DEDICATION OF HOMES
The New Ceremony Introduced
Into New Hampshire.
The Home of the Pr-: Irient of the New
Hampshire State Board of
ture and Treasurer of the S'.ate
Grange Selected For First Honors.
, [Special Correspondence.]
One of tho late events in grange cir
cles in New Hampshire was tho tirsi
use of the new ceremony for dedicnt
lng the rural home, the ritual for
1 which was written ami presented to
llio national grange, or the Order of
I'atrons of Husbandry, by Mortimer
, Whitehead of New Jersey, past lec
turer of the national grange, and which
was formally adopted by that'body at
Its session last November. The work
was performed by a "team" from the
eastern New Hampshire Pomona
grange, being committed to memory
George tt. Drake, secretary of the state
grange, acted as director.
The L'omona grange lirst met in res
ular soislon with one of the largest
attendances in its twenty-live years'
history, as 3yo sat down to the sump
-1 tuous <iinner. The home dedicated,
which is named Hill Top Farm, wa«
that of Joseph IX Roberts, president o
the state hoard of agriculture and
treasurer of the state grange. It is a
| farm of 400 acres devoted ti> dairying
aud fruit growing and has been in tho
Roberts family for several generations
The t eremony was smoothly and
impressively rendered, and it was uni
versally commended. Nearly all the
otßcers of the stale grunge and the
head P? Irons of the state were pv< ->
ent. State Master Herbert O. Had ley
gave au able address on "Our Homes.'
The universally high praise with
which this beautiful home dedication
i ceremony has been received by tin
Order everywhere promises Its right
to live, uud a hundred years from no"
and as long as the grange stands an !
rural homes are to be built up. beat'.-
tided and protected in our land of
homes It will be a monument to tl;
lifelong devotion and work of Morii
mer Whitehead in assisting in bulhilnr;
the grange and to his efforts for tho
higher and brighter life of the farm.
