is to have legitimate rights we do not question, but the Granges stand together in the enactment and enforcement of wise laws with sufficient penalties to prevent reckless driving on our streets. "Resolved. That we goon record as deploring the saloon and all its interests. We should brand it as the curse of our homes and limuituil and join in the expression of the national Grange that the saloon should be rigorously guarded nntil it can be 'abolished. Every community tbonld be empowered to vote every saloon from its borders." A re6olutton was adopted favoring the appropriation of an economical amount annually by the legislature to help maintain a few well regulated fairs nuder tbe most stringent rules and regnlations.

It is recommended that all fairs shall be incorporated under the state law; that all appropriations shall lie used to pay premiums on agricultural and domestic exhibits: that no peddlers, fakirs, or cheap vaudeville shows tie allowed on tbe grounds; that such fairs shall be educational in every respect: that all fairs receiving state aid shall tie under the full control of a etate fair commission. The legislative committee of the Grange is Instructed to further this plan, A resolution was adopted instructing tbe legislative committee to formulate plans for a grange insurance company. An appropriation of $300 was made to forward the work of tbe grange in Vermont. The committee on agriculture urged the adoption of a conservative progressive method of farming. Federal aid for tbe extermination of tbe gypsy and brown tail moths in Massachusetts is favored and the cooperation of the Vermont Grange in the work is pledged.

The work of tbe state experiment station at Bnrlington is highly commended and farmers are nrged to practice its teachings.

Tbe annual address by Worthy Bell was given in tbe afternoon, Auiong other tbiues the speaker es pecially emphasized tbe importance of tbe niemoers adherence to toe rules which tbe Grange maintains for legis lation along eleven lines. The more important of these are tbe extension of the rural free delivery; the passage of an amendment to tbe United States Constitution permitting the election of United States enators tiy direct vote ot the people; the granting of tbe power to Congress to regulate and control cor porations and combinations preventing the monopoly and use of corporate powers to restrain trade or toarbitrarilv establish prices; to enlarge tne power and duties o' the interstate commerce commission, giving it authority to make charges, their findings to tie operative and so continued until overruled by the courts; to enact a pure food law and to provide for the extension of markets for products; an anti-trnst law defining what acts of corporations are detrimental to public welfare; a parcels post, telephone, and telegraph service in connection with free delivery; national and state aid for improvement of public highways; tax law provision which will compel all property to bear Its just proportion of the public burden, Governor Bell urged tbe election of the best men possible for officers of tbe Grange in order that the best interests of the order might be served and the best results obtained, ts-tb for Vermont and her citizens. The abject of tbe order was that the inhabitants of tbe hamlet, towns and city make the most of their town and themselves. In tbe evening a banqnet was served by the women of the Episcopal chnrch which proved a very en jy able occasion.

Tbe sixth and highest degree was con ferred on SO candidates irotu different sections of the state. Among the business matters transacted was resolutions commending Gov. Bell and expressing admiration for his stability of purpose ia maintaining the laws of Ver- mont, ana aouoiy assuring nna or sym pathy and brotherly support of the order. Worthy Master C. J.

Bell appointed as a legislative committee Catus Peck of Bnrlington, George W. Pierce of Brattleboro, and Dana 11. of Randolph. The vacancy on the execu tive committee by lh death of L. M.
