most important action ever unde'tak-
en- by the grange. They formed an
organization, which will be known
as the United Stores Association the
object of which is, by cooperation on
the part Of the farmers, to place the
products of the farm first-handed to
the consumer. The plan is for the
ASSOCIATION to receive the farm prod
ucts of its members and distribute
them to the association stores in the
large centers of population. Auto
trucks will be carried and the asso-
citation will be operated on the per-
cent. system.
The main object of the association
is to lower the cost of farm products
for the benefit of both farmer and
consumer by dispensing with middle
men, who, 1t Is asserted, receive the
greatest profit of all concerned, and
who, the grange declares, are large
ly responsible for the high cost of liv-
ing. The meeting was presided over
by William r. Greasy, of Bloomsburg,
master of the State Grange. Other
delegates were Leonard Rhone, Cen
tire Hall, past master; E. b. Dorset,
Mansfield, State lecturer; William

mers, Toughkenamon; c. II. Dildine,
