Col. John M. Caldwell Is Made Presi- dent and Z.@T. Rudulph Is Vice. President-Many Candidates
 for Next lnitiation.

With a membership of 300, Dam No. 1 of the Independent Order of Beavers was inaugurated in Eagles hall last night, and a new order was launched upon the sea of benevolent fraternities
 Though dams are being organized in Att lanta, Chattanooga and other cities of the United States. Birmingham has the honor and distinction of inaugurating the first. Practically all of the supreme officers live here, and they will be kept busy for the next few months arranging for the organ ization and installation of dams through out the United States.
 On account of the large crowd which took the obligation last night, It was gcpnd impracticable to go through all the secret work, and this was abandoned until next Wednesday night, when nearly a hundred candidates will be initiated.
 The following officers were elected and will be installed a week from last night: President, J. M. Caldwell.
 Vice president, Z T. Rudulph
 Chaplain, w. B. McGaughy.
 Secretary, w. D. Gresham
 Treasurer, E. J. Chisolm.
 Guardian, Jessie Lee.
 SAdHllneTs LIT. J. Blckley. Trustees, R. N. Rhodes. James Kelso, John l.. Parker.
 The officers of the supreme dam were also announced last night:
 Supreme president, R. S. England.
 Supreme vice president, N. N. Kant. Supreme chaplain, J. B. Bicknel
 Supreme past president, J. E. English. Supreme secretary. H. w. English.
 Supreme treasurer, D. L.. Higdon.

 Supreme guardian, Harry Haynes.
 Supreme sentinel, l.. W. Friedman.
 Supreme organizer, w H. Fruitticher. Supreme trustees, W. IT. Fruitticher, H. " English and H. M. Dozier.
 Happy speeches were made by Colonel Caldwell and z. T. Rudulph in accepting the offices to which they were elected, and both predicted great success for the new order. They told of the habits of the beaver and how much could be done for humanity if the members of the dam would follow the example set by this in- dustrious little animal.
 After the speeches had been concluded and the work of the night was done the following closing ode of the dam was sung to the air of Home Sweet Home:" God bless our noble order,
 And keep us always true;
 Oh guide us with Thy hold hands
 In all that we may do.
 And when our dam is finished,
 And we shall work no more,
 May all the Beavers meet again
 Upon Thy heavenly shore.
 After the singing of this ode the dam was declared closed and the members were served with refreshments.

secure and hold moneys and property, to erect churches, to aid churches to erect buildings and also to erect build ings. and to transact any other business which may become necessary to further the work in the county.
 Under the old bylaws and constitution members were required to pay sio mem- bership. This money went to aid in the erection of churches and chapels. Under the new constitution there will be both active and honorary members. The for mer will pay S1O dues annually, while the latter will be entitled to honorary membership if they have at any time in the past paid s1O for membership in the society
 The society has already built several places of worship in the district and as- sisted in the erection of other buildings, and 1t is the intention to bend every en- ergy to that work now. The society is planning to erect at least one church this year, and possibly two or three.
 A revival of interest has been mani- fested in. and at the meeting yesterday there were ten active members added to the society. It has accomplished great good, and with the broadened ideas and work. it is thought that the next year will show much work accomplished.

Zionism. 'Zionism-let us not desplse 1t because like the hope in the coming of a personal Messiah, 1t is a sentiment which rose from the emotional depths of the Jewish heart, but let us not embrace 1t as a part of our faith and as the only means of salvation for the persecuted Jew Whilst we sympa- thize with the Zionists because of the un- favorable aspects their cause has assumed since the last Basic congress, we also em- phaize that Zonism Is foreign to the spirit of the optimistic Judaism as we hold 1t dear.
 In Memoriam. "The sad duty devoves upon me to give public expression of our sorrow, as an as- sociation at the loss we have sustained in the demise of that loyal champion of Ju- daism and of that noble man, Leo N. Levi, in the departure from this sublunar world of that erudite scholar and eminent rabbi. Dr. Marcus Jastrow, and of the death of that eminent English philosopher. Herbert Spencer Death has certainly aimed it's shafts at shining marks and has dealt a signal blow to the fairest flowers of hu- manity We will in due time honor their memory during our sessions.
 Recommendation

 But how few realize that Royal Baking Powder in its chief ingredient Is direct prod- uct of the healthfl and delicious grape! This constituent of the grape crystallized and ground to an impalpable powder is the cream of tar tar which forms the active principle of every pound of Royal Baking Powder.
 Fruit properties are indispensable to the heathfulness of the body, and those of the grape as used in the Royal" are the most valuable and healthful of all. Hence 1t Is that Royal Baking Powder produces food superlative both in flavor and wholesomeness.
