Mr.: E. o. Dewey,
Owosso, Mich.

Dear Sir: The cheapest thing in the
way of sending anything over the world
is postage stamp; and the cheapest
way to shed water is paint.
Not whitewash; paint. Do you hap
pen to know-it don't belong to your
business to know about paint, YOU
know-do you happen to know that
most OF. the makers of paint stuff it out
with lime and clay and sand and water
and air?
They do stuff it out in the can; but
not on the house. They make more
gallons to sell or to buy; more money tc
pay for paint; more money to pay fol
putting it on; good deal more m oney
to pay for putting it on but no IN ore
beauty; more rust; decay; disappoint.
ment; loss.
Devoe is your paint, because it's all
paint, no sham and full-measure.
Yours truly

Lessons of the Degrees.

National Master Jones has this to say
In letter to the editor of this depart
ment relative to some Of his expert
ences before grange audiences: "The
beautiful lessons of the degrees always
elicit attention and applause. The en-
thusiasm reached the highest point o.
a Pennsylvania meeting when the t
feature Of the grange was referred II
Of recognizing and admitting women to
an equal participation in all the work
of the Order. In this regard the grange
stands pre-eminently at the head of all
fraternal societies, and it is due largely
to the counsel and earnest work Of the
sisters that it has attained the high po-
sition which it occupies"

NO TITLE LIKE "MOTHER."
The Good Woman GIories In 1t and
Eits Herself For II.

Fits Herself For 1t.
There is no title more beautiful than
"mother." The good woman glories in
1t and fits herself to be worthy Of the
name in every sense. Willingly she
goes down into the valley of the
shadow of death that she may rise al
most glorifed in her new honor.
Unfortunately there are many erriDg,
selfish mothers, as well as good ones
many who should never have been
mothers. The woman who accepts the
crown of motherhood should discharge
her duties faithfully, even though they
involve sacrifice. Reverence would be
the natural possession of'every child Il
the parents were worthy of the respect
OF their children. Parents may feel
that it does not matter whether their
children respect them or not-that the
achievement is not worth the effort
which it costs thcm-but it matters {.
the children. Their own we'll being de-
mands that they reverence father and
mother.
AS binding ms this duty should be
considered by parents. equally so Is the
one Of providing in early life for their
own old age. Parents should not.
when the evening of life comes, be de-
pendent on their children, thus inter
fering with the responsibilities those
children must naturally have assumed.
A mother has no moral right to inter
fere with the marriage Of her daugh.
ter. 1t should be the duty and privilege
OF mother to teach and ut her daugh.
ter for wifehood and motherhood

POMONA PROGRAMMES.
A Suggestion or Two That May Prove
Helpful.

"A Suggestion or Two That May Prove
Helpful.
1t is not an easy matter to prepare q
good programme for the Pomona or
county grange meeting. Where q one
day session is held many things must
be left unsaid that might very profita-
bly, be included in the programme. The
Pomona is supposed to have the gen.
eral oversight Of the subordinate
oranges within the county, consequent
ly reports of the conditions of these
oranges should not be omitted. These
reports may be along different lines at
different Pomona sessions, as, for in
stance, the needs of the subordinate
oranges, best use of lecture hour, how
to increase membership, cooperation,
etc. These reports summarized will
usually be gladly used in the local
paper, as the work of the grange in
the county will be matter Of public
interest.

fore us we make a combination and
present below what may be termed a
rather 'stiff" order Of exercises for
