No Dancing at the Grange.

(Maine Farmcr.)
The official ruling given out by the
State Grange officials in relation to dane
ing should not be considered Il blow
directed against the liberties of the mem
bcrS Of the Order. Rather it is n far
seeing protective measure instituted for
the future safety and well being of an
organization that as 4 whole has never
yet realized the tremendous responsibility
which rests upon it rs Il factor in up
holding and promoting the welfare of the
rural life of {: State and Nation. Not
alone is such an action needed in Maine :;
for it is the dance more than any other
disturbing element that is and has been
distracting from ana dissipating the in
terest which should rightfully be cen
tered around the problems that are stand
ing out clear and well defined for settle
mtnt. The writer is thoroughly cOgni-
Zant of scores OF Oranges in other states
that have rever ted into what is but little
more than n club for the furtheranctA I'll
dancing parties. the Grange sessions be
ing mostly devoted to opening and clos
ing, with n short interim for appointment
Of committees to arrange for the success
sion of dances that follow on the heels
of each other. 1t is true that the condi-
ton described is by no means general
but it Is too common in Maine and else
where and becoming more so. Let
every true patron stand for the decision
and by the Order.

Our Good Old State.

u
Many of our exchanges ar" congratu-

something elSe TO attend to besides stock
ing its lakes and streams with fish for tn"
summer visitor to angle for. The indus
trial prosperity of the STATE is a matter
to be looked after and should not be ne
elected just for the SAX" OF toadying to
our summer visitors There may be great
profits in some sections in taking summer
bOarderS. but,aS a rule it means Il vast
amount of work for little gain. Main"
is too good Il state to be entirely given
over to pleasure seekers and the sooner
we come to understand that fact the bet
ter it will be for us as Il people. Instead
of seeking to make our State Il national
play ground we should endeavor to make
every valley ring with industrial lite.
behind oth"r'States in this regard. With
our stretch Of sea coast and water power
of q thousand ponds and rivers W. should
be able to hold our own with other states
as a manufacturing and commercial peO-
pie. True. our winters arc long and Sc
we're, but out of door workers can lay by
enough ir summer to carry them through
the season Of ice and snow. The idea Of
making our State n play ground in sum
mer is not calculated to bring out the best
there is in its inha There is dan
ger of it breeding discomfort on the pa TT
of our ycomanry and may result in tn.
cncrvatiOn of cur boys and girls. 1t is
Jack a dun hoy. which may be true. but
play without any work is the more to be
avoided. Let the good old State OF Maine
hold up it's head as a good place for
something besides Il play ground for thu
inha bitants Of other states and countries.
