Dear Bill:
You remember, of course, the
story of the wonderful Hindu ma
gician, which we believed all over
the United States. The favorite
one is the yarn of the coniurer
who losses a rope into the air
which boy climbs until he dis
appears in the clouds. From all
I have heard from residents in In
dia this Is a huge nature fake.
The Hindu magicians are reason
ably clever sleight of hand per-

.opsBring High
Prices Now

Pierce county hop growers are
undecided as to whether to con-
tract their crops at the present
high price of 35 cents or to wait
for a probable increase. Hops have
risen from rs cents pound a few
weeks ago to 35 cents, the highest
price paid for hops in the last 20
years. The sudden raise In price
is said to be due to the large
of the article wanted in
Germany and other European
countries on account of the large
drouths of those nations.

The Grand Secretary has copy OF
the Ancient Ritual of the Patriotic
Order of Odd Fellows" as revised by
the Grand Lodge at London, England,
in March, 1897, and it is probable
that the Order at that date had been
in existence many years.
The Manchester Unity of the Inde.
pendent Order of Odd Fellows was
organized in 1913 by a union of lodges
in Manchester and outlying districts
and the Manchester Unity was only
one of the many Orders of Odd Eel
lows that existed in England.
In the history of Odd Fellowship in
the United States the institution OF
Washington Lodge No /, at Baltimore
Maryland, April 26. 1919, seems to
have been fixed upon as the begin

1.952,421 brothers and sisters belong

expended for relief during the past
year s5.356,925.S9. It's resources
amount to $5S.156,91O.14. The subor.
dinate lodge alone numbers 1,543,0S6,
encampment membership 217,533, Re-
bekah, 633,615. and Patriarchs Mill
tant 24,351. If this vast army of fra
ternal workers should clasp hands,
they would form an unbroken chain
over 1900 miles long.
The relief for the past year
amounted to about $500 per minute
night and day. It is to be remem-
bered that this vast sum of money is
not paid out In large sums, as life in
surance, but is paid out in small
amounts to relieve distress and as
timely aid during sickness and ad.
versity, to prevent distress. In addi-
tion to these millions of dollars paid
out for relief by lodges, there are vast
sums expended which come from
gifts from members to those in need
and these do not find expression in
the financial reports. The Order is
also maintaining homes for the care
OF the old and INDECENT members and
homes and .orphanages for children,
