Houlton certainly can tell the
world something. To be sure it has
been telling the world for some
years that it has the largest Grange
on the face of the earth, but the
secretary of Agriculture of the
United States has revealed that it
can tell a lot more. According to w.
]. Thompson nf South China. former
master of the State Grange, who
was in Washington a good part of
the Winter, the secretary expressed
the opinion that Houlton Grange is
also the most successful example of
cooperation in the world. If one
had ever come in, contact with those
whole souled whole hearted Aroos-
took county folk on their own heath,
one can easily believe that the
secretary was exactly right. It's the
Aroostook spirit, and that spirit is
in evidence ten minutes after one
alights from a train in any one of
its big and busy towns.
