atoms reqnires that The number and
names of each ASSOCIATION be regis
tered In he office OF the Secretary
OF the State Grange and in the office
OF the Secretary of the National
Grange. We would, therefore, re.
com mend that each association in
this State forward to the Secretary
Of the State Grange at once it's name
and number and the Secretary be
required to report such list at each
meeting of this State Grange in
order that each association NAV
know the name and address of the
other associations and thereby en-
courage correspondence between
the associations. AS much can be
done by co operative effort among
the various associations in the State
as among the individuals composing
the association. According to the
best information we can gather there
are 20 cooperative associations in
this State. Cooperation, however,
is not confined to business principles
alone, it is more comprehensive and
expansive in its nature. By co OPP
GRAFTON We hope to advance the
moral, social, and intellectual con-
dition of our mem bership. We
would recommend that each co-op-
erative association in the State an
nually report to this State Grange
its condition and prospects.
