ODD FELLOWS
ANNIVERSARY

Myrtle Lodge, No S58, |. 0. 0. F.,
of this city, celebrated its 3Oth anniv-
orsary Saturday evening.
The event was decided success, a
large assemblage being present, incIud-
ing the wives, children and friends Of
the members.
After singing the opening ode fray
er was offered by the Chaplain, David
II. Reed A quartette consisting of
John Henuing, William f. Keim and
Walter and George Lunger, rendered
" Lead, Kindly Light, " with very nice
effect.
The address of the evening was de-
livered by Rev. DR. Mccormack, pas
tor of Grove Presbyterian church The
speaker touched on the principles up
on which Odd Fellowship is founded ;
he declared there is nothing in the
order autagonistic to the Christian
church and dwelt upon It's vast oppor-
tunity for accomplishing good by
relieving distress and providing for
! the widows and the fatherless
Two rccitations were rendered by
Miss Jennie Lovett in her usual able
manner Selections were also recited
by Miss Vastine and Miss Edna
| Hughes, both of whom won applause.
Solos we're sung by Walter Russell
and Miss Madge Sanders, both efforts
pleasing the audience very much.
After the program was rendered re.
freshmeuts consisting of ice cream,
cake and candy, were served to the
audience.
One of the features not down on the
program was the introduction of n
large Billy goat, which was led around
through the audience much to the de.

fancied they were being permitted tC

Demand for Horses,

Reports from 325 cities in the United
States collated aud embodied in re-
port to the national convention of
Master HCrseshoers, held last week in
St. Paul. showed the usual increase in
the use of horses and that the demand
for them is constant and without
fluctuations, Notwithstanding the talk
that she automobile and electric wag-
ons and carriages were sending Dob
bin" to the boneyard. The demand
for good horses all over the country is
as great as it was before the automobile
came into use, and the prices are rs
high. While there is little doubt that
the perfection of cheap and durable
storage battery, suitable for all forms
of trucking, would displaCe many
horses in the larger cities, greatly
the problem of street
cleaning, 1t is hardly probable this
would have an appreciable effect upon
the general demand for horses. or that
it would discourage in any degree the
breeding of hiRh-priCed horsetiesh. 1t
was asserted at one time the bicycle
would have an effect on horses, IN
lesspning demand for driving purposes
But electric street railways and rapid
transit advance, saving IN farming on
demand for horsehesh, though mach

Why Potato Digging is Late.

a few potatoes still remain to be
dug. This seems pretty late, but a
farmer who was in this city yesterday
stated that late digging has been dis
covered to be a remedy for rotting
when a crop shows a disposition to
go that way. The theory is that the
longer they are left in the ground the
more mature and hardy they become
and thus more effectively resist decay
Potatoes it now appears, are some
thing less than an average crop this
year. They can still be bought in
market for fifty cents per bushel, but
at many places they are sold from the
farms at sixty cents per hushel.

Dieting Invites Diseases.

To cure Dyspepsia or indigestion it
is no longer necessary to live on milk
and toast. Starvation produces such
weakness that the whole system be-
comes an easy prey to disease. Kodol

and digestive organs to digest and as
simulate all of the wholesome food
that one cares to eat, and is a never
failing cure for indigestion, Dyspepsia
and all stomach troubles. KodoI di-

address OF Dr. Rose A. Bower, Med

effective speaker and told a story that
was full of information and aboun4-

WILL GUT
FREE RADIUS

After November LIST Shamokin will
be eliminated from the free radius of
the United Telephone and Telegraph
Company There has been a general
shortening up of the free radius over
the entire system rendered necessary
by its increasing popularity and growth
of business When the system first
went into operation the trunk lines
found it an easy matter to accommo-
date all the business between different
towns As patronage increased, how
ever, the lines being free, a congestion
naturally onsucd with the result that
the service at the present is by no
means of the best, the patrons in the
different towns meeting with frequent
and annoying delays in their efforts to
communicate.
What adds somewhat to the conges-
tion is the fact that the U. 7. & T.
Co. is made a vehicle for carrying the
business of the Boil Telephone Com
pany which has put phones in many
towns at greatly reduced rates but
