More than 500 men, women and children usually assemble, the men not too comfortable in suits and the women, conversely, leveling in the opportunity to wear good clothes—as women universally do. These grange women are good looking speci mens, not too fat and more than usually capable looking. They move well and are light on their feet and apjwar to be physically harder than their city sisters. People come to a grange con vention for what appears a mul titude of reasons and being a dele gate is not the greatest of these. They have the opportunity to see more of the state, take a partly paid vacation trip and listen to some speeches which they bear for upward to twelve horn's a day. Their Interest in the politi cal procedures is more as obser vers than as partisans and only a few seem ready to do bat 116 for or against a sales tax, or lieuten ant-governor. A visit to the state grange convention solidifies the opinion that the grange is a so cial Institution despite the ac tions of its officers. A discussion on how to make a better cake— if anyone can make a better cake than grange women—would draw more interest than a discussion of taxes. The fringe of any convention is more expressive than the cen ter. It Is here that opinions are voiced; those who stay inside must be quiet until whatever fire engendered in them cools. At Pen dleton the fringe was not Im pressed with the pious platitudes of the la,K»r leaders about friend ship between those who buy food and those who sell it. Grangers know that human nature will cause labor to buy as cheaply as possible. And they know they will EKIKAÏ, JEN E IJ, 1»M the officers were successful in sell as high as possible.
