Grange Notes.
Growth of the Grange In New England.


In calling attention to the recent
growth of the Grange throughout New
England the Boston Transcript says:
There are now more than SO, 230
Changers in good standing in Maine. nor
is it the only New England state in
which the Patrons of Husbandry can
be at will a powerful civic force. New
Hampshire had quite recently a number
of Oranges almost equal to one in every
incorporated community. Throug hout
central Massachusetts the order is strong
and there are powerful contingents in
Connecticut and Rhode Island. Vermont
Changers spoke for themselves a few
years ago in the election of Governor
Bell. Though New England has recently
had two granger governors, nevertheless
the order lives pretty closely up to its
claim of not being more political than
the interests of agriculturists demand.
We hear comparatively little of the
Changers, compared with what we heard
20 years ago, but in the rural districts
their activity is continuous without
being spectacular. The Grange and the
Pomona are the two centers OF social
commingling in many a New England
town, and they undoubtedly make for
upIl1ls IIOUdUly Lie CIduSSIS are TO-
day more effective for the advancement
of farming interests than in the era of
their more spectacular influence of legis-
lation. Nevertheless, the rural politicians
find the Patrons of Husbandry worthy
OF observation, and keep their ears to
the ground about the Grange halls
The Vermont Grange now numbers up
wards CT 1000 members, a considerable
number having been taken into the or
ganization during the past year and the
organization seemingly is in a very
prosperous condition. AS an organiza-
ton, it does not dabble very much in
politics, but now and then it expresses
its likes quite forcb1y. as in the case of
Governor Bell, when he ran for governor.
It's chief work lies in the line of improve
ment of the conditions of the farming
class of people, and it is undoubtedly
doing fine work in Vermont, furnishing
many of the intellectual and social re-
quirements of the people of the more
scattered communities. If the influence
of the Grange is waning anywhere in the
country, it certainly is not on the decline
in Vermont.

Postage Hint for the Merchant.

Did you ever stop to think that every
time a letter which is under weight goes
out from your Office or store, you are
failing to get the value of the cash repre-
sented by that 2-cent stamp in the
corner?
The wise merchant keeps his mailing
clerks supplied with bright, catchy envel-
ope Enclosures of different weights and
sizes, to be inserted whenever letters are
not fully up to the prescribed limit in
weight. Make them brief, to the point,
and striking.
You make your employees earn their
money, or at least you ought to. Make
your Uncle Sam earn his. The first en-
closure may lot influence business, the
second and even the twentieth may not,
but the effect of good advertising is cum
ulative, and you can never tell when the
bird, in the shape of substantial order,
is coming home to roost.-[Betty Beffel.

Helm the PuhIic Schools.

Never in the worlds history have the
gifts of men of great wealth to public
benefactions reached such remarkable
figures as in the year 1909. The tremen-
dous total reached $142, 100000. About
one-third of the amount went directly to
the higher institutions of learning. 1t is
a praiseworthy thing to give to educa-
tional advancement, but why do all
these great sums go to the colleges? 1t
seems passing strange that some of the
wealth of America should not be turned
to giving better equipment to the public
schools, where it would help the chill
dren of the common people, who can new
er have the benefits of the college train
ing. A generation ago the colleges really
needed the help but now they have so
multiplied in number and have been SO
literally endowed that these great gifts
are much more needed in the public
schools, where the funds raised by taxa
ton never keep up with the growth of
population. This field should offer great
attractions to the generous public spirit
ed men with big bank accounts.-[M Man
