Gently wrote regarding it, and after
explaining why it would be i'm
possible to establish the routes at
once he went on to say: II feel
confident that some time during

your routes, both of them, into oper-

get them started but as soon as it is
possible to do so. I am very glad
indeed that Mr. Gutterson arranged
for two routes. The department
does not like to make such arrange

the proper officers and have secured
the promise that both of the routes
will be established although there

the routes are assured; let us be

their lives may be long and happy.
The bride is the daughter of our

known to everyone as young
woman of sterling worth, one who
needs no empty words to sound her
praise. The groom is young man
of good character, and their future
seems bright and promising. We

dreams Of youth are hardly ever
fully realized. Life has it's dark
days as we'll as it's sunny ones, and

The grand worthy president of
the Fraternal Order of Eagles has
just issued a circular letter to all
of the subordinate lodges of the
order prohibiting them from giving
carnivals or street fairs under the
name of the order. No doubt at the
next grand lodge meeting of the
order more decisive steps will be-
taken along this line, but in the
meantime the grand worthy presi-
dent has taken these steps which
are commendable and his decision
ought to be upheld by the large
