A UNIFORM PROGRAMME.
CLACKAflAS COUNTY COURT.
Business Transacted at Regular Au
gust Term.
The Secretary of Michigan State
Grange Describe Thin Important
Feature of Grange Work.
Special Correspondence.
Sears ago the studies of one grade In
dty schools were made essentially uni
form with studies of the same grade
In all other schools. Later rural schools
adopted a similar basis of working to
gether. The Sunday schools caught
the spirit of co-operation and the in
ternational system of lessons was the
result. Another outcome of the desire
to advance In unison has been the
borne reading courses, which owe a
large share of their remarkable adop
tion and success to the fact that they
linked thousands all over the land to
gether In a common effort toward men
tal development.
This impulse to co-operate mentally
has now invaded the farmers' grange
and club programmes. From the outset,
thirty-five years ago, a "lecture hour"
was an essential part of a grange
meeting. This used to be occupied
with addresses by the lecturer and
others whom he Invited to take part,
and in miscellaneous exercises of an
entertaining and instructive character.
Gradually the need of definite knowl
edge of the opinion held by a majority
of the farming people on Important
measures touching national agricul
tural life led the lecturer of the na
tional grange to suggest quarterly a
topic for discussion In all local granges.
Then state granges realized that their
power would be wonderfully augment
ed if vital Issues In state affairs were
thoroughly gone over in every subor
dinate grange before the time came for
definite and final action on the part of
state granges. State topics were ac
cordingly sent out for careful study
and debate.
This plan enables national and state
granges to carry out the actually ex
pressed wishes of their constituents.
It secures also a far more impartial
and complete consideration of the most
practicable ways to help farmers than
did the hit and miss mode of lecture
work as formerly carried on by each
local grange alone. In Michigan the
plan of uniform topics for discussion in
local grange has been further extended
to embrace u textbook. A portion of
one programme each month is given to
a chapter of this book. Oi'ie year has
thus already been spent upon n book on
civics, another upon parliamentary
practice, and this year a work upon
practical ngriculturo is the basis of
study.
No grange is required to use these
topics and textbooks selected by the na
tional and state lecturers, but all are
requested to do so, and probably a ma
jority consider at least a part of them.
Ample provision is made in the pro
grammes for the inserting of local
questions and exercises adapted to the
needs of the community in which tho
grange Is. The results of this effort to
ward uniform programmes warrant its
continuance. Thinking and talking to
gether on the same subjects in thou
sands of country neighborhoods load to
conservative and forceful acting to
gether when tho right time comes. Be
sides, there is a stimulus to the indi
vidual in the consciousness that thou
sands of other people in similar situ
ations as himself are thinking of the
same subjects and striving to improvo
themselves by tho same means he is.

A YOUNG LADY'S LIFE SAVED.
At Panama, Columbia, by Chamberlain'
Collo, Cholera and Dlarhoea
Remedy.
Dr. Chares II. Utter, a prominent
physician, oi Panama, Colombia, in a
recent letter states: ''Last March I had
aa a patient a young lady sixteen years
of age, who had a very bad attack of
dysentery. Everything I prescribed for
her proved fetiectnal and the waa grow
ing worse every hour. Her parents were
lure she would die. She had become so
weak that she could not turn over in
bed. What to do at this critical mo
ment was a study for me, but I thought
ot Chamberiaiu Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last resort
prescribed it. The most wonderful re
utt was effected. Within eight houre
she was feeling much better; iniideof
three dai she waa upon her feet and at
the end of one week was entirely well."
