that in 1918 the Grand Lodge con
sisted of five subordinate lodges.
From 1878 TO 1889, thirty six new
lodges were organized, but twenty,
six having ceased to exist during
the same period. the order was con
fined in the latter year 10 fifteen
lodges. with a membership of 513.
In 1910, however, the work of or
ganizing new lodges began in earn
est. and the report published in
1850 showed 1l2 lodges, with an
average membership of twenty
eight per lodge. In 1854 the Grand
Lodge of Indiana embraced 1874
subordinate lodges. OF the 545
lodges chartered up to 1870, only
seventy five had proven recreant 70
their trusts, leaving 470 working

We propose to give few practical

will not only prove OF value, but will
brink to bear chat interest which
should exist between employers and
employees. 100 4"'sfl -. ~ ...,...,
In the first place, employ none but

Ter no obscene OF. profane language to

strict watch over your own business

you have a faithful hand. never let

dwelling is perched beside its smarter
fellows on street running west from
the war department. Commodore Reed
and family lived in the structure some
years ago. Reed was an agreeable old
gentleman, who had retired with his
naval honors thick upon him some

The Iowa GRasshopners.

s7se ne 1OW - WHU8DAORRCE0s
From several counties in the
State reports are received here that
the grasshoppers' have made their
appearance in vast numbers, with
disastrous effect.
In Pottawatomie county, near
Avoca, they are by the millions
now in the wheat fields Of w. c.
Barton and Robert Motherall.
They havo commenced on three
sides of Mr.. Barton's wheat fields
and, though they have gone but a
little way, they have literally swept
everything before them. Unless
they soon develop their wings and
are carried of by the wind, Mr..
Barton will loose his entire field. s
In Crawford county they are at
work. Near Dowville some of the
wheat has already been damaged,
and the prospects for good crop
are not very fiattering. In most
cases those farmers plowed up the
wheat and planted corn. -
In Kossuth county they appeared
in vast numbers, Small patches
are at work in Webster and Mo-
: mona counties. i
A gentleman who left Humboldt
county on Tuesday last. says that
at the Glen farm, near Springvale,
grasshoppers began their ravages q
couple of days before he left, and in
those two days they had cleaned
thirteen acres of every green thing
rs clean as a floor could be swept.
This was in section where grass
hoppers did comparatively little
damage last year.
= In Clay county, they are making
their appearance along tho edges ol
the wheat fields and nipping it Of
short, say from six to twenty feet
wide. Still it appears that they

there is sand and gravel, and ir
places they are 80 thick that yor
can catch them as boys catch flies
OBrien county reports that none
have appeared except what belone

There appears to be none in those
counties which were so devastated
last year. Those in which the,
now appear are older and better
