Interesting Description ola Trip
to Ada and Return.
BY 4EsDANEs JERRUE AND HULL.
We thought sister Hull got into
the sliding scale (if / may be allowed
to use Bro. Battey's expression in
this sense) and slid out Of her recita-
tion. But in Justice to her, must
say she was ready and willing to do
the very best she could. It was oW-
ing to full program and lack OF time
several papers as we'll as Rotations
were omitted. The loss OF that reci-
tation to the District Lodge we hope
will be a gain to us here in the near
future.
After the program was through We
enjoyed a social chat with our new
~ formed friends, and only regretted
that time was so swift in it's flight.
The Fremskrit Lodge also was
represented by thorough earnest
workers. We regretted very much
that the Argyle Lodge could not
send delegates, but the explanation
in their report justified them in do
ing as they did. Wanger and Big
Woods Lodges are doing good work,
and meeting regularly, although
they were not represented either by
report or Delegates. We hope our
other Lodges in our District that
havn't reported, have not discontin-
ued their meetings. and that we may
meet delegates from all at the next
session Of the Dist. Lodge.
Some things occurred during the
day session worthy OF mention, which
has been overlooked. One now re-
call in sister Chaplin, who got into
the sliding scale, but was no sooner
out OF one Office until she was slid
INTO another. And sister Hull tried
the same experiment and would have
been successful in keeping ont, only
for her popularity with the marshal,
who Immediately turned the scale
and she was slid back into the same
Office with neatness and dispatch.
There was nothing else occurred
worthy OF note except the few losses.
Our sister from Euclid was quite
jubilant over having remembered
her regalia, but upon investigation
the credentials were found missing.
And sister Jerrue lost her memory
and would have stopped at Angus
on her why home, had it not beenfor
the watchful care OF the Deputy-bnt
that would have been Il small loss,
compared with that of her gum at
Ada. Our Deputy either lost the
button hole bouquet that made him
so attractive during the convention,
else ''it was a borrowed one'' and
had to be returned. Another loss
sustained by our Deputy, was the
loss of the seat in the car, at Crooks
ton on the way out. that our friend
Mr.. Charles Miner was SO officious
in trying to obtain for him. Thanks
to Bro. Battey for his unconscious
interposition-there need be no refec
tion cast on the good Bro. Tor the
lossofJoke-0rof Cfleappieetuner-for
it may have come from the Garden
of Eden.
The greatest losses were Bros. Jer-
rue and Gamble at Crookston. Jer-
rue has just got in all right, but, as
yet We can hear nothing Of Bro
Gamble, and fears are entertained
that he has been attacked with the
bicycle fever which is so contagious:
throughout the country. Every
train and hand cur will be eagerly
looked for in hopes Of seeing tile
missing Bro. either with or without
the bicycle. The remainder of the
delegates reached home Thursday
morning according to program, and
we want to assure the brethren and
siste,s OF our Lodge, who demon
strater their appreciation OF our
fidility to the good cause, by sending
us us delegates to the Dist. Lodge,
ut Ada, that we fully appreciate the
compliment.
Before this meeting. Ada had no.
other meaning to us, than n station
On the 9. N. X. r., but now pleasant
memories will cluster around the
place, and the friendships formed
there will ever be treasured by us.
And we hope all will feel MS we do
that it was good for us to be there.
Though wemay have accomplished
comparatively little; we were at oul.
post ready for duty, from first to-
last OF the session. We were happy
to be there and not ashamed to be
recognized as members OF the War
rem Lodge, which outnumbers any
that were represented there -butwe
are not as proud OF the quantit J, as
the quality Of our goods. There ia
comfort in security, and We know,
