Are you Granger?
No?
Well, you are unfortunate. You
cannot participate to the fullest extent
in the big encampment that will be
held next week in grove near Park
dale in the Upper Hood River Valley.
This foregoing statement. however.
is not intended to throw a damper on
the spirits of non-Grange members.
Every citizen of Hood River or any
other county or state will be as vel
come as the flowers of May, commit
teemen in charge of the event tell US,
and a large number of city people will
attend the meeting. But the members
of the four county Oranges have
double pleasure, not only that of
attending the affair but that of plan
ming and in anticipation. The Granger
and his family can take greater per-
sonal interest because of a kind of
proprietorship in the event.
The Grangers of Hood River are to
be congratulated on formulating the
encampment plans. The event has not
yet transpired, but from the hustle of
public spirited citizens. valley hustlers,
the feeling of anticipation that is
already in the air, one will make no
mistake in predicting that the encamp-
ment is going to be successful. The
Glacier makes the prediction that in
future years Grange encampments will
become annual events that will be
heralded far and near throughout the
Northwest.
The approaching encampment not
only offers the rancher means of an
outing but he will be privileged to
come closer in contact with his fellow
orchardists from other communities.
He and his family will hear lectures
60 home with new ideas that will
bring diversion and profit.
