a reading by Anna Nickerson. A paper,"What
Will Happen When Every Farmer Belongs to
the Grange?" written and read by Velzora
Nickerson, was one of the many good features
of the program. State Master Statson was
again called upon and responded with very
helpful and interesting address,
1t is unfortunate that only such a small
number of Masters and Lecturers of subordi-
nate Oranges should receive the benefit of so
broad progi am as is presented at nearly
every meeting of the Pomona. The best
talent in the Grange field is employed, not
only for entertainment but as a means of
assistance to the subordinate Oranges, and the
only way this can be accomplished is by hav-
ing representatives at the meeting who will
take back to their Oranges something helpful.
After a monoogue by Mrs. Will Carter.
State Deputy Evans was called upon and
briefly spoke along Grange lines. o. B. Dow
ably opened the discussion of the following
topic: 'What is our individual responsibility
to the order and the community" Mr.. Dow
outlined in a comprehensive manner what he
considered to be the duties of good patron
of husbandry and closed by saying that if one
is true Patron. he will be a good citizen in
the community. The subject was further dis
cussed by F. M. Nickerson, Annie Clements,
ID. M. Kirnball and A. Stinson. C. A. Levan-
seller of Waldo Pomona made brief remarks.
The members showed their appreciation of
the fine address of MIR. Stetson and the cour-
tesies of Granite Grange by rising vote of
thanks. 1t was also voted to send Harriet
Nickerson, the pianist, letter of sympathy
for her recent illness. A chorus of voices
rendered fine music throughout the session,
with Wnnifred Stinson at the piano, and the
Grange closed with the usual formalities.
