GRANGE PRINCIPLES.
Dignity of Labor, Fair Dealing and
Good Cfsisenship.

Dignity of Labor, Fair Dealing ana
Good Cfsi.enship.
We have nowhere seen better pres
entation Of the principles and purposes
of the grange than the following in the
American Agriculturist by Mr.. ]. A
Herr:
The character Of the grange member
ship and their faith In the Order are such
as give permanence to the organisation
The effect of united grange effort is seen
and felt in the legislature and other bene.
fits secured In the interest Of the farmer
along all lines of work. The dairymaR
the fruit grower, the stock breeder and the
poultryman have all been benefited
through the efforts Of the grange. A
greater degree OF intelligence IL manifest
among the farmers a. a result Of grange
meetings and their outgrowth. the farm
ers' institutes Of today. Extortion among
dealers has been checked. and cash
basis for doing business Is encouraged
with beneficial results.
The grange organization stands entirely
for good. The principles are dignity OF Ia
Dor. honest dealing. justice to all. courage.
temperance thoroughness, peaceful citt-
zenship, charity and unspotted character.
Can there be nobler principles than these?
The grange encourages advanced educa-
tion and seeks to elevate not only Its
membership but the community in which
II exists to Q higher plane of culture re-
finement and social standing Social scan
dals are seldom found within its ranks.
It's teachings are Of the purest and high
est character, like that of family refine
ment and intellectually. II the grange
comes short Of this. then the principles
and precepts OF the Order are not faith
fully observed.
The benefits OF q good. active working
grange are evidenced by an increased In
terest in the farm and home, = greater de-
gree Of social culture and enjoyment. an
advance along the lines of higher educa-
ton and an Independence and thrift
which should be the inheritance Of every
farmer. These facts appeal to all persons
interested in agriculture. In all its varied
departments. to unite with the grange and
assist In advancing its objects az we'll az
to share its benefits.
