SOVEREIGN GRAND LODGE I. o. o. F

The formal opening of the S1st annual
convention of the sovereign grand lodge
of the Independent Order of Odd Eel
lows took place in Philadelphia, Sept.
18th. The initial exercises were held
in Lulu Temple, which was entirely
Inadequate to accommodate the crowds.
Every jurisdiction of the order in the
United States was represented at the
conclave. The opening exercises con-
sisted of an address of welcome by
Mayor Weaver and addresses by Mel
vile f. Churbuck, grand master: Cleon
Glcquelais, grand patriarch; Mrs. Anna
Morrow, president of Rebekah assem-
ly, and Major Gen. BLAIR Andrews, de
par,ment commander.
simultaneously with this ceremony
Were held the prize drills of the patri-
archs militant in the second regiment
armory. Colonel j. S. Batroff, OF Phila-
delphla, assistant inspector general and
secretary of the Patriarchs Militant,
was in command. The competition
was keen and prizes were awarded at
the conclusion of The drills.
Later i'll the day, competitive degree
work of lodges, encam pments and Re
bekah lodges took place in Lulu Tenn
pie.
According to Grand Sire Wright,
among the specially important matters
to be considered during the conclave
is the subject of the Patrlarchs Militant
branch OF the order. The test of eli
glUlllty to that branch is membership
in the encampment branch, which has
about 10000 members, about II per
cent of whom are in the subordinate
lodges, the basis Of admission to the
militant. Pie total number Of lodge
members is 100000. 1t the change
be made and the same percentage of
lodge members 90 into the militant as
now go in from the encampment, the
militant branch will reach a member
ship OF 100000. 1t now has $4,000. 1t
would then be the strongest uniformed
fraternal organization in the world.
The grand lodges will consider the
question of extending the order in
Porto Rico, San Domingo and Scotland.
The report of Grand Sire Wright
shows the total subordinate lodge mem
bership to be 1,217, l45; encampment
membership, III, $50; Rebekah member
ship, 474,059; number of subordinate
lodges, 14,315; expenditures for relief,
81, 633, $40; total revenue, s13, 63S, 791;
total resources, $37,G45,01. Contin-
uing, the report states:
''The increase in membership of our
subordinate lodges was IS, 724; in the
encampment branch, $500; in the Re-
bekah branch, 26,39l; making a total
increase of 1O2, 1O5. The patriarchs mil
liant will show u decrease in member
ship, but that decrease is only nominal
and doubtless results from the clearing
out of names that did not represent
active members of that branch. The
increase in receipts for the year was
S75l,077. The increase in resources,
s2,974,951, and the increase in relief,
1907, 139.
''rhe militant branch alone in our
organization fails to show substantial
progress. There has been loss in
membership during the year of little
over 300. This condition of affairs in
my Judgment demands immediate at
tention and perhaps radical measures"

GAZE OF ROADS IN THE FALL.

To THE MUNICIPAL OFFICERS AND
ROAD COMMISSIONERS OF MAINE: The
season is at hand when we may expect fall
perience and observation are often very de-
structive 20 our roads. have known of in
stances where months work on piece of
road was nearly washed away in one Sc
we're storm of the fall.
l would suggest that you consider
range with several trustworthy men of
good judgment, one in each section Of your
town, to patrol given length of road each
time severe rain storm is in progress dur
ing the coming fall, his special care being
to remove from bitches and culverts all OBJ
structions to free flow of water and to
turn water from the road into the bitches
wherever it is seen. He should also see
that water is turned out of the bitches and
away from the road at every opportunity.
In billy sections, especially, a man on the
road attending to these things during
storms may often prevent damage to the
road that would cost many times days
pay to repair, to say nothing of the incon-
venience and danger to travel resulting
from washouts that would be avoided by
immediate attention.
1t is simply an application of the old
adage, ga stitch in time saves nine'' which
it is well for you to bear in mind in con-
nection with all maintenance work.
If you believe this would save time and
money for your town act on the suggestion.
Do it now.

Apple Trees As An Investment.

to certain extent in our State. Why
