CONVENTION
Preparations for the Enter
tainment of "Three Link
ers" Complete.

Emmett extends a warm
greeting to the Canyon coun-
ty Odd Fellows who will be
in the city tomorrow. Our
people recognize this noble
order as one of the most poo-
ent influences for good in this
state. We admire the guild
ing principles of this powerful
fraternity; for in the best
sense it is founded in the
spirit of brotherly love. We
see in it an organization
whose timely ben 1dactlons
have relieved distress and
blessed countless thousands.
The motive of the fraternity
is found in this brief legend up
ON it's great seal: I'VE com
mand you to visit the sick,
relieve the distress, bury the
dead. and educate the orphan
What loftier sentiment than
this can actuate man?
A sweet fragrance of the
spirit of the Good Samarftan
has come down to us through
the centuries and has become
the inspiration of this great
order; it is symbolized in
its creed and carried into its
practice. Odd Fellowship rea''
Lies that the largest joy in
this world which enraptures
the souls of men and women
is the consciousness of good
service rendered to others.
Emmett is, therefore, glad
to welcome to its midst, the
Canyon county subordinate LODI
ges and brethren from other +.
parts of the state. Our peo- i:
pie extend to them the glad Z;
hand of welcome, and hope /:
that your stay here wdll be so !;
that their stay here will be so |;

her nerves quivered for q touch OF the
tiny mite who played among the sun
flowers at the foot OF the garden.
'Da, da. da!" The childs high
pitched voice followed each attempt
as she strained on tip-toe for the
great yellow heads.

There could be no doubt that the
