Texas Odd Fellows Home gives the

with hardly an effort. The money

and the money expended in charita-

counted in millions of dollars. An
Odd Fellows Home in Roswell would
be a source of pride and a recon-
mendation of the town to the cOnsid-
Grafton of progressive people all
over the United States.
