STATE GRANGE OFFICERS.

Opinion on Their Election by Worthy
Master Horton of Michigan.
The editor of this department re-
Gently submitted a question as to cer-
tain suggested changes in the methods
of electing state grange officials to
Worthy Master Horton, and his reply
fellows. The questions referred to the
proposed choice Of state grange Off
cials by Pomona oranges, which were
to submit a list of candidates to the
state grange for the consideration and
action of the state grange delegates.
The other question referred to the
making Of nominations on the floor of
the grange the same as at political
conventions. Mr. Horton states very
clearly his reasons for the present sys-
tenn Of voting. He says:
The constitution of our Order defines
who are eligible to vote in the state
grange, and the provisions covering this
important matter are in harmony with
the basic plan Of the grange structure.
The election of officers being one of the
chief functions of the state grange, con-
stitutional provisions for voting would
very naturally include and govern the
matter of such elections. To change the
unit of authority in the matter of elect
ing officers in state oranges from the
state grange itself to the members at
large or to the medium representation in
Pomona oranges would require a revi-
sion of the constitution and quite rad
ieal change in the whole organic plan as
conceived and promulgated by the found
ers. While on general principles l favor
don, 10 f,1a Of In' r,ln 1
does not seem plain that In this fraternal
body of ours fraterna brotherhood and
good will would be better served than
now, while on the other hand much con-
tention and strife might be engendered.
Such strife and contention would be al!
right in political organization and con-
ventions, but it was foremost in the
minds of the founders of the Order of
Patrons of HuSbandry to bind the tillers
of the soil together In fraternity, and all
members agree that this silken cord
should not be broken. 1t has always been
the governing thought to eliminate all
political tactics and methods of advan-
tage getting from grange elections The
question Is very important in that SO
much of the original grange plan OF
structure Is involved.
Regarding nominations and supporting
speeches, l fear that IL 1t We're permitted
state grange sessions would have to be
greatly extended. As above stated, it has
been the rule to eliminate all semblance
of political caucus and convention meth
DDS from grange meetings and procedure.
AS 1t Is now done every member has a
risht and fair chance to have his or
her name presented, and all members
have the right to a secret ballot thereon.
Under present methods oranges may hold
an election, and no member will have his
rights and privileges abridged or sighted.
So far as nominations are concerned, I
am in favor of the present method.

GRANGE HALLS.
Their Advannges to BE Discussed at
December Meetings.

What are the advantages derived by
grange from the ownership of a grange
hall?
The advantages derived are very
similar to the advantages derived by
person who owns rather than rents his
home. Doubtless there are instances
grange would be less expensive than
owning Il hall, when interest on the
money invested, repairs, insurance and
care are reckoned, but even this does
not often occur When 1t does, it is
10 argument that should have weight
against grange owning hall. A
religious society would not expect to
be permanently successful that held its
services In leased halls. town or
school district does not hire a hall in
which to hold school, The government
Is erecting elegant buildings In all the
large cities for the transaction Of its
business, although at many times the
annual expense that leased hall would
cost. The fundamental idea in all these
matters is one of permanency and that
an association or society of any kind
is more likely to be permanent if it is
able to meet within its own walls. In
addition to this, there is a sentimental
idea in regard to grange owning its
hall taat does not appear in all the
other instances cited. When owned it
seems more like home to the organi-
zation. More interest will be taken in
beautifying and adorning it, and this
will increase the interest in the grange
Itself 1t will have that semblance of
comfort and will instil a feeling of CO.
operation and contentment among the
members of the grange that can hardly
be secured In any other way. Conten-
tiok and strife are less likely to occur,
and the grange room will begin to have
an attraction for members second only
to that of their own homes. They will
find themselves looking forward to the
time of the next meeting not so much on
account of the exercises that are to be
held as on account of the feeling that
the meeting will be in some sense a
home gathering of members of the
grange household, and no such intense
feeling could be developed If meetings
We're held In leased or public hall. In
short. the owning of hall by grange
adds permanency to the organization
and promotes fraternity in an eminent
degree National Grange Bulletin.

Question of Eligibility Discussed by

Question of Eligibility Discussed by
State Master.
In a recently issued circular letter
TO Ohio oranges State Master Derthick
says:
The Order is becoming so justly popular.
not only because Of its social and educa-
tional features, but for the systsmatized
opportunity 1t offers for effective cooper
alton, that men and women Of all occu-
pations are knocking at our gates for ad-
mission. Page 100 of the Digest, para
graphs to 8. describes who are eligible.
The declaration Of purposes says that
many are excluded by the nature of our
organization, not because they are pro-
fessional men or artisans or laborers but
because they have not a sufficient direct
interest in tilling the soil or may have
some interest in conflict with our pur-
poses" Page 100. paragraph 1, Of the
Digest declares that "any person engag
ed in agricultural pursuits and having no
interest in conflict with the purposes Of
the Order and Of proper age fourteen
years) Is eligible" Paragraph interprets
the phrase interested in agricultural
pursuits to mean that a person must
be engaged In agriculture to a greater
extent than IN any other business. or, In
other words. his leading business must
be agriculture Thus 1t will be seen
that each subordinate grange will. under
the law. decide upon the eligibility of it's
applicants. The ruling has always been
that in rural communities teachers, ply
sicians and ministers are eligible. as they
have, as a rule. no interest that conflicts
with the purposes of the Order and may
always be effective in promoting the chief
feature Of the grange-educaAon. 1t has
always proved unwise to solicit as
member one who Is known as "a disturb
err in a community, "a person hard to
get along with" or one to whom there Is
considerable objection.
Beyond question, the original intent
of the founders Of the Order was that
only actual farmers, tillers of the soil,
should be entitled to membership, but
it has come to this-that there are not
more than two or three states in the
Union where this condition Is enforced
at all, and we doubt If half the sub
ordinate oranges in those states abide
by the regulations. Just why the ma
tional grange should permit such a
condition as to membership to remain
in the governing rules of the Order,
only to be constantly violated, we do
not know, but there it Is. 1t Is left to
the Interpretation of each individual
grange, with the result that good
many who are not engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits at all are admitted to
the Order Either the word land"
should be changed to "or" in paragraph
/ Of the Digest (makiAg 1t read "or
having no interest In conflict" etc. or
else every grange should be made to
live up to the present requirements.

hundred and seventy-three books were

FARM LABOR QUESTION.
National and State Granges Should
Help Farmers Get LabOrers.

National and State Oranges Should
Help Farmers Get Laborers.
One Of the most prNzllng PROPOSE
tons that confront farmers today. says
Hon George b. Horton. master of the
Michigan state grange, is that OF OBJ
tanning help to carry on the different
branches of agricultural operations and
housekeeping. Osr country, with all
its Industries and resources, Is wit
Messing a wonderful development and
this provides attractive opportunities
for farm bred boys and girls and also
for all those who labor for hire These
conditions have drained the country
to distressing condition. 1t Is not
question Of wages, but one Of where
the help can be found. The records
show that over 100000 immigrants
have come to our shores during the
year. This record is unprecedented,
yet practically all of this immense
army Of people have gone to other
sources of action than the farms. In
quiry reveals the fact that many Of
these people are gathered IN on ar
rival by agents of large contracting
Interests and sent direct to different
parts of the country, while the remain
der from lack Of direction very nat
urally settle down in the large cities
to aggravate an already congested pop
uiation.
Under these conditions 1t becomes
necessary to look about us for relief.
The soil must be titled to furnish food
as susteaanee and, inasmuch as agrl-
culture Is the basic industry of our
state, it seems highly proper that state
aid should be sought. 1t seems that
the time has come when the work Of
the state labor commissioner should be
enlarged, with suitable appropriation
provided so that an agency can be es-
tablished at Castle Garden for the pur-
pose Of directing unsbjectionable i'm
migrants to the farms Of our state.
Cooperation between such agency and
the farmers organizations of the state
would complete the system. The lar
ger part OF immigrants come direct
from the farming sections Of Europe
ana no doubt would prefer farm work
here II there was a system for distribu-
ton established. The plan being In
line of relief to state necessity, it Is
recommended that our state grange ex-
ecutive committee investigate the mat
ter to ascertain II relief can come
from the suggested source and. If nec-
essary, to ask legislation in Its behalf.
Grange Fire Insurance I'm New York.
The amount of fire insurance in
grange companies in New York state
is increasing by leaps and bounds. At
the last report Of the central organiza-
tion, which was on Jan. last, n
grand total Of 800. .9s6. 495 was in force
In twenty seven companies in this
state. The large amounts are carried
In Jefferson and Lewis counties
namely, $12.422,S54; st. Lawrence and
Franklin nearly $S,5OO00O; Chemung
and Chautauqua over 100000. The
wonderful success Of this insurance is
based largely on the fact of econom-
ical management Of local companies
and the care with which risks are
taken.

Of danger Suddenly the bells disap-
peared; a box of bells, such as are

purchased, and as fast as a bell came
off, another was tied in its place on

was Teds constant chum, was discoy-

mystery was solved; and after that we
entertained our friends by tying a bell

Back to Nest for Eighteenth Time.

For the eighteenth consecutive sum-
MGR a Wilson thrush has come back
to patch of thick wood on the Henry
Cooley place at McKccvcr. n. Y., 10
nest and picked ont the same big bush
that has served him several times.
As usual he is accompanied by a new
wife. This particular Wilson thrush
came to the attention OF Mr. Cooley in
1888, because it was so tame that il
would perch on the window-s;ll and
take food out Of his hand The fol
lowing summer it returned and he
placed small silver band about one
ankle so that he could identify IL to
the Satisfaction of his neighbors who
doubted the stories he told Since
then the bird has returned regularly.
During all this time he has chosen but
two bushes in which to nest The
first would not have been deserted il
fire had not siuged the branches The
bird was then forced TO select another
tree bush and this he did after much
elaboration When the thrush came
north this year he brought with him
evidences of having been caught. On
the silver band were scratched the
initials -. c." OF course Mr.. Cooley
has no idea who a. c." may be, but
supposes that the bird has struck up
friendship with some one in the south
where he winters.
