erSet Pomona TO De nelO lot tHe year
will occur next Tuesday and Wednes-
day in the Grange hall here. This will
be the annual session and the women
of Skowhegan will need to see to it
that the Grange larder is well supplied
for the various meals to be served
during the meetings. One of the I'M
usual features will be the reading of
the subordinate Grange CIPHER. if the
patrons wish, as announced by H. l..
Heald of Norridgewock, the Pomona
Master. Instead of placing the meet
ings for certain places within the Po-
mona jurisdiction it has been deemed
wise this year to let the subordinate
Oranges invite the higher order to
convene with them at such time as 1t
seems advisable. In order that this be
carried out, any Grange desiring the
Pomona to meet with them during 1917
should send q delegation to the session
or a written invitation to that effect
to the secretary $. +. Emerson. The
following program of entertainment
has been submitted by Mrs. Kate b.
