ANNUAL MEETING OF STATE
GRANGE TO BE HELD IN MINOT
Des Laos, N. D., April 2, 1919
The Ward County Independent,

Des Laos. N. D., April z, 1919.
The Ward County Independent,
Minot, N. Oak.
! wish to announce through the col
umns of your valuable paper, that the
State Grange of North Dakota will
hold their annual meeting in Minot,
beginning on the Ord Wednesday in
June, being June 18th, and hold for
three days, ending June goth. .
On the afternoon of the 18th we Will
hold an open meeting in one OF the
parks, to which the public is invited.
The Hon. J. C. Ketcham, State Master
of the Michigan State Grange, also
Lecturer of the National Grange, will
be with us, and will speak on this oc-
casion. Bro. Ketcham is thoroughly
imbued with his subject, and has a
message for all; you will miss some
thing if you fail to hear him.
I hope every fourth degree member
tributary to Minot," will strain a
point to be at the convention through
out the session, as there are many
things of Importance to come up at
this session. This is also election
year, which should make the session of
more than ordinary Importance.
The Grange has great future in
North Dakota; our greatest task is to
educate the farmers, so their ignor-
ance cannot be commercialized, as has
been done in the past. Some one has
said that in times past the farmers OF
this country have acted as "balance
wheel in times of stress" Just now
we are passing through period OF
transition and readjustment that is
worldwide. Times like the present
need sober, progressive thought and
action along CONSERVATIVE lines.
The balancing" influence of such
thought and action are needed. 1t is
no time for radicalism. The psyche
logical influence of great body of
people such as the farmers compose,
going on in the even tenor of their
way, has mighty steadying power
at time Of readjustment such as this.
The meeting together and talking
together in the Grange meetings Of the
country will be of greater benefit to
fore. But let us as farmers, by our
thoughts, and our actions, prove. that
we still deserve to be called the ball
ance wheel Of the nation.
Let US abide by Lincoln's motto
I am not bound to win, but am
bound to be true. l am not bound to
succeed but am bound to live up to
what light l have. I must stand with
anybody that stands right; stand with
him while he is right and part with
him when he goes wrong"
