The Grange and Temperance.

The question occasionally arises in
grange communities as to what the
position of the grange is concerning
temperance 1t may be said that a
cardinal principle of the grange is to
avoid all intemperance in eating, drink
ing and language. We believe it should
be within the provision of every
grange to give its active support to-
ward any movement for the enforce
ment of existing laws against drunken
ness. At the last meeting Of the ma
tional grange the following resolution
was adopted:
Resolved. That the grange hereby re-
news Its fealty to temperance In all
things; that 1t emphasizes Its belief that
the degrading American saloon ought to
be carefully and vigorously guarded until
It can be abolished and In the meantime
be made and held to a strict responsible
ty for the harm II does. and that II be-
lieves that every community should be
empowered by law to vote every saloon
from its midst OF Its borders.

Antidotes For Dormancy.

The best antidotes for a grange that
exhibits signs Of dormancy are a live
lecturer and some young people. The
wise lecturer Is he who interests as
many people as possible In each even
ing's programme. At recent meeting
In the writer's home grange a little fif-
teen minute entertainment involved
every member In the room. The lee
turer also announced that at the fol-
lowing meeting each person would be
expected to relate some actual expe-
rience In life, describe some scene or
place or event Of which he had per-
sonal knowledge. And that meeting
was the most interesting one in many
weeks. Such oranges do not become
dormant. There should be practical
farm papers and talks and all that Of
course. but there should be one num-
Der Of the evenings programme that
will include several Of those present.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
n a Grange Disbands, What Should Be
Done With Its Property?

" q 0rdn9e OiSpanoS, Wnat Snouio DC
Done With Its Property?
Under New York state grange laws,
the personal property of the grange
which comes from the national grange,
such as manuals,' charter, regalia and
seal, are taken by the national grange
and held In trust by that body until
such time as the grange should again
become active. The real estate, such
as hall, barns, etc, are sold at public
auction under the direction of the state
grange, and the proceeds Of such sale
are divided equally among the men,
bers of the grange who were in good
standing on the date at which the
grange became dormant There Is
Visapprehension on the part of many
patrons that in case the grange be-
other property, such property re-
verts to the state grange. Such Is not
the case and has never been the policy
Of tho New York state grange. The
property belongs to the members Of tho
subordinate grange who are In good
standing, and when the grange dis
bands only such participate In the d.
vision of the property. The property
Of a grange cannot be divided so long
as thirteen members In good standing
object thereto. Some oranges have re-
Trained from having their halls dedi-
Gated to the uses of the Order for fear
that such halls would fall into the
hands of the state grange in case the
subordinate grange became dormant.
We hope this explanation will make
the matter clear to everybody and that
no grange will hesitate to build hall
for fear it will fall into the hands of
the state grange If the local grange
should become dormant Such thing
has never happened in the thirty three
years the New York state grange has
been in existence; neither can it evec
happen under our laws.

No Liquor selling 1t West Michigan
Fair This Year.

Fair This Year.
Now comes "a the West Michigan
State Fair officials, with commendable
courage and of their own volition, with
an initiative which is splendidly worth
the while and which places our annual
agricultural and live stock exhibition
head and shoulders above any similar
enterprise in Michigan.
Well In advance of the opening of
the September exhibition and without
being egged on by any faction or I'm.
terest, the officials of the West Mich
igan State Fair, by formal resolution
unanimously adopted, have notified
the public that they will not during
the Fair permit the sale of intoxicating
liquors upon the Fair grounds.
This means q week of rational, in.
telligent and companionable pleasure
absolutely free from the maudin in
decencies which can not be avoided nj
public exhibitions where liquors are
OH sale. 1t means that the law-abid-
ting and confident attitude of our Fair
officials will appeal to the better elias
of citizens everywhere. so that our
exhibits will be large and of better
variety in every department than ever
before. 1t means that the wide-open
policy Of the State Agricultural So
ciety at Detroit is put in competition
with the temperate, wholesome and
law-abid;ng policy of the Fair at
Grand Rapids; that we will have the
upright, law-abiding. Clearly citizens
of the State as our guests. confident
in the guarantee already given that
they will not be compelled TO suffer
indlgnities Of all kinds at the hands
of drunken, licentious, indiscrimlnate
gang of toughs Of both sexes.
F. All hail the glorious initiative of the
Directors of the West Michigan State

NEW CARRIAGE HALL
West Michigan State Fair Erects
Fine Structure.
LONG FELT WANT IS NOW MET
Machinery and Dairy Products Will
Also BE Given Space in New
Building Which Compares
FavorabIy with Any
in Country.

On the opening day Of the West
Michigan State Fair, September 9th,
their new Carriage Hall which has
Just been completed will be dedicated
and thrown open to visitors for the
first time. The erection of this hand
some new structure, which is up-to-
date in all its appointments and the
equal Of any fair association in the
country for its size, will fill a long felt
want among the exhibitors.
1t has been the policy of the direc-
tors Of the fair ever since its organiza-
ton to put every dollar of the profits
each year into Improvements to the
buildings and grounds, as the fair is
not run as a money making PROPOSE
ton for private individuals, but for the
public good. The maner of the ex-
penditure of the profits Of last season
will certainly please, both exhibitors
and fair visitors as well. While the
new building will be known as Gear
rage Hail." it will not be devoted ex-
clusively to this industry. Exhibits
Or dairy products and dairy machinery
will also be housed there.
Exposition Style Architecture.
The new building is 100 by 900 feet
In size and Of the exposition style Of
architecture. 1t presents an imposing
appearance and makes a decided adj
dition to these beautiful fair grounds.
1t is topped by total Of 26 flag poles
each of which will float some kind OF
n banner or pennant and set Off the
new structure in fine shape.
The work on the building has been
pushed during the summer by large
force Of workmen and the inconveni-
ence of putting on the finishing
touches after exhibitors have arrived,
so common in exposition buildings.
will be avoided. The directors of the
fair inspected many Of the carriage
halls of the biggest expositions in the
country. and by correspondence and
securing the advice of the best archi-
tects have built very creditable
structure, embodying all the best fea,
lures of the up-to-date buildings in
other places.
Dairying, a Growing Industry.
Dairying is one of the most import
ant industries OF Michigan and one
which is having phenomenal growth
in the state. Recognizing this fact the
West Michigan State Fair is pleased
to give 1t just recognition. A por-
ton Of the new building will be set
aside for the dairy department of the
fair and some of the finest specimens
OF the business from the most enter
prising dairymen of the state will be
shown at Grand Rapids this year.
The Superintendent Of the Dairy
Department. Mr.. Z. f. Marston, Of
Bay City, has requested the Business
Committee Of the Fair to construct a
"cold room" for his department in
which butter, cheese, ETC., may be kept
cold and hard and seen by the public
through the glass sides Of the room.
This will probably be done and fin
ished before the Fair starts, Septem-
Der 9th
That a fine exhibit Of carriages will
be forthcoming is indicated by the
fact that as early as August IL FIVE
had reserved space in
the new building not yet finished.
