The Grange and State Falres,
The state board of agriculture of
Ohio has provided a fine hall for the
annual reunion of Ohlo Patrons, which
is held Wednesday and Thursday of
state fair week each year. There Is
much that state falr associations can
do for the grange, but it Is not so
much, by a good deal, as the grange
can do for the state fair in Ohlo or
anywhere else. Both may be co-op
erative to the advantage of both.
Christening of ua Dattleship.
Governor C. J. Bell of Vermont, who
is also master of the state grange, with
his daughter, was a guest of honor at
the christening of the new battleship
Vermont at Quincy, Mass, on Aug. 31.
Miss Bell was sponsor of the vessel
and broke a hottle of American wine
on Its sides ns it glided down the ways
and she gave the battleship its name,
