The Somerset reporter., 1907-12-19
Somerset Pomona.

The regular December meeting
went up to Norridgewock and was
held Tuesday of last week with Som
erset Grange. 1t proved to be a rainy
day which caused many TO stay at
home who otherwis would have at
tended. The officers did extra well
AZ there were present, the Master,
Overseer, Lecturer, Steward Asst
Steward, Secretary, Pomona, Ceres
and Lady Asst. Steward and all Of
the executive committee. Mary l..
Carr, in behalf Of Somerset Grange,
welcomed the Pomona and w {. Ho-
bart had the honor Of responding TO
the address Of welcome.
The topics presented for discussion:
care Trusts Beneficial TO the Far
mers,n and "Does the Work Of the
Outside World Unfit Women for
Home Duties?" Those who took an
, active part in considering these ques-
tions were; Ansel Holway, l.. S. Mer
rill, W. c. Hobart, Clara B. Leayitt,
G. B. Walker, S. F. Emerson, L. L.
Smith, J. N Cannon, c. II. Allen, E.
. E. Barker, II. T. Choate, Roxa B.
Carr and Grace Marcia The
speakers are of the opinion that
trusts when rightly subjected to law
are of benefit to farmers Large
combinations OF capital are necessary
to create business and business opens
up healthy market for the products
of the farm. Intelligent farmers have
sense enough to know that those
great ocean liners that carry such
, immense cargoes of farm products to
foreign countries can be built and
E run in no other way than by large
, combinations of capital, nor can vast
lines OF business be carried on unless
. wealthy men combine and furnish
. the means Patrons of Husbandry
!, have learned that it is for their best
interests to encourage all legitimate
business whether carried on i'll a
u moderate or extensive way.
: In regard to the second topic, we
think that it has broadened and de-
: veloped wider sphere of usefulness
= and happiness for omen to break from
too much household drudgery, even
? at the expense of neglecting some
. little affairs that are of minor impor-
4; lance and go outside the home and
! take q part in the more active affairs
: of life. The grange came to the res
u cue of the women in farm homes and
has been helpful to them in develop
ing higher type of womanhood. II
the grange had never done anything
!, else worthy of praise it certainly de-
serves credit for the advanced posi-
!, tion it has given to women.
Besides the pleasant and interest
. ing discussion Of these questions,
there was a recitation by Grace
Marcia and solo by H. T. Choate.
: Owing to the unfavorable weather
: comparatively few OF the subordinate
Oranges were represented and the
subject of a division of the county
/ was passed by till the annual meeting
in January which will be held with
Skowhegan grange.
