MISS EDITH MILLER,

coNTRALTo
Nothing IA more interesting in the recent ad-
vsnces and improvements in musical instri-
ments than the demonstration Of the possibility
or constructing an agency through which any
piano can be artstically played.
This instrument is called the Plan. ana.
although less than year old. II has D. dy
created a sensation among musicians as al
as In the trade
II astonshes every who hears f. az the
contrast with hundreds Of music-boxss and
mechanical pianos is 80 marked
We do not ask you 10 believe any Of our stats-
roents which cannot be substa inflated by hear-
ing the instrument.
All we ask Is enough consideration OF cur
claims to induce you to investigate them.
In Eolians every year sees constant I'm
provement In the quality and number Of the
instruments produced.
The field occupied by the 4Solian 10 sornewhat
different from that which the Pianoa nils.
While the Pianola plays plano pieces OF all
descriptions the Agoan Is most remarkable for
It's ability to reproduce the great orchestral
works.
The point that we wish 10 emphasize about
both instruments is that the purchaser OF sther
has got something which 10 to be pernansne
source Of pleasure TO him. and worth In ehS
way more than II ever costs him.

ODD FELLOWS Celebrate
EIGHTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF
THE ORDER.
From a Small Beginning in Baltimore
1t has Spread All over the World
Tonght's Program.

The eightieth anniversary of odd Eel
lowship will be celebrated this evening
by the odd Fellows of the jurisdiction
of the Sandwich Islands,"
odd Fellowship has a good deal to be
proud of and the members of the local
lodges are thoroughly imbued with zeal
for the order. 1t is this spirit that
gives their annual celebrations such
zest and will make the one tonight an
occasion of interest.
odd Fellowship had very humble be-
ginnings in the city of Baltimore when
the first lodge with only a few mem
bers was instituted April 26, 1919. There
was doubtless some connection in
thought and purpose and perhaps too
in personal relation between the first
membership in this odd Fellow lodge
and the Manchester Union of England.
But odd Fellowship grew up as an in
dependent organization working out
aims in its own way, and increasing
amazingly in numbers, until now.
eighty years from its inception, much
less than century, it numbers nearly
a million members, $500 in 1897 scat
tered all over the world.
1t was early introduced into these
Islands, Excelsior Lodge being organ
lied December 10, 1916, making it old
er than any other Odd Fellow lodge
west of the Rocky Mountains, and
perhaps west of the Mississippi. For
a time it was under the jurisdiction of
the Sovereign Grand Lodge and tn IN
was attached to the Grand Lodge of
California. This arrangement was not
wholly satisfactory, however, and it
was again constituted a separate jur-
isdiction attached to the Sovereign
Grand Lodge. 1t has grown i'm strength
and numbers with the growth of he
order everywhere. until there are now
two subordinate lodges one encamp-
ment and two Rebekah lodges.
The celebration this evening will bt
at Progress hall and under the direC.
ton of a committee of twelve, of which
DR.. Rodgers is chairman, representing
evey odd Fellow organization in the
| jurisdiction. H. H. Williams is the
| chairman of the floor committee, anC
| the reception committee consists OF
/ two each from each lodge. Following
the literary and musical program there
! will be refreshments.
The program is as follows:
Selection-Amateur Orchestra, Wral

FURNACE NO. |
OF SLOSS Co,
viii Resume Operations Some
Time in the Early Part
of May.

Furnace No. of the Sloss Iron and Steel
Company will go in blast some time during
the first of May. This furnace has been
out of blast for some time undergoing the
customary repairs.
1.-THE furnace has been ready for opera
ton for a month or two" said Secretary
1--WE have only been-waiting for the mar
ket to justify another furnace. OF course
the preparations for blowing it in is suff-
Gent evidence that we think the time pro-
pitious."
Mr.. Mcqueen said that the market re-
NAMED steady. There had been no indi-
cations of an advance during the past few
days. Some buyers were holding off on
the ground that there would soon be a
slump but he did not look for this any
time soon.
One fact which augurs well for the iron
market is that the stock of pig iron on
hand is running very low. The total stock
on hand in the United States on April l,
1885, was about 600 tons, while on the
same day this year it had decreased to
about 146 900 tons. The total stock on hand
in Alabama and Georgia on April l was
1888 tons.
.Sloss Company will not have a single stack
idle. and not really big furnace in the
entire district will then be cold.
