A RECREA-
TION PROGRAM
Wholesome Play, as Wen as Siren
uOus Work, Featured in
Grange Plans

The National Grange was repre-
sented at the recent recreatiOnal
conference, called at Washington, D.
c., by President Coolidge and which
he personally addressed, and in at
tendance there were B. John Black,
OVerseer of the National Grange; 4.
C. Atkeson, Washington Representa-
tive, and S. L. Strivings, master of
the New York State Grange. The
Grange officials are in hearty SYM
pathy with the nationwide recrea-
tional program there outlined and
that organization has already COM
plete machinery for putting such a
program into operation in rural dis
tricts.
For years Oranges everywhere
have stressed the need of well-Or-
ganized play and have urged farm
ers and their families to take Occa-
sional play days." as well as enlist
ing communities in athletic con-
tests, games and competitive events.
Many Oranges support competent
base ball teams, and in Michigan
state league of teams is every year
under Grange auspices.
Illinois features basket ball teams
the Grange membership,
while "barnyard golf" has attracted
q vice following at Grange gather
mss il the western states and TENS |
have been extensively organized
In hundreds of Grange localities
The summer field meetings are fea-
.ured by competitive athletic events,
with cups, banners and cash prizes
sffercd to the winners. Many State
FRANCES make an annual appropria-
ion for such awards, county and
ocal Oranges lead in similar under
akings and competition between
'ival neighborhoods and evenly :
matched teams runs very high.
All this is an outstanding feature
# Grange work and proves an ef-
ective means of maintaining inter
st in and loyalty towards the rural
ommunity, especially in awakening
among the young peo-
lie.

"a study of the age and grade of
ten million of school children shows
that there are more repeaters in the
first grade than there are begin
lners."
In commenting on the difficult
Transition from home to school, the
State Superintendent of Public In
lstruction of Utah, c. N. Jensen, said
''When investigators show that pro-
'perly trained kindergarten children,
mot in one school, but in many. are
seldom found among the repeaters,
but that everywhere they lead in
promotions, it appears that a rather
effective instrument has been found
with which to bridge this costly
gap"
If there is no kindergarten in your
school, work to secure one. For ad-
vice and leaflets on how to do it,
write to the National Kindergarten
Association, 8 West 40th Street,

FOR A TRUTH-N-FABRICS LAW
Grange Continues the Fight 1t Has
So Vigorously Waged

Up to the closing days of Congress
vigorous Grange energies were di-
rected in support of the pending
tFuth-in-fabrics measure, which
would enforce the marking of all
fabrics as to their exact contents of
wool, cotton, silk and other constitu-
ent parts. AS soon as Congress is
again in session the fight will be re-
sumed and Grange energies all over
the country are to be modified in
this undertaking.
For 10 years the National Grange
has been demanding a truth-in-fab-
RIGS law, contending that it is as
necessary for the protection of the
peoples interests as the stringent
pure food laws now nationally pre-
vailing, and for whose enactment the
Grange, through years of vigorous
agitation, was one of the leading ad-
vocates.

The forthcoming presentat- ion at Stewart of the musical comedy Prudence" written and staged by Miss Fraser, will provide the local public with a genuine entertainment treat, in the opinion of those who have seen the rehears- als. The comedy is said to be extremely clever in plot and dialogue and is filled with mer- ny jingles that intrigue the ear and send the listener on his way humming snatches of their tuneful strains. The act ing is also said to be cleverly done, being in the hands of such experienced performers as P. s. Jack, Miss Fraser, Wm. Orr, Helen Hall, J. D. McDon- aid and Ida Watson. There is also a pretty chorus of Port land Canals fairest daughters, which is said to form a most bewitching background for the principals.
