JOSEPHINE COUNTY
: GRANGE DEPARTMENT i
j State Lecturer J. J .Tohuson will
visit nil the Granges in Rogue River
j Valley while in this section of the
state to atteud the Fourth of Jo It
celebiatiou, at which ha is one of the
j speakers, at Wilderville grove. Hi
schedule of dittos will be to meet witn
j Deer Creek Grange cn Monday, July
6, w th Illliuois Valley Oranpe on
jTuetday, Joly 7. with Wilderville
j Grauge on Wednesday, Joly 8, with
jFroitdale Grauge on Ttiaiaday, July
:9, with Diniick Orange tin Friday,
July 10. with Talent Orange on Sat
urday, July 11, with Ontral Point
Grauge on Monday, Joly 13. As
these daily mreting and the long
drives that will have to be made
between some of the Granges mill
make the itinerary a strenuous one on
Mr. Johnson it is asked tht to make
the work as w-y as possible for him
that day sessions of the Granges be
held instead of at night, where pos
sible. To aid in the extension work
for the Graogti movement in this
valley Mr. Johnson will hold public
meetings at as many places as possible.
The plan favored Is for the Granges
to .hold iheir meetings in the after
noon and then to hold a publio meet
ing in the evening. Grang'S that do
this will find the two meetings very
helpful, for .at the o'osed meeting
the officers and members will be able
to get much valuable instructions
from the State Lecturer and at the
publio meetings the publio will learn
of the purposes aud real worth of the
Grange to the farmers aud as a factor
in bringing a fuller aud a better de
velopment of the agricultural re
sources of the community.
Dimtnick Grange, Emily Lawton,
reporter: Regular meeting was held
Saturday evening and though , there
was a heavy rain storm there was a
good attendan e of members. Two
applications for membership were
balloted on and the persons admitted,
and one application was received.

What an active public spirit and an
energetic campaign for civic Improve
ment can do Is shown by what the Vil
lage Improvement association of Fram
Ingham, Mass., has accomplished.
Then there was the experience with
the hencoop on the common, says the
Boston Ilerald. That Is a charming
piece of grouud In Framiugham Cen
ter, with the old towu hull at one end.
a high school at the side, two churches
at the far end and well planned houses
on the fourth side. For years there
had been desecrating hencoops and a
poultry yard in frout of the high school.
The ussoclutlou uttucU-d nil tliut. It
was a small mutter so small that no
body at first seemed to have Interest
enough to uct. Then one murulng the
town set to work, tore down the coop,

committee, which hod been aomewhnt

good that bud Ixtm done by taking
awuy the coops. The Improvement us
soctatlou smiled and did uot charge
anybody with having stolen Its thun

old town hull, a center of activity when

pieces. The Improvement asooolntlon
set out to get It. It took time, but
finally by an almost unanimous vote
the BHsoclutlou wus given charge of the
old white building ut a nominal rental.
It Is going to be au expensive piece of
business too. The members of the as
sociation huve pledged $1.5(K) already
for Improving the exterior and the In

were signs that the modernizing spirit
would Improve" the damaged spire.
The editorial committee of the associa

grange may make a good showing in
efficiency in ritualistic work when the
state lecturer visits us especial effort
will be made at this time for thorough
drilling in the work f the order and
to that end all the oQioi ti were asked
to thoroughly rehearse their parts.
WiMerville Grange, C. F. Woelffle,
reporter: Regular meeting was held
on the evening of June 13. After the
bu'iness matters had been disposed of
a disen sion of the good roads problem
was bad. Those taking a leading part
in the discussion were J. H. Robin
son, C F. Lovelace, James MoCann,
Charles Smith, E. A. Hump ton and
A. M. Jesi. Good points were made
iti both the manner of doing road work
and in the system of handling the road
fond in this oounty and alio in doing
the work under a number of supervi
sors or nnder a county road master.
E. A. Hutuptoo, having closed his
term of teaching In the Wilderville
school and moved to his farm in Deer
Creek valley, tendered his resig t ti n
as secretary of the grange. It was
accepted and a vote of thanks given
bim for the efficient manner in which
he bad discharged the duties of the
office. T. A. Pollard was elected secre
tary.for the remainder of the ti i
time ago n rumor was spread around
the town thut there was a plan to buy
the land and cut off all the trees. Near
the knoll lives u member of the associa
tion, not a wealthy person as weaim
goes even lu Framlngham. The place
appealed to her on account or lia nat
ural beauty, and rather than see the
trees cut down she bought the plot.
Near the house of this oiember la a
little triangle where road meet and
cross, loere was an oiu wooueu aigii-
post there. It waa said thut somebody
Dropoued to buy up that little tract aud
put some building or other on It The
member bought that place, me ow
wooden slgu weut down, a substantial
column with a pretty signboard weut
up, and climbing vines were plauted
by the member at the foot of the col
umn. In midsummer or early autumn
the slgu Is nothing If not si arch I tec
tural cameo.
It was In recognition of the work
done by the Improvement Association
that the South Framiugham board of
trade appolutud a siiecial Ullage lui
provement committee, and It was to
aid the asstx-latlon that a town meet
ing, attended by l.NKl, no ouly op
pointed a park commission, but made
Dr. F. W. retch, the present or the
association, chairman.
"It was perfectly sufj uppolut
uient," conimeuta one member, "for
everybody knows thut Ir. Patch bus
uo ux to grind and t'.iot hs would uot
know bow to do the grlndli.g If an ax
were handed to him."
It is hard to put the finger ou the
cause or the causes of the remarkable
success of the association In every
tiling It tackles. For one tl'.ng. there
la au activity which show a boyish
enthusiasm In going ahead and dolug
tilings. It inn t u sporadic slurtuess.
It has come to stay.
