Communi t i e s are much like individuals in

s o m e respects . A n d on$ ot these is that

tbej g e t ver j little it they dop't g o after it.

That g o o d old adage , "Everything c o m e s to

him wbo wai ts ," might have been all very

well in l imes g o n e by, but the modern idea

is that tbey c o m e much more quickiy it y o u

hustle while you wait.

This opinion is endorseu uy m e M a c l o n -

ough Club of Plat tsburgh, which, while

purely a social organizat ion, d o e s not hesi­

tate to take up matters of an entirely differ­

ent nature from l.ug avowed purpose of ex i s t ­

ence where the progress of {.h* city is to be

considered. When * « realize that s o m e ol

our mos t act ive business and professional

m e n are e n r o l l e d . i n its m e m b e r s b i p . i t i s

very clear wbal an important factor this c lub

m i g h t be in st imulat ing the activity ot our

citiz-jnE—bow it might incite us to take a

proper pride in oar city and to do our mite

toward placing it in the rank to which it

belongs and ip whjcb its natural advantages

ent i t le it .

A special meet ing of this d u b was beld on

thoroughly discussed. A rery proper en­

thusiasm w a s display ed , showing that S E J

leaaible plans for the commercial bet terment

ot the communi ty will rece ive the hearty co ­

operation ot the organisat ion .

The combinat ion ot social features witb

s o m e of the more ser ious interests in lite is

an attraction which should exc i t e tbe inter­

ber of subordinate g r a n g e s , and from t w i c e

to e ight t imes tbe number of patrons that

there were in Clinton and E s s e x count i e s a t

that t ime . Tak ing those facta into consider­

at ion it will b e S U M that in proportion to oar

n a m b e r s o u r associat ion has increased the

number of i ts po l ic ies and tbe amount of i ts

r isks a s much a s any aatosiat ion in t b e

State .

I shal l m a k e no predict ion for tha future

bat will say that w e may have • 2 . 0 0 0 . 0 0 0 ot

insurance in force a year from today, but I

d o not think tbal w e shel l unless more

g r a n g e s are organized. There is plenty of

room for more . E s s e x county has only s i x

for its 18 towns and Clinton only 10 tor ite

14 towns. If 12 more could b e organised i s

E s s e x and four more in Clinton there would

then be only a s many as there are towns ,

but the present number would b e doubled

and ibis associat ion might in t ime b e c o m e

th-* s t ronges t o l any in the Empire Sta le .

Tnere it a wide r a o s e in tbe amount ot in-

earauce taken by our different g r a n g e s . Tt i s

is partly owing to the difference in s ize of

the granges , but the fact that one g r a n g e has

e i^bt or ten t imes a s m s n y m e m b e r s a s a n ­

other does not fully explain the reason why

i s m e m ber* h a v e taken thirty-seven t i m e s

as much lnsurarxe a s tbe members ot the

auiu'lrr grange , { t h i n k b e true reason why

some g r a n g e s h a r e taken so little is because

tbeir m e m b e r s are Still p n j u d i c e d aea ips t

$1 75 or f.2 00 lor three yeats'' insurance

upon ei-cli f 100 tban t o pay only 15 cents : t
