The Tragedy.


Churchill's Grove was famous for its
clambakes. and when John and Jessie
drove into it the scene was one to
delight the heart of a loyal New Eng
lander.
The cool. salt breeze from the ocean.
the aroma from fir and pine, and the
odor from simmcring clam and sea
weed formed a trinity ambrostaI
enough TO make an Apic'us of an an

For an hour or more they walked
along the hard, smooth sand, crunch
ing the shells under their feet; the
song of the sea in their cars, and its
cool breath on their cheeks. Then
the great gong sounded the signal for
dinner and they turned TO the grove

The Grange In Politics.

There needs to be word of warning
passed along the line that the grange
must keep its hands off partisan poll
tics and keep politics out of the grange
or its influence is gone. Those who are
not its friends would be only too glad
to see the Order interested in partisan
political feuds and contests. We have
very strong notion that an official of
state or the national grange should
never become a candidate for any i'm
portant office so long as he holds such
official position. We commend the fol-
lowing resolution adopted by the Con-
necticut state grange recently to every
other state organizations:
Resolved. That the state grange of Con-
necticut, loyal to it's past record, will ever
hold itself aloof from all partisan politics
and will strenuously oppose any action
that Will tend to array any one class of
our citizens against any other. The hon.
or, good name and prosperity of the good
old state of Connecticut are Of more inn
portance than any individual or class in
terests. and we hereby pledge our ad-
herence to 1t.
That resolution has the right ring!
1t is worthy of ratification by every
state grange in the Union.

beginning Wolcott grange has had
substantial growth, owing largely to
the activity Of few of its members
and its central location, having four
townships of Wayne county to draw
from. Although it has granted DENTS
to forty-six members and death and
suspensions have claimed many more,
nevertheless it has attained the proud
distinction of being the largest grange
in the United States. 1t does not
change its officers very frequently. 1t
has had only eleven masters and three
secretaries.
Wolcott grange makes special fea-
ture Of its literary work and has an
annual printed programme containing
also a list of the officers and of the en-
tire membership. 1t also gives special
attention to the social features Of the
grange. 1t holds an occasional grange
fair, and once year farmers insti-
tute is held under it's auspices.
