sion.

For the first time since May, 1917
the Pomona held a session with New
Portland Grange, Tuesday. October 20.
Threatening clouds in the morning
prevented an average attendance, but
those who did attend pronounced 1t
a fine meeting and were we'll repaid
with a splendid entertainment, a
bounteous dinner furnished by the la
dies of New Portland Grange and the
renewal of friendships and ac-
auaintances as we'll as forming new
ones.
The officers present were the Over
seer Steward, Secretary and Ceres.
The Overseer acted as master. G. E.
Savage as Oyerseer; S. D. Jones, as
Lecturer; T. Fl. Johnson. as Assistant
Steward; Miss Belle Reed as Chap
lain; w. H. Strickland, as Gate
keeper; Vina E. Ridley, as Pomona;
Mrs. S. F. Emerson, as Flora, and
Bertha S. Emery, as Lady Assistant

In behalf of New Portland Grange,
T. II. Johnson gave the welcome ad-
dress and G. E. Savage responded to
the welcome The topics for discus
sion were What one thing Is the
greatest need of today in the rural
sections of our State2" and is the
average town appropriating as much
money for schools as it can afford?'
The speakers in the order named were
g. E. Savage, S. F. Emerson, Cephas
Walker, F. E. Davis, F. p. Collins
Mrs L. H. Moulton, H. P. Norton, ID.
NJ. Norton. Miss Belle Reed and Mrs.
Fred Jackson AS regards the first
there were mentioned as the first
needs cooperative effort, contentment
and confidence. Effective arguments
were used to sustain these assertions.
The school question brought out the
statement that the average town was
paying all that could be afforded to
sustain the schools; that profitable
changes could and should be made
to make the studies more practical
and therefore more useful to fit the
boys and girls of today for the citizen
ship that will come to them in the
near future.
A fine recitation was given by
Madalene Emery and also by F. P,

topics presented left but little time
