CONDITION Oh THE ORDER.
lou all know that We haven made
rapid strides during the past year. but
We have had q drive for members aud
have acquired 36l new ones We have
had our national master with rs this
summer for three days, and he lett many
J / Z :
! have held their annual fairs, our home
| to wipe out the last OF our mortgage
AGRICULTURE
Since God placed man on earth agri-
culture has existed. and it Will continue
to exist is il Is the vital factor III mans
existence. The agrlrulturst~ Of America
have labored under abnormal conditions
during the last four Years on account Of
Labor conditions and do not see any help
IN sight unless we as farmers unite and
work for shorter fixed hours on the basis
OF cost plus far profit
EDUCATION
fhcre Is no subject III Delaware that
Is more discussed Al present han cduca-
tion New thcn Wc have q chance To
get better schools something for which
Ne have always asked and worked, it
seems that many of us Arc not willing 10
support them 1t IS unfortunate that
this increase IN taxes for better schools
should coincide with the increase that
comes from the deprecated dollar of this
year That the latter alone would have
more than doubled taxes is lost sight of
behind the fact that the better school
conditions call for money Statistics tell
us that NE have been sorely IN need of
Il changed school system In Delaware
Now that ii is within our grasp, do not
let rs turn il down | earnestly recon-
mend that We declare ourselves in favor
oi the school law and that We give it our
undivided support.
The Order of T. of IL has ALWAYS stood
for te perance and we must not relax
on the eve of victory We must watch
and work or all gained viii be lost There
fore, | recommend that this State Grange
give to the temperance cause, our unan-
imous support at the coming election
III 1920 and also rs the next session Of
the Legislature in 1921.
l. GIsLATION.

close on the heels OF new bills both in
Washington and Dover Our office
III Washington is always ready to give and
take advice on all matters | earnestly
request and urge that all members use
postage stamps on our representatives
IN Congress. The National Grange de-
