A HINT TO LECTURERS.
How Do Yon Get Backward Sfm
I , Wra to Reapoadt
In response to the above question
wn have received tho following from
Ohio lecturers:
Quotations or pennies.
By Inducing them to ask questions.
By allowing them to talk while sit
ting. By allowing them to Belect their own
subject.
Encourage regular attendance and
timo will do the rest.
By assigning them subjects In which
they are interested.
By hunting op a selection and plac
ing it In their hands to read.
By occasionally imposing a fine of 5
cents for failure to respond.
By deftly turning the trend of the
discussion upon their hobby.
By asking them direct questions to
bo answered then and there.
. By keeping the thought before them
that they can do if they try.
By giving them something that they
can do. and not too hard for tbem.
By giving them questions that can be
answered by yes or no for a starter.
By insisting that each member, pres
ent shy something upon a subject un
der discussion.
By studying each member's inclina
tions and assigning them subjects ap
propriate to the same.
By only asking them to respond when
I .think something so interests them
that they can't sit still.
By writing a number of questions
from quarterly slips, having each one
draw out one and answer.
By impressing them with the fact
that they are capable of executing any
part assigned them and that they
should cast aside all fear, for we are
all brothers and sisters. Lecturer.
Co-operative Effort.
Oliver Wilson, master of IlHonls
state grange, well says that eo-opcra-ttve
baying and selling should bo an
important factor. If this practice were
generally followed by all grangers the
system would soon develop and would
not only be remunerative ta tlio indi
vidual, but a source of revenue to the
state grange. Without hardship to
any one, the revenues thus derived
would bo enough to pay J)e expenses
of delegates to the Btate meeting.
Bellevea In Co-operation.
Moorestown (X. J.) grange believes
In co-operation nnd practices It- It
recently received -a consignment of
6,000 bushels of seed potatoes and also
purchased 1,000 tons of fertilizing ma
terial direct from the importers. The

In New Hampshire there are' twenty
five women who are masters of subor
dinate granges, 175 ns secretaries, 203

the officers are women.
Every grange should exert a moral
