ports Of the various oranges throughout
the county. Quotations and fye-minute
speeches We're next in order, after
which the committee on programme for
the next meeting was appointed. Then
a recess was taken for dinner.
After the opening song by the choir
in the afternoon, Sister Lula Crabtree,
of Pomona Grange, gave a very inter
esting reading. after which came the
comforting of the fifth degree. The
following question was then discussed
in 4 lively manner:
Resolved, That the sisters devote
more time TO household affairs than To

Resolved, That there is more profit
in special farming than in mixed hus-
bandry.
Sister Crabtree then gave another af
her pleasant Rotations. which was
highly appreciated by all A report
was called for from the committee on

then offered by W. Lecturer Hattie
Hartman of Floral Grange.
