INFLUENCE OF THE GRANGE

ita (hr P'ariBtBM ll.u Wllk KalraaM.

Ivocn the irrniiKv n* an oncanlsatloo wlekt the Influence !t ou*ht In public matter*? In answer to thla queatlon I would »ui.r that the recommendatlona of the New York atate jrran^e are Intere«tliiK themea for dlocusalon. and there nr\* a \-ery large number of per sous througho«it the atate and partleularfy In the cities who wlH take exactly the oppoalte view from that which the grange has adopted with regard to some of thewe qucatlona. Nerertbelexs It is to be said that the opinion of the grange In allinattera affecting or affected by legislation la entitled to serious consideration Csom ererybody who wanta to know the sentiment of the agriciiltnrtata. The grange U a fair representative of a large part of the forming population. and the aentlments of the farming population tn New York state are more likely to be echoed In the enactment of laws and In the defeat of proposed laws than the aentlments of any trade, business or profession. The ease may be put more strongly. New York and Buffalo alone contain more than half the population of the state, but nevertheless It remains true that an Idea strongly and generally held by the farming population of the atate finds expression In legislation much more readily than an Idea held with the same degree of vigor and unanimity. If that were possible, in all the large cities of the state. That is why the opinions expressed by the grange at Its annual meetings demand atten-

tion from the public.

The grange la not the entire fanning element of the state, bnt by examining what the grange thinks about public affairs the public are able to gather valuable data regarding the opinions of that great and powerful body of Amec's ns, the farmer* of the Empire State. The grange is the only organisation that ever did the farmer any good and bis family any good, and we owe It to ourselves as well as the vast number who are being benefited to give our beet efforts to promote the |Fare of the order, that It will go 00 sing In membership, knowledge"

i i. exert oar energies not for seif- — Cieflre*. bat for the' uplifting of mankind, and tn so doing we will bring credit and honor to oar occupation and at the same time wield a greater Influence tn legislative halls.—Mrs. E. D. Prank.

WOMAN’S WORK. r Should Be Pallr Ap-

Tbe work of the woman’s work committee In the grange la not as well understood as It ought to be. The woman’s work committee of the New York state grange prepnres and sends out to subordinate granges programmes for the festival day* of the grange. Each subordinate grange should have a similar committee to work In conjunction with the lecturer In carrying out the programme* sent by the woman’s work committee or In preparing new ones or In doing both. Not only In this work is there room for such a committee, but also in the direction of social functions of the grange la there work for It. indeed. the work that woman does In the grange is of so great Importance that a special recognition of the essential part It plays In the prosperity of the Order la projier. The work falling to, the woman's work committee will make It the most Important committee • in the grange. Urge upon your grange the Immediate appointment of socb a committee if there la not-one now.— State Lecturer Shepard.

the importance of laying special stress upon the work of the subordinate grange and Ita members. This work U not Mas important because It la teas In the public .eye din the work of the state grange. Perhaps It is less In the Public eye, bnt it counts Her more la the very heart of the mission of the
