Monday night Sovereign G. G.
Farmer, of Omaha, Neb., visited
Bolivar in the interest of the Wood
men of the World. The local camp
had previously arranged a program,
which was successfully carried out.
Despite the threatening weather, q
large audience was present. The
Judges stand was tastefully deco.
rated with flowers, flags and the
emblem of the order. The. exercis
es opened with song by the choir.
The address of welcome was deliver
ed by Hon. j. A. Foster. Miss
Katharine Lambert recited to the
delight of the audience. The sub
iect of Sovereign Farmers address
was "Fraternity and Homo Protec
ton" He spoke of the benefits tc
be derived from insurance, especial
ly fraternal insurance, and more es
pecially insurance in the WoodmeI
of the World, an order he sait
that is perfectly safe, in a growing
healthy condition and offers disting
uishing inducements. He spoke fol-
three-quarters of an hour. At the
conclusion of the address the choil
rendered selection and the audi
ence dispersed. The visit of Sow
ereign Farmer was highly appreci
ated by the local camp, and will nc
doubt result in increased efforts OIL
! the part of the members to induce
others to join the order.

Near the town of Williams. Arizona,

remarkable 1t looks like Il hundred
other hills, but it is quite different
from them. There is an opening about
two and Il half feet in diameter which
leads into n cavern. of what size no one
knows. The cavern IS filed with ice,
ut least Il solid bed of it appears close
below the opening. Tie people of Will
llams sometimes 20 out there and,
crawling through the hole. break off
pieces of the ice for use. The ice is
there summer and winter. No more is
known of its source than of the size
of the mass. Some think that its pres
ence is due to elements in the ground
that affect the water.

Many persons regard the winter sea-
son as an unfortunate visitation. 1t is
considered both uncomfortable to the
body and harmful to health. This is
an error. Cold is most potent agent
for the restoration and preservation OF
normal activity on the part of the Or
gans of the human body. 1t is wise
plan of providence which gives us a
change of seasons. The winter cold
comes as tonic to repair the injuries
done by the enervating heat of sum-
mer. Summer. it is true, has many
wise uses in the matter of health 1t
induces outdoor life, rids the system
of poIsons through copious perspira-
tion and through the scorching rays OF
sun destroys germ life. Winter Is the
great bracer of the system. II slim
ulates activity in every organ. When
cold attacks the surface of the body
the blood is set into more free circula-
ton as means of bodily warmth. 1t
is through the circulation of the blood
that the human anatomy is kept In n

circulation on the surface, caused by
the air coming in contact with the
skin, tends to nourish and thicken the

in winter just as animals are supplied
with a double coat of fur. The hav-
ages who dwell bareheaded in the open

immediate steps toward the purchase
of this historic ground by the state of

appointed to correspond with all pa
