Members of the Grange in all parts of the United States are in- terested in the fact that decision has just been made to hold the 69th annual convention of the Na- tional Grange in the city of Sacra- mento, California, the dates being November 1921 next. Sacramento offers exceptional facilities for the holding of large convention, as 1t has a beautiful new municipal auditorium, perfectly equipped, while the hotel accommodations of California's capital city are unex- celled.
 Already Grange members in the eastern section of the country are contemplating coast-to-coast trip, following the same plan which car- ried large delegation to the Paci- flc coast whenever the National Grange has held its annual session in that part of the country. In 1921 at Portland, Oregon, 1925 at Sacra- mento, 1929 at Seattle and 1883 at Boise, Idaho. large eastern delega- tions were present and the Califor- mia experience of 1925 is so pleas antly remembered as to constitute a decided attraction for the com ing November.
