from The report of the Secretary o
H. Kelley, made TO the Nauopa

Tn presenting this annual report ]
have the pleasure of showing figures
that cannot iail Of giving yon salts
faction. The increase ofneV Oranges
during the year 1872 amounts 10 one
THOUSAND and fifty, to which dispense
tions have been issued, The amount
of money received by me from the
same and other sources, as shown in
the Treassrer's report, is 81, ,3665I.
Among the items OF expenditures is
that Of printing, TO the amount OF
1920 OF. Under this head you will
1see there was issued from my Office
about I,f65,00o sheets Of printed
matter, a great portion Of which has
been graluitously distributed, not a
single sheet has been ranked since
the Order was started, and there is
not State or territory in which. our
Order is not known by some individu
ais.
OF the matter printed are constitu-
tions, annnals, soDg books, blanks A
and ID, upwards OF 100000 of the
Bryan Fund publications, and hume
rous other documents, itemized bills
OF which hsye been submitted to the
Finance Committee
During the past year there have
been organized eight State Oranges.
in the following States: Illinois (reor-
ganized), Indiana, Wisconsin (reor;
gauiEed), yerpost, South Carolina,
Nebraska, Mississippi, and Kansas
while Michigan and Missouri are
ready 10 be admitted ,as well as Ohio,
Tennessee and Arkansas Oregon
will not be far behind. In regard to
the standing efthe States as 20 work
ing and paying Oranges, Iowa takes
the lead having 744 recorded.
South Carolina stapds next, havin ?
organized It's State Grange with 81
SUBJ Oranges, and has now on record
IO2 Oranges, and with Mississippi,
with Gl Oranges, is the only State
where every Grange reports and
pays dues promptly, ~
Minnesota, though the Oldest State
in our On der, follows in the list. Some
Of her Oranges are dormant from
good cause, but through the exertioDs
of the present efficient Master of that
Stete Grange they are reviving. We
now have sub Oranges organized in
22 States. and three have been estab-
lished in Canada. The total number
of Oranges is 1898.
The general condition of the Order
is more fourishing than we had rea :
son to anticipate at the commence ,
ment of the year, and its prospects
for the future are certainly encourag-
ing. q
