Secretary National Grange.
The above report shows that Michi-
gan is far in the lead in the organiza-
ton of new Oranges.
The following report to us from
Worthy Master Lee Arthur, of Union
Grange No. $50, would indicate that
Shiawassee county has one Grange at
least that is pushing to the front.
Such reports from all parts of the county
would be encouraging and interesting
reading to all good patrons
Since April first they have initiated
sixty-five members, thus securing the
bookcase and secretary offered as a
prize by the State Grange, and have
placed an order for nearly two ton of
binder Irvine, making the aggregate a
handsome saving and strong argu-
ment i'll favor of cooperative buying.
Let us not only remember the annual
excursions to the NJ. A. c., but plan to
go and take the girls and boys.

farmer and the professional politician
One works the farm and the other

EXCELLENT WORK.
Bear River Me- Grange is prosper
ous At nearly every meeting of the
past year the time has been partially oc-
cupied with comforting degrees upon
new members. Two brothers have
gone from among us, leaving memories
of hearty greetings, kindly help and up
right lives. We have added neat lit
tie kitchen to the grange room and also
increased the store of domestic goods.
The up-to-date lecturer, Mrs Martha
Bartlett, gives interesting programs
from meeting to meeting. This month
Childrens Day was observed by an all
day meeting. \ bountiful dinner and
recitations by the children, with graph
ophone entertainment, accompanied by
treat of fruits and candies, made the
children very happy.
WHEN IN GROWN UP.
The following was written for chill
drens night at Belmont, n. H., Grange
by Lizzie a Young, and reeited by her
daughter:
What shall I DO when I'm grown up?
There are so many things to do;
FIRST, shall try my very best,
To be honest, brave and true
| must learn to knit and sew,
To wash and iron and cook
And if study very hard,
Perhaps Ill write book
I'll learn to make q loaf of bread
So nice and white and sweet,
That those should say who looked at it,
That's good enough to eat.
l must learn to make dress,
And fit it well and neatly,i
To sew the seams all nice and straight,
And finish it completely.
shall study too, Of course,
Hygiene and sanitation,
And all the questions of the day,
That agitate the nation.
And if l do the best / can,
To gather up what knowledge
/ may obtain in public school.
Perhaps I'll go to college,
There are many other things
Typewriting short hand, too,
Book keeping, teaching journalism
Therell be work enough to do.
