be held on Thursday, September u, at
Friendship" the country home of Mr..

petition, and is to be awarded to the COM

it's resident members present in full Tenn
plar uniform, and to be retained by the
winning commandery until the next field

The commandery winning the flag for three
consecutive years will become the owner
of it.
"a handsome silk pennant will be pre-
scented by the Grand Commandery to the
commandery exhibiting the highest pro-
fciency in drill, to be retained by the win
ming commandery. until the next field day.
and to be annually contested for until 1t
shall be won by the same commandery
three consecutive years, when it will be
permanently awarded to such commandery
Admission to the grounds will be by cards,
which will be literally furnished to all sir
knights for their families and friends upon
application to the recorders of the several
Communicates or to the grand recorder.
Special car service between the hours Of
9:3O am. and $3.50 pm. will be provided on
Wisconsin avenue, connecting with the Cap
ital Traction line at NJ street, and with the
Metropolitan line at o and p streets. The
signal success of the field day of last year
gives promise of greater interest in this
occasion.

be inaugurated for great gala week in
Washington early in the spring. II is too
late now to get the merchants here for the
purchase of their winter goods.
Most of the stocks have been ordered and
are now. on the way to their destination.
But the work of the Jobbers and Shippers
Association is not that Of a week or q
month. If 1t can get things lined up for
an active campaign late in the year its
members will be satisfied. Their represent
alive will convince the southern merchants
of two things: First, that the Greater
Washington is assured, and second that the
Jobbers and Shippers Association is in the
forefront of the fight that will result in the
Greater Washington.
Conditions to Be Watched.
1t is understood that Mr.. Clum will make
a report in each town that is visited, show
ing the number of merchants who are now
dealing with Washington jobbers and whole
salers, the number who are dealing else
where and the reasons offered for their
preference. While Mr.. Clum will be sup.
posed to present all of Washington's argu-
ments to these merchants who are dealing
elsewhere. the best results are anticipated
from careful investigation following his
report.
The watchword of the Jobbers and Ship
pers Association will be quality of
goods In the race for commercial SUI
premacy many towns or cities gain the rep
LOT DelnS cheap. The I'M
progressive country merchant still clings to
the idea that if he can buy cheap goods in
certain city he should avoid the quail
ity goods In this way some of the large
jobfng centers have the reputation of being
cheap markets. And as such they are
avoided by the progressive merchants. The
representative of the Jobbers and Shippers
Association will tell the southern mer-
chants that while they may be able to pur-
chase cheaper in some other city, they
must come TO Washington if they want the
best goods and the most courteous treat
ment. Me. Clum will be loaded down with

Mark Twain Took the Girl Home.

From the Peoples Magazine
At a recent meeting of the Smith College
Club, in New York, Mark Twain was the
chief speaker, and told the audience of "a
memory of my youth. that has remained
with me all this time. When l was living in
St. Louis with my mother, ninety-five years
ago; when l was comparatively young,
lovely young creature of sixteen came to
pay us a visit. When she entered a room
a general sweetness was diffused. 1 was
paralyzed. 1 wasn't really myself I was
diffident then. My mother suggested that
I, being seventeen, show the sweet girl
some attention, but l hadn't the courage
Take her to the theater, said my mother
So 1 took her thirteen blocks downtown
on foot. I never had presence of mind in
my life until next day. Then realized that
I should have gone around twenty-six
blocks.

of seats as long as this. During the first
act I was comfortable with the joy Of
being there with her. But the second act
was not SO comfortable. had my Sunday
boots on. They were No. 9, and my size
was No. 8. Thus thee boots began to get
very tight. At last I had to find relief and
pushed one off a little. The heavenly
change was SO bissful that the other foot
got more urgent. AS one cannot linger on
the verge of absolute perfection pushed
both of until they were dangling. Then
there was nothing in the way of happiness
until the curtain went down for the last
time. and the people rose and wanted to
go right of. / was trying to get my boots
on. couldn't have got hand In. /

The determination of the association to
serd a representative was made by the
board of directors at it's meeting last
Thursday. While the idea had been
preached before by individual members it
was informally considered Il matter to be
taken up later in the fall. but the offer
OF The Star to take a representative as a
member of the boom party on its pecial

oh! Listen to the Lemon.
From the Denver Post.

FROM the Denver rust
Jeff Nelson did fine trick on the
Fourth of July" says the Paw Paw Bazoo
of Saturday. He strolled out by the
bandstand while the band was under way
and began sucking lemon. Just imagine,
If you can, what the effect was. Twenty
of the brightest uniformed musicians in
the state were playing when Jef came near
with his lemon. The band caught sight of
him without delay and from that on II
was hard to tell what they were rendering
as music. They started on MY Country.
IT'S of Thee it is true, but what did thew
end on? Some say 1t was Everybody
Works but Father and others declare il
was Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie
But whatever IL was don't extenuate
JEFF. His lemon certainly played hob
with the band and he ought to have a good
swift kick where his pants hang loose.
No more such foolhardy antics. Jeff. or
you may lose the respect OF the entire
community. let alone being beat up by
the band"

Reflect ed beauty is only surface decoration and for that reason transient affair. Remove the true and bright colors which glow and burst forth from the genuine and honest heart and the dark nature of the deceptive stands out in it's pitchy blackness. No light, no warmth within itself it cannot ra- diate or shine. The moon is a reflect ed light and for ages has been connect ed with lunacy as it's cause. It's cold beams, creating somber shado ~s, like grewsome, ghostly figures close at the heels of it's frightened victim, drives him into a chamber of horrors. The
