The Knox County Pomona grange
met Saturday, Aprif "a, with Monroe
grange and a very pleasant and profit
able meeting was had.
After reports from the subordinate
oranges and the legislative commit.
tee, the matter of field day meeting
was taken up. 1t was decided to hold
a Knox County Grange field day at
the Wooster experiment farm the
second week in June. 1t is thought
that this will be entertaining and
very profitable. A committee, as fol-
lows, was appointed to make plans
and appoint committees in the sub
ordinate oranges to cooperate in
making the day a success: John
Cunningham, ]. II. Bone ID. b. Kerr,
Herbert Leedy and Charles Sims. At
brief meeting of the committee, it
is proposed to ask all Changers, farm
fers and others who desire to go with
ithe party, that have automobiles, to
take their friends and neighbors to
Wooster. Arrangements are under
way with Director Thorne of the sta
tion for speakers and guides at the
station.
The coming campaign for funds to
build and equip county fair grounds
was discussed. The committee repre-
senting the Pomona grange reported
the plans of the general committee

and town in the county and 1t Is de-
{ sired that all Will be ready to help
