CHARACTER

The world recognizes and our mem
bership realizes, that the time has
come when our organization is to
exert powerful influence in the great
economic questions of the day. Let
our aim then be to direct that influ
ence along such lines as shall not
agriculture but shall as we'll lead to
great public service.
Now when it comes to rendering
public service that which counts
chiefly in an organization as in an in
dividual is not intelligence SO much
as what stands above the mere power
of body or the mere power of mind
and must, in a sense, include both
power of body and power of mind, and
that is character. 1t is a good thing
to have sound body and a better
thing to have a sound mind, but bet
ter yet to have that aggregate of quail
ties which groups into the one great
quality called character.
The great strength of the Grange
which still belongs to the future will
only be measured by it's character.
The organization that counts is the
organization that is clean and that
makes itself felt as force for clean
Illness, for righteousness, for noble
ness of purpose, for a broadminded
patriotism; to do that it must have
character and that character must be
determined by the characters of the
men and the women who go to make
up it's membership. The man who
does the work that counts is the man
who is Obeying a call and is carrying
out all inspiration to accomplish some
thing not as a task to be done, but as
a result to be accomplished. The man
in the Civil War who fought because
of the honor he thought would come
or for the pension he thought would
be bestowed is man whose name you
do not now read in the roll of honor,
but the soldier who, realizing his
country's call, and only that she need
ed help and needed him and his SER
vice, was the man who did his part
to establish the character of the Am
erican army which stands today with
out a rival in all the nations of the
earth.
When we are inclined to be pessi-
mistic over the conditions of agricul-
ture, and especially over the political
affairs of the United States, it is a
pleasant thing to look back to the 40
years in the life of the Grange; think
what it means in the way of an object
lesson that an organization, founded
as the Grange was, and built up and
maintained, upon the broad platform
of it's Declaration of Purposes, should
have grown to such power as it has,
accomplishing for agriculture and the
world what it has accomplished. Is it
not a big mark on the credit side?
A vast public service has been and is
being performed by the Grange and
vaster public service is to be per-
formed when we more fully appreciate
the Importance of our work and real
ize the necessity of giving that work
character.-Grange Review.

DIMIT, NOT DEMIT

In seeking honorable dismisslon
from a Grange a member secures a
card known as "dimit." This word
is often spelled incorrectly "demit, "
for which there seems to be no valid
reason. A writer in the American
Agriculturist gives the correct deriva-

A few days after Evelyn Porter came
home, Wheaton followed Raridan to his
room one evening after dinner. Raridar
had set The Bachelors an example of
white hannels for the, warm weather, and
Wheaton also had abolished his evening
clothes. Raridan's rooms had not yet
lost their novelty for him. The pictures
the statuettes, the books, the broad couch
with Its heap of vari-colored piiiowz the
table with its candelabra, by which Rari-
dan always read certain of the poets
these still had their mystery for Whea-
ton. ."
Going out to-night?' he asked with
n show of Indifference.
Hadn't thought of it," answered Rari-
dan, who was cutting the pages of a
magazine.
Don't let me interrupt if you're read
ing said Wheaton. But 1 thought
some of dropping in at Mr.. Porter's.
Miss Porter's home now, I believe
THAT'S a good idea," said Raridan,
who saw what was wanted. lie threw
his magazine at the cat and got up and
yawned. Suppose we do goY"
The call had been successfully man
aged. Miss Porter was very pretty, and
not so young as Wheaton expected to
find her. Raridan left him talking tC
her and went across to the library, where
Mr.. Porter was reading his evening pa
per. Raridan had a way Of wandering
about in other peoples houses, which
Wheaton envied him. Miss Porter seemed
to take his call as a matter of course
and when her father came out presently
and greeted him casually as il he were a
familiar of the house he left relieved and
gratified.
