in a word, he firmly believes that ''the
world owes him living" and he is
waiting for the debt to be paid. He
acknowledges no obligations, or, at
least, fulfills none. At home he begs
off from chores and physical work on
the plea of study; but if he studies at

comes in just about the time his name
is called, 50 as to keep his record as

Anniversary Exercises.

According to announcement in THE
HERALD OF last week, the Mississippi
valley Lodge. l. o. o. +, celebrated
the sixty-fourth anniversary of the es-
Enlistment of that order, in Hyde's
Hall, last Wednesday evening. A large
audience was in attendance, there being
but very few vacant chairs to be seen
as the exercises progressed.
The programme opened with an in
strumental selection by Prof. Wagner,
of Dubuque. This was followed by a
song from the choir, consisting Of
Messrs Iyey, Woodhouse and Hicks, and
Mrs. and Miss Mitchell and Mrs. Morse
with Miss Laura Woodhouse at the or
gan. This number was very well rem
dered and was followed by a short
prayer by Grand Master L. w. Bing-
ham. Another song followed which
was enthusiastically received by the
audience. When the applause had died
away +. Pollock N. G. stepped forward
andintroducedt the speakerofthe evening
l.. W. Bingham, Grand Master of the
jurisdiction in which the Mississippi
Valley lodge is included. Mr.. Bingham
is forcible and energetic speaker and
was attentiyely listened to throughout
His speech was in manuscript but the
gentleman did not allow himself to be
tied down to the mere written charac-
tiers, and at times branched out widely
as he endeavored to urge or clinch some
line of thought. He opened by saying
that it gave him great qualification to
meet the brethren in Lancaster on
this occasion. He presumed that the
audience had not assembled to be
amused and in his remarks he should
aim rather to instruct and if the ideal
he aimed at might be held too high the
speaker believed the time was coming
when it would be reached.
With this introduction Mr.. Bingham
proceeded to elucidate his theory of the
duties and possibilities of Odd Fellow
ship. interspersed by history and statis-
tics OF the order. In this portion of his
discourse the gentleman said the first
lodge OF Odd Fellows organized in this
county was organized at Baltimore in
April. 1920, called Washington Lodge
No l. In regard to the work of the
order the speaker said that during the
past year it had paid out in financial
benefactions the enormous sum of
Sl,500,000 outside of the private chart
ties of members. The ideal struck by
Mr.. Bingham was high one, well
worthy of the emulation, not only of
Odd Fellows but of every class of man
kind. The gentleman spoke about an
hour and half and on concluding was
heartily applauded.
Another song by the choir, followed
by a benediction from Rev. S. w.
Eaton closed the programme proper,
after which the audience were treated
to some very good instrumental music
by Prof. Wagner and his assistants.
AT the conclusion of this portion of the
entertainment the hall was cleared of
chairs and those SO desiring INDUCED
in the witcheries of the merry dance
until the iwee hours were close by,
when a very pleasant evening was
brought to close, and the light-heart-
ed throng, strong in the belief that Miss
issippi Valley lodge had covered itself
with the glory of bountiful hospitality,
swept down the staircase and the hall
was left wrapped in its normal condi-
ton of solitude.
