the compiling of tax statistics of the

strongest arguments i'm favor of giving

God grant that it may come to us soon.

Nearly fifty years have elapsed since
the Order of Patrons Of Husbandry
was first organized. The original idea
of this nation wide organization came
from Oliver II. Kelly, who will ever
be known as the patron saint Of the
grange. Associated closely with him
were William Ireland. John Trimble
and Arson Bartlett, also Mr.. Kelly's
niece. Miss Caroline A. Hall. to whom
belongs the credit of women being re-
ceived into membership in this order
with the same rights as men.
So from the first within the ranks
of the Patrons of Husbandry men and
women have had equal rights and privi-
leges Always they have Endorsed equal
suffrage, but il remained for the Itch
igan state grange to be the first of the
state oranges to make an aggressive
campaign in behalf of this movement.
Endorsing a measure is one thing;
