The Union League grange of King
man. Ore. is considering the organiza-
ton of new feature of grange work.
or work and recreation combined. AS
a dinner club has in its very title
something attractive and suggestive Of
sociability. 1t is proposed that farmers
families who come to town on Satur-
days to buy groceries or market farm
products bring their loaded lunch pals
and at noon repair to the grange hall.
where stoves. tables and dishes may
be provided and a committee be in
readiness to help serve the lunch in a
homelike manner. When all are seat
ed the master of the grange or other
presiding officer would introduce the
subject or subjects for the days dis
cussion. Thus eating and talking to-
gether, a pleasant and profitable hour
or two would be passed. If any chose
to pay Is cents for the lunch rather
than bring one, they could do so. In
some places this noon day plan would
certainly be feasible, while in others
we should doubt it's success. But it is
worth a trial.
