GREAT K.OF P.CONTEST
sssTs .sss,s
Two Hundred New Members With
$1,000 in Revenues.

The Knights of Pythias contest,
which has been waging for the past
five weeks, closed in a memorable
meeting Monday night and the Shock
ley forces won out over the Spurgin
tribe by a good lead. After it was
all over, however, Shockley admitted
that Spurgin had him scared all the
time, and the desperate efforts put
forth the last two days were due to
this fight.
Remarkable results were brought
about by the campaign, a record pos
sibly never equaled by another lodge
of the order in Iowa. One hundred
and fifty-four new applications were
presented, thirty-four old members
asked for reinstatement and seven
cards from members of other lodges
were put on record, making a grand
total of 1913 members to be added to
Oskaloosa Lodge No. So. .
The cash collections taken up and
placed on the treasurer's table in the
lodge room amounted to between
$4,000 and $4,000. When all fees are
paid as the new members take their
degrees, an additional sum of equal
amount will come in, so that the
treasury of the lodge will have been
swelled by the campaign almost S.
600. The following exhibition of
points won in various ways by the op.
posing sides will give some idea of
the amount of work done by the
lodge members during the contest:
By the Shockley forces.

Proposition of Law is Laid Down
That Words avery Restraint Of

Washington, May 16.-The govern.

The decree of the lower court was

which Chief Justice White said were

Justice Harlan announced dis.

BY the reorganization of the Stand

violation not only of the first section
of the act, which referred to re-
'straints of trade. but of the second
section, which applied to the monop-
olizing. The Standard Oil company
had argued that there could be no ,ad-
ditional restraint as result of the
reorganization because the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey was
owned by a common body of owners
in exactly the same proportion as all
the subsidiary companies taken over
by this new organization had been
held by these common owners for
years.
The court held otherwise and said
that the combination in single cor

stock of each of the several corpo-a-

more durable, and more effective than
that previously held by the stockhold-
ers. In these effects the court found
restraint on commerce.
Wireless Decision Important.
The Supreme court also handed down
a decision upholding the judgment
of contempt in the case of christopher
c. Wilson. president of the United
Wireless company, for refusal to pro

By the decision the federal govern

Yes, easy 10 laugh when your friends are

And there's happiness in sight;
But when Hope has fled and the skies
are gray,
And the friends of the past have turned

All, then indeed it's a hero's feat
TO conjure smile in the face of defeat
It's easy to laugh when the storm is DER
And your ship is safe in port;
Yes. easy 70 laugh when you're on the

Secure from the tempest's sport:
But when Wild waves wash Ger the
storm-swept deck
And your gallant ship is a battered wreck
All, that is the time when it's well worth

To look In the face of defeat with smile.
It's easy to laugh when the battles
fought
And you know that the victory's won;
Yes, easy to laugh when the prize you
sought
Is yours when the race is run:
But here's to the man who can laugh
when the blast

For the hardest man in the world to beat
