I'd., vrhkh is the first of itf. kind mid deserves more than r.-asi:a ! attention. It was the meetiug fort!..- org. '.ligation of what has been styled as t; o Grange National HanU er;.' Association of America. Its ob ject i to extend the system of grange national hanks which has been so sue < osf'til in Pennsylvania to other states in ttu Union where the grange is or ganized There are now fourteen grang-- banks in Pennsylvania, nntl they vent seventy-five representatives to the Wiliinmsport meeting. John C. .M. i'.i ~ry of Benton was elected presi dent i-t the association and K. U Dor • i.i of Mansfield was elected secretary. Mr McHfury said that thus far they haw :n fourteen banks a total uumber oi 2.1-0 stockholders, I«JT> directors and I .!>:■ .".'f. wlili SBC2,yyO of money (a veste;'.. and iu every Instance the hold ing cmtrol of these organizations lies entirely with grange Patrons. He also renivtrked that the movement is not autag-.nistic to other banking Institu tion.- and that this in true Is shov/u from the fact that while the deposits have exceeded their expectations yet the older banks hare iikewise met with a <'.-outinuous growth In deposits. This may seem strange, but it seems to imli t-i'.te. says i:ie Kiuancial Age. that the farrn'Mg eoinmunlty had been averse to depo:-iling 'i.oney lu banks and has ):ixlng these fund? from their bid ing places a beuetit national in Its character v, ill he accomplished. Massachusetts Auto Lews, -At the annual meeting of the Massa ehusette state grange to be held at l'ittsfieid In December the automobile law... of the state will be up for discus felon. Sous tor Morse of Belchertown, a member of the grange, believes that there is a feat dea! of misunderstand ing betv .1 tt."«ie who ride In uutos aud the ~.. 'CIS, uud he proposes that the -rrnr-T' onolnt a committee of ten or twel\ j confer with a like com mittee from the State Automobile as r.oclatlon and see if some form of law saiNfaetory to both can be drawn up. and if this can he done a petition will be presented to the Massachusetts leg islature in January asking for legisla tion. Senator Morse thinks there till >uld be no difficulty In getting a law eer.cted thai will be satisfactory to I -jib If the parties can unite lu their viu'ws as to what should lie done. | " NATIONAL GRANGE. ! Xrinua! Ac'dres"? of Worth/ Maittr Er.chelder—Total Asset* of the Or ganization Now Amount to $102,921. ' In Ills Address to the national grange at Us opening sesslou In Hartford, | i onti.. on Nov. 13 National Master N. ' ,1. Pacheider said that the membership >t" the grange throughout the country ■ ! is made u not Increase of 8 per cent i ;jr the past year. which Is larger than l.ir over thirty years past. The finau i iul condition of the Order lis good. 1 iiit- tola! assets of the na.lonal grange a year ago were $84,071 '.>4 iiud on Oct. 1. l:V)T. 5102.b21.44, which let a net gaiu of v5,240.50. Although lite work of >rgii»lzatlou has been more than usu . tuiy successful, the Order should be ; still further built up in the states of • the central west. B:>eiklnij of the importance of agri culture, tbe national master said that the whole total volume of the crops may lie slightly less than the crops of lltO'l. but their cash farm value will l>e ' greater. The farm products in their ' original form or in the form of cattle, I sheep, hogs and horses hnre overflowed the great granaries, clogged transpor ; cat'nu facilities and brought gold from ! foreign countries. These facts warrant i the statement that agriculture is not only the groat industry of the country. ' but the most important In the nation's industrial prosperity. Agriculture pros ! pert; uot because other industries pros ; per, but other industries prosper be | cause agriculture prospers. The pro i motion of agriculture embodies the ! highest type of statesmanship. It is , eminently proper to luqulre the effect jof all proposed public policies upon ■ agriculture when under consideration j in any legislative body i Ou the subject of grange mutual life ; insurance the worthy master had thin ; lo say: "There has been a demand for j several years for some form of frater -1 mil life Insurance within the orgauixa l Lion to cover the national field as lwcal I companies cover certain am tes. Sound. ! reliable, full legit! reserve life lnsur- I uiee furnished by a society and eon j trolled by lis own members, operated | in the fraternal system, with the offl j -(• rs directly responsible to the uieni j bers, Is the foundation to build upon. I What is wanted Is the best at tbe I obea(>est price—not cheap life lusur i since, but good life insurance cheap." | Concerning tbe publication of the na i tiouai grange paper the speaker re i marked that the executive committee : bad mude arrangements for tbe pub- I licatlou of u weekly Journal upon \ terms acceptable to the masters of the j state granges. He emphasized the fact i that Its publication will not come lu competition with agricultural papers Its editorial policy will he dictated solely by n desire to promote the or ganization. it is to be the official or gan of the grange. Of the denatured alcohol law, which took effect Jan. 1, ll>o7, the national master eald that tbe comparatively smalt consumption of denatured alea bo! during the past six months had beeu chiefly due to the faot that our manufacturers were not ready to fur nish the alcohol using apparatus, such as stoves, lamps, etc. None being on 1 sale in this country, there was no de ! maud for the alcohol. The question of utilizing alcohol as a fuel for motor vehicles, boats and farm engines i« engaging the attention of manufacture ers, and it Is believed that this alcohol will 1« made available for use as a motor fuel iu the near future. On federal aid for the improvement of public highways the speaker said that the grange bad inaugurated a campaign of education having for its object the enactment of legislation by congress providing for a federal appro priation of $50,000,000, to be divfcled lut- • vr» annual appropriation* of $lO, 000, e i.to be expended for the Improvement of public highways. The legislative committee has given close attention to this work and believes that the time has arrived when the move ment should lx- prosecuted vigorously with the view of securing legislation at the present session of congress. Oti trusts and the tariff it was re marked that the prcaent tariff rates on anlrles produced by trusts are much tilgbtr than is ueeest>ary to cover the difference In labor cost as between h"i:.e and foreign manufacturers awl that material reductions could be made uti .lit? duty ol' such articles aad amply provide for libeial wages compared wiili the wages abroad. If these crltl cls..t» are well founded there would u to be good reasons for legislation tiiat will correct the evident defects on the present tariff schedules without In juriously affecting our agricultural or manufacturing Industries. These facts can best bo secured through a uon partisan tariff commission whose duty It shall be to examine carefully Into al) phases of the subject. This commit si on should Include representative*) of the agricultural, labor, manufacturing, transpcitation and commercial later est.?. On the parcels post question tbe na tlonal master remarked that the postal reform had received a new impetus within the past few mouths, owing to the fact that it bad a powerful advo rate lu the new postmaster general. Mr. Meyer, who bad Indorsed what to all Intents and purposes la the grange plan and who la using his Influence to aronw public interest In ita support. He advised an active campaign In con-. grevs on this subject. Ttts address also favored postal sav ! logH banks, currency reform and pure ! food legislation. | Pennsylvania granges went to the national grange in special cars, start j Ing from tlarrlsburg. They spent a night In New York on the way. The Initial number of the national ■ grange organ was a very creditable one. 3. W. DJLRBOW.
