BABRCW, Chatham, M Y„ ij Press Correspondent iVw York State i STATE LECTURERS' WORK, j Model Systsm In Vogue In Massachu setts State Grange. The advantages of putting grange v, irk upon a thoroughly systematic basis, so that exactly what Is being oca.e can be ]>ositively known and defi nitely recorded, ij showu in Massa eliasetis, where the state lecturer, diaries M. Gardner of AVestfield, has ix> systematized the work done during tin- lecture hour that at the end of the year a conplete total can be drawn off "tly as the large business concern draws off its annual balauco sheet for the inspection of its stockholders. This result is made possible by a carefully prepared report system whereby every subordinate and Po mona lecturer in the state sends to the slate lecturer once lu three months a <•<>•;:,ilete summary of all lecture hour v. lie in that grar;;e, how ninny people helped do it and how many persons Li Hided the meetings. At the end of the year the entire work of each ge in the state is summarized and rh' ■.non a large chart that is ex l.iblted at the annual state meeting. s»>* this system the astounding fact tva i brought out .of last year's work that over 40,000 persons had contribut ed aumething to the lecture hour pro grammes iu Massachusetts and that ih.' total grange audience of tiie year was 245,000 persons. This system affords more than a mere record of re. aits. It provides ilie means of comparison one year with an other; it. furnishes every three months a .di rect idea of how each grange is getting along, whether holding its own or ; t; it also gives the local lecturer added reason for urging his members to <.!•> their best in order that that i grange shai! make the best possible j s.liowing on the year's chart at the j .■ late meeting A record is also kept j of the leading topics discussed during j the year, and this also is presented to j :he state meeting to show along what j .'lues grange thought is being especial- j ly directed, while the distinct grange j efforts iu behalf of tow n improvement,! good citizenship, better schools and j oth . matters of eivic betterment are | caret"ally recorded. Few people realize the power of the grange organization or the influence tL.:it ii, is exerting along such n variety of important lines every year. Such a system as that lu vogue in Massa chusetts, which puts into actual and easily understood figures the total work done in a state during a year, al is greatly iu bringing a realization . 112 lb- magnitude of the work and In fluence of the Order not merely to those not identified with it. but even to its own members who do not always ap preciate the scope and power of the Order of which they are a part. GRANGE CO-OPERATION. A Profitable Business Enterprise at Vineland, N. J. Ineland grange of New Jersey, in connection with the Farmers' Flub and Fruit Growers' union, formed an ;o .iatlon about six years ago under the name of the Grange Co-operative society. Nine directors were chosen .i • a board of managers. Persons be came members by buying stock at J." per share, but two-thirds of the mem ber:' must be Patrons. In July, 1004, a grange store was opened, which car ried a full line of groceries, feed, etc. The co-operative plan provided for the payment of S per cent on each stock holder's interest In the concern at the end of the year; also such a percent age on all goods he had purchased as lis ~les would allow alter p.tying the expenses. All sales must be for cash. The business amounts now to over i.'io. JO a year. Last April the store building v.-as burned, as d a new one i' new be in r erected. This wiii ion tain a granite hall with all modern improvements. Tha membership of tliis- flourishing erange i< ;si:4. It has boc; me one of the most popular so cieties In Vineland.

Prtsi CorrespoiuUnt Acw York State I 5 Graves THE GRANGE NAME, ! i Influential Factor in Business and Legislation. [ National Master Bachelder's Warning to Those Who Would Benefit by the Grange Name In Enterprises Outside the Grange. In Ills department In the National Grange Organ iu a recent number Na tional Master Bachelder remarks that ai the grange is fast becoming an In fluential factor In social, educational and financial affairs nnd also in legis lative affairs, both state and national, the fair name of our organization must be protected. There is and will con tinue to be, he says, great effort made b.\ people with wares to sell and leg islative matters to promote to in some way use the word grange in the name adopted to designate their business or scheme in order to deceive the people and draw support to the enterprises by causing them to be known as gtnnge enterprises. There is absolute ly no justification for this uuless the grange or some committee appoiuted by the grange has absolute authority iu the management. To be more specific, we may say that an agricultural fair should not be known as a grange fair unless its man agement is in the hands of the grange or has been specifically indorsed by the grange having jurisdiction. A store should not be known as a grauge store unless conducted by the grange or giving special rates to members of the grange through grange authority. A paper has no real authority for the use of the word grange iu its title uu less its policy is directed by the or ganization, but grange departments iu papers designed for other fields do not come within this restriction, for they J simply contain grange news and do | not carry any policy or responsibility ! of the grange. The use of the word grange in the title of banks without a ! controlling interest in such banks be- J lng in the hands of directors chosen j j by the grange, whereby special prlv- j I ileges would be secured to members ! I of the grange, is an unauthorized aud j I improper use of the fair name of the j j grange. j Other instances might be cited in I i which wrong impressions are convey- | | ed and the name of the grange placed j | in great jeopardy by the use of its I j name. Iu a word, the name of our or- j j ganization should be restricted by ac- I tion of the national grange to such | ! enterprises as at least have their poll- \ cies dictated and their affairs directed i by members of the grange iu some of- j fieial capacity, for any other course In ; case ot disaster would bring much j odium upon us, even though we have | no opportunity to prevent such disas- i ter. We do not undertake to say that j an agricultural fair, store, paper or | bank using the name grange In its j title should necessarily be financed by j the organization, but we do most em- | phatlcally assert that the use of the name carries with it or should carry j with It the authority to dictate the pol- j ley and direct its general management. ■ Thanksgiving Programme. The following programme is taken | from the Michigan State Grange Lec turers' Bulletin and is a good one to use jit the approaching thanksgiving season: THANKSGIVING SPECIAL. "The best Thanksgiving Is thanks liv- j lng." Bong—"Nearer, My tiod, to Thee." Roll Call—Bible quotations Reading— Proclamation of governor Recitation—Pen picture of the first Thanksgiving day. Reading "Thanksgiving," by Phoebe Cary. Song— "Reulah Land." Knapsack Reading—"The Pumpkin," by Whittler. j Paper—"History of Thanksgiving Hay." | Recitation—"The Story of Thanksglv- j lng." Bhort Talks— What has our grange to j be thankful for? Song—"The Sweet By and By." A Granger a Hundred Years Old. A notable event which took place at Oxford, Mich., last month was the eel- i ebratlou of the one hundredth atinl versary of the birth of Aunt Charity Stevens, a charter member of Oxford grange. Over 1.000 people assembled to pay tribute to the venerated sister. Congressman Smith was one of the speakers on the occasion aud recount- I ed events that had taken place during j Mrs. Stevens' long life, which covered i the administration of tweuty-four of : our twenty-six presidents. _ I The Work In Connecticut. State Master 1.. 11. Ileal.v say# that | the grange work In Connecticut since | Jan. I has been on the "jump." Ten ( granges have been reorganized atid i four new ones organized, with a total | increase of membership of about 1.200. ( Special work in that state has been • along the lines of co-operation, and a j committee has been appointed to in- | ! vestigate the subject in all its details. ' I The field meetings are reported as the | i most successful ever held. i l New Hampshire grange recently | tried to determine "the value of a < kicker in the world's progress." T'icre l Is more to that question than would ! appear on the surface. Oilman grange of Exeter, N. 11., ob- I served its thirty-fifth anniversary on j Oct. 5. An address was given by Na tional Master Bachelder. [" Short Talks on , j| Advertksind <sJj No. 10. j People generally read advertisements more than tbey did a few years ago. The reason is to be found in the advertisements themselves. Advertisers are more careful than they ujed to be. They make the advertise ments more readable. Some of them even become, in a way, a department of the paper, and people look for them > every day with as much zest and pleasure as they taru to any other feature. This is true of many department stores all over „ the country.
