GRANGE INCORPORATION.
Extract From a Special Act Passed by
the New York Legislature In 1874.
There is considerable Inquiry among
members of the Order us to the effect
of incorporating a grange and how to
proceed in the matter. The following
extract from the law governing this
Incorporation of granges will be of as
sistance only to such granges as are
located within New York state, since
it is a special act of the New York
state legislature.
Any number of persons, not less than
thirteen or more than forty, eligible
to membership under the provisions of
the constitution, bylaws, rules and
usages of the said Order of Patrons of
Husbandry, as Indorsed and promul
gated by said New York state grunge,
may organize a subordinate grange in
accordance with said constitution, by
laws and usages, and on receiving a
charter issued by said New York state
grange or countersigned by its secre
tary any subordinate grange so organ
ized may file articles of incorporation
with the town clerk of the town where
it is located, duly signed and acknowl
edged by its members or a majority of
them, stating the name and number of
the grange, the names of its oliicers
and executive committee and signify
ing a desire to obtain the benefits of
this act. And on filing such articles of
incorporation every such subordinate
grange shall become a legal corpora
tion, subordinate to the said New York
state grange, and shall possess nil the
powers and be subject to all the du
ties of corporations under the general
laws of this state and under the con
stitution, bylaws and rules of said
New York state grange, and may take,
hold, sell and convey property, real
and personal, and shall have and use
a seal and may alter and renew the
same at pleasure. Hut the total net
Income from the real estate held by
any such grange shall not exceed SSOO
in any one year.
Any number of subordinate granges
may unite in the formation of county
or district granges under the constitu
tion, bylaws and rules of the said Or
der us adopted and promulgated by
said state grange, and after receiving
a charter from the state grange the
members or a majority of the mem
bers of such county or distvict grange
or councils may make and execute ar
ticles of incorporation in the manner
provided for subordinate granges and
file them in the office or offices of the
clerk or clerks of the county or coun
ties embraced within their jurisdiction
and shall thereupon be and become a
corporation with authority to sue and
lie sued and shall have and use a seal
and may alter or renew the same at
pleasure and shall have and exercise
all powers not in conflict with the pro
visions of this act or any other of the
laws of the state of New York or the
constitution, bylaws, rules or usages
established or promulgated by the su'ul
New York stnte grange and which
shall lie necessary for the purpose of
facilitating the transactions of btisi
ness, buying, selling and shining or
such other purposes as may seem for
the good of the Order. They shall be
governed and the membership regulat
ed by such laws as the council or
grange may from time to time make
not in conflict with the constitution of
the national or state granges. They
may elect a business agent to act in
concert with the executive committee,
and it will be their duty to inform the
master of any irregularities practiced
by deputies within their jurisdiction
and shall be tin intermediate organiza
tion between the state and subordinate
granges. •
THE WEAK SPOT.
The Lecturer's Program Is the Im
portant Thing.
[Special Correspondence.]
The weak spot In the grange and
grange work today, if there be one, is
the lack of appreciation among its
members and by the general public of
its great achievements and its greater
possibilities.
So great, so prominent and so entire
ly satisfying are its fraternal and so
cial features that the members often
look upon it as a pleasure enterprise
and are content in knowing that they
are enrolled In one of the greatest.if
not tlie greatest fraternul organizations,
of the present time, and accept the
pleasures of membership without sulli
cient thought as to what that mem
bership means, and thus also the pub
lic looks upon it from the same view
point. This feeling is often intensi
fied by the lecturer sent out by the
state grange, who in his desire to be
entertaining spends his effort in a
pleasing or witty address, which,
pleasant to hear, does not fill the
minds of his hearers with a knowl
edge of or a desire to advance the
great moral, intellectual and patriotic
principles for which the grange really
stands; hence the greatest weakness
of the grange is in the program either
of the local lecturer or the state officer
or representative that It does not con
tain enough solid matter, enough of
uplift, enough of what makes the
farmer a greater student, a better
neighbor, a more patriotic citizen.
Grange members should realize and
the public should know that no organ
isation has so written itself into the
best history of our country as the
grange. This should not be satisfying,
but an incentive to greater accomplish
ments which He within the present
and future opportunities of our order.
W. N. GILES,
Secretary New York State Grange.
The Editor of a leading Dakoli.
paper says:"lt if reported that on*
of the fastidious uewly married lad
ies of this town kneads bread with
her gloves on. This incident might
be somemhat peculiar—but there
are others.
The editor of this paper needs
bread with his shoes on; he needs
bread with his shirt on; he heeds
bread with his pants on; and unless
some of the delinquent subscribers of
this "Old ling of Freedom' pony up
before long, we will need bread
without a darn thing on, and North
Dakota is no Garden of Eden in the
winter time."
