WEATHER AND CROPS
Lack of Rain Is Discouraging to the
Farmers

= 0A 4ACA0
Following is the United States depart
ment of agriculture climate and crop serv-
Ices weekly crop bulletin for Southern
California:
The storm which set in on the oath inst.
did not extend further south than the
northern portions Of Orange county, north
of which section there were general show
ers but mostly light, except In the vicinity
of Point Conception, where the rainfall
was quite heavy. Growing grain and pas
ture were benefited by the rains. but unless
copious showers occur within tie next few
weeks It Is scarcely probable that crops
will mature, though in sections there are
indications of a light crop of hay. The
warm weather is bringing out fruit buds
quite FAST early peaches and apricots are
blooming quite freely, and citrus trees are
commencing to show buds. Almonds are
blooming earlier than usual in sections.
Some loquats are ripe in Orange county.
Irrigating orchards continues.

A Mississippi Mob

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March Erred
Moore, the murderer of Tom Anderson,
was taken from the county Jail at Sena-
tobia, Miss, at 2:3O o'clock this morning
and shot to death by a mob of fifty per-

relied about some trivial matter. Moore
followed his man and shot him five
times, afterwards placing the body on
the railroad track to hide the crime.
There were several witnesses, however,
and soon Moore was behind the bars.

A Mighty Family.

What a mighty family is the A.
o. u. w. at the present time-num-
herring about three hundred and
seventy thousand - grown from
thirteen, about thirty years ago.
And it is destined to grow greater
and more great as the years slip by,
for as it's principles becomes better
known it increases in popularity.
Its insurance is certain and its fra
ternity unquestioned. Since its be-
ginning it has raised and expended
over one hundred and sixty millions
of dollars for tire purpose of bene-
fiting the widows and orphans of
deceased members, to say nothing
of much more in the way of bene-
fits to its sick aud disabled brethren.
1t is an improvement over all other
life ASSURANCE. boiies; lis fraternity,
its social lodge meetings and it's
benefits to its sick and disabled
members; and its pledges are in
vnriahly kept. 1t is brotherhood
already united aud strong, and vet
il gaius strength "a the years roll
by. 1t pays the dues and keeps up
the status of it's members who may
take the chances of war, and the
member who shoulders gun and
goes in the ranks to battle, feels
sure that ~ lie went of his death
his loved ones at home will be pro-
tected. He knows that in case he
should fall by the bullet of the foe
man, his widow and orphans will
be provided for as sure as the sun
shall rise and -et.-Kentucky Work

It would be an erroneous view to
hold that because a member takes
a lesser sum of insurance in our
Order he should pay less Ledge dues.
The fact il, Lodge dues and pro-
lection are quite distinct in the
members relation to our Society.
In the Masonic fraternity we pay
higher sum in dues than in the A.
o. U w., though there is no insur-
ance attached in the A. F. & A. M. i,
but the dues have their equivalent
in good fellowship and social rela-
tions. So in our Society the MEM
ber gets full value for the dues he
pays, in the fraternal fellowship
and associations he enjoys apart
from the protection his beneiciaries
receive. If a member is overtaken
in distress there is no distinction
made in helping him, whatever the
amount of the certificate may be,
and al the privileges If the Order
are his, irrespective of the sum in
sured for. 1t is therefore, fair and
Just to have IA uniform rate of Lodge
dues for all members who enjoy an
equality of the social and fraternal
privileges, and the sympathy and
helpfulness membership secures.
Lodge dues stand apart from insur-
ance, and stand in the same rela-
ton to our Society as contributions
to the Church stand to its members,
for which fellowship and mutual
interest afford full reward.-Cana-
dian Workman.

Whatever adds, even in the small
est way, to the worlds brightness
and cheer, is worth while. One
who plants flower in bare place
where only bleakness was before, is
a benefactor. One who says an
encouraging word to a dishenrtened
ed neighbor, gives look of love to
a loneIy one, or speaks q sentence
which may become strength, guild
ance or comfort to another, all do
something worth while. We. never
know how small thing may be-
come a beneiic,ion to human life.

what Occasions Success

The success of an Order does not
wholly depend upon its officers.
The membership is just as response
bile for the condition of things as
the officers, and in a majority of
cases, are more SO. The prosperous
condition of so many OF our camps
is largely due to the fact that the
membership take an active interest
in all things pertaining to the
camps welfare. The officers of II
camp, may be ever so Jealous,
prompt and painstaking, and yet if
the membership does not heartily
second these efforts, that camp will
not flourish or grow, but will grad
ually decline and finally go into a
s,at- # inactivity. We have heard
of members complaining for half
hour on the floor of the camp about
an officer who has been absent from
one meeting, when he himself had
not been to Il meeting for some
months prior to the one at which
he was complaining at the absence
of the officer. When his attention
was called TO the fact, he put it off
by saying, "Oh, | am only mem
berl" Now supposing every mem
her OF that camp had done aS this
one, it would have made little diff
ference whether the officers attended
the camp meetings ar not. An or
ganization to be prosperous, needs
the cooperation of everyone con-
n-cted with it, officers and members
alike.-Pacifc Woodman.
