10 the Citizens of lola.

AS all OF you are doubtless aware,
the Grand Lodge, knights of Pythias,
voted, at its last session, to hold the
next meeting of that organization at
lola. 70 be thus chosen in prefer
ence to the other cities that were
competing for the prize was very
great compliment to our town, for it
meant that the several hundred men
who compose the Grand Lodge held
good opinion of lola and were anx-
ious to visit 1t.
In order that this good opinion may
still be held after the Grand Lodge
has met here, it will be necessary for
lola to show in a substantial manner
our appreciation of the visit. This
does not mean that we are expected
to board and lodge our visitors free
of charge. Knights of Pythias pay
their own way wherever they go. 1t
should mean, however, that we make
it as pleasant for them as possible by
driving them about the city and
furnishing them what public enter
tainment may be in our power. The
entertainment which they expect,
and which will give them the most
pleasure, aside from seeing our town,
is the presence here of as large a
number as possible of the Uniform
Rank of the order. The competition
Of these companies for the prizes of
fered to the best drilled amIng Them,
is always one of the most attractive
features of knights of Pythias
Grand Lodge meeting, not only to
the general public but also to mem
bers of the order
In order to assure the attendance
of the Uniform Rank it viii 10 noces-
sary as it has always been custom
airy, to offer cash prizes; and in order
to defray this and other necessary
expenses a sum of money, not less
than $1,000 and preferably $500, will
have to be pledged by the citizens OF
iOiHs vi committee
for that purpose will call upon you
soon for your contributions to this
fund, and the foregoing statements
have been made in order that all
may know how much money is need
ed and why 1t is needed.
We only wish to say in addition
that in our JUDGMENT lola has never
had an opportunity to invest $500 in
way that will be sure to bring
richer returns. The meeting will be
held the fret of next May. 1t will
bring to lola not less than fifteen
hundred men, from nearly every
town and city in the State. These
men will come at the beginning OF
summer, just when lola will be most
needing good lively start into the
activity of the summer after the en-
forced quiet OF the winter. Bring
these bright, ambitious, influential
men here, treat them loyalty fl

As Coburn Sees 1t.

In advising farmers to hold their
corn for better prices, Secretary Cob
urn said recently:

of Kansas are about to be confronted
with an opportunity for very judi
cious business move. Within the
next ninety days they will harvest
the greatest of all the great corn crops
that the state has ever produced. Elk

ity with Ligh prices and there
IL no sufficient reason for
believing this so far unvarying rule
is likely to be changed for the present
occasion. The moral of this is that
farmers should market as grain no
more of their present crop than is alb
solutely necessary. They would
rightly have considered themselves
favored and nightly prosperous
with yield lees by one hundred mil
lion bushels than they have now. If
they were to hold, as they could do
very comfortably, this extra hun

there is another shortage.

where the grower has suffered loss by

DR.. Rerrer Mell Satisfied.

Readers of the REGISTER will re-
member the announcement that Mr..
John b. Burger, of Hartford City,
Ind, was here last week seeking a
location tor a glass factory. The
main question to be settled was that
of securing gas. Mr.. Berger had al
ready investigated sufficiently to be
certain that he could obtain all the
materials he needed. the commercial
club conferred with him and halt q
dozen of them guaranteed him in
writing what he required. He left
for his home to report what terms he
had made to his associates and If
they are of the same opinion that he
expressed, lola will before another
year have glass factory on the list
of her active industries. The gentle
men of the commercial club who thus
went down into their own pockets to

POOR PAY OF MODELS.
A Calling That Is Full of Hardship
and Makes But Small
Return.

The amount of stuff that is written,
and presumably read, about models
nowadays leads one to suppose that the
life of these men and women is very
pleasant and delectable. Like most fig
ures of realistic" fiction, says the Phil
adelpha Press, this one is not quite
real. One of the few good models of
Philadelphia said the other day: For
class work get four dollars week and
work as many hours a day; going on
the stand at 81; 45 and posing until l2:45,
with rest of ten minutes in every 60.
The head model has to do just as much
posing of the body as any other, and
gets less money. However, it's one of
the few lines OF business where women
do better than men. The latter don't
seem to have the required bodily en-
durance. Put yourself in the most COM
Portable position and try to remain so,
unmoved, for five minutes, and you'll
understand something of what ! have
to go through for ten times that long
without break. For that reason most
models prefer to pose for male classes.
Men always have more consideration.
A woman painter will make you stand
till her own hand is tired with the
brush Yet in the studio of the most
considerate one must undergo torture.
There is lot of pity given to factory
girls, of which little might be ex-
tended to us, for the fact is that there is
no business in which a woman can en-
gage where she will suffer so much ia
tigue and get so little remuneration as
that of an artists model"

HOW TO HAVE A PICNIC.
lie Sure To Enjoy the
Occasion.

Before many weeks we will wake up
some fine morning to find out that the
leaves on the trees have begun to
blush with pride just before their fall
and that summer has gone. Then we
will hear from all sides: ooh, why
didn't | do this or that? intended to
all summer-but didn't get around to
it, and now it is too late!" says the
Detroit Free Press.
One of the things to be deplorcd will
be that more time was not spent in the
open air-at the parks, on the river
and at nearby country places. 1t is so
easy to set out the summer doing
nothing. But it is bad habit, for
when winter comes again II seems like
an old story and isn't half so welcome
as if the summer had been spent in com
plete change. This is genuine old-f sh-
Toned picnic season, and the picnic
ought not to be despised. Nothing is so
delightfully."- unconventional; and re-
taxation, of course, is the basis of rest.
But il is great mistake to think that
picnic is not n success unless the en-
tire party is reused out of bed at sun
rise and the lunch big enough to feed n
regiment. Quantity there must be, Of
course, for everybody expects to eat too
much, but more than anything else,
have the lunch dainty one. One
doesn't mind grasshopper or two in
the lemonade or a family reunion of
ants on the cake-butif the sandwiches
are thick and the cake is dry and other
things are in the same black list not
even picnic appetite will be satisfied.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Remember if you marry for beauty. thou bindest myself all thy life for that which, perehance, will neither last nor please thee one year; and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all.-Raleigh
 Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of Gods best gifts. It involves many things. but above all the power of going out of ones self, and seeing and appreciat- ing whatever is noble and loving in another.-Thomas Hughes.
 It is not work that kills men; 1t is worry. Work is healthy; you can hard ly put upon man more than he can bear. Worry is rust upon the blade It is not the revolution that destroys the machinery, but the friction. Fear se- cretes acids; but love and trust are sweet juices.-Beecher
 Hold sorrow till it's most selfish as- pect passes till it turns it's religious side to you; till time and experience and faith do their work; till we feel not it's gloom, but its glory; not it's cross, but it's crown. Do not, through any device, lose it's sanctifying infu- ence, the greatest loss the soul can meet.-J. Y. w Ware.
 Secure good name to myself by liv- ing virtuously and humbly, but let this good name be nursed abroad and never l be brought home to look 1nOu if Let others use it, for their own advantage; let them speak of it if they please; but do not thou use it at all but as an in- strument to do God glory and thy neighbor more advantage Let thy face, like Moses, shine to others, but make no looking glass for thyself.- Jeremy Taylor.
