There are many ways the grange can actively Interest Itself in the fair, and then when the fair is over let some one or more persons explain to the grange some o f the more Interesting educational features o f the exhibition. We have not said anything about the floral parade, which Is so attractive a feature o f some county fairs. One county fair association In New York state offers very liberal premiums for decorated wagons and automobiles. Every one who enters a decorated ve hicle gets $20, and there is an addi tional first prize o f $40 to the winner, with other liberal prizes. On these terms a grange is sure o f something, and It may be something very much worth while. A M A S S A C H U S E T T S IDEA. Agricultural Exhibit at Annual Meeting of the State Grange. The Massachusetts stute grange au thorities are certainly to be commended for their plan to have an agricultural and horticultural exhibition In connec tion with the next state grange meet ing in this city in December. It is not to be an exhibit for revenue, as no premiums will be awnrded, but it Is to he strictly educational, and each de partment will be under expert manage ment. Each grange Is to have charge o f that class of products or articles with the production o f which Its mem- twrs are most familiar. This will in sure the best possible showing In the respective articles or products nnd will familiarize the public with that which Is the best that the state can produce. This exhibit is likely to equal the ex cellent exhibition o f fruits and vege STORE SWEATERS THURSADY, NOVEMBER 27, 9131, tables made at the last session o f the national grange that waa held in A t lantic City, N.

In the public mind New Jersey Is capable o f raising on Its sandy tracts not much else than melons and mosquitoes, but people were con vinced to the contrary when they w it nessed what the state was really pro ducing. So It may bo with the Boston exhibit. It will, we believe, open the eyes o f Bostonians nnd suburbanites as to the possibilities o f Massachu setts orchurds and gardens end all the agricultural resources o f the state. There will be no trouble, we Imagine, to get the consent of the exhibitors to the proposition o f State Master Gard ner and his committees, to give the produce placed on exhibition, after the close o f the state grange meeting, to different charitable institutions o f Bos ton. It will show a generous spirit on their part, nnd it will save them the expense of freighting the articles back to their homes. The date of meeting o f the state grange la fixed for Dec. 8, 9 and 10. and the place is Tremont temple. JOHN DODGE, PROP. OF The Personal Element la A dvertising By Chelsea (Me.) Grange Hall. One o f the recent new grange halls that are always an evidence o f grange prosperity and grange permanency ts that of Chelsea grange In Maine. For two years the project has beep under way. The lumber was bought stand ing in the forest. The grange men gave their labor freely to cut It nnd haul it to the mill to be sawed and prepared for the building.. They also contributed a large part of the labor ' required In the erecting of the build ing. so Incidentally learned a practical ! lesson in co-operation. The new prop erty is estimated to be' worth $4,000, i and there is only $S00 debt upon it. ■ Chelsea grange is not a large one. 115 members, but they are active, and the I work they have accomplished nnd the I spirit displayed are evidences of en- j terprise and loyalty worthy commend- ation.

They omit ttie iierson- al element, which is the es sence o f successful advertis ing. Be personul In your adver tising as you would be In conversation. Try to Impress the individual buyer by direct and personul appeal. Write your advertisement with the knowledge that It is to be read by individuals each of whom thinks uud acts Indi vidually. But into your ad vertisement something of yourself, something of your sincerity and enthusiasm. Make your advertising as much a part of yourself as your business Is.
