-ufder, that heretofore
vr not been accessible. There is
nov in the National Grange Treasury
100000 invested in United States
bonds, and about $40, 900 in funds
The Grange has also within the year
spent about Sl2,OOO in relief OF suf-
ferers from ERE, drouth, floods, and
grasshoppers.
One hundred and Fifty headers
have been built at the Grange Fac
tory in Nebraska, and sold for $50
each, when dealers were charging
e325-saving in this item over t25,.
600. Over three hundred Werner
harvesters were manufactured in
Iowa. Minnesota and Nebraska, and
sold for $l40 each, saving in this item
over $4,000. And generally the
harvester has given rs good satisfac-
ton as the Marsh. Fifteen hundred
cultivators have been made and sold
from eighteen to twenty dollars each,
instead Of paving others from thirty
to thirty-fve dollars.
Extensive preparations are making
for the next season for implements,
groceries and goods. A sulky rake
for US will be made at Des Moines
IA seeder for $40, and a Bessemer
steel beam pillow is now being made
1T the Given Works at Des Moincs,
which will be sold for eighteen dol
lars, to the Order first. A mower is
now being made in New York under
the control Of the Order. All the
posts usually made Of iron in thes.
machines will be made of the best
Bassemer steel. 1t will be supplied
with self-oiling boxes, and is to be
first class in all its parts and sold At
our agency for SIS.
The Order arc also making arrange
ments with the Patrons in Louisiana,
to forward direct to Patrons here the
finest sugars and syrups at about one
half now paid for poisonous chemical
molasses. The agency at New Or.
leans is now ready to exchange sugar
and syrup for flour, corn, bacon, or
other Western products.
1t is also stated in the Helper, from
which we obtain all these items, tina,
more than half the elevators in Iowa
are in the hands Of Patrons and ele-
vator companies, who are saving
largely to the farmers and making
living profits themselves.
The Executive Committee of The
State Grange was in session at Des
Moines, commencing on the I'd. o.
October, at which il is said they
transacted large amount of business.
II is now stated, also that the 1900
appropriated by the National Grange
for the grasshopper region went into
the State Grange Treasury. w
will be the next statement of the dis
position of this fund: Ii, however,
the Order in the State would mike
as clear and candid statements of The
operations of the Patrons as is found
in the Helper of the 8 h inst there
would be less dark suspicion, and
more harmony aud good fellowship.
1t is too late in the nineteenth CEN
fury to rule the masses by hiding
from them the acts and doinys of
their servants. The peopl' wan light
and will have il, or hey will not
work in the traces. There are al
ready serious alterations, which can
neve, be healed, caused by few men
trying to do everything in the dark.
We trust better day is ,iawning for
the Order, and that in time officers
will be at the head who will respect
the rights and wishes of the people.
Unlike ourselves, many are unwilling
to wait and watch for brighter and
purer end in the history of this
Grange movement. 1t will come, and
patient faith will yet witness it-G
