A true copy of the Joint Resolution ROBERT McAKEE. Secretary of the Commonwealth, THE GRANGE| i Conducted by J. W. DAKROW. Chatham. N. Y.. Prat Correspondent Xtw Fork State Grange THE SUMMER RALLIES. Past State Master Horton of Michigan Glvas Some Excellent Suggestions. The grange field day or rally is no where more successful tlinn in the busy grange stale of .Michigan, and that success is largely due to the ef forts of Past Master Horton. Iti (lie last uumber of tlie i le lecturer's but- i letin lie answers some timely questions j on the subject. They are as follows": j What are some of the essentials of i success on the part of a committee on j arrangements fur a grange rally? First, an earnest, active desire tc j make tlie rally a success as a strengh- J ener and builder of grange sentiment in the vicinity where held; second, a fixed plan for program, advertising and all essential details thoroughly prepared and executed; third, make (he plan broad and liberal so all farm ers will feel free to attend. Prepare for enjoyment as well as prolit, but do not let side attractions interfere with a deliberate rendition of the pro gram. Will you kindly give a few sagges tions to lecturers In making up a pro gram for a rally? So far as possible have all subjects, speeches, recitations and songs of such a nature and character as to turn the thoughts of all listeners toward the | grange. Patrons should be on the grounds early so as to meet antl to greet all arrivals, and especially stran gers need to be shown about details and plans for the day. The program should be broad in that, extra from j j the main speaker, who will cover a ! general ground, the ladies, young poo I pie and children may be recognized. What are a few appropriate topics for addresses or papers by local speak ers at 1900 rallies? Organization of farmers a necessity I ; of the day. The grange Is the Ideal form and I plan of organization. The farmers unorganized are at the j mercy of other organized Interests, i Success on the broader basis meaui; ; social. Intellectual and business eon ' tact, and organization gives it. I The grange stands for all that Is : , progressive and Ideal in farm life. The grange creates independence in the farmer man and woman, and by their respecting themselves others spect them. Will you give a few pertinent point ers for state speakers to observe? Keep in mind that a rally is a grange occasion and as such is worthy of thorough preparation. The grar -> is , Independent of all partisan politic* and j personal ambitions, and because of this a rally speaker should studiously avoid all these lest his Influence will be adverse to the real cause he repre sents. He earnest in presenting the grange cause, for In no other way can the confidence of hearers be secured. Do not be timid in urging benefits of farmers, for. as agriculture prospers, so do all others Interests, and this can not be truthfully said of any other in terest. _ G. ,B. HORTON.
