SHRINERS' VISIT


great caravan the shouts of delighted
thousands were heard.
There was not a single flaw, not a
single mistake in the entire program.
It was a matter of comment by the Of
f1cers of both of the visiting temples
that such a small band of determined
men in so small a city could have
made such a splendid success of their
undertaking, and it is said by those
who have seen Shrine meetings in
cities the length and breadth of the
land, that there never has been any
thing to equal IL in a city Of the size
of Hammond.
Today there are half a dozen men
who look back upon the time when
the feasibility of having a Shrine
meeting was first discussed and
thought impossible The matter was
taken UP with Elias Jacoby OF Murat
Temple. He asked If it would be pos
sible to get a class of twenty-five can
didates. DR.. Sharrer said 1t would.

equipment from Indianapolis, of pay
ing the car fare and expenses of the
patrols, bands and officers was found

! THE FAITHFUL MADE GOOD.
The faithful few started out to Sc
cure this number. That they were
successful is shown by the fact that
/ exactly 115 took the degree last Sat
urday night SO pleased were the of
licers of Murat Temple that they de
cided to give one-half of the fees tc
Garfield lodge after all of the expenses
had been paid. AS a result the loca
order will have 81 700 to $500 to ap
ply on the debt which still stands
against the Masonic Building associa
ton.
Perhaps the greatest good that hai
been accomplished by the remarkably
| achievement of Saturday is the fac
that in northern Indiana the prestig
of the Masonic order is greater thar
ever Dozens of Blue Lodge men tool

One noticeable thing about the thou
sands of men who came to Hammond
Saturday was their high average of
Character. It was easily seen that
most of them were from the higher
walks in life They were men of more
than average ability and intelligence,
and as good fellows, in the best sense
of the word. there are non to equal
them.
They were jolly and full of fun with
out being obtrusive and there was not
single instance of rowdyism or
drunkenness, not once instance of I'M

of fez wearers, Notwithstanding the
fact that the saloon, by special dis

until 2 o'clock in the morning. A

Despite the fact that efforts were

come up to expectations, the restaura

their report was presented, showing
that Mr. Hill was mistaken 1t Is

The outcome of the inquiry is con-
sidered highly important among the
department of agriculture officials and
members of the national conserva-

where there has been decrease OF
soil fertility it has been due to con-
tinued raising of crops without ferti-
