have been erected or dedicated with a
total replacement value of more than
$4,000. We now have 1892 Grange
halls in the United States, valued at
over $16,000,000. This is an eloquent
testimonial of the community building

and some recognition should be given
to these organizations either In the

be hung in the hall or by giving them

Proceedings, National Grange Monthly,
or in some other suitable manner.
While we are considering Grange

uously in attendance and in the pay
ment Of dues for so years or more.
Grange law makes no provision for
honorary membership, but we might
provide some suitable recognition cell
ebrating this type of Grange service.
During the year, in excess of $4,000
has been expended for the organiza-
ton of new Oranges, for work in new
territory, and for Strengthening dis
couraged or dormant Oranges.
Growth is essential to life. It should
be the ambition Of our organization to
restore one by one. the lost state stars
to our Grange flag. This requires not
only the expenditure Of funds, but
sacrifice and loyalty on the part OF
all.
Fifty-one years ago the Grange de-
clared that there is no communism
and no agrarianism in our noble Or
der, but we seek tho greatest good to
the greatest number" Our ideals
have not changed during the years.
In the language of today, we would
declare that Bolshevism and Sovietism
shall not find a place Of Judgement on
the soil Of America. The Grange pro-
claims a patriotism that demands one
flag. and that our own Stars and
Stripes; one language, and that our
own English mother tongue; one re-
ligious ideal, and that freedom for
every individual to worship God IN &C
cordance with the dictates of his own
conscience.

not only keep the young folks on the
farm, but will hven up the farmer.
Jardine ran a course of instruction
in farming by radio and gave diplom-
as to the graduates. No one had ever
done that before. He was the only
president Of an agricultural college
who dared fight the Mc-Nary- Haul
gen bill which was based on the un-
economic plan of guaranteeing the
price of wheat, thereby making
further over production certain. He
let the world and the farmer know
just where he stood. He had not

/ ~ S1h 4he. Ava hOtiAAh6s
That Is why he was made Secre-
tary Of Agriculture. President Cool
idge likes men who speak their owr
minds. He came on to Washington
with q perfectly open mind, fancy
free, not caring particularly whether
he stayed or not, but determined to
say what he had to say while he was
there. His friends say he did not ex-
: pect to last six months when he took
the job.
A certain amount of housecleanins
was needed in the Department. That
is always the case when a new secre-
tary takes hold. Usually the unwant-
ed men are kissed out. Sometimes
better places are found for them
somewhere else. Jardine sent for

said. TIL do whatever can for you.

piles work and responsibility on
them. He learned that when he haul

ton has ever delegated authority so
freely. If the man makes good he is
| promoted or rewarded in some other
way. If he fails to make good he gets
out. The system Is a perfectly SIM
pie one and therefore not in use any
where else In Washington.
Doctor Jardine brought no ready
mixed panaceas into the Department
of Agriculture. His talk is all of
common sense, fair play and the
modernization of methods.-Eyery-

Christmas morning. Later they
would go to church and join in
singing the Christmas hymns.
That would be suitable to the day
to the holiday, holy day, joy.
But there was a time in between
"a time before when the children
had had their presents-While still
they were children, before they had
grown up or gone away. That
time would be curiously, outstand-
ingly empty.
No one talked about it. No one
said a word. But none of them
could quite bear to think Of that
Christmas present time when the
packages were opened, when there
was curious, eager excitement and
pleasure, delight in ones own gifts
and in the gifts of others.
No one said a word. No one
knew what each other was think
ing.
But early that morning one of
the members of the family down
by the mill telephoned the other
family and asked them to come
down early.
81 just fixed up one or two lit
tie things" said the one who had
telephoned, a little shyly, and to
her own family she said the same
They came. Every one gathered
about the old table that had been
brought out every Christmas. 1t
was shaky old table, but it some
how seemed to be part of Christ
mas. And in no time it was COW
cred with gifts. Every one had

presents for each other. And the

table groaned under its weight of
packages tied with gay old ribbons
and tissue paper as of yOre.
But we agreed we wouldn't give
any Christmas presents to each
other this year." they murmured
from time to time.
1--WE said we wouldn't have a
Christmas celebration now that we
were all grown up"
Christmas, we said, was entire
ly a day for children"
Yes, so they had said. But so
deeply was the Christmas celebra-
ton around the shaky old table,
before the big fireplace, rooted in
the heart of each that they couldn't,
in spite of their resolves, do any
differently.
81 think" one of them said when
every present had been opened,
simple, thoughtful little gifts and
surprises, that Christmas should
be for every one. No one is too
old to enjoy it."
And how proudly they said to
their friends as they met after
church:
"You must come in and see our
presents. We got lovely things.
Just what we wanted!"
