The grunge Held day or rally Is no where more successful than hi the busy grunge state of Michigan, and that success Is largely due to the ef forts of Past Muster Horton. In the last number of the stale lecturer's bul letin he answers some timely questions on tho subject. They are as follows: What are some of the essentials of success on the part or a committee on nrrangenients for a gruuge rally? First, an earnest, active desire to make the rally a success ns a strengh- ener and builder of grange sentiment in the vicinity where held; second, a fixed plan for program, advertising and nil essential details thoroughly prepared and executed; third, make the plan broad aud liberal so all farm ers will feel free to attend. Prepare for enjoyment as well as profit, but do not let side attractions Interfere with a deliberate rendition of the pro gram. Will you kindly give a few sugges 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 nature and character' as to turn the thoughts of all listeners toward the grange. Patrons should be on tho grounds early so as to meet and to reet nil arrivals, and especially stran gers need to bo shown about details ml plans for the day. The program hould be broad iu that, extra from the main sneaker, who will cover a eneral ground, the ladies, young peo- le and children may bo recognized. What are a few appropriate topics r Addresses or papers by local speak ers at llR'U rallies? Organization of farmers a necessity of the day. The grange Is the ideal form and plan of organization. The fanners unorganized are at the mercy of other organized Interests. Success en I he broader basis means social, Intellectual and business con tact, and organization gives it. The grange stands for all that Is progressive and Ideal in farm life. The grange creates Independence in the farmer man and woman, aud by their respecting themselves others re spect t heni. 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 grange Is Independent of all partisan polities and personal ambitious, and because of Monterey, Mex., Aug. 30. Twelve hundred persons drowned, 15,000 homeless and property damage to the extent of $12,000,000 la the result, of a flood that struck the city be tween 11 and 12 o'clock Saturday morning. Over 800 bodies have been recovered. Floods turned the small and peaceful Santa Catallna River into a dozen Niagaras. A veritable deluge of rain has swollen the river to a width of a mile and a-half, and It completely overflowed portions of the city. Tel egraphic communication Is crippled. The electric plant Is half under water, the clty'g streetcar service Is paralyzed and the water supply Is crippled. The inhabitants In the vicinity had barely time to flee for their live?. The onrush of the waters carried away their homes and chattels and In many cases drowned occupants of small huts used by natives. Condi tions are chaotic and the plazas are crowded with homeless natives. The scene In the flood-swept sec tion Is one of utter desolation. Four city blocks on the South Side have completely disappeared. For 72 hours rain has fallen in unprece dented volume throughout this sec tion and the Santa Catallna rose gradually all day Friday, the crest of the flood reaching Monterey early Saturday. Flood conditions extend as far south as Salttllo, although no great damage beyond Inconvenience to the citizens and minor damage to the roadbeds of the railroads Is re ported south of Monterey. It Is feared a pestilence will follow the flood. The poorer classes are hud dled by the thousands In churches, and hospitals. Monterey Is a city of approximate ly 70,000 population, located 180 miles south of Laredo, Tex. It is let in a valley between huge mountains.
