit are to be found many varieties of potatoes, and miscellaneous vegetables in great quantity. Garden and farm tools are also in evidence. The il­lustrations of the edible fungi and the effect of fungus diseases in plants is attractive to all the visitors. T h e women's department has a dis­play of sewing, representing differ­ent terms of work from the first to the sixth. All kinds of good things to eat are exhibited in glass cases, and the wood work from the wom­en's department is well displayed.

The mechanical department has an exhibit in the north end of one of the tents in front of the Capitol. Blue prints, samples of woodwork, patterns, and machine designs make up the exhibit.

A t one o'clock Saturday a ban­quet to the officers and delegates was given by the College in the Women's Building. When at the close of the business session in repre­sentative hall Pres. Snyder, on be­half of the faculty and the College, invited the officers and delegates to a banquet, the invitation was unani­mously accepted. Overseer Gardner, of Maine, formed the delegates in a column of twos in representa­tive hall, marching them down the stairs, through the corridors of the Capitol and down Michigan avenue to Washington. There two cars, Nos. 16 and 17, were in waiting. Arriving at the Woman's Build­ing, the visitors were met by a com­mittee from the senior class, and escorted to the dining room. The reception committee consisted of Prof, and Mrs. U. P . Hedrick, Miss Gilchrist, Mrs. H . E . Gilchrist, Mrs. J . K. Haner, Mrs. Mae Gingles, Miss Freyhofer and Miss Avery.

One hundred and fifty covers were laid, there being twelve tables, decorated with chrysanthemums and carnations. Twenty-five girls from the women's department, and all dressed in white, waited on the guests.

Prof. C. D. Smith was toast-master, and the following toasts were announced: Welcome to the delegates, President Snyder; The Relation of the Grange to the Agri­cultural College, Mr. Aaron Jones ; Wha t the Grange and Colleges have done for Women, Mrs. Baird, of Minnesota; Wha t the Grange and the Colleges have done for the Farmer, Mr. Hil!; What the Grange has done for the Business Man, Obadiah Gardiner; The Man First, Business Afterwards, Dr. Edwards ; The College Man in Politics, Gov­ernor-elect Bachelder, of New Hampshire.

There was present at the banquet Hon. R . K. Divine, a member of the legislature of 1855 who voted for the bill establishing the Agri­cultural College. H e takes just pride in the part he took at that time but never expected it to de­velop into such a great institution. Ex-Gov. Cyrus G. Luce was a member of the same legislature but was unable on account of illness to be present. It is believed that these are the only surviving members who took part in the legislation at that time.

The following menu was served:

Creamed Chicken in Timbale Cases Gerkins

Thin Bread and Butter Veal Croquettes Peas

Sliced Ham Sweet Potatoes, en Brochette

Lettuce Rolls Butter Balls

Ice Cream Fondant Cakes

Lady Fingers Macaroons Coffee

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY.

T h e Natural History Society was addressed last Wednesday evening by Prof. Pettit on " T h e Seventeen Year Locust," and" The Angou-mois Grain Moth ." The seventeen-year locust passes seventeen years in an immature stage and when mature lasts for only a few weeks in June . The female deposits eggs in branches of trees and dies, after a few days the larva hatch, fall to the ground and at once burrow out of sight. Here the long, underground exis­tence, lasting seventeen years, be­gins, the larva feeding on the roots of trees, usually at a depth of about two feet.

After seventeen years the pupa comes to the surface on some warm evening in early June , and climbs on some support, as a tree or build­ing, and changes to the adult condi­tion. This change takes place by the pupa skin splitting down the back and the winged insect emerg­ing.

T h e breeding ground is wood­land and usually oaks are preferred; the clearing of large areas in the past twenty years has led to constant decrease in the number of these insects. In the South a race of this species exist which performs its changes in thirteen years.

In the entire United States there are twenty-two distinct broods which

mature at well known periods and cover well defined areas, Michigan is visited by four of these broods, one of which made its last appear­ance in 1898, another in 1902, another in 1902, another will appear in 1905, and the other in 1911. The adult insect very rarely feeds, what­ever damage is done, being done during the laying of the eggs but this usually amounts to no more than a slight pruning but if this occurs in a young orchard it may prove harm­ful. Many more interesting facts were brought out but space will not permit of mentioning them.

The Angoumois grain moth ( sit-oroga cerealla), an insect which takes its name from a province in France, and which in the south is considered by far the worst enemy of stored grain, has just arrived in Michigan. Nearly two hundred years ago it was introduced into North Carolina and since that time its history has been that of devastation. It works on the inside of the kernels of all the grains leaving the shell intact; often it is not noticed till the grain is weighed when its lack of weight causes an examination. It is about the size of the clothes moth, the wings measuring one-half inch or less from tip to tip. T h e remedy consists in storing the grain in large masses and fumigating with carbon bi-sulphide.

Of the forty who were present there were only three ladies. W e were pleased to see these three and hope the ladies of the College will take an interest in this work and come out to our meetings. The subjects discussed are usually sub­jects which have just as much inter­est for the ladies as for the men. Our next meeting will be Wednes­day evening, Nov. 26.

LOCKET P R E S E N T E D T O JUDGE C A R P E N T E R .

At four o'clock Friday afternoon all the jurors in the Wayne circuit court, with some of the judges and court officials were assembled in one of the court rooms. Judge Car­penter, M. A . C. '75, was called in after these gentlemen had assembled, and a very handsome gold locket, mounted with a diamond and emer­alds was presented to the judge. Mrs. Carpenter also received a bouquet of beautiful flowers.

J u d g e Carpenter takes his place on the supreme court bench today.

The following was held over from last week: At the regular meeting of the Debating Club Thursday evening the subject: "Resolved, Tha t there is greater gain to the student body through large delegations away from the College than by closer attention to the routine college duties." In the absence of the affirmative speakers Prof. W . O. Hedrick and Mr. C. B. Collingwood were appointed by the chair in their stead. Messrs. Gunson and R . G. Thorns present­ed the negative side. Judges decid­ed in favor of the affirmative. The subject was well handled and the •speakers deserved a larger audience.

THE M. A. C. RECORD.

<£ A B O U T T H E C A M P U S . <&

The new men now have their military suits.

M. L . Ireland, ' o iw , visited over Sunday at M. A. C.

Born, to Prof, and Mrs . R . S. Shaw on Thursday, November 13, a son.

Olivet, having beaten M. A. C. and Albion, looks very much like the winner.

It is very likely that an excursion will be run to Albion for the M. A. C.-Albion game.

Mr. C. D. Woodbury of Lansing is building a fine house on his lot south of Prof. Towar 's residence. Prof. Dandeno will occupy the new house when completed.

A likeness and sketch of Prof. Breckenridge, formerly professor of mechanical engineering at M. A. C , appeared in a recent issue of the Chicago Record- Herald on the smoke nuisance on which he is con­sidered an authority. H e is now connected with the University of Illinois.

T h e following notice appeared in the Sunday Free Press: "The re will be a meeting of the former students and graduates of the Mich­igan Agricultural College at the Light Infantry Armory, Congress St., east, for the purpose of organiz­ing an M. A. C. Alumni association. Many of the old students have been consulted and all are heartily in favor of the organization. It is hoped that everyone interested will make an extra effort to be present at this meeting." Signed, Member of the Class '02.

Mrs. Phillips, of Davison, is visit­ing her daughter Bessie.

Messrs. Bennett and Horton, of '02, came to M. A. C. last week for short visits.

The doorway of the dairy build­ing where milk is received has been lowered, making the delivery of milk much more easy.

J . H . Hedges, ' 03 ; C. M. Blanch-ard, ' 0 3 ; F . C. Rork , '03, and W . F . Carleton, '04 have been initiated into the Tau Beta Pi fraternity.

The Themian society gave a party Friday evening in the society rooms which proved to be a very enjoyable affair. The rooms were tastefully decorated in Japanese style.

Because of the lack of proper housing facilities it has not been possible to stock up the swine de­partment of the College and con­duct experiments. The re-arrange­ment in the piggery will do away with the present dark and unsani­tary conditions, and afford better facilities for student instruction and experiments.

The following telegram was re­cently sent by Civil Governor Taft to Captain Bandholtz, who now holds the position of Governor of the Province of Tayabas: "Civil Governor (Taf t ) desires to express his congratulations for the excellent work you have done in the ridding of your province of its unlawful element. Your past successes be­speak a satisfactory outcome of your present efforts. (Signed) Fergus-son, Executive Secretary." Capt. Bandholtz is well known here hav­ing at one time been Commandant.

Mr. and Mrs. E . J . McNaughton visited their daughter, Miss Kather-ine, over Sunday.

The debating club had no debate Thursday evening, matters of busi­ness occupying all the time.

The prospects for a first class girls' basket ball team at M. A. C. are good. Some games with girls' teams in other colleges will doubt­less be arranged.

A meeting of the B. A. C. was held in the parlors of the Club Mon­day evening. While oysters were being served flash lights were taken. All the members report a very pleasant evening.

Mrs. L. R. Taft and daughters entertained the members of the Themian Society in a charming manner at the Taft residence on Faculty Row Thursday evening. A course dinner was served at six o'clock, after which games and various amusements were indulged in during the remainder of the even­ing.

Messrs. Harry Dey, A . C. Miller, J . A. Priest, E . D. Allis, E . S. Good are preparing for the students' stock judging content at the Chicago International Live Stock Show. These men have looked forward to this event with a good deal of ex­pectation throughout the course and have taken up the matter with a good deal of enthusiasm. Excellent work is being done by them in judging cattle and sheep but the lack of equipment in swine and horses is felt to be a serious draw­back.

Instructor Kocher received a visit last week from his mother.

Mrs. A . E . Palmer of Kalkaska visited Miss Jessie, Friday.

Thirteen hundred and eighty-six letters were recently sent out from the postoffice during one day.

Mrs. Davidson of Grand Blanc spent a few days with her daughters, Miss Gertrude and Miss Katherine.

T h e Hesperian Society gave a formal hop to its lady friends in the rooms in Wells Hall Friday even­ing. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gun-son chaperoned.

The week of prayer has been observed by the young women the past seven days and it has been found of so much help and inspiration in Christian work that the morning service will be continued- the re­mainder of the term.

The following was held over from last week: The program of the last meeting of the Botanical Club consisted of very interesting talks by Misses Alexander, Tingley, Gunn, Douglas, Hutchins and Redner, on the disbursal of seeds by various plants. Mr . Gunson then showed and described one of the curious plants of the Orchid family, an epi-plyte that is a plant which grows on another plant but is not nourish­ed by it. Mr. Beal showed as an illustration of the power of plant growth a sugar beet which had raised a large stone. At the next meeting ( Tuesday evening ) Mr-Moses Craig will give an article "Herbarium Making." All inter­ested in Botany should be present.
