THE GRANGE.
Ll.;, t l by 1.. i:i h.
Tium1.v, Ojtob-.T was the day up
pointed for tlit annual ( Jriing' '(invention
to elect delegates to the stut" (irange,
and aUo tin day fur the annual meetiig
of Van Unren county Pomona: but on
account of a misunderstanding I u t few
members were prent. Delegates from
five grangi-s were present and elected.
Brother .Stephen Nah a nil ister Flora
Nash, members of Waverly (irange, as
delegates from tiie ea-,t district, which
includes Woodman, Waverly, (ilendale,
Paw Paw ar.d Decatur liranges. Brother
J. F. Becker and sifter Levancha M.

Granges.
Pomona grange was called to order
and a recesstaken till Saturday, October
14. All fifth decree members are urged
to be present.
Brother J. F Bicker, master of Berla
mont (irange, which was organized last
spring, reports Berlaiuont Grange to be
in a prosperous condition, with CO mem
bers. There are eight live Granges in Van
Bureu county and twosemi-dormantones.
There should be 25 live Granges, and
would be if farmers did Dot stand in
their own light. The watchword of the
present decade is "organization." The
farmer alone seems unable to hear it.
We attended (ilendale Grange Tues
day evening, October 3, and can report a
very good meeting. The program was
well carried out, and a line supper was
spread.
In his last annua report, W. M. Hor
tou says: ''The national Grange reaf
firmed its demands for the adoption of a
postal savings bank system, an amend-j
inent to the constitution providing for!
the election of United States senators by
a direct vote of the people, strengthen
ing national pure food laws, extending
the privileges of the parcels post so that
packages of at h-ast 1- pounds may be
carried through the mails, the extension
of market for farm produce equally
with manufactured articles, enlargement
of anti-trust laws, so as to clearly define
what acts on the part of corporations
would be clearly detrimental to public
welfare, national aid to improve public
highways."
How would this program do for your
next meeting?

What Count.
Whether it is a soap you use, a perfume, a pow
der, or a prescription. Most every soap will answer
for cleansing soiled hands: not every soap,
however, will leave your hands soft and impart that
delicate look of refinement.
Most every perfume will agreeably scent your
clothing; not every perfume will leave a sense of
delicacy, or establish for you an individuality.
Most every Talcum powder will take away that
"shiny" look from a freshly shaved face; not every
powder will nourish the skin, will preserve it.
Whether 'tis soap, whether 'tis perfume, powder
or a prescription CHARLKS is authority. We are
masters of our craft; we can advise you.
