Grange fairs are a source of help and
inspiration to the Grange. and we ought
to have more of them.
GOOD ROADS.
AS we have raveled about the State
we have noticed with pleasure the
marked improvements in the roads OF
our state and that this is being brought
about by 81 pay as you go" plan that
does not burden anyone. We as patrons
should help the State and town authori-
ties in this work all that we can. There
is no one thing to-day that is adding
to the value of our farms more than
the Improvement of our roads and this
is being lore without m%ortgaging the
future.
TEMPERANCE.
This IS a question upon whici, the
Grange has had clearly defined opinions
since It's organization. realizing that
n compromise with tile great evil of
intemperance would result in harm to
the filters Of the soil. The great war
that is sweeping Europe has demon
strated more forcibly than ever, that
men to bc at their best. both physically
and mentally, must be sober. Clear
thinking, quick action and hard work
are hindered by drink. Our 1ails and
poorhouses are filed, either directly or
indirectly, by drink. and it behooves
every patron who has the good of his
home and community at heart. who is
looking for a bigger and better Vermont,
to do all in his power to remove the
temptation to drink from the State. Let
us heed the call and at the coming
March meeting order a prohibition law
to go into effect. Whatever the result
of the vote may be it is our duty, as
good citizens, to see that the law Is
enforced.
IN CONCLUSION.
Patrons OF Vermont, let our slogan
for the coming year be an average in
crease of ten members each year for
each subordinate Grange and large
numbers added to our Pomonas. Let
us make our Grange Of such a benefit
to the community that it will be easy
work to increase our numbers.

WHY HUSBAND AND WIFE DIFFER.
OR. Mabel Irwin in the American)

UT. MABEL irwin IN tne Amerlcan)
Question. Why Is it. that husbands
and wives seem always to he as cross
purposes, each never understanding the
other?-A Heartsick Wife.
Answer,-This is largely because they
do not yet understand themselves. Men
and women are compliments of zach
other-not supplcments-and they almost
always approach a subject from opposite
angles; the man, usually, from his in
tellcct: the woman from her emotions.
Because of this each is likely to look
with suspicion upon the method of the
other, and misunderstanding ensuos. In
deed, half of the domestic wranrles
come from the fact that both husband
and wife are determined to make over
each other in Ibis own image and like
ness" 1t simply can't be done.
The next time your beloved seems oh
fuse and heartlessly cold be patien, with
him. Let his intellect work, and allow
him to tell you how the matter look
to him. Then, most likely, he will liston
to your side of the story, and YOU both
will find some common ground of under
standing.
Man and woman represent two differ.
ent poles of being, and it is only n,
the equator of thought" that thoy
meet and understand each other. Try tc
