The attendance of the day numbered close to 200. n the list of speakers the presence one national officer and several state grange officers lent added interest to the programme, and the words that they spoke were listened to with in- tense interest by the audience assem- bled in the casino.

Afternoon Session, Master Billings T. resided at the afternoon Wwhich opened in the pavilion shortly after 2 o'clock, and began with a quartette from Preston City srange, which rendered a selection entitled The Girl Who Sat Down on My Hat. State Master Sherwood. Worthy State Master J. Sherwood of Easton was the speaker introduced, explaining at opening of his remarks that National Grange Lecturer N.-P. Hull of Dimon- dale. Mich, who had been expected to attend this meeting, had been detained in New Jersev and would not be able to attend. The state master went on to spea} of the benefits to be derived from these Pomona meetings, dwell- ing upon the two points ef education and co-operation. The grange, he said, was doing a work in education that no other or- ganization was doing today and this idea of education was one of its under- at rved by Worthy Arthur first lying principles. It meant much and was intended to mean much to the boy and girl in the country, We do not want to keep all the boys and girls on the farm, for what would the cities do without the country boys and girls who come to them? But we do want to make it worth while for the boys and girls who stay on the farm, and the grange aims to do that through the education it ean furnish them He spoke of the intention of the national grange to have a class of sev- eral thousand in the seventh degree, nd of this number Connecticut was ked to furnish 500, so that he urged the | ett P, Barnes, was followed by an in- | teresting talk by Rev. F. M. Hollister, | lecturer of North Stenington grange, Who spoke further Spon the pubject of co-operation Wwhich had been hed upon by one of the former re, indicating that he thought there could be & county seepe for co- operation which might be of advantage 1o “the farmers along marke( lines. Some of the things which the grange stands for, he sald, were community culture in & successful and scientific way. Sclentific farming is the only kind that will pay today and the grange can give something of an agri- cultural education. There is also the idea of rural uplift which can be a prineiple of the grange and put that orgamization up alongside of the church and the school for the benefit of the community. The grange should co-operate with that which stands for the spiritual in life. Rural uplift | means to make the state of Connecti- cut stand high intellectually, to make { it more livable in the country homes, | to make the state a greater agricul- tural field so that it would not have to send outside for the things upon which its people live. Let us stand by these three great things, the church, the grange and the school, which are the three big factors in community uplift. Paper by Mrs. Healy. | These, she said, were largely a matter of the young people and for them some recreation must be planned. It must not be all work for the young people on i the farm. Saturday afternoon sports were something she recom- mended and she also spoke strongly | of getting out of the idea that every week must be given to toll on the farm.- Mr. Healy also spoke in com- | mendation of the grand work that is | being done by the women's work com- mittees of the granges. | National Overseer Healy. Some stirring words along national grange work were gziven by L. | Healy, national overseer, who was lis | tened 'to with interest as he spoke of | the grange's success in its advocacy | of parcel post and of the oleomargarine | laws, | and he predicted that ther would be a sirong interest at w which the grangers must combat to | prevent the repeal of laws which are of the dairy inter- interests, {he encouragement of agri-7 Mrs. L.

The cure for the cost of high living, said Mr. Healy, lies in {the hands of the farmers when they want to exercise it by combination and co-operation, which would result higher prices to the farmer for the produce of his lands and lower prices to the ultimate consumer.
