THE CHILD's SOCIAL PROBLEM
By Sophie Kitchner

IN a more or less hushed, expectant,
unresisting attitude a group of
children were waiting for one Of
their number, who was at that mo-
ment bowling his way across the
street, to reach his mother "to tell
her on them" The occurrence was
not new one. In another moment
the boys mother would hurry out Of
the house in answer to her sons lus-
ty cries and cross the street to learn
what had happened to him.
The children were not afraid of

TREE PLANTING EVENTS

Hundreds of Oranges throughout
the country celebrate ArbOr Day
each year by tree planting exercises,
at which shade trees are set out On
the town common, along village
streets and rural roadways, and ap-
propriate neighborhood exercises
carried out in connection. Similar
events have centered around the
erection of honor rolls, memory tab
lets and the marking of local histOr-
ical spots, as the result of Grange
initiative and planning.

MEXICO WANTS THE GRANGE

Recent inquiries have been made
from Mexico relative to the Ameri-
can Grange, showing an inclination
to adapt its work to rural conditions
In that country, and those interested
are quite disposed to give the organ
ization a try in the near future.
This inquiry is the more interesting
because Of the fact that it followed
similar ones from several countries
in Europe and from South Africa
and Australia. Particularly from
Russia have recently come several
inquiries about the operation of the
Grange organization. while an actual
movement towards trying it is under
way in the vicinity of Aberdeen,
Scotland.

WOMEN ACTIVE IN THE GRANGE
1t Has Always Given Them Equal
Privileges With the Men

The fact that women are sitting as
delegates in this years national con-
ventions of the big political parties,
with a representation the same as
men, has been widely heralded as
one Of the noteworthy steps in the
progress of that sex. This empha-
sizes the fact that almost go years
ago the Grange at its very beginning
admitted woman to full membership
and voting privileges, and that from
that day to the present she has oc-
cupied exactly the same place in the
organization as men, with full eligi-
bility to all elective Offices. At the
present time IL State Oranges have
woman as lecturer, and 10 State
Grange secretaries are women. There
are also more than 200 women at
the present time masters of subordi-
nate Oranges throughout the United
States. Two state masters have been
women, Mrs. Sarah G. Baird for q
years. in Minnesota and Mrs. Pearl
A. Stillwell two years in Wyoming.

GRANGE THRIVEs IN CANADA
1t Occupies There an Active and In
tluential Position

The Grange in Canada is an effec-
tive organization, particularly in On
tario, where there are many subor-
dinate branches, all grouped under a
parent organization, known as Do
minion Grange. The latter is afjl-
lated with the National Grange of
the United States and sends dele
gates to the annual sessions of the
latter.
The Grange in Canada has exerted
marked influence in the legislative
policies of the Dominion and Former

THE GRANGE
A PIONEER
Has Taken the Lead in Many Move
ments Of Great Value to the
Farmers

One Of the most valuable phases of
Grange work in the country is the
leadership that has been provided in
setting going other organizations
outside itself, which prove of service
to the farmers and the rural inter-
ests. Among the latter are included
livestock shipping associations, Or
ganizatiOns of fruit and poultry men,
the banding together of the potato
growers in Maine, the cranberry
raisers in Massachusetts, the tobac-
co farmers in Ohio, the bean grow
ers in Michigan and the dairymen in
many states, particularly New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Most of these associations, as well
as a great number of commodity or
ganizations, which buy and sell on a
large scale for the farmer, have been
organized in Grange halls ,as the re-
suit Of Grange call, and with the
leaders in the new movements al
most invariably trained by their
Grange experience.
Besides doing its own work along
legislative, educational, social and
community service lines, the Grange |
has rendered incalculable benefit to
the farmers in hundreds of localities |
by initiating and promoting these /
outside agencies and organizations,
which have put real money into the
farmers pockets and which could
not have been carried through had
not the Grange influence and energy
been behind them. Grange halls
are community centers
for the promotion of any project
which will be of local benefit.

FIGHT FOR LOWER TAXES

The Oranges in Washington are
rapidly lining up on a statewide
fight for lower taxation on live stock
and are doing some effective educa-
tional work towards this end Fig
ures are cited which show that while
the nations wealth increased from
1912 to 1922 from S94,000,000,000 to
$164,000, 100000, it's live stock values
diminished during the same period
from $6,O0O,000,0OO to less than S5,-
00O,000,000. The Washington Grange
program calls for lower taxation on
live stock and higher assessment
values on land.

A big Grange drive is on in Ohio,
with National Master Louis, J. Taber,
several outside state masters and all
the officers of the Ohio State Grange
leanding assistance. The ends sought !
are many new Oranges and large |
classes for initiation. The goal set in
Ohio is a membership of 100000, !
which it is hoped to reach within the
next few years.

Many subordinate Oranges in Ok

bers of commerce in running home
talent lecture courses. Convenient
county seats or other centers are
selected and the patronage of the
farmers is drawn from over a wide
territory.

Last year Albert r.. Mackenzie, Ro-
