good work done by the State Grange.
The most important measures oonsid-

the redistrictlng the state into single

most beautiful song was appreciated
and in answer they sang "Sweet Ade-
line.
Our meeting had an amusing Incl
dent and one that shows the Grange
work 10 appreciated. Some one in
troduced a resolution asking for
monthly meetings until October l, but
when the motion was voted upon a
large majority wanted the Grange to
meet as usual, twice a month. 1t
seems as though we we're into some
thing we can't leave, it is part of
our social and educational life, and
any attempt to make 1t farther be-
tween meetings is not very popular.
Choir sang "Merrily Ring, 'and the
Grange closed in regular form to meet
In two weeks.
