souri, State Board of Agriculture
through monthly bulletins and well
defined programs; also the Cornell
Reading Courses Of Ithaca, New York,
deserve favorable mention.
'The National Committee also has
a list of topics available to those
desiring them. We suggest list of
a lew excellent books bearing upon
this subject: Home Sanitation by
Richard Talbot; Home Economies
by Maria Parloa; The Library of
Home Economies in twelve volumes
covers the entire course; Human
Foods, by Snyder; Standards of Liv-
ing by Straightoff.
"Home-making in all its branches
is a great subject and one that is
growing. But If we are willing to
learn and improve our opportunities,
there will be instituted a better way
of living which will lead to more
real cOntentment in the home.
"Inasmuch as this committee must
be a well organized effort and that
public sentiment must be created we
Recommend first that It be the
duty Of each State Grange to ap-
point a standing committee of Home
Economics
Recommend, second, that the Ma
tional Lecturer provide in his pro-
gram seasonable topics relative to the
care of the home and that each sub
, ordinate lecturer be requested to de-
vote At least one evening during the
week during the year to this import
ant subject
Recommend, third, that the vari-
Gus oranges work together to secure
the appointment Of a State Health
Day"
The grange voted 800 to Mrs Hart
/, for expenses during the coming year.
, After lengthy discussion the grange
4 adopted the report of the committee
! on forestry and conservation which
was presented by c. B. Kegley of
Washington State, the chairman. The
4 report was in part as follows:
: Against Sale OF Resources.
Il Resolved, That we view with ap-
4 prehepsion the growing tendency to-
warOs monopolizing the water power
I of tlis country and that we urge upon
D.. ! Congress and the several State leg
r islatures the early enactment of laws
I to prevent water power monopoly and
o TO Treeerve as far as possible that
most inexhaustible source of power
G for the welfare of all people"
a I'VE recommend that in the Ma
tiOnal Grange at this session we af-
firm its Endorsement of these resolu-
B. tions in order to emphasize in the
9 most emphatic manner its unalter-
Y able determination to support a con-
servatiOn policy thereon expressed,
o. and its determination to stand by
h.. snalan HrrIaH FOR
n the sound conservation policy for
!. keeping and developing for the benefit
= of all the people, all the national re-
sources not yet surrendered to private
8 ownership.
fl Congress at the session just closed
= has made a good beginning on the
8, administrations conservation bills to
carry out the purpose embodied in
K the action of the National Grange.
@ But the special privilege interests are
r always alert and active, and unless
we are equally vigilant will succeed
I in making effective its legislation
!, now pending. Congress and any ad-
ditional legislation that will be
: necessary to round out conservation
, policy in complete accord with the
National Grange stand. This could
A I Dt dlIOulHAAonNu bg oNNAAA AhE Nh1
y adoption of amendments containing
hidden jokers nullifying the intent OF
the law.
: I'VE therefore recommend that the
National Grange in reaffirming its
position on conservation insist that no
* national resourse now owned by the
y government. either Federal or State,
o shall be sold, but shall be developed
e ! n
II system of short terms leases, and that
+ all forest lands. water powers, mines
and similar natural resources that
; have passed into private ownership
II shall be taxed a fair rate on their full
franchise valuation.
; "The operating capitalists are en-
/ titled to a fair return on the capital
e invested, but they are not entitled to
IL monopoly tribute for the natural
a resources which God in His infinite
'e wisdom, gave for the equal benefit ol
all the people of this and succeeding
Al generations.
