Busy New York Oranges.

State Lecturer Shepard of New
York has issued blank form to sub
ordinate grand lecturers for reports
along various lines of grange work.
Only about one-half the oranges in the
state reported for the quarter ended
July l. or 2S6, of which number 1874
held public meetings during the quar-
ter with 3,413 visitors, and the number
of applications for membership trace
able to the meetings was Ill. OF pa
oranges reporting on lecturers pro-
grammes it was shown that those par
ticipating in music numbered 2.617,
in readings 1893, in debate 1868.
Only seventy-six oranges use printed
programmes. Seventeen conferred de-
grees without manuals, although fifty
five partially dispensed with their use.
AS there are just about twice as many
oranges In, the state as reported and
as those reporting were from every
county and fairly represented the en-
tire state, the numbers above given
may be doubled to give an approx
mate idea of the work of all the
oranges in the Empire State from
April to July l, 1907

Fair Railroad Completed.

The new railroad from White River
Junction to the State fair grounds is
completed and the first train was run
over it last Saturday. Several of the
State fair commission were passengers
on the first train. The track is smooth
and the train ran nicely. The accommo-

largest of crowds.
The sterling silver cups to be offered
as prizes in the horse department have
arrived from the silversmith and they
are handsome in design with the best of
workmanship, They are now on exhibit
ton at White River Junction.
During the three days of the fair,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
Oct. /, and 3, Deputy Sheriff Spafford
of Windsor county will have charge of
the grounds with a large corps of assist
ants. Excellent order is sure to be
maintained.
Last week Secretary Fred L. Davis
closed a contract with the Montpelier

ing the fair. For out of door work there
are few bands in the New England
States that equal in efficiency this organ

HISTORICAL FACTS.
A Little Information Which Every
Granger Should Possess.


The national grange was organized
Dec. 4, 1867, but its permanent organ
ization as delegated body was not
perfected until the sixth annual ses-
sion, which was held at Georgetown,
u. c., in January, 1873, at which time
delegates from nine state oranges, rep
resenting 1862 subordinate oranges,
were present. The seventh annual ses-
sion was held at st. Louis, Mo-, In
February, 1874. There were thirty two
states and two territories represented.
During the year 1874 1000 oranges
were organized. and receipts therefrom
were $216,3S1. The declaration of pur-
pose was adopted at the seventh an
nual session-a document which still
ELECTS admiration and challenges criti-
cism The eighth annual session was
held at Charlestown, S. c., In Febru-
airy, 1875, and tfirty-six states and ter
ritorias were represented. In 1874 do
nations amounting to $54,S15 were
made to the state oranges, pro rata to
the number of oranges in each state,
to relieve suffering among the men,
bers of the Order caused by floods and
crop failures. The secretary's office
was moved to Louisville, KY, in 1875,
and the national grange convened there
in November of that year. Up to 1879
"a, 900 charters had been issued. After
that a reaction took place. Instead of
$40 1902 from state grange dues in 1870
there was only $12,319 In 1879, and
half the amount had been furnished by
the national grange In readjustments
of dues and donations. Up to 1879
100000 was refunded and donated to
the state oranges. In that year only
seventeen oranges were organized,
quite contrast from the 1900 organ
ized in 1874. only five years before. In
1875 there were 5000 deputies employ
ed and as the balance of the receipts
from the expenditures had fallen to
sc. 40S, bonds amounting to $4,000
were ordered sold, but not until 1882
was the last sale of bonds made to
cover the deficiency. Since that time
the balance has been on the right side
of the ledger.

oranges had been organized in that

FOR the financial benefit which they

In some instances by the fierce dis

seemed to be an entire Interpretation
of the aim and purposes of the Order.
Mr.. Woodman went to work to recon-
struct things, to enforce obedience to
the ritual and give dignity to the de-
when grand services We're most needed.
He possessed many qualities of true
leader. He was an influential and
forcible speaker, and his breadth of
mind caused him to view all phases of
the grange work in their true rela-
ton. He was familiar with the early
history of the Order and knew we'll

storing harmony and strength between
the north and south Just after the war
was one real cause that brought about
the organization of the Order of Pa
irons of Husbandry. Mr.. Woodman re-
lates how, when Mr.. Wardlaw, master
of Florida state grange, addressed the
national grange at one session, he de-
clared that he was ready then and
there to grasp the hand of a brother
from Vermont or any other northern
state and In behalf Of every member
of the Order from the south pledge
and bury all bitterness and i'll feeling
and work in fraternal unity. Imme-
diately f. B. Cotton. then master of
| Vermont state grange, rushed to the
6oor and grasped Mr.. Wardlaw by the
hand with the Patrons grip and said
| In behalf of every member of the
northern states: I'VE reciprocate your
pledge and assure you that your de-
sire of fraternal unity and brotherly
love is as sincere in northern hearts
ms it can be in the hearts of southern
brothers and sisters. We pledge you
that we will use our influence through
this fraternal Order to bury i'll feeling
and bitterness between the north and
south" At the conclusion of his re-
marks a recess was declared, and each
and all gave pledges of fealty to the
sentiment.
