American Mechanics.

John A. Logan, Council No. 20 o..
U. A. M. entertained Friday evening
in their quarters in the Foresters
hall,
1t was a pleasant occasion for the
large company in attendance. An
elaborate supper was served and the
evening was passed in a very pleas
ant social manner.
There was a program at the be-
ginning, and music was furnished by
the Ley Brothers mandolin club dur
ing the entire evening.
Chas Broughton was chairman of
the evening and called upon Mr.. HI
| F. McFadden who extended cordi-
| al to the ladies and the gentlemen
and the brothers who had accepted
the hospitality of the order for the
evening, later on in the program the
| gentlemen gave an address on pa
triotism and was then called on to
explain the object and the aim of the
order.
Ralph Gossage gave Aretmus Wards
oration,' Miss Laura Mink Ter gave
Barbara Fritchie and Colum bia Crum
Miss Chelene Conklin told of the
Bird with the Broken Pinion and
Miss Eta Coke gave recitation.
Supper was served after the pro-
gram, and about sixty people were
served.
The American Mechanics have been
organized in the city almost two
years now and the order is in a very
prosperous condition. The lodge has
a membership of about sixty mem
bers and it is built on fraternal lines.
1t is an American institution and one
of the requisites for membership is
that the candidate shall be an Ameri.
can born person. The lodge was
organized in the city, July 1,'9s. The
officers are:
G. Meader Council.

There is probability that The
Daughters of Liberty an auxiliary of
the lodge for, the ladies will be or
ganized in the city in a short time.
The entertainment of that evening
was the first of the kind that the
lodge has attempted but it will not
be the last social event that will be
given by them.

Does the above seem unkind? Let
word be said on the other side. The
vendor is no hypocrite and is not want

strong drinks and sells to everyone who
comes with the necessary shekels, over
riding every barrier that stands in the
way. He takes no delight in violating
law, though he openly does SO when ne
cessity seems to require it. Could he
sell liquors without producing drunken
ness he would grady do so.
The High school and College hold in

of so many years of toll, whom they
