THE FRATERNITIES,

1. O. o. F.

At the session of the grand lodge of
Massachusetts, held last August the special
committee on dues and benefits made a
very able report though not so full as
they wished, and as the great importance
of the subject demanded. As they report,
there is no subject before this grand lodge
that is of greater Importance or affects
more vitality the whole future of the order
Whatever action is taken it must be with
a full understanding of the needs and ne
cessites of the order in its present condi-
ton, and of what must be the reasonable
expectations of the future The commit
tee fully realize the importance of the sub
ject and report progress and ask that the
committee be continued. The Red Men
of this town have committee on this
question, and at meeting a short time
ago had an exhaustive report on this sub
iect, and said committee were instructed to
make another report bringing in some plan
in order to carry out the project of graded
dues, and it would be strange if the
Odd Fellows should be the ones to agi-
tate the subject and the Red Men
here in Brattleboro be the first lodge
or tribe in New England to adopt this
plan. All beneficial organizations must
adopt it sooner or later and the more one
studies up the subject more fully does he
become convinced that this is the only true
plan to adopt in order that our order
shall be able to carry out the its promises
in the future

Attending ON Lndgr Mertinrs.

No one thing, perhaps contributes more
to the healthy condition Of the subOrdin-
ate lodge than a prompt and regular at
tendance of its members. The benefits of
the order, its teachings, social features and
good work aimed TO be accomplished war
rant the attendance of every member Of
the lodge at every meeting. 1t is often
the case that members, after they acquire
all the degrees, soon become remiss in at
tendance; more often persons who have
passed the chairs and are Just qualified for
the greatest usefulness cease TO come to
lodge. They seem to consider that having
the honors Of the subordinate lodge and
gained admission into the grand lodge
their mission AS Odd Fellows is over. Such
members ought to be the mainstays of the
subordinate lodges, for they have arrived at
a place where they can intelligently com
prehend and impart the teachings of the
order.

FROM MOUNT HERMON
Hermons 30. wilIistons q.

Mt. Hermon presented crippled team
at Easthampton in the game with Willis
ton Monday, and this, coupled with I'M
looked for strong playing of the Williston
men, accounts for the small score made
30 to Q in favor of Mt. Hermon. The
features of the game were the playing of
Fulton, Hall and McDougald of the Her
mons, and Gait and Boyle Of the Willis
tons. Crowel played end for Hermon,
scoring two touchdowns, and W. G.. Cor
nell played in his usual place, right tackle.
The next game is with Vermont Academy
on the home grounds next Monday, and a
good game is expected, as the two teams
are nearly equal in weight this year. Thus
far Mt. Hermon has scored $50 points, and
has been scored on by no team but Will
liams varsity.

Vermont sheep may not he selling for
$1,000 or more, as was the case at one time
in the history of the sheep industry in this

not passed when large prices can be real
lied as the result of the proper breeding of
sheep, says the Burlington Free Press, in
an extended editorial on the Vermont Ne
rinos at the Melbourne, Australia, show
1t appears that the bulk of awards were
captured by the MerinOs having Vermont
strains of blood or those of direct impor-

Watching the Clock.

AS the Christian Union says, there
is deal of common sense in this story
lately told of Edison, whether he said
it or not. A gentleman went to the
great electrician with his young son,
who was about to begin work as office
boy in well known business house.
The father asked Edison for a motto
which the boy might take to heart In
his struggle for promotion and success.
After moments pause, Edison said,
laconically, Never look at the clock"
Edison, meant, we take it, that the
man who it constantly afraid he is
going to work overtime or overhours
doesn't stand chance of competing
with the man who clears up his desk,
no matter how long it takes. The car
penter who drops his hammer, uplift.
ed above his head, when the whistle
blows, is likely to remain a second
class workman all his life. The car
penter who stays fifteen minutes to
finish "job" is working toward a
shopo his own.
