ceived in good faith by all present.
Col. II. Clay Evans who is well
known in East Tennessee and who
is one of the prominent business
men of Chattanooga made a talk to
the citiZens assembled. Both
speakers we're r0undly applauded
time after time in the course of their
addresses. Grand Master responded
in behalf of the local fraternity.
Prof. j. H. Henry gave a welcome
in behalf of the local fraterniey. Prof
w. S. Thompson spoke in behalf Of
the Grand Lodge The local pro-
gram was we'll planned and was car
ried out to the letter. At the con-
clusion of the session an adjourn
ment was taken for dinner and the
delegates and visiting friends spent
the time in sight seeing; visiting the
many points of interest in and
around Chattanooga. The first bus
mess session was held in the hall
room. Meeting was called to order
by Grand Master Fort. Credential
committee was appointed and for
some cause there seems to have been
injector into meeting strenuous
politics and it is thought by some
that the Grand Lodge will be a
stormy one. Many candidates are
seeking election. All the old Of
ficials are seeking reelection and
with few exceptions each man is a
strong competitor 1t is thought
that some changes will be made. TO
say which it will be is merely a mat
ter of conjecture at this time Rum
or has it that there will be a hard
fight made on Grand Master Fort
on the ground that he is non-resi-
dent. The Grand Masters friends
say that such a course is stretching
the matter beyond reason They
say that he is not nonresident, he
only works out of the state a part
of the year, They say that it would
be very unfair to go against a man
because he is making an honest
living for his family, Prof. ]. A..
Henry, of Chattanooga and Prof. T..
P. Turner, of Pulaski will fight it
out for the Secretaryship of the
Grand Lodge. They are strong
men ana tne result can only De
known when the ballot is cast 1t
is also said that the congenial smil-
ing Will Thompson, will have COM
petition for the Endowment Secre-
The Treasurer of the
Grand Lodge of the Endowment
Bureau will have competition But
it is said by those who are close to
the administration and some who
are familiar with the sentiments of
the delegates that few if any changes
will be made this year. They ar
que that the Odd Fellows will not
break the harmonious spirit that has
proven by the meetings that have
been held in Chattanooga this year
Grand Master Fort in his address
made some strong statements to the
Grand Lodge among them will be
found the following:

Broad Policy.

The policy of the Executive Board is
broad one and is to encourage white
denominations to appropriate money
to this school, and to urge colored de-
nominations to patronize it rather
than try to establish Independent
training schools of their own. In 9TH
er words, this Executive Board will
act as trustee for all denominations,
both white and colored, that may de-
sire to cooperate. A plan has been
adopted by which denominations may
build, own and control church houses
for their students, supervise their
home life and give courses in denom-
national training.
1t is estimated that $3.50 will be
needed for current expenses the first
year and $4,000 for buildings and

upon a flag in the army which he

were versed In heraldry would at

Since then an increase Of the orig

so many lives to maintain.

fertility of soil and in cultivating the
same, and tells of the crops they
raise
The following are few excerpts
from the book, made at random:
GA new boom is on, the farm land
boom; new development is begin
ming, intensive agriculture, a new dis
covery, the riches of the soil; a new
opening, the intelligent use of the
little lands 1t does not demand any
more brains than any of the other OPP
port,inities, and it is open to far
la ger number.
"'rkere is more money to be made
out of the soil, if Tou go at it intel
ligently, tran there is in any other
endeavor that is open to everyone.
The city man who has brains enough
to conduct a shop or who knows how
to make a profit out of his employees,
or who is a good enough financler
to meet the monthly bills, knows
enough to make money out of the
soil. The same attention to details,
the same care of an orchard or OF
vegetable farm or of fruit farm or
flower garden will bring far greater
profits
Intensive farming, intensive truck
ing, intensive dairying and special1Z-
ing are the up-to-date methods that
promise sure and good returns.
'"Three COWS to the acre, not three
acres to the COW; 500 produce to
the acre, not seven acres to the hun

crops to the acre, not four acres to

SPEND YOUR MONEY AT HOME

Those who patronize mail order
houses in preference to their home
merchant should go and look at the
so-called business streets of the sub
urban town near the large cities.
They are disappointing. There are
no well-stocked stores, such as are
seen in every live country town, only
small shops with meagre stocks and
no look of prosperity. The reason
for all this is not far to seek. The
residents of these places go to the
nearby city to spend their money and
will only buy at home what they need
in hurry. The consequence is they
have only the little, poorly stocked
stores in their own town, and must
go to the city to buy, whether they
wish to or not. These people have
destroyed their home town to build
up the city merchant.
Many of the country people are
unwittingly taking a course calcu-
our prosperous country towns and
make them into dead and undesirable
places. Every dollar sent away to
mail order house is a step in that
direction Every dollar sent out of
your own community in that way
helps to build up the city and keep
back your own town. Every order
sent to a mail order house helps to
keep your home merchant from MAX
ing an honest living.
You buy of the mail order house
to save money. On some articles
you may do So But the mail order
man is shrewd chap. Making up
his catalogue and prices is his study,
and he always cOntrives to have some
articles appear very cheap in order to
attract attention and sell the rest.
You will not save any money In the
long run and are very liable to get
lot Of things that are not what they
claim to be-
If you want your home town to be
alive and enterprising, if you want
your home merchant to keep good
stocks, if you want a good home mar
ket for your produce, then keep your
money at home.

A LITTLE LAND AND A LIVING

"A Little Land and a Living" by
Bolton Hall, author of Three Acres
and Liberty" Things AS They Are
ETC., is book that everybody should
read, and especially should it. be read
by that large class of people who
find life in the city a constant strug-
gle, in which fear of losing their jobs,
fear of missing payment on some in
Stallment debt, fear of growing old,
fear of waning physical force, fear of
death and many other fears add their
more or less poignant terrors, to ex-
istence.
Mr.. Hall is not a theorizer who has
a great and original idea to prOmul-
gate. He is a recorder of facts to
which he lays no claim to- proprie-
tOrship and the solution which he pre-
sents to the problem of relieving the
stress of existence among the many
willing workers in the crowded CEN
ters of population whose hands are
slaves to Improbable striving, is
simple presentation of facts and tn
Informing of people what to do and
how to do it, He is eminently prac-
teal. He would not take city dwell
ers a long way from home where land
is cheap. He does not counsel the
impossible He would take them to
the suburbs or nearby country and
place a family on an acre or tn
He shows the profits that can
made from a little land intensively
cultivated. He gives vOluminous an,
authentic instances of large returns
from small areas. He gives the meth
DDS pursued by these successful small
