His Grange connection began in 1899 when he became a member of Fredonia Grange No. 1, oldest grange in the country. He immediately took a leading part and in 1904 he became master. During his second year he was elected master of the Pomona or county grange. Going as a delegate to the state grange he became an outstanding figure there and was chosen assistant steward in 1906, lecturer in 1908, overseer in 1912, and master in 1916, serving until 1920. He became national master in 1919.

In 1926 he was named by President Coolidge on the federal tariff commission serving on that body for sevral years and then retired from active life to his farm near Fredonia. He continued active in the local grange until the last.
He served under Governor Smith as a member of a committee to investigate the high cost of living and during the war period he served in several capacities including membership of food and fuel supply committee and as a liberty bond drive speaker. In 1934 he was defeated by Carolyn O’Day for congressman-at-large.

This was during the days of bartering. Customers would come to the store and trade for their needs. One day, one of the women of the area came to the store and wanted to trade cream. When asked what she wanted in return, the woman replied that she wanted cream. That was peculiar and she was asked why she wanted to trade cream for cream.
The customer had a ready answer. She just couldn’t use the cream because a mouse had fallen into it. The mouse hadn’t hurt the cream and it wouldn’t bother anyone else because they didn’t know what had happened.
Amos traded but she didn’t know he traded her own cream back to her.
