The National Grange.


Tho national grange meets this week,
November 18th, at Louisville, Ky. If all
the members are present, thirty.eight state
oranges will be represented by two delegates
from each state. Officers Of the national
grange and members of the national execu-
tive committee are MEMBERS increasing tho
number to ninety. Officers of the national
grange are to be elected, who will hold their
Office for three years. A large number of
amendments to the constitution of the national
grange were proposed last February, but
laid over until the November meeting as the
state oranges would not meet until Deem
Der to ratify them. Great diversity of
opinion exists in regard to amendments
needed one extreme class wants to throw
away the manual and all unwritten work Of
the Order and make it an open farmers
club; another defends all the ceremonals
we now have aud wishes more added some
desire all the degrees abolished; others
would abolish all above the fourth degree (;
another, aud more consistent class would
have all members eligible to the higher de-
grees, receiving them after serving certain
length Of time as members Of the grange.
Parties outside Of the grange have tried to
stir up strife, but to no purpose. The ma
tional grange is composed of as able body o.
men and women.as ever met to consult to-
gether in the nation. Numerous changes
will be proposed to the constitution Of the
national grange, but they should make hast'
slowly to tear down foundations that have
proved successful in building up an Orde
already numbering two millions of members
We have full faith in their honesty and
their sagacity to discern the signs of tn
times, and to propose such amendments Al
will suit the rank and file of the Order.

Pocket Money.

Mn EDIToR 81 noticed, last week among
the different topics suggested for discussion
in the grange, one which l think will be
especially interesting to the sisters Of our
Order viz "How shall the wives and
daughters of the grange obtain their own
pocket monoy9' ..o
None who are acquainted with what
eagerness the heeling and toeing Of Shaker
stockings, the knitting Of mittens for city
Arms, aud, indeed, anything that pays never
50 small pittance, is sought after by large
class Of women-women who are by no means
driven to this extremity by poverty, but
who are for the most part wives aud daugh-
ters 10 snug New England homes, can fail
to see that IT is necessary for their content
ment at least, that they should have some
easy aud profitable work whereby they may
be enabled to put their hands in their pockets

Grange Convention.

Despite the storm and bad roads which
detained many at home tho mass grange
convention which was held in Village Hall,
Montpelier, Thursday Of last week, was a
success. The forenoon was spent in an ex.
animation of the samples of goods and price
lists Of the state agent, after which an ad-
jourument was made for dinner. Large pur-
chases were made, and many orders given for
goods, to be shipped to sister oranges. In the
afternoon the meeting was called to order by
Deputy ID. f. Boyden, who briefly stated
the obj cts of the convention, after which the
assembly elected the following list of officers
for the year ensuing:
Master, ID. T.. Boyden, of Waitsfeld
Secretary j. X. Toby, of Calais; Oyerseer,
Bro Currier; Lecturer, J.. N. Ellisi Steward,
j. Il. HOLSTER. of North Montpelier; Assis-

j. H. Crosby, state agent, addressed the
convention at considerable length upon the
work Of the agency and reported a very
favorable state Of affairs, the agency pros
porous, the people apparently well pleased
with the discounts given the agency, and all
the financial affairs Of the agency ia salts
factory condition to all parties. The report
showed many thousand dollars saved to the
farmers Of Vermont, and all the Patrons at
tending the convention we're pleased anC
surprised at the large discounts given the
oranges by dealers and manufacturers.
Several topics Of Importance to the Ordel
were discussed at length. A vote was takeI
requesting each grange in Washington

to act with them, to send two delegates t

upon that subject and the oranges of tn

VERMONT FARMER. AGRICULTURAL NEWSPAPER

Col Clough closed by relating an anecdote of

assigned them their positions in tho eternal

were well calculated to excite thought, and
produced favorable feeling towards the

No National Organ.

Bro D. II. Kelley, secretary Of the
national grange, writes 1.-The national
grange has no organ, and no paper whatever
is authorized to represent it. No paper is
issued from national headquarters. All
the reports to that effect by correspondents
of certain papers, to throw discredit upon the
officers Of the national grange, fall fiat to
the ground as falsehoods. .r. ST..
The senseless howl set up about national
organ is to destroy confidence in those hold.
ing responsible positions and to reflect upon
the whole grange movement. 10 like man.
ner, from the first origin of the movement,
its opposers have howled about a great fund
in the national grange treasury aud that it
was liable to be stolen by high officers, or
Incorporated, when no such fund existed,
or could have accumulated from the funds
sent to the national grange treasury. ...
The most senseoss and ridiculous "hue
aud cry" has been about deputies making
money organizing oranges. Vermont, at
ono time, had seventeen deputies many Of
them men OF acknowledged ability aud up
rightuess they had the fullest faith in the
success Of the Order and worked with zeal
aud earnestness organizing oranges. But
the business would not pay board aud trav-
cling expenses and all but two or three were
Obliged to leave the work in few weeks,
and some Of those who continued III the work
did so at considerable expense to themselves
as their hearts were in the work. They
knew the benefits of the Order and deter
mined it should become a success, despite all
opposition. And when person without q
siugle argument against the grange move
ment made a personal attack against a
deputy "a man with any argument at hand
against any cause never becomes personal !;
it is the first and last resort of person with
out principlo), and said, you are making
pile Of money out of the grange, he thinks
Of his empty pocket-book and soon returns
home, leaving the work to others who can
better withstand personal attacks or resolves
to make the grange a success, cost him what.
ever it may. Thus far the attacks have
consisted Of innuendoes against the members
and officers Of the Order, and bitter taunts
without single wrong action proved against
an officer or member of the twenty-five thou.
sand oranges in the nation. We can but
feel proud Of the grange movement, nearly
two million Of members The grange is a
great school to educate the farmer and i'm.
prove himself and family, socially, mentally
and morally; saving millions of dollars to
the farmers annually, and costing less an
nually than any other Order in the land
which processes to accomplish any great
work for mankind.

VIM G. Hates, lecturer of New Jersey
State Grange, writes us: "a great revolu-
ton 10 store-keeping has taken place since
the introduction OF oranges in the state.
Merchants are selling $500 stoves for
$3.50; $500 ones for $1,000; mems
heavy boots for s343, such as we have been
paying 1925 for. aud many other articles at
similar discounts, Their base of operations
beng cash on delivery Of the goods. Those
selling thus have drawn nearly all the trade
from the credit stores and will ultimately
bring all dealers down to legitimate profits"
Can outsiders see the hand Of the grange
behind the curtain? A very serious ques-
ton presents itself to us. DO Patrons act
wisely if they neglect their own agencies to
purchase of those who sell thus cheaply be-
cause the Patrons or Sovereign's agency
compels them to do so Neglect the grange
hall or council.room because few articles
are sold to us thus cheaplyi neg ect our
grange agencies and let the excellent terms
we have to-day be withdrawn for want OF
patronage aud "the grange will die out, just
as our enemies prophesy of US, and monop-
oily will again rule supreme aud control
all we have to sell or to purchase, But we
ueed not be discouraged. The eyes of the
producers are open, and many seem to APP
preciate the situation aud take hold of the
work with alacrity. Time and the cducat.
ing influence Of the grange will correct such
evils and crown our efforts with success
The grange die out ?" never while the
farmers possess any Independence or virtue
or need a society or fraternity for business
purposes, or social or educating influences.

grange last fall, Brother Jameson read a
