TO BOOM NE.
ACRICULTUREAT
. GRANGE SESSION
National u lventi0n In BOs.
ton Nov. 1913 Will Be
Great Event

As plans for the big National
Grange session in Boston, Nov. 1913
assume definite shape, it is clear that
the two outstanding 4eatures will be
the conferrinp of the seventh degree
and the splendid exhibit OF New Eng
land agricultural products that is TO
occupy the entire exhibition hall
OF Mechanics Building-and be open
entirely free to everybody for tour
days. Besides all the other attractive
features OF the big national gathering
these two are sufficient to draw a
big crowd, and the estimate OF 10000
Grange members brought to Boston
for the event seems fully warranted,
besides all those not members of the
Order who will come to see the agri-
cultural show.
The supreme purpose of the cXhi-
bition is to boom New ENGLAND agr'-
culture, and to emphasize the import
ant part the Grange occupies in its
development. Viewed in all its as
poets, this coming show will be diff
ferent than any ever before held in
the country, and it will be worth 60
ing a long distance to see.
An added "big feature" of the scs-
sion, just arranged for, is securing
Rev. Russell H. Conwell of Philadel-
phia to give his famous lecture,
"Acres of Diamonds" at the Friday
morning session, November II, at
1890.
Definite announcement is made
that the seventh degree will be con-
ferred at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
and at 7 o'clock in the evenne on
Friday, November II, with total of
10000 candidates in the two classes
confidently expected In addition to
the rreat New England crowd for the
degree, 1000 candidates are nromised
from New York, several Pullman car
loads are comm" from Michigan and
not less than 30 states will ~robably
be represented among those who
take the degree. Thus it will not only
be the largest initiation in numbers
ever carried out by any fraternal or
ganization in the United States, but
the most representative as well. A
great aomunt of work and liberal
outlay will be nut into the stage set
tings for the degree, the electric
lighting effects and the music, as the
Mechanics Buildinr stage is the larg-
est on which the degree has ever
been presented. A very attractive
scheme of decorations for the hall it
self is also being worked out.
