POMONA

Benton County Pomona Grange
met with the Hartford subordinates
last Saturday with good attend
ance both for the afternoon and
evening sessions. There were AZ
present when the Grange called
at 1920, which spoke well for the
interest at this time. The lecture
hour program in the evening was
quite varied and was thoroughly
enjoyed by everyone.
The Grange opened promptly
with Master Mclean in the chair
and with but three officers absent,
the assistant steward, Flora and
the lady assistant steward. Regu-
lar matter of business was taken
up and a resolution was presented
by Oscar Anderson of Vale Grange
dealing with revision of game
laws. This resolution is too long
to include in the regular resolu-
tions. This resolution was refer
red to the resolution committee
who acted upon it favorably and
it was voted upon favorably during
the evening session.
Mrs. Joyce, Pomona Lecturer,
presented suggestion for develop
ing visiting program from
Grange to Grange with definite
score card for scoring of each of
the Oranges. This suggestion was
very well thought of by those
present and a motion was made
that a committee be appointed to
take the matter under considera-
ton. The following committee was
appointed: Mrs. Harriet Joyce,
Mrs. j. R. Ayers, Mrs. j. Swayze.
This committee met during the af-
ternoon and early evening and pre-
sented a definite program to the
Grange for its consideration and
this then is to be passed on to the
subordinates and the entire mat
ter taken up for final decision in

Mrs. Lester Stops Of the Vale
Grange brought the question Of
base ball league among the differ
emit Oranges Of the county. This
matter was referred to committee
consisting Of Mr.. Stops, Mr.. Root
and Willard Campbell Of Kenne-
wick. A special attempt will be
made to develop a team in all the
Oranges as far as this is possible
this year.
Report Of the Oranges were
made with the exception of Horse
Heaven, Mr.. Case making the re-
port for Whitstran. Activity in
most of the Oranges is being car
ried on according to schedule and
practically all Of the Oranges are
showing steady growth and con-
siderable interest. It was quite ap-
