at Wells last Friday.
There is some talk of having 3
Grange Field Day in August. We
hope the plan will be carried out foi
we are certain II would be success
and would be fea her in the cap Of
Dorset Grange.
Dorset Grange has been invited
to attend the next meeting OF Met
towee Valley Grange in Pawlet, Wed
nesday evening the 25th. II is ex-
pected that large number will ac-
eept, and talk is heard OF getting up
an old fashioned hay load" As the
moon will be at the full and the
roads are good the Changers should
enjoy going on a hay rack.
The Oranges In the Battenkill
Valley Fair district do not want to
allow interest in the Grange exhibit
to lapse September will soon be here
and the different Oranges should
have their Committees at work now
urging their members to prepare for
their Grange exhibits. Grangers take
time by the fore-lock and get all
ready to have large and perfect OK
hibition of your labors in the Grang
tent. Remember there are three
trizes, and your grange has a
chance for one of them.
