At the Maine State Grange at Skowhe-
gan.


Ihe sixteen ladies, representing the
sixteen counties, file in. led By Pomona,
and arrange themselves appropriately
All IN concert repeat:
over all our broad Dlrigv land.
Our Order clasps fraternal hand.
From kittery Point 10 Quoddy Head,
From forest dark Ia oceans bed;
The light far spreads, and welcome calls
From twice a hundred fair Grange halls
Beneath the banner OF the Grange.
Behold the length our ranks arrange;
The tar that rose DER Washington
Has guided u. still bravely on:
Although a score OF years have flown.
Yet over sll it, light has -hone.
soon in its onward sweep and dow.
Wrong and monopoly must go;
Soon usher In that brighter day
Cooperation and fair play.
Then each in turn rcpea.s her part
intraScnggiH
Like my own winding rapid river.
Patrons dear, 20 on forever:
Fourteen Grange- bless my county.
With their privilege aud bounty.

Bear the treasure, of my forest ever on.
From nv virgin wealth OF soil.
To the orders widespread range.
