Three things which are moat lnfiuen tlal In making persons safe member! of society are a true sense of responsl btllty, a Just sense of value and a wholesome self respect These can only be acquired through organised effort Our connection with thia Order by a true understanding and proper appli cation of Us principles will accomplish thia Whenever and wherever we find a subordi nate grange carefully study ing the ritual work of the Or der,' striving to do better all the time, we And as well a grange doing better work along the line of grange obawah oabdkeh. endTOr w, believe that in the past we have not given this feature of our work the prominence it deserves. It schools the mind, elevates the thoughts and In ev ery way contributes to Improvement - The sole purpose of this Order Is to i help and Improve, and all will take out of the Order Just In proportion to how much we contribute to its work, either In time, thought or labor. By keeping our members actively at work they are constantly being Improved and thereby continually strengthen the Order and create a desire among those on the outside of our gates to join our ranks. We need all to join us whose interests are Identical with ours. Let every legitimate effort be made to draw them into our organization. Yet we would Impress the thought that a grange whose controlling force Is de pendent upon the efforts of others will never succeed, but will shrivel and nar row the scope of Its horizon until deep shadows will fall and the place which knew it will know It no more. - Indi vidual duty and individual responslbil Itv. with concentrated effort, is what we need to win. O. GARDNER, Master Maine State Orange. Wkr " Shoald Oraraaiae. President K. L. Butterfleld of the Rhode Island Agricultural college is an enthusiastic member of the grange. Speaking of the need of farmers or ganizing, be says: "One of the weakest places in the ar mor of the American farmer la his fail ure to organize as be ought Organi zation In this day and age of the world is almost absolutely essential for the self protection of any class. It Is nec essary also in order that the senti ments and beliefs and wishes of the class shall be crystallized into definite, sane, practicable programmes and that campaigns may be waged In order that the realization of these programmes may be secured. Organization Is a test of class efficiency. If the farmers can not maintain adequate organizations it may well be argued that as a class they are declining in ability. Organ ization is, furthermore, a most power ful means of educating the members of that organization. This subject of organization Is one that has been too much neglected by our agricultural ed ucators." A Vlotorr For the Oramse, What the grange can do when it pulls itself together is well Illustrated in the campaign which was carried on to se cure an appropriation for the agricul tural hall at Cornell university at Itha ca, N. T. Within ten days between the time the bill passed and the hearing be fore the governor, Secretary Giles re ceived almost 800 letters urging favor able action by the governor on the measure. Tnese were suomittea to ine governor In a bunch. They came from forty-three counties in the state. Of the number only three absolutely op posed the bill and only five were equiv ocal. It will be a matter of interest also, for members of the Order to know that the grange Is to be represented in the management of the college, the state grange being Ho wed to appoint one member to meet with the board of directors and act in an advisory ca pacity.
