National Master Jones made AN inter-
esting and very pleasing speech. AS
agriculture produces 70 per cent of the
wealth of the country, he argued that
agriculture should have 10 per cent OF
the profit. The grange stands for the
interests Of agriculture. 1t is 81 years
old and has 800, 200 members. In it.
the men, women and their sons and
daughters participate.
Mr.. Jones said that he believed it tc
be the duty of every man to make just
as many dollars as he could honestly
and fairly, and he believed the farmers
had not received their just share Of
the harvest. In 40 years up to 1890 the
farmer had fallen from the holding Of
90 per cent to "a per cent of the entire
wealth of the country. 1t is the pur
pose of the grange to lift the farmer
from his present troubles and place hin
where he should he, and that is not {
. question of partisanship.
The speaker urged cooperation
among the farmers as an importan
item in their improvement Instead o
, devoting himself simply to physica
labor, the farmer of today must USE
+ his brain, and time taken for that i
, we'll spent. He should watch the mar
, ket that he may buy cheaply and h
should watch the market that he ma,
sell to the best advantage. Mr.. Jone
. told of how he and his son used 800
bushels of corn to raise lambs, an,
, realized at the rate of 60 cents bushe
: as against 40 cents, the market price
had they sold the grain direct. The
a made an increase Of $50 on carloa
! and MIR. Jones gave his wife S25 of tn
: money that had not cost him cent.
. Members of the grange are to wor

y In conclusion, Mr. Jones advised L
~ farmers to be reasonable in their
na mands and they would find that Co
