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
