The grange Is shaking itself together
and is moving to the front. It is be
ginning to appreciate the magnitude of
Its responsibility, the largeness of Its
opportunity. It la doing things and
getting ready to do even greater
things.—American Grange Bulletin.
The three grand purposes of ths
grange are the social elevation, the ed
ucational advancement and the moral
Improvement of the farmer's family.
Michigan's state grange secretary re
ported at the annual meeting 579 work
Ing granges with 36,000 members. Ovei
fifty new granges have been organised
since.
Franklin and North Brookfleld (Maaa.]
granges were both officered throughout
by women last year.
BENEFITS OF CO-OPERATION
rumen Moat Unite For Their Om
Protection.
In this age of strenuous effort, when
men are bending every energy to win
' supremacy in every field of human ac
tivity, the chances of an individual to
' win success are correspondingly dimin
ished. To alleviate this difficulty and
to stimulate the efforts of many who
■ would succumb to this Intense compe
tition, acting Individually, the grange
by co-operation aids thfe individual to
achieve a success which he would not
be able to do acting alone. The inter
change of experience and the stimulat
ing influence of knowing that others
are Interested In your particular work
are some of the great benefits of co
operation among those engaged tn the
same work.
Another result of co-operative effort
through the grange has been the abil
ity of the farmer, through this organi
zation, to present a solid front to the
enemies of agriculture. When fraud
and deception became apparent In the
manufacture of spurious dairy prod
ucts, co-operative effort by the mem
bers of the grange placed upon our
statute books the oleomargerlne bill to
prevent this fraud upon the consumer.
When It became apparent that farmers
were being defrauded by different
firms which sold various kinds of cattle
feed which were adulterated, the unit
ed effort of the grange brought about
the passage of laws which have prac
tically stopped this fraud.
Prosperity and Republicanism.
We have more than doubled our pop
ulation since 1865, we have established
the greatest workshops In tho world,
We have endowed the old universities
with millions of dollars, and we have
built new colleges and schools and uni
versities by the score; we have laid
rMJroad tracks across the country to
the Pacific ocean, we have performed
.what would have been considered mir
acles forty years ago, and today the
United States Is acknowledged as OB«
of the great world powers, a nation
that Btands for peace and progress. AH
these things have come to pass undei
the administration of the nation's af
fairs by the Republican party. Pros
perity goes hand in band with Repub
lican policies, and small Is the mind
which seeks to deny or belittle the
grand fact that success has come and
that the continued welfare of the peo
ple depends entirely upon a Jealous
guard against assaults upon these prin
ciples that make for success. The Re
publican party 1s a party of creation,
but the Democratic party Is a party ol
negations and destruction.—Wilmington
(Del.) News.
Special Ormse Week.
The Pennsylvania state grange it Its
recent session recommended that a
"special grange week" be set apart in
February by the master of the state
grange and that every subordinate
grange in the state be urged to make
special effort during that ♦ime to In
crease Its membership. It Is a good
plan and worthy of general adoption.
' The title "lecturer" of a grange doea
not necessarily slcnlfy that he must be
lta best talker. '<* has other duties
of more importa than lecturing. He
has charge of 1 .< the literary and ed
ucational work of the grange, and his
position Is as responsible a one as tbs
master's.
