wnI Hold District Meeting.

A big district meeting to cele-
brate the 18th anniversary Of the
United Artisans is being planned to
be held In November by Capital
Assembly No. "a of this city
All the lodges in this section of the
valley will be invited to come to Sa-

tion.
The following poem was written
by Salem lady in commemoration
of the anniversary;
Lucky Thirteen.
We come again to celebrate
The luckiest day of all.
For many years the Artisans
Have answered every call,
Have paid insurance up to date;
Fraternity they know.
They bound themselves in love and
faith
Some thirteen years ago.
The Eastern States received In past
The money that we paid
For our insurance. till at last
This order grand was made
To keep our money all at home
In wealth that we might grow;
Twas founded out In Oregon
Just thirteen years ago.
Our business plans have now been
tried
And proved the very best.
Our Order is the growing pride
OF any. East or West,
Reserve grows stronger year by
year.
And all have come to know
Twas this that made our Order
great,
Since thirteen years ago.
We've cared for children small and
great.
And widows by the score;
And yet funds accumulate:
There's room for many more.
Five hundred thousand we have paid
No other lodge can show
A better record than we've made.
Since thirteen years ago.

Horrors of Vegetarianism.

Among the subjects OF the silly
season the use and Righteousness of
vegetarlaninm has come to the fore.
Ludlow Crofts has written to the
London Daily News In condemnation
OF the meat-eaters, and Douglas
Mumford makes spirited reply.
Here Is some of IL;
"I am inclined to wonder, he says,
that II. Ludlow Crofts has no.
starved ere this! His letters says
The usual classes of animals that
are used for food may suffer from
many OF the diseases which are COM
municable to The devourer.' And
for that reason he refuses to eat
meat. Mr.. Crofts also re-
marks on the thousands OF cafcases
which must be affected Is he not
also aware that every cabbage he
eats has been crawled over and nib
bled by slugs. snails and innumer-
able small field insects?"
Mr.. Mumford asks; "How can
Mr.. Crofts venture to risk his life
by eating food which has been thus
contaminated? presume his an
swer, and that OF his fellow vege-
tarians, would be that his vegetables
are washed before being cooked.
Granted, but has Mr.. Crofts ever
tried to wash slug or snail marks
from anything? Or does he think
that even the most careful and pro-
longed washing will rid a cabbage
or any other vegetable. of all its in
sects? II he does. let him wash one
as long as he likes. and then exam
Inc 1t under the miscroscope, He
Will be speedily undeceived."

Think of the tiny creatures con.

they ever think, when they eat their

SONNET.

o Earthl Thou hast not wind that blows
not music. Every weed of thine,
Pressed rightly, flows in aromatic wine;
And every little hedgerow flower that grows
And every little brown bird that doth sing
something greater than itself, and bears
A living word to every living thing,
Albeit holds the message unawares.
All shapes and sounds have something that is not
OF them A spirit broods amid the grass;
Vague outlines of the Everlasting Thought
Lie the melting shadows they pass;
touch Of Eternal prese1ce thrills
The fringes of the sunset and the hills.
