Waking a Grange. 
The live, wideawake Grange is capa¬ 
ble of being so great a benefit in the 
life of any rural community that we 
regret to hear of one being asleep. Be¬ 
fore attempting to say, however, what 
will arouse the Maine Grange, page 668, 
it would be necessary to know what put 
it to sleep. Was it the natural drowsi¬ 
ness of old age, the inefficiency of its 
officers, or the indifference of its mem¬ 
bers? Granges have not only been put 
to sleep; they have been killed because 
of these things. In a Grange, the ma¬ 
jority of whose members have reached 
middle age, there is liable to be a lack 
of the enthusiasm which is so essential 
to good work in any organization. There 
then the home Grange will make a 
greater effort and .accomplish more with 
company present than if they were 
alone. The other Granges will, in re¬ 
turn, invite you to visit them. If they 
don’t, invite yourselves! You will learn 
something by observing their methods. 
Have you recently had a State officer 
to visit you? They can help you. Co¬ 
operate with your neighboring Granges 
and invite your State Master or Lec¬ 
turer to visit you and help find your 
weak points. Having to entertain a dis¬ 
tinguished visitor will arouse some. At 
the beginning of the year see that a 
wideawake committee is appointed to 
prepare a programme for the year. This 
should include discussions, debates,
