served in that capacity for twenty
three years and was present at every
session Of the state grange during that
period. On relinquishing the Office of
treasurer he was chosen master Of the
state grange and is serving his fifth
biennial term In that position. In 1900
he became a member Of the national

Its secretary. He is likewise secretary
