A WORTHY COMPLIMENT.
What an Editor Thinks of the
Grange and It's Work.

What an Editor Thinks of the
Grange and It's Work.
Says II. w. Collingwood, editor of
the Rural New Yorker:
"We would like to take company
Of the city men who dread the future
Of this republic to such meeting as
was held at Ogdensburg (New York
state grange). If they were able to
recognize hope at all they would see
it in this gathering Of strong, earnest,
well dressed men and women Of the
farm. 1t was one of those meetings
in which one could start singing Amer
ica' without words or notes and find
30 per cent of the audience capable Of
singing every line. We always come
away from such meetings convinced
that, while true to it's fundamental
principles, the grange Is capable Of do
ing better work for Americas civiliza-
tion than any other fraternaf organiza-
ton in the land. This is not because
Of its political or business power,
though these are considerable, but be-
cause of its quiet uplifting work in
the home or in the rural community.
The grange may elect governors or SEN
ators or presidents, yet we can see that
q political victory of this sort might
be won in such a way that it would
be a moral defeat for the Order. The
grange will make a vital mistake If it
permits q few shrewd politicians to use
it as a mouthpiece for their personal
desires. Its strongest power is moral
and social. It's best work is done quiet
ly in the farm home, where every men,
Der tries to live up to the principles Of
the order"

The Grange and the Common School.


The oranges throughout the United
States should take deeper interest
in the common schools than they do in
most sections, not only in relation to
matters within the school building, but
Without. e., in making the grounds
inviting and attractive, keeping the
buildings in good condition, setting out
shade trees and doing many such
things as will make the school a pleas
ant and attractive place for children.
Every subordinate grange in pural
community should have committee
to visit the school in its district and
keep in touch with the work of the
school. This committee should make
reports occasionally to the subordinate
grange in order that it naay be help
full, If 1t can, to the school.

Oranges are pretty thick in New
Hampshire. One of every fifteen peo-
pie in the state belongs to the grange,
and two Of every nineteen in the towns
and villages are members. The town
Of Haverhlll has five active subordi-
nate oranges, and one inhabitant in ev-
cry eight Is a Patron of Husbandry.
In Litchfield one person in four is a
member Of the grange. In the town of
Atkinson three out of every eight m
