| In every locality that has any kind
o. an organization for it's community
center, there are always to be found
few knockers whose fayorite
theme is that the thing is going to
die. Especially is this true of the
grange. They should have been at
the last meeting which was Lincoln
night" They would certainly con-
clude that they had better ser some
far future date for the demise, same
as tnOse poor deFuded souls who
were going to have a world cata-
clysm Feb g. These who are, con-
tinually sounding the death knell of
the grange, are sons and daughters
of the same folks who told us more
than 40 years ago that the grange
and the church would soon be a
thing of the past. We know them
well There were ten in the bunch
when We first heard of them, and
that was away back III the wilder
ness between Mt. Sinai and the
Promised Land. They with two
others We're sent on ahead as spies
to view the land OF Canaan, and
| brought in majority report which
proved false. They never became
lost, only to history, and away down
through the ages we get sight of
/ them again. They were in the crowd
that lined the banks of the Hudson
river when Robert Fulton was trying
out his little steamboat They said
, She'll never go" But when the
crude steam engine began to churn
and the walking beam began to os-
cillate and the paddle-wheels to
turn, and the Clermont started up
stream, this same bunch ran along
the shore with the crowd and yelled
"Fult, you'll never get her stopped
you'll never get her stopped, no-sir-
ee Bob you won't"
But, we wonder now if these
knockers" are not good thing af-
ter all, by inspiring the real workers
to redoubling of their effort and
zeal. Next night, Feb. 21, will be
Washington cherry pie night.
We regret to have to report the
serious illness of our old friend and
