The charter plan requires 9 men and 4 women at minimum, or 20 men and 10 women at maximum. $15 goes to Washington, $5 covers eight hours of the Deputy’s work, with the remainder staying in the grange treasury. Each charter member pays 24 cents yearly to support state and national granges, leaving 96 cents per member in the treasury. State dues cover delegates’ expenses, and initiates after charter members pay $1 to the State and $4 to the grange treasury. A flock of varied notices follows, including a curious anecdote about a shepherd dog and a historic church-population note with flagged items and a boy’s prize.
