EAST END ODD FELLOWS
PLAN $4,000 TEMPLE
SITE Chosen Tor Handsome Structure
Opposite Euclid Hotel.

Plans are now being formulated by
the Northern Lodge, No 339, 90 F.
for the erection of large commodi
Gus Odd Fellows Temple AT the south
east corner of W. Fifth street and
| Thompson avenue. The idea is tc
erect a three story brick building
with brown stone trimmings at cost
of not less than S25,O 900 The struC-
ture would have a frontage Of 70 feet
on w. Fifth street and a deyth of 15C
feet on Thompson avenue, The plan
is to provide three large stores or
the first Il oor fronting on the former
street. The second story would be
used for offices while the third floor
would be used for lodge purposes.
For some time the quarters of the
lodge in the Music hall have been in
adequate TO meet the increasing de.
mands of the organization which is
rapidly growing and numbers many
of the prominent business men OF the
East End At present all five of the
East End lodges are crowded into the
Music hall where the accommodations
are far from satisfactory 1t is
thought that should the new struc-
! ture be erected, that all or nearly all
these would be very glad to arrange
to occupy the new hall Jointly with
the Odd Fellows
The plan is to raise funds for the
new building through a cooperative

The Trained Farmer.

Farming is a great deal more than a
matter of choice, IL is a question OF
training and aptitude. Nobody would
expect gang of farm laborers to go
into a vacant cutlery shop and turn
out good knives and tableware. Yet
the. mechanic who has done nothing
but grind and finish knives all his life
is quite likely to talk as If q farm
were all he needed to become an eX-
pert farmer. His first attempt TO milk
cow or swing a scythe would show
him a thing or two. not TO mention
such a task as laying drain, budding
fruit tree, tending sick animal or
even to plow Il straight furrow in the
field The man who has picked up a
lot of general knowledge about farm
ing by reading books and papers Is
apt to forget that most of the work
consists of details that can be learned
only by experience. The learning Is
possible owing to the neighbOrly Kind
ness of most farmers Hard study
good sense and energy will also, as IN
other occupations, rapidly make up for
lack of early training. But the point
is that nobody should expect to become
a farmer all at once. For a beginner
