Reports From Other Granges
Received and Measures To
Be Yoted On Introduced
Marion County Pomona Grange met
with. Amsville Grange on Wednesday,
April 1$. The attendance -was very
large from the different granges in tlie
coutf . The hall were beautifully deco
rate with American flags and butter-
flirt. The first order of business was
Ihe reports from the different granges
in the county. Salem Grange, the first
to report, said they have over 100 mem
bers, and are taking in new members
tit each meeting.
Surprise Grange, of Turner, reported
a greater interest was being taken in
their grange than ever before. Stayton
Grange was reported to be in a flourish
ing condition. Aumsville has a good
grange and good attendance North
Howell members say when fishing is
good their attendance is not so good.
Woodbnrn Grange is not in a very good
condition but a new grange has been
organized about two miles east of Wood
burn, and has about 50 members. Mac
leay reported their grange in an excel
lent condition, in fact, better than for
a goofl many years, with new members
coming at every meeting. Ankncy and
Butteville Granges were not represented.
The next order of business was the re
ports of the different committees. The
wool committee reported they were con
ferring with Ihe wool growers and that
they would pool their wool at tne nign
est nriee.
North Bend Grange extended Pomona
Granee a very cordial invitation to
meet with them as the meeting place for
June 20, and their invitation was ac
cepted. Becess was taken at this time and"
bountiful dinner was served by Aums
ville Grange which was enjoyed by all.
The afternoon was opened by the lec
turer, J. C. Libby, with the members
singing "The' Star Spangled Banner "
A reading of the Grange Digest by Mrs.
Zella Fletcher.
C. J,. Shaw, of Albany, a member of
cue of the executive committees of the
state grange, was called on to speak,
but lie said in a short talk that lie came
to hear the discussion on the measures
to be voted on at the coming eloetion
but not to speak. A solo by one of the
young ladies of North Howell Grange
was eBjoyed by the members at this
time. A "reading by uenevieve Patton.
A reading, "Columbia," by Miss Ethel
Fletcher.
The different measures to be voted on
in the election in June were then in
troduced for the consideration of the
grangers. The first measure, authoriz
ing porta to create limited indebted
ness to encourage water transportation,
wag introduced by J. Voorhees, of
AVoodburn Grange, who spoke in favor
of the measure
The second was limiting number of
bill introduced and increasing pay of
legislators, was introduced by J. VY.
Smith. He was not in favor of limiting
them as he said they should have honor
enough to limit themselves. He said he
thought the mode of getting the bills
through the legislature was a little
I shadowy sometimes and that in the1
course of time we would proLubly do
away with the legislature and have a
com mission form of government.
! The third was requiring city, county
, and state election to bo held at the
i same time. O. H. Daily introduced this
measure and thought it would be a goou
thing and a saving of about $15,000 a
year, but too many times there wero
.jokers in these bills and ho cautioned
the grangers to study these bills well
before voting on them.
The $100,000 tax levy for a new peni
tentiary was introduced by Mrs. A. V.
Davidson, who said it was possible the
new buildings were needed but did not
favor the taxation at the present time
with the country in so much turmoil
and conditions so unsettled, the people
already having all the taxes they can
carry.
Mr. J. McDonald spoxe on this mea
sure, saying he had visited the peniten
tiary on Beveral occasions as a member
of the jury and lound thf prisoners Bet
ter cared for and better fed than most
people in their own homes.
The girls of the public school of
Aumsville gave a flag drill which was
appreciated- The grange then gave the
salute to the flag and the pledge to the
nation.
J. F,. Whitehead introduced the mea
sure, "The uniform tax classification
amendment. " , He did not favor this
amendment as we did not know what
the law would be, but do know what it
is now. He said we knew what legisla
tion had done for the people there was
nothing honest in the way property was
assessed but he could not see that this
amendment would help us any, so for
that reason was opposed to the measure.
Declaration against implied repeal of
constitutional provisions by amend
ments thereto, wag opposed by John W.
L. Smith.
K. B. Barber, of Portland, also spoke
against this bill. A bill for taxation o
Oregon and Cali'fornit land grant, was
taken care of by J. P. Bobertson, whose
speech will be published at some future
date.
The next measure was the great ques
tion of the clay, the $0,000,000 road
bond, which was spoken on by Mr. Van
Trump, who said he spoke as a granger
and was opposed to the bonoing. He
was especially opposed to bonding of'i
any kind, when labor and materials are
as high as they are now, and that the.
article written by State Master C. E.;
Spencer covered most of the grange
members' views on the bonding. Mr.
VanTrump's speech will be published
in full in a few days.
These measures were not allowed to
be discussed at this meeting, but only
introduced for the consideration and
careful study by the members, perhaps a
special meeting will be called for the
discussion of these bills before the June
election. Mr. Woilesy, 'from Astoria,
was called on and made a short speech
inviting all to attend the state grange
which meets with Astoria Grange. E.
H. Baker was called and spoke a few
words. Mr. J. Ulrich, of Airlie, made a
few remarks.
The grange then closed the open ses
sion and opened in the fourth degree.
The grange unanimously sustained C.
E. Spencer, the state master, in his ar
ticle against bonding.
A resolution- was adopted to extend
the state grange an invitation to meet
w'ith. Salem Grange in 1938, also to ask
the Commercial club to assist in enter
taining them. The members then sang
"America" and closed in due form;

If yon wish to 1 (successful in your employment, in
vour Irtisiness, in your profession, tiiere is no better wr.v to attain
that t-inl than by GOING TO CIIUKCJI. Tho young man who
GOES TO CHURCH has the confidence. oC his employer. Tho
employer knows that a young man who is a regular church ut
tendant cannot go wrong very far. Tho beneficial influence of tlia
church is ever present.
What is truo of the young man is true of the older business
man. Observing persons are apt to patronize tho man who GOKS
TO CHURCH. Thev feel Hint they arc ASSURED OF HON
EST AND SQUARE DEALING. Of course thero are some
hypocrites, but they arc the exception rather than tho rule. The
professional man, the lawyer, tho doctor, who GOES' TO
CHURCH is an iiuiiietliala material gainer.
THEREFORE IT IS PLAIN THAT THE YOUNG MAN WHO WISH
ES TO RISE IN THE ESTIMATION OF HIS EMPLOYER, THE BUSI
NESS MAN AND THE PROFESSIONAL MAN WHO WISH TO BE
SUCCESSFUL, MUST GO TO CHURCH. THE BIGGEST MEN IN THE
UNITED STATES GO TO CHURCH. PRESIDENT WILSON IS A
REGULAR CHURCH ATTENDANT. SO ARE THE LEADERS IN EV
ERY LINE OF ENDEAVOR.
You'll meet the right sort of people in church. They are tho
people whose hand clasps are sincere. They are the people who
will look you in the eye. If you have not alieady joined the GO
TO CHURCH throng make up your mind to do so next Sunday.
Don't procrastinate. Delays always avo dangerous. Perhaps you
already have delayed too long.
GO TO CHURCH at once and keep GOING TO CHURCH. (
Miss Annette Kellermann, proclaimed
by sculptors to possess the ideal wo
manly form, has eclipsed all her prev
ious aquatic achievements in her re
markable work as the star of Wil
liam Fox's picture beautiful, "A
Daughter nt the Gods." In this film
she is enabled to exhibit her swimming,
diving, dancing and fencing skill in
the most effective and exquisite natur
al settings imaginable. Miss Keller
mann literally accomplishes what her
audiences nevertheless insist is impos
sible. Shooting Niagara Falls in a
barrel has been a daredevil's feat for
years, but this unclad Venus, with
wrists and ankles securely bound, al
lows herself to be swept down a

cade and shot into the whirlpool below.
"A Daughter of the Gods" will be
shown at the Grand Wednesday and
