the hospitality and warm hearted wei
come that awaited every Mason who
was in attendance here at this meet
ing. He said that this was the best
town he knew of to keep a man from
feeling home-sick, that the eordiality
here was so sincere that it left little
doubt of the sincerity of its citizens
Taking up in part the work and spread
of fraternalism in America, the speak
er declared that it was difficult for
Masons themselves to understand the
great progress that had been made in
this matter. That it was little short
of marvellous the hold that Masonry
and many other lodges of fraternalism
had on the present age. There are at
present in the United States S,500,0OO
men who are allied with fraterhal or
ders. and that over two billion dol
lars had been paid by them to widows
and orphans in death and benefit
claims-surely remarkable achieve
ment that has grown from almost
nothing in 1868 to the present day
The speaker asked what all this ARA!
of men allied in common cause
ma;.nt. He declared it signified
closer relation with God and more
perfect brotherhood Of man, He de
clared that Masonry had done more t.
heal the breach between the Norti
and the South than any other one
thing, and that the time was fast ap
preaching when religious dogmas ant
creeds would mean nothing among
men when they are brought togethe
in bonds of fraternalism. He urget

The Masons are here. They have
been arriving in perfect stream
since Sunday, and today the town is
crowded with this host of delegates,
who come from almost every county
of the state Yesterday degree work
was in progress in the Masonic Tenn
pie throughout the day, and this morn
ing at little past ten o'clock, the Grand
Lodge was formally opened at the
Auditorium. Long before the eXer-
cises of the day began, the place was
crowded and standing room was hard
ly available. Owing to the fact that
the opening exercises were public, a
large number of the citizens of the
city were on hand and Joined in the
welcome that is being extended the
visitors on every hand. Rev. G.. H
Thompson of the Court Street Metho
dist church opened the exercises with
short prayer, the entire audience
standing.
In the absence of Hon. R. S. Hall
who was slated to deliver the welcome
address on behalf of the city, Mr.. w
M. Conner, acted in this role, and ac
quilted himself in a most ad
mirable and satisfactory manner
Mr.. Conner stated that he had beel
called upon to act In this capacity jus
a few minutes before and had not pre-
pared an address to deliver to the
delegates and visitors. He said tina
while he was not prepared to deliver
an extended address that he challeng

them to execution"

to President Taft for his course IL

In concluding his ANIMAL report, just
presented to congress, Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson anticipates his re-
tirement from Office on March 4, after
record term as Il cabinet officer, in
saying:
''The record of sixteen years has
been written. 1t begins with a yearly
farm production worth $4i000,O00,O0G
and ends with 1882, 000D00. Then
farmers were loaded with debts that
were painful burden; prosperity fol.
lowed, and grew with ,mexampled
speed. Then the farmer was a joke
of the caricaturist; now he is Hke the
stone that was rejected by the builder,
and has become the headstone of the
corner. Beginnings have been made in
a production per acre increasing fast
er than the natural increase of pOpula-
ton. There has been an uplift of agri-
culture and of country life.
"In this movement the department
has been gradually equipped to occupy
a foremost place. 1t came to learn
and il remained to teach. Its influence
penetrates the remotest neighborhood.
1t performs mission of welfare and
happiness to farmers and to the whole
Nation. The millions of dollars that
it costs are returned in tenS of miY-
