proved interesting and amusing. The
first number was a talk on the Stat
tuberculosis campaign. One brother
volunteered to make house TO house
canvas to obtain the 5000 quota for
this town and another offered to ac-
company the first brother while solic- !
ting. The worthy chaplain expressed
his opinion that they were two of a
kind and anyone would be willing to
nav them a dollar apiece to get rid of
them. The secretary was called upon
to give instruction in regard to corn
chips" an article purported to have
taken the place of potato chips at the
recent Pomona meeting supper. He
offered to talk on "beans" instead but
it was voted that he bean-not allowed
to change the subject as the Grange
was greatly concerned in the first
mentioned food product. Notice was
given of the next Pomona meeting to
be held at Wells on Friday, June 18th,
and the fifth degree members are
