Grange Correspondence.

We have always maintained that every
grange, National, State, Pomona or subor-
dinate, should annually elect a reporter to
give out to such newspapers as will print
it report of the doings of the body that
should find its way to newspaper columns.
We believe such an officer would tend tC
add to the dignity OF the order, and would
be of inestmable value in telling the world
what was being done for the betterment OF
the society in the community If it was
known positively that the real vital action
of the grange was to be printed and the po-
stion taken en- public questions was to be
spread before the world, we believe il
would have tendency to brace up many

well enough alone. Let's have the order
stand somewhere en- all questions of the
day, and above all, let's have the world
know where we do stand.-Turf, Farm anC

The Chautauqua Home Reading Course for

The Chautauqua Home Reading Course for
1905 and 1906.
The scope of the course includes the ORR
ent, Greek art and literature, Roman and
Italian life and letters. Every year the
mysterious Orient is coming nearer to the
Occident. What can the two civilizations
learn from each other? Recent events in
Manchuria make this question of world
wide interest. The ChautauQua course in
the magazine offers a notable series Of ar
ticles on THE Spirit of Orient" by DR..
George William Knox, a gifted scholar.
Supplementing these articles the Chautau-
guam will publish "a Reading Journey in
China" which will add this curious and
puzzling country to the series. While the
Chautauqua readers are thus tracing the
main lines of development of the Oriental
peoples, the books of the Classical Year
offer an opportunity for comparison be-
tween the civilization of the East and that
of the West

that Italian cities possessed individuality,
each is typical of some movement which
influenced not only Italy but all Europe;
