The next session of the National
Grange will be held next November, in
Cincinnati, Clio.
Two 0f e amendments of the C0n5tt;-
tuition, submitted by the National to ths
State Oranges for their ratification or re-
Jection, have been ratified by enough OF
the State Oranges to make the law. The
first amends Article ], Section O. so as to
make any Fourth Degree member eligi-
BILE TO Office, in either Pomona, State or
National Oranges, or to receive ali the
degrees, but does not allow him TO vote
in the higher degrees. If this isn't sufIi-
clently Democratic TO satisfy the hum
blcst sdns culoue Patron we cannot see
why. Who now will be the lucky Fourth
Degree member who will be the first to
be elevated to the position of master Of
the National Grangc?"
The second amendment reduces the
Executive Com-,ittee to three members,
whose term Of Office shall be two year,,
| and makes the Master Of the National
Grange an ee o6Ecio member Of the Ex-
| ecutive Committee, but not entitled to
vote except in case Of tie. The old
Committee of five will, of course, hold
over till chs next Session of the National
Grange, as no legislation was had desg-
mating what two Of the five should vacate
before that time. The Executive CON-
mittec, however, hGve voted that, as il
was practical to carry into effect p0r-
| ton Of this am. udment, the Master
should at once take lis seat ut their
meetings ~ q member Of the Executive
Committee, which ic accordingly did.
The Executive Committee of the Na.
tional Grange will, during the month of

Declaration of Purpo ", Constitution
and By Laws, Rules ror Cooperative
Stores, Parliamentary Guide, Rulings of
the Master, Decisions of the National
Grange, Decision of the Courts Of Ap.
peals," together with much other matter
that will make it TIE most complete and
the only official handbook that has ever
been issued by the National Grange.
