National Most r 3acheid«r's Warning to Those Who Would Benefit by the Grange Name In Enterprises Outside tiio Grange. In his department In the National Grange Organ in a recent number Na tional Master Bachekler remarks tliat ns the grange is last becoming an in lluentlal factor in social, educational uud financial affairs and also in legis lative affairs, both state and national, tliv .'air name of our organization must be protected. There is and will con tinue to be, be says, great effort made by people with wares to sell and leg- Isi.nlve mailers to promote to in some way use the word grange in the name adapted to designate their business or .'••l.ii.ie iu order to deceive the people and draw support to the enterprises by causing them to be known as g'-;:i:ge enterprises. There is absolute ly no justification for this unless the grange or some committee appointed by ihe grange has absolute authority in the mausgement. To be mofe specific, we may say thai .;n agricultural fair should not be known as a grange fair unless its inau ai-eim-nt is in the hands of the grange or la i bee a specifically indorsed by Ihe grange having jurisdiction. A store should not be known as a grange store unless conducted by the grange or giving special rales to members of the grange through grange authority. A paper has no real authority for the use of the word grange in it:s title un less its policy is directed by the or ganization, but grange departments in j a pets designed for other fields uo not com-' within I his restriction, for they simply coiuain grange news and do not tarry any policy or responsibility of tii;' grange. The use of the word grange in t ie title of banks without a colli riling interest in such banks be ing i; the hands of directors chosen by tii.- gra.ige, whereby spc ial priv ileges would be secured to members of 11." grange, is an unauthorized and impi'i er use of the fair name of the grange. Oth r lustanees might be cite<l iu which wrong impressions are convey ed in.-! the name of the grange placed iu givat jeopardy by the use, of Its numr in « word. J-'ue .name of our or ganic- 'ion should be restricted by ac tion of the national grange lo such eniei'i rises us at least i :.ve their poii • ,'ies dictated and their affairs directed by 'i. nbei :.• of the grange In some tf ti' ial capacity, for any other course In case of disaster would bring much odium upon us, ereu though we ha\e no opportunity to prevent such disas ter. \Ve do not undertake to say ih it an agricultural fair, store, paper or bank using the name grange in iis liiie should uecessarily be financed by the organization, but we do most em phatically : ert that the use of the nntnc arri« v with It or should carry with It the authority to dictate the pul i-y • | .\i direct its general management.

Healy says that the grange work In Connecticut since •lan. 1 has been on the "jump." Ten gr.-in.grs have been reorganized and four new ones organized, with a total Increase of membership of about 1,200. Sp; lal work In that state has been along the lines of co-operation, and a committee has been appointed to In vestigate the subject In all lis details. Th ■ field meetings are reported as the in it su'-cf:-;fti! ever held. N'ew Hampshire grange recently tried to determine "the value of a kicker In the world's progress." There more to that question than would pear on t!ie surface. HI mo n grange of Exeter, N. 11., ob :-.rved its thirty-fifth anniversary on i ict. K.

Correspondent New York State I Granae | THENATIONALGBANGE Forty-Socond Annual Meeting to Be Held In Washington. A New England Excursion Being Ar ranged—Secretary Freeman Reports 302 New Granges Organized and Fif ty-one Reorganized the Past Year. The national grange meeting will be held at Washington, Nov. 11-20. It has been a good many years since the na tional grange met at the Capital City, an.l the prospects now are that there will be a large attendance of members of the Order at the forthcoming ses sion in Washington In November. The New England I*atrons are organizing a special excursion for that occasion, and many others will also attend from the nearby grange states. Ileadquar- Tilli WHITE HOUSE. ters will be at the National hotel, a historic old building, and we believe thrt the sessions of the grange will be held In the large hall In the hotel. While there will be no election of otli eers, except one national commit tee man, there will be other important Items Of business to be transacted which will be of very considerable in terest to the organization. There should be a very large seventh degree class on this occasion, and for the In formation of those who may not have taken the sixth degree it may be stated that that degree will bexonferred In full form in order to prepare those who take it for the highest degree. National Secretary Freeman reports a large number of new granges the past year. Progress has been notable In nearly every state and particularly in some of tli n western and northwestern states. Besides the session of the granges, the many attractions of the Capital City make the visit at this Mtue of general interest. It is probable that I'r sident Jioosevelt will receive the delegates and visiting Patrons on some day during the session. While there are numerous places of j Interest to be visited In Washington— the Congressional library, Corcoran Art gallery rv'asbington monument, The capitol, bureau of printing and en graving an 1 several department build ings—yet no vWit to Washington would be quite complete without a trip to Mount Vernon and the tomb of Wash ington. Mount Vernon lies about six teen miles south of Washington and may be reached by trolley or steamer down the Potomac, the latter bein;; the most desirable approach to this MOUNT VEIIKON. historic place. We give herewith ail illustration of Washington's home and also a picture of the White ljjiuse. At the forthcoming meeting of the national grange Secretary C. M. Tree man will report the granges organized and reorganized from Oct. l, 1907, to Oct. 1, ISIOS, as follows: ORGANIZED. California 3 New Hampshire. 2 Colorado 3 New Jersey 112.

Under the efficient leadership ot ; State Master G. W. Pierce the grange i in Vermont is growing rapidly. Not ; only is the total membership increas i tng, but the subordinate granges are | aiso growing iu numbers. If you are carrying grange fire In surance, see that your dues are paid up That's a condition of your policy. The grange discourages litigation. It ' acquaints the farmer with the fellow ; on the other side of the line fence. New Hampshire state grange will meet at Portsmouth on Dec Ir>-17. Grangers' farms should be the model (arms of the town. Are they? Short Talks-on , Adyertisino » No. 19. People generally read advertisements 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 the advertise ments more readable.
