attention. 1t helps in business,
helps good looks, helps make
friends, helps get situations and

rumor that this change is to be
made in the near future and there
is good grounds for the belief that
this will be done. Alexander

same men decided to make the or
ganization a national one and in
forming their plans we're attracted
to the name of Eagles by the sight
of large eagle soaring from one
mountain peak to another with its
illustrated impression Of things Of
a higher order.
Mr.. Shanklin closed his talk by
comparing the growth and organ
ization of local lodges in Texas and
with the statement that Amarillo
aerie represented the largest new
lodge in the state.
The main hall used for the dane
ing was beautifully decorated with
the emblems of the order, while

The Grand March was led by
Mr.. Robt. Clark and Mrs. Gus Hol-

quadrilles and shottishes. The
dancing continued to a late hour

in by the guests,
The tables were arranged in the

In Choosing a Home.

There are so many features to
consider in choosing a place for a
permanent residence. 1t is ques-
ton of great Importance to ones
family as we'll as ones self, and
there are many features of vital
Importance to take into considera-
ton. A healthful climate should be
foremost, for prosperity is but a
poor blessing when there is con-
slant i'll health, If the bitter, rig
orous winter of the north, the close
sultry summers of the south, or the
low malaria infested regions are
not suited to ones temperament,
then choose sections with medium
winters, pleasant summer or of
sufficient altitude to be free from
malaria and disease.
Such is the Panhandle of Tex
as, not the long bitter cold
winters, but enough cold weather
to insure crops. No long hot sui
try summers, but Away a fine
breeze sweeping over these great
plains, and heat prostrations never
occur.
The altitude not too high, but
sufficient to make malaria, chills
and ague a perfect Stranger.
A county with sufficient rainfall
to insure crops, and where it falls
during the season when it is need
ed, According to the US. Wealth
er Bureau at Amarillo, there has
been an average of % inches per
annum of rainfall during the past
thirteen years, and to date during
1905, more than % inches.
The deep we'll water is pure and
wholesome, free from alkali and
impurities.
The convenience to schools and
churches should be we'll in mind,
for it is not just or right to deprive
ones family of the opportunities of
education and the influence Of the

cate too distant from market, for
of what use to raise stock or grain
when the expense Of marketing 1t
consumes all the profit9 In many
new countries it takes years to &C
oomplish these things.
Then the land conditions are to
be carefully studied, A country
where diversified farming is pos
sible is always most profitable and
prosperous, If one crop fails
another helps out in the emer-
gency.

tons are most favorable for such

EAGLES ENTERTAIN
Local Aerie Entertains Large num-
Der of Friends Wednesday
Evening in Grand Ball.

Notwithstanding the inclement
weather one of the largest crowds
in the history of Amarillo society
attended the reception and grand
ball given by the local acre of
Eagles in their hall at the Carson
building Wednesday evening,
The event was grand success
in every particular and marks the
initiation of social functions which
will follow during the entire winter.
Grand Deputy Organizer J. L..
Shanklin of the Eagles was a guest
of honor upon the occasion and in
a very entertaining manner spoke
of the growth OF the Eagles and
the fraternity and brotherhood of
this rapidly growing organization
which now numbers it's members
by the hundred thousand. He
told how the order from an origi-
nal membership of five formed in
Seattle in 1898 it has grown to be a
fraternal organization of over 800,
900 members and one of the fore
most societies of the land.
The organization and growth Of
this order has been phenomenal and
is clearly a demonstration of the
popularity of fraternalism and
brotherhood so strongly featured in
the American people. The five
men who first interested them
selves in a fraternal organization Of
this order called it the "Oraer OF
Coed Things" ana in its genera

that the order had been prepared. An

the companies as to the conditions of
the leases. In some cases, where the
information could not be obtained any
other way, these spies represented
themselves to be employees of the com
panies and thus got what they desired.

present included Ambassador Porter
