THE STATE GRANGE.
Younger Man May Be Chosen to Sue
 ceed State Master Wood.

Hartford. Jan 13.-The annual session of the State grange Will open fin the Auditorium tomorrow and will continue until late Thursday af- ternoon, the election of officers com ing Thursday morning. State Mas ter O. s. Wood of Ellington will comDlete his second term when the election of officers Is called, and 1t is rumored that he will not take a third term after having served four years.
 The New England Homestead or Springfield, in an article on the com Ing session, intimates that two terms Is enough for the state master and that sentiment !s in favor of the elec- ton of a younger man, though the efficient work of Master Wood IS recognized. Among possible candi- dates mentioned in the same article are Frank F. Blakeman of Stratford, ]. H. Putnam of Litehfield, Walter Hine of Derby. E. E. Brown of Pom fret, H. s. Blake of New Britain, Louis Garrigus of Waterbury, H. o. Daniels of Middlctown, l.. H. Healey of Woodstock aud H. G. Manchester of Winsted.
 Cautiously enough, the locality ar gument is advanced. it being assert ed that windham county has held the office for ten years and Hartford. Iltchfield and Holland counties for four years eacn. On this ground tt is argued that the new state master should come from New Haven, Fair field or Middlesex county. and that it will do no good to let the import ant offices go east of the Connecticut river year in and year out. Other things being equal. it is said the greatest good to the greatest num- Der will be accomplished by recog- nizing all the grange sections of the state and passing the offices around.

Reason Enough.

There are two good and sufficient reasons for the sale that starts at Wenzels Wednesday morning and one of these is that they were so ex- ceedingly late ,n getting into their new store and the other that they must turn this heavy stock of theirs into the very necessary cash. With the exception of very few restrict ed articles, all merchandise in the store passes under the hammer of the price reducar. In their ready to wear clothing department, which is a new feature with them this season and which for this reason. is particularly bright and new, contain ing of course not one stitch of old merchandise, they are particular ly we'll fitted to give you clean merchandise brilliant in its newness and effectiveness, and if ever there were opportunities for the pros pective buyer they certainly are now presented to you in this great two reason sale. In all their depart ments they have made such mar yelous reductions that they must needs appeal to the buyer as most remarkable even in these days of marvellous development and business enterprise.
