ever since it was organized, and on the

Successful Grange Interchange.
Members of Denmark grange of
Lewis county, N. V., are working out
a plan which is succeeding and which
gives variety to their literary pro
grammes. This grange is made up of
members from three villages. Caster
land, Deer lUver and Denmark. Oc
casionally these places take turns in
furnishing the grange programmes, and
this Is found to create enthusiasm
among the members and just enough
strife to make It interesting. At a re
cent meeting of Denmark grange the
members of Copenhagen grange fur
nished the literary programme, and
Denmark will return the compliment
for their next banquet. County Deputy
White believes that much good results
from this interchange of labor among
nearby granges and it has a tendency
to keep up a more lively Interest and
that members become better acquaint
ed with each other, lie also favors
the use of pCnted programmes.
