Bro. W. c. Parke, P. G., presented an
interesting history of Excelsior Lodge,
as follows:
On the 18th. day of October, 1916. the
American brig Henry, Capt. Knburn in
command. arrived from Newburyport,
Mass. On her was Bro. Gilbert Watson,
P. G., a physician by profession, who
had left home for Oregon, but on his
arrival in Honolulu, concluded TO re-
main. The master and second officer OF
the vessel also belonged TO the Order.
Bro. Watson had in his possession a

Fellows. wherever he thought there was
an opening. On inquiry he found three
members of the Order in the town. Aft
er consulting with these members, he
called a meeting. when it was decided
to form a lodge, and two days later,

OF Odd Fellows endeavors to surround
its members and those with whom they

Of all national banks, it lacks but

In his annual report Secretary Will

alton that the corn crop Of 1904 alone

is so profitable that from it's proceeds
the farmer could have paid the ma
tional debt and left big surplus in
the treasury.
The hens have produced during the
year one and two-thirds billions of
dozen eggs-enough each month to
pay a years interest on the national
debt.
The value of the total products OF
the farms for the year is estimated
AT $4,000. 100000 even after excluding
the value OF farm crops fed to live
stock. This is 9.65 per cent more
than the value OF the crops of 1908
and S1.2S per cent above that for
the census year 1899.
The increase in capital invested in
agriculture since 1900 is estimated
at $4,000 O0oO.oOO This is exclusive
of the increase in farm land values.
Bank deposits have increased from
1896 to 1904, in Iowa. 164 per cent.
in Kansas PIG per cent and in Mis-

increase for the whole country is 81
