ORGANIZING A GRANGE.
Look Wen to the Charter Member
ship Roll.


Hon. Aaron Jones, master of the ma
nonal grange, speaks wisely when he
says:
Care should be used in getting good
charter members. They are the founda-
hon on which the future usefulness of
the grange will rest. with good charter
members the grange will grow In num-
bers. In usefulness and influence and be of
great benefit to the order at large and of
great advantage to its own members. I'm
less you can organize n grange of the best
men and women In the location where the
grange Is to be organized do not organize
grange at all.
Every grange deputy should commit
to memory the last sentence above
quoted. This rule carefully observed
would save trouble later on. Lay well
your foundations in establishing
grange. Your best citizens are none
too good. Organize well or not at all.
Objectionable men and women can be
kept out after the organization is form
ell but it is often difficult matter to
prevent their joining as charter mem
hers. Use tact at this point. The dep
uty's responsibility just here is great,
but he should meet it unflinchingly.

Possibilities of the Grange.

Mrs. Sarah G.. Baird worthy master
OF the Minnesota state grange, says:
The possibilities of grange work when
conducted in conservative channels
are limitless for the development Of the
rural sections of our state, but impa-
tent, i'll advised action will wreck 1t.
With great earnestness we ask you to
appreciate the value Of this organiza-
ton as a permanent educational force
In our state and to consider with care
the risk that would be taken in any
action promoting any personal scheme
OK to crafty any vindictive disposition,
Cor so long as there is need of raising
men and women to higher moral
plane, so long as there is need of nobler
and purer social life so long as there Is
need of better economic and political
conditions, so long will there be need
of the grange.

Gloucester was reelected master for

of fertilizing material for all the
oranges of the state, with formula
for the different crops and instructions
for mixing the same; asking the legis-
lature to make it a misdemeanor to kill
calves for food under fourteen days

Secretary of National Good Roads
Association in Favor of House
Dill 1850.

In recent communication to Com
gresham Brownlow, Mr.. II. w. Rich
ardson, secretary of the National Good
Roads association, supports the
BrownIow bill in the following Ian
guage:
81 have carefully read a copy of
your bill, being II. r. 15360, creating a
bureau of public roads in the depart.
ment of agriculture, and providing for
system of national, state and local
cooperation in highway Improvement.
] desire to commend you for your in
itiative in this most important and
necessary public improvement. 1t
seems passing strange that the peo.
pie of the United States who are so
progressive in every other avenue OF
commercial and industrial develop-
ment should so continuously neglect
to give even reasonable consideration
to the public roads. 1t is safe to es-
innate that more than 90 per cent. of
the area of the states of the union is
without improved roads, enduring al
most impossible mud in winter and in
sutferable dust in summer. old and an
tiquated wasteful methods still in
vogue in attempted road making and
repairs, hundreds of thousands of doll
lars wasted each year in these meth
ods to be repeated again next year, and
all this without any change from the
road conditions our fathers left us
except, in the majority of cases, for
the worst
National, state and local coopera-
tion is the modern and sure method of
equalizing the burden of cost, Civ
ing proper supervision and restriction,
and securing an adequate system of
improved highways. The postal. ed
ucational, military and economic in
terests of the general government
Justify it's active interest in this be-
half.
"You are to be heartily commended
for your effort, If you succeed you
will have reared to your name an ever
lasting monument in the ever-growisg
appreciation of the people. Our asso-
citation stands ready to give you every
aid possible"
