GETTING New Members.

A sensible way of acquiring new
members is one adopted by Columbia
co:;nty q. " grange. Every member
present is permitted to present one
name or more of persons who they
think would make good members.
These names are handed into the sec
rotary of the grange. At the follow
ing meeting committee of five chosen
by the grange or appointed by the
master take the names presented I'M
der consideration. They take pains to
get all the information possible about
the prospective candidates, and when
satisfied of their eligibility and de-
STABILITY the committee reports the
names to the grange, and each MEM
Der present is requested to take the
list or such part of 1t as he may wish
and then within the following two
weeks see all the parties or write them,
asking them to become members of the
grange. 1t will readily be seen that If
a person gets an invitation from sew
eral sources, as In this manner, he
will be very apt to respond.

authorities have for years shown Il
disposition to ignore requests from
farmers and truckers to furnish better
trackage in way Of sidings and other
conveniences for shipping farm prod
ucts, of which several hundred CAR
local grange was organized several
months ago and is in very fiourishing

do appeared to be to secure better

from the grange, armed with the neces-
sary facts and figures, accordingly
waited on the railroad superintendent,
stating the conditions and making it's
