GRANGE LITERATURE.
The Assistance which the Press Is
Giving the Order Commended.

Giving the Order Commended.
Hon. f. A. DerthiCk. master of the
Ohio state grange, believes in the use
of printers ink. He rightly believes
that the good the Order is doing should
be made known and that its light
should mot be hid under bushel."
He says: The principle of acting to-
gether is a cardinal principle of our
Order, and its necessity was never
more apparent than now Every
other interest and business keeps in
close touch, has it's literature and
studies its own problems. l am often
surprised in visiting oranges to find
an absolute ignWance of the condition
of the Order in Ohio. its achievements
and its present efforts. 1t will be i'm
possible 10 keep in line or be in touch
or be helpful in the absence Of the lit
erature Of the Order"
1t Is quite true that the daily ana
weekly press and agricultural journals
manifest willingness TO use grange
matter. as Mr.. Derthick further sug
gests. and by so doing they benefit the
Order immensely, while they commend
themselves to their farmer readers.
Time was when the grange could not
get a hearing in the newspapers, and
it may be it did not deserve it. But
when the publisher discovered that the
grange was in earnest in its labOrS for
the farmer and was not being work
ed by politicians then he was willing
to "lend hand to further its good
work, and to the credit of the press be

permit themselves to be used by poll

underhand purposes, 1t is ever ready
to help good cause along. And that
| is why the newspapers are opening
their columns now to such depart
ment as the grange or are printing
news of the Order of local nature or
otherwise by the column. Our state
oranges. and the national grange us
well, should appreciate the grand
work being done today in their behalf

the country, and we think they do
