away. And aswe advance the educational
work of the Order upon cooperative
principles, will we do away with the err
ror that has misled SO many.
The prediction that our organization
would soon fail and become extinct, was
based upon the fact that we once did have
many members who acted in opposition to
their own interest and their own organiza
ton. And when those of prominent
standing in the Order devoted time and
energy TO verifyjthe predictions it was not
strange it should be believed. But we
have passed the danger in safety, and
are now beyond the reach of destruction
by all opposing elements combined.
The great craft of the Grange is safely
and firmly anchored to remain steadfast
for all time to come ~.r- ~ l.; r-
Make your Grange meetings what they
were intended to be and what they should
be, in educating the members for good
and useful purposes, and cooperate to-
gether in all things for the advantage and
mutual benefit of each other, and your
success is secured, and you will not be
long in waiting for desirable results. r--

SCHOOL BOOKS.

The farmers of Texas, when they have
occasion to purchase school books, should
buy them from their local cooperative
stores, and the stores should lay in their
supplies through the General Manager of
the State Cooperative Ass@iation at
Galveston, ]. S. Rogers. BF doing this,
they will save money and get the best
school books in the world. The action of
the Texas State Grange on this important
question will save the farmers of that
State tens of thousands of dollars annually.

FROM ALABAMA.

The stirring circular letter to the Pa
hons of Alabama from the newly elected
Master Of the State Grange, Brother Ben.
l Harrison, and the manly letter of
Worthy Secretary l.. L. McCurdy, which
publish elsewhere, will be read with
easure by members throughout the
eouth, for they indicate that the men now
the head of the Order in Alabama are
horoughly enlisted in the canse and that
will be revived and placed on a sub
mtial foundation.
We like the spirit of Worthy Mas
t. Harrison's address. We think he.will
rove an efficient and successful officer,
f1r he IS in full accord with the principles
Rnd purposes of the Grange and is thor
tughly alive to the demands of his posi-
ton In his patriotic efforts to restore the
Order to its former strength, he should
laye the prompt and active sympathy of
very Subordinate Grange in the State,
lnd every Patron who has the intelligence
to understand the necessity and power of
Ioganization and the spirit to stand up for
is rights and interests should rally to his
support with earnest zeal.
The letter of Worthy Secretary McCur-
ty is very interesting and suggestive. 1t
gives full and intelligent account Of the
causes thatso nearly destroyed the Grange
in Alabama, and this clear and timely
statement of facts will be positive bene-
ft to the cause, for it will enable the mass

IGNORANCE COSTS

There are a great many farmers who
will not take a Grange or agricultural
paper because of the expense, and it is Just
such men that the sharpers from the cities
are constantly swindling. The following
instances show that it is the worst kind of
economy to deny ones self paper that
warns him to beware ofsharpers and never
to sign papers of any kind:
New Philadelphia, Ohio, February IS.
Henry Seaman, a farmer living about
eight miles north Of this place, has been
badly swindled by some parties who came
to his premises a few weeks ago repre-
senting an agency for hay forks and car
riers They wanted him to take the agen-
cy and sell. He refused to do so. Then
they insisted on his giving them a recon-
mendation as to the good working quail
ties of the fork, which he did, as he had
one in use in his NOW. He is now notified
that there is note with his signature to it
for S., 900 at bank in Carrollton, Ohio.
Instead of signing recommendation for
the fork he had signed a S. 900 note which
he will have to pay. Other farmers in this
section have been swindled in the same
|
of smaller amounts. l.er sf
The following is related by a. Kansas
paper: m .s-.e-r.s.5s s..s. 90.
We desire to call the attention of our
farmers to the fact that there is danger in
signing contracts or papers of any kind
presented by strangers travelling through
the country. In nine cases out of ten they
are swindlers, and the contract is prom
issory note The latest device of this
kind that has come to our notice is opera
ted by an alleged census taker, who, armed
with imposing looking books and blanks,
canvasses the rural districts, asking the
age of spinsters, crops grown, stock kept,
etc, in census-taker style, and finally re-
| quests the signature of the farmers at the
| bottom OF one of the blanks as means
of verifcation. The signature obtained,
the census taker writes promissory note
over it and sells the note to bankers or
other buyers of notes. The cream of the
Joke is not known to the signer until the
census taker has got himself out freach,
and there is nothing to do but pay the
| note and make some good resolutions
emphasized in as strong words and phra'
ses as the religious convictions of the
defrauded owner of stock and raiser o.
stock will allow.

Patrons, keep up the educational work
of the Order; do your own reading, your
own thinking, your own investigating, SO
that you may become more and more ia
niliar with every important subject and
enterprise; and see to it that you are not
misled and swindled in the future as you
have been in the past. ia..3 sti5fess

In farming, thinking is as necessary as
working. The highest results are obtained
bv those who farm intelligently. Brain: not
less than Drawn, is required, and there IS
no calling which requires more careful
thought, combined with practlcal, SKILL
than the various branches OF rural pur-
suits.

THE REAGAN BILL.

The rail road companies are making a
powerful effort to defeat the passage OF
Reapan's Interstate commerce bill now

neighborhood throughout the country

bill. EH-iI Il)I

Mixed husbandry is what we need. The
farmer who grows something of every
thing adapted to his locality will be safer,
and in the long run will save more than
he whe devotes his energies and land
mainly to one or two crops.
