Pine Grove grange, ut Albino, IL the
second oldest In the county and has a

used to build hall. The grange Is
keeping clear of politics and devoting
Its energies to bettering the social and
financial condition Of the farmers. Its
work is largely social and educa tionai.
The first grange was organized In this
county about three years ago.

One advantage Of the grange Is to de-

its literary and educational work. finds

assigned topic in any public meeting
with any degree Of interest to his hear

could write paper ON any subject that

farmer said, II would rather hitch up
and drive mile to carry information
than write one postal card" Bnt in
the grange he finds opportunity to for
mulate his ideas into words. and often
there is found to be rare worth in what
he has to say. The grange educates In

German Emigration

United States Consul General
Mason at Berlin has made very
interesting report on emigration
from Germany during the period
from 1871 to 1892. The total
number Of Germans leaving their
native country in 1871 was rs, 224.
The next year it rose to 128, l52
and after ward declined until, in
1877, it was only 22,988. There
followed q rapid increase, until in
1881 the figure was 22O, 902. Dur
ing the next 10 years it fiuctuated
considerably and stood at 1889
in 1892. The movement then fell
off, the emigration falling as low
as %, 22l in 1898 and reaching 3d.
O98 in 1902. The total for the 80
years was 2 ,552, 537.
The most interesting figures,
however, are those which show
what proportion Of these emigrants
set their face toward the United
States. In the high water year OF
1881, when 22O, 9Oo left their old
bones to seek their fortunes in
new lands, 2O6, 1S9 turned toward
the western republic, while, out Of
the 116, 500 who emigrated in 1897
the number coming to this country
was III, 500. OF the 80, O9S wht
left Germany in the year 1902
