A GRANGE GIFT.

The Grange at Acton, Mass. has re-
Gently done highly commendable act
of community service by erecting a
handsome drinking fountain and pre-
senting 1t to the town, as a free gift
for all the people. The fountain cost
$500, and this sum was raised entirely
among members of Acton Grange, all
outside assistance being declined. 1t
is handsome granite fountain. beau
tifully designed and supplied with
drinking facilities for men, horses and
dogs. In the top is a capstone design
ed as a sheaf of wheat, while the
whole, suitably inscribed, occupies a
conspicuous position on the broad
town common, in the center of the
village.
\ This is the second large community
service undertaking which Acton
Grange has carried out in the past
three years, the former case being the
raising and expenditure of more than
$500 in repairing an unsightly row OF
old dilapidated horse sheds back of
the village church. This removed the
one village eye-sore and called down
upon the grange the blessing of all
the citizens of the town, who rejoiced
at the Improvement.
During the past IL months five Mas
sachusetts Oranges have erected
drinking fountains and then given
them to their town, for the free use of
all the people. BY no other means
can a Grange render greater serv-
ice to its community, nor one that will
add more to its own prestige nor more
certainly induce outsiders to affili-
ate themselves with the Grange.

EDITORIAL.

Here's a tip to Clio merchants.
Cass City business men have Just
finished their first annual bargain
week and it's probably an institution
in the city now. Helps get acquainted,
they say. This is what appeared in
last weeks Cass City Chronicle
about the affair:
Remarks made by merchants who
dropped into the Chronicle Office du-
ring the past few days indicate that
Bargain Week at Cass City brought
large number of buyers and THAI
the business transacted in the sew
en- days reached big figures.
A. A. Hitchcock says that Satur-
day, Nov. /, the first day of the
Bargain Week, was a hummer in
his store and that the cash register
showed the biggest days business in
the history of the institution. Dur
ing the week, he received several
mail orders for goods advertised at
the, bargain rates.
4 4. w. Jones says that he sold 80
barrels of -four during the week,
some customers driving as far as 16
miles for it. Last Saturday was one
of the best days business the store
has enjoyed.
Figures given by ID. Crawford &
Son indicate that bologna eating is
far from lost art in the Thumb.
During Bargain Week, they sold $50
pounds of ''the links"
Bargain Week will undoubtedly be
a permanent feature with Cass City
merchants. j.. c. Farrell, Of the
Farrell-Townsend Co., is the origi-
nator Of the plan and he is to be
congratulated on its successful term

MAKING HISTORIC SPOTS.

A plan of practical grange endeavor,
which is being quite generally taken
up in many sections, is for the local
grange to take the lead towards bring
ing about the proper marking of local
historic spots. There are great
many of the latter, in all parts OF
the country, still unmarked in any
respect, and which should be proper
ly preserved for the benefit of future
generations. Sometimes local histori-
cal societies take up this work, but
more often It Is not done at all, not
from lack of local interest, but SIM
ply because there Is no leadership.
Here is where the grange comes In,
first by agitating this matter, then by
enlisting actual support towards the
raising of funds and their expendi-
ture for the marking of local points
to which village pride attaches and
to which future generations will un-
ceasingly point It's practical grange
work, for community benefit, and lots
of 1t is being done.
