The Question Sox,
What Is tlic specific advantage to a
erio-.ge In becoming an Incorporated <jr
franlzation?
The advantage of grauge incorpora
tion Is that It gives the grange :i busi
ness standing, allowing it to buy, soli,
contract—ln fact, do business us an
Individual. The acts of Its purchasing
agent are binding r»n the grange treas
ury find not oa the members. If a
purchasing agent of a grange makes a
bargain, It may bo repudiated by an in
corporated grange anil he held re
i-oonslble, but If given authority by an
Incorporated grange the grange Is re
sponsible as far as Its .treasury goe#
and no further—that Is, there is no in
dividual liability.

TIME LEAKS IN THE GRANGE.
Some Suggestions That May Be Useful
to Grange Officers.
The Importance of utilizing time and
the extravagance of allowing it togo
to waste ure well stated by Jeunle
Ituell of Michigan, In which the fol
lowing reasons for time running to
waste ure stated:
When the grange is not called to or
der on time because some officer or
leading person is not present.
When the stewards distribute badges,
Bong books, etc., after the gavel has
fallen instead of before.
While the chorister selects songs
after they are called for.
While the secretary shuffles his pa
pers over or stops to write a receipt
after the order (if reading the minutes
is reached.
When a committee audits a bill or
passes upon an application for mem
bership after reports of committees
are called.
When business that might be refer
red. to committee Is transacted by the
grange, especially with prolonged dis
cussion.
When members speak upon questions
that have not been brought properly
before the grange by motion.
When a grange stands still while the
paraphernalia and decorations are
gathered and prepared for initiation.
When members are allowed to wan
der in discussion In the lecture hour.
When matters foreign to the time or
place are introduced and delay the
closing past the time fixed.
THE MICHIGAN WAY.
Crangn Deputies In Michigan and How
They Are Compensated.
The compensation of the grange dep
uties in Michigan is figured on a lib
eral basis Each grange pays the or-j
gauizing deputy S2O, of which sls goes
for the charter. Then by application
of a series of bounties, offered by the
state grange, if the organizing deputy
reports five granges lie receives $22 for
each, and in like increased proportion
for ten granges he will get S2O each.
Then there is a grand prize of SIOO to
any deputy who will organize and in
struct tweuty-tlve granges during the
year. And in order to increase their
efforts to get the full twenty-five the
deputies are given a repetition of the
prizes for the second ten granges. So
that for twenty granges they would
receive $520, and for twenty-five
granges, which would entitle them to
the grand prize of SIOO, they would
receive $720. The deputy must get in
ids charter list a sufficient number to
warrant taking the $5 of the money
from the charter members for his own
services. Thus it provides a safeguard
against a charter membership so small
as to make them weaklings. It is esti
mated that the charter list should not
be less than twenty-five In order to
warrant the taking of the five dollar
fee. This liberal payment of the depu
ties will account largely for the mark
ed increase in the number of granges
in Michigan during the past few years.
A Worthy Exhibit.
There have been numerous grange
exhibits at county fglrs this season,
and it. is a good sign. Perhaps one of
the most interesting of these was at
the Hudson fair, Columbia county,
when Lindenwald grange of Kinder
hook exhibited 301 varieties of fruits,
vegetables, grains, flowers, nuts and
canned fruits. They exhibited 50 va
rieties of apples, 10 of grapes, 12 of
pears. 2T of vegetables, JT ot doners
and 17 of canned fruits. This grange
won the first prize of $-10. German
town range exhibited 134 varieties, of
which <54 were apples, 2.S of pears and
22 of grapes, and won S3O. Chu crack
grange exhibited 07 varieties, among
which were 10 varieties of cucumbers,
14 of beets and 19 of beans. Living
ston grange had 'f7 varieties. These
two granges were awarded $lO each.
The Essay Exchange.
Two or three of the state lecturers
tit least have established recently what
Is called an "essay exchange." Es
says ou various topics suitable to be
read in grange meetings are written
and loaned to granges that may be in
need of such material. The idea Is a
good one, and yet the essay exchange
should not be allowed to take the place
of essays or papers written by mem
bers of the grange. However, the lat
ter may be consulted, and essays which
it furnishes may be occasionally used
to help out a programme where there
may be but few who feel themselves
qualified to prepare papers
A Vote For Direct Primaries.
tienesec (X. Y.) Pomona -range met
Oct. !) with an attendance of about
200. The subordinate granges of that
county reported a total membership of
2,270. The following resolution was
adopted: "Resolved, That we demand
direct voting at the primaries and here
by direct our delegates at the next
state grange meeting to do all in their
power to effect the passage of such a
law." The uext meeting will be held
at Batavia on Dec. 17.
Union grange at Plymouth, X 11.,
held Its first fair early lit October, it
was a great success, and it took rank
with the largest fairs in the state out
side the state fair and excelled them
in the department of working oxen and
In the exhibit of field corn. The show
ring of no other fair in New England
contained so many Devon cattle as
Was shown at this fair.
Short TalKs-qn *T 1
Advertisin o s»»i
No. 19.
People generally read ad\ ertisements more than they did a few years ago.
The reason is to be found in the advertisements themselves.
Advertisers are more careful than they used to be. They make tbe 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 xest and pleasure as they turn to
any other feature. .
This is true of many department stores all over
In many cities there is just one man who appre- P\(
ciates the value of such interest.
He breaks away from the old set style. He tells I VmSrZtre f
something interesting in his space every
There are lots of interesting things In 1
business. Look over the miscellany page of I
any paper—look at its local news columns, 1
and its telegraph news, for that matter, M I
and you'll see that tho majority of the Tsjjfc??, V
i'.ems are more or less closely related to 10
