One Of the most important, if not
the most important, grange meetings
OF the year was held with Cascade
Grange No. 81, P. H., on Wedncs-
day evening, June -. when the high
priest of Demeter of the National
Grange, Charles NJ. Gardner, was
present. The meeting was called to
order at 8 o'clock by Worthy Mas
ter Charles H. Wheeler, who opened
the meeting in form. At the roll call
Of officers nearly everyone was in his
place. AS this was a special meeting

the worthy lecturer. Arthur A. Glea-
son. who presented a very interesting
program, which opened with music
by the orchestra composed of Alfred
Stevens, Inez Stevens, Mile Petit
grove, Thelma Pettigrove and Gladys
Crotto. This was followed by a very
pleasing original poem of wei
come" written and read by Bertha
Wheeler who at this time presented
Bro Gardner a beautiful bouquet OF
roses. Mr.. Gardner accepted them
with thanks and after brief intro
duction by the Worthy Master Char
les H. Wheeler, gave very interest
