Coolidge Tells
Why Grange Has
Kept Up Growth

pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 1J-The Ma
tional Grange has continued to -four
ish because it has kept constantly in
mind the thought of the farm as a
home, President Coolidge declared n
message read by Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace before the National
Grange meeting tonight. The presi-
dent in his message characterized
the Grange as lone farm organiza-
ton which has survived through
many periods of adversely and pros
perity," and continued:
1T SENS to me that one of the
reasons why the grange has continu-
ed to flourish is that it has kept con-
stantly in mind the thought of the
farm as a home and is represe nted
in its membership by the various
members of that home. 1t has reco-
n1Zed the need of q full home life
and Il wholesome rural life and has
never failed to present these as
things most to be desired. At the
same time 1t has recognized the fact
that satisfactory home life and ru-
raj life must be based upon reason
able reward for labor on the farm.
THE progressive conservatism of
the grange in it's sensible way of con-
siderng farm problems and present
ing farm needs has given it a posi-
ton of influence in the nation and
has led those n positions of RESPONSE
bility to listen to the views of the
grange with consideration and re-
spcct."
In opening his message. President
Coolidge extended to the Grange his
congratulations upon Its success and
steady growth" and in closing asked
secretary Wallace to express my
very best wishes to both officers and

Nowadays when a machine breaks

to be considered, but the machine may

In most cases. He has orders In for

thing and getting orders filed is some.
thing else, as all machinery dealers
and their customers know to their sor-

All farm machinery should be kept

when machines are handled with the
utmost care, but just now, when re-

difficult to get promptly regardless Of

guard against this unnecessary weak

Erroneous Impression That Rough,

The facts are some OF the most ex-

farms would pay better in pasture
