The impression prevails that the initiation
fees are to be reduced by the adoption Of an
amendment to the constitution Of the national
grange. The proposed amendment provides
that 1each grange shall fix the fee for MEM
berShip in its own Jurisdiction" IL the pro-
posed amendment should be ratified by three.
fourths of the state oranges no change could
be made in regard to the fees until the state
grange meets. Any action taken by state
grange prior to the adoption of tho proposed
amendments is illegal. The fate of the
amendment is doubtful. Vermont voted to
ratify the amendment, New Hampshire to
reject it. If ratified by three.lourths Of the
state oranges, no action could be taken upon
it in Vermont until the state grange meets
next December, and who can tell whether 1t
will reduce the fees or not. Some members
Of the New Hampshire state grange adVo.
Gated, when that question was under discus
sion at its last session, that tho Initiation fee
ought to be increased to ten or fifteen dol
lars. Who can say the Vermont state grange
may not increase the initiation fee 7 Its treas
ury is empty. We need lecturers to visit
the different oranges, hold public meetings,
encourage the oranges and instruct them. A
monthly bulletin should DO sent to each
grange in the state from the state officers /;
the master, lecturer, secretary, treasurer,
agent, and executive committee should each
have a department. in it, Much work needs
immediate attention, but where is the money
to pay the necessary expense ? An increased
membership fee would give some of the much
needed funds. We do not advocate such
action, but caution members aud outsiders
not to expect reduction Of initiation fees
aud dues until there is a prospect that the
present fees and dues will pay the necessary
expenses.

Many of the oranges in the West are
building 6ue large halls of their own, and are
using the first story for store room, and the
second for grange hall. They furnish the
hall with all the implements and working
tools Of the order. Iu one county in Michi-
gan ten such halls have been built during
the past year. Such plan will add much
to the success Of the oranges, and is very
commendable. The oranges are with us to
stay, and the sooner they prepare permanent
halls and their fixtures and store rooms, the
better it will be for the grangsrs and the
citizens generally.

The state grange of Ohio met Feb. 10,
and held very pleasant and successful ses-
sion. The state masters address was very
able aud showed the graBges Of Ohio TO be
in good working order. The state secretary's
report showed that the order had increased
in Ohio in numerical, moral and financial
strength. Ninety.eight new oranges had
been organized and only one grange had sur
rendered its charter, and that had been killed
by an overdose of professionals and mer-
chants taken internally. The total number
Of oranges in Ohio is 1916. The state sec.
rotary strongly objected to any reduction Of
fees aud dues, as the present revenue Of the
state grange was not enougi for its actual
needs. The business agent reported the sales
Of the agency to be over 81 100000. The
system of selling stock was working very sat
isfactorily. During thirteen months the Pat
rons had saved S240,725. A communion
ton from the Sovereigns was received. A
committee TO make arrangements to COPPER
ate with them was appointed and resolutions
favoring cooperation adopted. All the
amendments to the constitution were adopted
except the 9th, llth aud 18th. The 9th
refers to state oranges regulating the initia-
ton fees and the 18th to state oranges regu-
lating their monthly dues. A goodly num-
Der Of states have refused to -atify those
amendments, and they will probably be re.
jecled. The session was very harmonious.
