F. & A. M. BANQUET.

The Fiftieth Anniversary of the yelling
ton Lodge Celebrated.-A Feast of Good
He Didn't Kick.
On last Wednesday evening the Masonic
brethren, their wives, children, and a
few invited guests convened in the hall
to attend banquet, one hundred and
fifty six being. The first hour was de-
voted to visiting and harmless games;
then came the literary program by the
children, the following named responded:
Bernice Bennett, Ruth Bowlby, John
Sheldon, Bessie Wilder, Mabel Wilder,
Lucille McDermott, James McDermott,
Florence Couch, Mary Hagerman, Char
lott Crane. The male quartette
then favored the audience with few
selections, after which the company
was invited to partake of bOuntiful re-
past expressly prepared by tho ladies.
The polite and attentive walters then
did their level best 10 serve the happy
company to the best that was in the
pantry. Then came the tOasts. 1t de-
yolved upon Mayor Couch to make an
address of welcome which he did in good
shape. T. DOland having been a mem
Der Of the order for the past forty years
and perhaps is the oldest active member
in point OF service, was called upon tC
relate incidents of the past. He sale
that the order here was practically con
Quoted by men that were infants wheI
he became member and that very few
were now living that were active mem
bers forty years ago. He referred to tn
obligations Of the brethren one to an
other, and if fully lived up to, a bette
state Of affairs would exist. His re
marks were very touching, indeed. Rev
&. 7. Hagerman was the next. He in
dulged in many witty sayings, whic
caused applause from every corner of tn
hall. Remarks were made by others
some i'll the interest of the order, Will
others in wit and humor. Five year
ago the first banquet of this kind wa
held and it proved so satisfactory to al
concerned that the brethren decided {
continue them, as the brethren would be
come better acquainted hence NOR
efficient work would be accomplishe
for the good the order. The exercise
closed at II o'clock and everyone presen
will doubtless join lis in saying that
was an enjoyable affair. The first pet

OBITUARY.

With the death of John Seward Case
our town has suffered the loss of one of
its Oldest and best citizens.
He was born in Cranky, Conn.,, July
II, 1903, and in 1918 accompanied his
parents on their journey in three-horse
wagon to the new territory Of the Wes-
tern Reserve and settled in the town Of
Hudson, O.
That was the year in which William
Yelling and four others cut their way
through the forests from Grafton to this
place, and built log cabin, which was
the beginning of Wellington. Thus the
life Of Mr.. Case in Ohio covers the entire
history Of this town, though he did not
come here to reside till some years later.
In 1922 his father died and soon the
family Of seven children became scat
tered. After school days were over he
removed to Kent, where he learned the
trade Of tanner and currier, In 1929 he
came to Wellington and set up tannery
in the ravine west of town, where he
conducted successful business during
the whole period Of his active life.
He was twice married and had born tC
him six children, two Of whom survive
him: Mrs. Stewart, of ROmney, Ind, and
Mrs. Rev. c. E. Manchester, of Cleye
land.
Mr.. Case united with the COngrega
tiOnal Church in 1880 and continued
from that time till his death one of it
most valued members, holding the offic,
of deacon from 1916 until his death. IL
peacefully fell asleep November 18 at tn
home of his son-in-law, in Cleveland
whittier he had gone to find home fo
the winter.
The burial services were held Noveln
ber q in the NJ. E. church, Wellington
being conducted by his pastor, Rev. A. +
Skecle, assisted by Rev. E. 7. Hagerma
and Rev. c. E. Manchester.
The prayer meetings in both churche
that evening were memorial Of him, an
many warm tributes to his characte
:, and his career were paid by those wh
knew him well. He was a true frien
and kind neighbor; straight and homes
in business dealings; always present 3
= church services, even five times on SUI
day in the early days; lover Of mission
: and liberal in their support; a consister
y thorough-gOing Christian man; he gre
= better as he grew older; progressive eve
to the last" These were some of I'll
words uttered out of the fullness Of neigl
bOrly love and regard.
Few indeed are those remaining who's
;, lives in the town antedate his. Rare
the career which affords measure
our entire and swift civilization. Nor
i precious than all, such q faith, such
character as he achieved.
IAN honored life,
!. A peaceful death,
And heaven to crown it ALL"

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Robins was born in England
thirty-three years ago. She came to
America and to Wellington with her
husband one year ago last May. Al
though stranger and foreigner she,
by her genial disposition, very soon won
place in the hearts Of those she mingled
with. Mrs. Robins was a member Of
church in England, though not uniting
with the church here. She was interest
ed in its work and when her home cares
and her health permitted she attended
the services, and enjoyed greatly the
meetings and the work Of the Ladies'
Aid Society.
She had kind word and smile for
all, and it can be truly said that few
persons going among entire strangers,
make in so short time so many warm
personal friends as did Mrs. Robins
in her brief residence in Wellington.
She died at her home on Elm street.

article which Congressman Wilher aims
TO deal with by law in order 10 protect
producer and consumer of honest cheese

the measure prOposed-namely, the
branding and taxing Of filled cheese. II
was announced distinctly more than five
years ago 1t suited us then; in the
light Of a seasoning of views duing five
years time We reiterate and readopt it.
In It's issue Of April 30, 1890, we thus
dealt with the filled cheese" business:
The position Of The Gazette on the
general question Of substitutes for foods
Is we'll known. 1t believes that every
tub should stand ON its own bottom
thai every wholesome article of food Of
feled on the open market should be sold
IN the consumer with a knOWl ledge on
his part Of its constituent elements
Then if he prefers to purchase butterine,
permit him the privileges if he wishes
To shorten his pie crust with cottonseed
oil, let him iuy it. Himself aud his
own stomach fer it as regards these sub
stitntes. They are Wholesome and their
consumption Is merely matter of taste.
But this filled cheese abomnation
stands ON different footing 1t is not
properly food substitute unless II be
substitute for hog food. =
We advise Congressman WILDER to
plan his campaign against FILLED
cheese ON that line, and refer him to
the Wisconsin statute as model.
As to skim cheese, we heartily approve
his plan Of compelling its branding so
that every purchaser may know that he
IS buying cheese that is not made from
whole milk. If whole milk cheese is too
rich for the buyers stomach, he can
choose cheese with whatever per cent If
tat best suits his digestive economy
We would not lay straw in the way Of
the manufacture and sale of cheese made
from partially skinned milk providing
no one is swindled into buying it Is full
cream. Butter is presumed to contain
at least so per cent butter fat. The man
who sells less fat III his butter il petty
swindler Likewise the man who skins
a part Of the cream from his mi Tx and
then sells cheese made from il as full
cream is petty thief. Swindling and
thlevery are always proper subjects Of
prohibltiyc legislative enactments. -
