With 800,000 member In the United
States, It would seem altogether un
necessary to ask or answer the above
. question. But this paper may come
under the eye of some one who is not
familiar with the alms and principles
of our Order. It Is an organization of
farmers for tbeir mutual . welfare.
Among the specific object named In
Its declaration of purposes are these:
To develop a better and higher man
hood and womanhood among ourselves;
to enhance the. comforts and attrac
tions of our homes; to further co-operation;
to buy less and produce more In
order to make our farms self sustain
ing; to bring producers awl consumers,
farmers and manufacturers, Into the
most direct and friendly relations pos
sible. The grange Is nonpartisan, yet
Its principles underlie all true politics
and statesmanship. It believes in co
operating together In every legitimate
manner for their own protection and to
enhance their mutual Interests.
The Order Is called the Patrons of
Husbandry, and the head of the na
tional grange la Hon. Aaron Jones of

We learn from a Portland (Ore.)
paper that several committees have al
ready been named by the various or
ganizations In Portland, Ore., to ar
range for the next meeting of the
national grange in that city. The or
ganizations that are interesting them
selves in the matter are the board of
trade, chamber of commerce, the
Manufacturers' association, xue v,um
nierclal club and the state granges of
Oregon and Washington. At a meet
ing of representatives from these sev
eral bodies committees on finance, en
tertainment, reception, transportation
and an executive committee were ap
pointed. It was decided to raise a
fund of $2,500 to defray the expenses
