Good work iii Grange meetings is that
which will add to the comforts, pleasures
and happiness of farm life. 1t permits
wide range Of effort for it is not confined
to the practical operations of the farm,
nor yet to the methods and practices that
regulate employment of time. Every
thing that adds to the betterment of
farmers and their families may become
subject for thought and action in a
Grange meeting, as well rs of desire for
the attainment of which power of the
organized body may be invoked. Good
schools, good associations, good morals,
good profits for labor, all come within
the list Of purposes and, for all, compact
organization ia "A primary step toward
attainment. The superficial thinker may
suppose that there is little power in the
Grange to promote the purposes enum-
Grated, but he is wrong. The power of
fifty persons directed to common OBJ
iect is far more effective than of one. Let
that number of persons in any rural
neighborhood, associate for any good
purpose and their influence will soon
appear as a force to bring attainment.
In every work the Grange may have "A
purpose, and its meetings become a
means of achievement. If it were not so
meetings would hardly he worth their
cost. The blending of forces that comes
through systematic social desire is a
natural effect of Grange meetings con-
Quoted with the object of improvement,
and ia, also, step preparatory to useful
work in every department of society.

height of absurdity.
stump speeches and torch lights make
