Old Faneul hall, Boston. had within
its walls Dec. II to 13 gathering of
the bone and sinew of the land. 1t
was an unusual scene. The hall was
profusely decorated for the occasion
with flowers, foliage and bunting as
well as an abundance of fruits and
farming produce. The state grange
has not met in the city of Boston since
1891, and since that time the number
of oranges in the state has doubled
Out of POI subordinate oranges 1876
were represented and all the twenty
Pomona oranges. State Master Rich
ardson in his annual address said that
the Order had increased 1900 within
the past year, and he suggested that
the grange take favorable action for
better laws on taxation calculated to
reach personal property He argued
the Importance of good roads and the
need of legislation to protect them
from high speed automobiles, the de-
structiOn of the gypsy moth and the
need of arousing public interest in
losses by insect pests. A large amount
of business was transacted, and what
was perhaps the most important was
the selection of a committee of thirty
to carry into effect the vote of the
grange for trying a system of co-opera-
tive buying of agricultural supplies as
well as cooperative selling. The mas
ter of each of the twenty Pomona
oranges will be a member of this com
mittee of thirty. The executive com
mittee of five will also be members of
1t, and the remaining five were chosen
by the grange The secretary of the
Grange Fire Insurance company re-
ported outstanding risks at nearly 81
100000. There are now 2,770 policy
holders. Secretary Howard reported
thirteen new oranges organized the past
year, the largest number in any one
year thus far. There are now POI sub
ordinate oranges with 21,374 members.
The sixth degree was conferred on 555
new members. There was a lecturers
conference, attended by $40 lecturers,
oranges. a notable feature of one of
the evening sessions was the exempli-
| fication of the third degree by de-
gree team of twenty-one ladies from

STATE REPRESENTATION.
National Grange Refuses to Make
Change In the Basis.

4 resolution that brought out consid
cradle comment ut the national grange
meeting was the one introduced by Mr.
Kegley of Washington state to the eff
feet that the basis of representation of
the national grange should be amended
to include, in addition to the present
vote (Which shall hereafter be called
the state vote, second vote. which
shall be called the representative vote
and which shall give to each state a
vote for each subordinate grange In
good standing at the time the session
meets, at which the votes are to be
cast; that the state vote shall CON
tinue to be the vote in general use
and that the result of such vote shall
be final unless upon the announcement
of state vote the representative vote
should be called for by any delegate,
whereupon the representative vote
must be cast and the question being
voted on shall not be carried or lost
unless it receives ii majority of both
the state and representative votes. The
resolution was reported adversely by
the committee, and its report was
adopted. Mr.. Kegley endeavored to
have it referred to the state oranges
for their consideration. but was not
successful. This will probably set at
rest any further agitation of this sub
ject. The opposition to it was largely
based on the fact that the delegates to
the national grange, two from each
state, represented the state as Il whole,
as an agricultural district rather than
the people within the state, much as
United States senators represent the
states from which they come.

Death of MaryIand's state Master.

Hon. Joseph b. Ager, master Of Ma
ryland state grange, died on Dec. Of
heart trouble. He was born in Massa-
chusetts seventy years ago. In 1870 he
moved to Chillum, Md, and engaged In
truck farming and later in the bust
ness of dairying. He was recently
elected to his fourth consecutive term
as master of the Maryland state
grange. He attended the national
grange meeting in Denver a few weeks
ago, which overtaxed his vitality, and
since that time he had been Ill. He
was a genial old gentleman and had
done good work for the Order in his
state.

Past, Present and Future.

Thirty eight years ago tonight,
A few men and women thought it right
To form themselves into a band,
To drive Intemperance from the land.
Through all these years. once every week,
Good Templar lights have deigned to
speak
To people living far and near,
"Why not come and join us here?
Hundreds have been within our walls,
Have heard the warnings and the calls
To fee from grasp of Demon Rum,
To reclaim the drunkards, save the young.
Where are the hundreds, do you ask
To answer would be no easy task,
Some to distant lands have gone.
Some by God have been called home.
To our young Templars: may you e'er
advance,
For soon the time will come
To accept ana fill the vacant place
OF those who have toiled SO long.
Our ritual says Good Templar calling
Lift up the fallen, save others from fall
ing.
And if we have thu Come at heart
Wen not shrink from duty but do our
part
by the Grace of God don't yield to temp
tation,
But ever keep sacred our obligation;
For we the solemn promise did give.
To keep this pledge while we should live.
Cold Spring Lodge may it ever flourish,
And the Temperance cause may 1T ever
nourish.
Nav its aim and object ever be
To work for God and humanity.

A NATIONAL GRANGE PAPER
One VIII Probably lie Established
During the Year.

What was considered one of the most
important matters that came before
the recent meeting of the national
grange was that relative to the estab-
lishment of weekly national grange
newspaper. The resolution set forth
that the Monthly Grange Bulletin now
published does not meet the require
ments Of the Order, that more frequent
communication between the members
OF the Order is pressing necessity,
but in view of the fact that there was
not time at this session to arrange the
details it was resolved to refer the en-
tire matter to the executive commit
tee of the national grange, with full
instructions TO start Il first class week
ly national grange paper if, after con-
sultation with the various state mas
tiers, 1t seemed advisable to do 80.

During the past year Maine has or
ganized sixteen new oranges and reor-
ganized six, making au increase of
twenty-five subordinate oranges. They
are strong on all departments Of
grange work. There are 40S subordi-
nate oranges, represented by an aver
age membership of 1872. They have
added 1901 new members, making n
total paid up membership of 53,3G6
up to Sept. 30. hey have erected and
dedicated five new grange halls the
past year. which cost sol 900, an aver
age of 81 200 each. Three hundred and
f1fty-five Of the 40S subordinate oranges
own and occupy their own halls. The
aggregate value of these grange homes,
with their furnishings Is 1887 600
which serves to indicate the stability
of the Order in that state. Pomona
oranges have held 226 regular meet
ings and subordinate oranges 15059
and 700 special meetings during the
year.
Houlton grange will do cooperative
business of 100000 for the year. The
Patrons Cooperative corporation, con-
trolled by the state grange, will trans
act business of $275.000, and the CO.
operative financial work among the
oranges. besides that mentioned, will
amount to at least 100000 more They
have three Patrons fire insurance com
panies, representing business of 500
100000. furnishing safe and cheap
risk from fires at cost of one-fourth
of per cent The membership repre-
sents one-twelfth of the population of
the state. The state grange several
years ago erected what is known as
the state grange cottage at Good VIII
farm, which is owned, furnished and
cared for by the state grange. In that
cottage at the present time there are
twenty-four little orphans, for whom
the grange furnishes a home and gives
the opportunity of schooling. They
have just completed arrangements for
scholarship for higher education In
young ladies' classical school, Maine
is certainly in the front rank of active
grange states.

the products of the state which were
taking wealth from it, but seldom, If
ever, paying anything to the revenues
of the state. While double taxation
was wrong, he remarked that he did
not consider it so great an injury to
the state as to have so much property
exempt from taxation. Mr.. Bell said
that when he was elected master,
twelve years ago. the organization Of
the state numbered 2,200 members and
that now there are 1000 There are
126 subordinate oranges and fifteen
Pomona oranges. The increase in mem
bership the past yearwas 1000. Ex-Gov-
ernor Bell declined reelection as mas
ter, and George w. Pierce was chosen
as his successor Resolutions were
adopted in recognition of his long serv-
ice, with expressions of the esteem in
which he was held by the grange. II
was voted to give 500 to the New
England fund for entertaining the ma
tional grange at Hartford, Conn, next
year.
