Worthy Master and Officers of National Grange
Though California is a long way from the so
called commercial and financial centers of the
United States, the members of the Order of the
Patrons of Husbandry here have tried to keep
step to the music of the Order. CalifOrnia's Pa
irons are determined not to be out of line nor to
lose position in the great forward march the
Order is making and proposes to make in the
United States. The lines of battle are formed
and our desire is to be ID the front ranks. Oul
regiments may not be so wen recruited or our
fors 50 well drilled, equipped and uniformed
as some of those from older-Settled and more
populous states but we are brave as the BRAY
est and sre enlisted for the war. We hope our
roster viii show at the close of the term of serv
ice no traitors and no deserters.
During the year there have been six Oranges
organized and five Oranges re-orRanized. There
are four Pomona Oranges in the State. These
Pomona Oranges, while they have done much
for the good OF the Order in a social way, have,
so far done but little in the line of recognizing
dormant Oranges In their respective jurisdic
tons. 1t does seem that very much might be
done by Pomona Oranges in the way of resuscit-
ating dead Oranges within their respective ter
ritory.

information, the Grange press should be well
edited and libe rally patronized. We boast of a
splendid organ, the Pacific Rural Press, pub
lfshed by Brother A. T. Dewey. 1t is well sup
ported by the members of the Order in this juris
diction.
The finances of the California State Grange
are in q more satisfactory condition than foI
some years past. We have snug little sum IL
our lecture fund, which must be expended fol
lecture and Grange work, and for no other pur
pose. With that money we expect to have
some valuable work done during the coming
It is the purpose to have every Grange in goot
standing in this jurisdiction officially visited
during the coming spring and summer The
State shall be canvassed, so far as possible, anC
new Oranges organized and old ones revived.
The Order OF Patrons of Husbandry on thu
Pacific coast has never had any aid from thu
National Grange, and now that the officers anC
members Of that body are here, we appeal L
you for aid. While we are not in distress W.
need help. Give us the benefit of some of you
silver-tongued, brlght-minded long-experlenee'
orators and statesmen. Loan US for season
some of the pillars of the Order. We will US
them for the good OF the Order, and return
them in due time, untarnished and whole
Californiss Patrons are awake and Jealous, ant
viii never say fail. We are growing, and intent
to grow stronger, stronger, stronger.
