had the pleasure of meeting
our next Governor, E. w. Major,
at Ellington. He certainly de-
ceives his looks. He said he was
born in Missouri and reared in a
log cabin with two rooms; all the
light they had was from a twisted
rag in a grease cup. He said the
boys always looked forward to a
great time on the 4th of July; his
girls name was Sally; he mount
ed his fathers horse and took her
up behind him, THAT was the fav-
orite way of attending meetings
those days., and the harder the
horse would trot the tighter she
would hold him around the waist.
Arriving on the picnic ground,
they went, hand-in-hand, to the

circle to the left!" A large crowd
heard him and the old farmers
split their sides laughing. Ar old
lady said, 81 declare he told the
truth about the log cabin and pic
mic days" He said they must all
come to see him in Jefferson City,
and be sure and bring a country
ham and a bag of sausage a yard
long. He gave the single tax a rap
and advised every one to vote
"No," on that proposition. He
left on a motor IA for Ironton via
Leeper. He made a short talk
from the rear end of No. s at Pied
mont. The Van Buren, and Ell
lington bands furnished the music
at Ellington, and when "Dixie"
was played the crowd went wild.

Your Committee, to whom was assign
ed the duty of reporting resolutions
touching the death of our venerable
Brother, James M. Logan, beg leave to
present the following:
James M. Logan was born in the beau
tiful Valley OF Belleview, on what is
now known as the Robert Logan farm"
onsNov. 2, 1888. He passed his entire
life in Belleview Valley, with the excep-
ton of six or seven years of residence in
Reynolds county, Mo. A short time after
reaching his majority he became a mem
Der Of the Presbyterian Church; was made
an Elder in the church, and remained a
true and loyal worker therein till the day
OF his death. On November 10, 1857, he
married Miss Ann Stephens, a daughter
OF our late Brother, Judge Joseph L. Ste
phens. In 1862 Brother Logan became a
Master Mason-was made a Master Ma
son by Star of the West Lodge, No. 1873,
then located at Arcadia, Mo.
In 1887 Brother Logan received the
Royal Arch Degrees in indian Chapter,
No. II, at Ironton, Mo. He was greatly
attached to the sublime degrees of our
order, and, except during the last few
years, when too aged and infirm for act
i've duty, he was a working, Jealous Ma
son. No man was more faithful to the
true principles of our art. Plain and I'm.
assuming, but firm of purpose, honest
and true, he practiced outside of the
Lodge the principles inculcated within it.
God give us more men like him!
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will moi
lie;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above
the fog
In public duty and private thinking"
Our worthy deceased Brother departed
this life October 10, 1912, on his farm in
Belleview Valley-on the same premises
where his widow, Aun Logan, was born
aged nearly 70 years. On October IL,
1912, this Lodge, ably assisted by the
members OF Star of the West Lodge, No.
1873, and the brethren OF the Masonic or.
der at Caledonia, laid our Brother to rest
w. R. Edgar officiating as Master.
We buried him in that beautiful Gods
Half-Acre," the Presbyterian Cemetery,
at Caledonia, in the Valley of Belleview,
that he loved SO much. There beneath
the shade Of those venerable forest trees,
more than two hundred years old, we
gave o. Brother sepulture with honors
and according to the grand ritual of our
order.
He has been called from LABOR to
REsT-from LIES dtful fever to the peace
Of the tomb. May that rest be as sweet
as his death was calm and peaceful.
This Lodge expresses its profound sor.
row at the loss it and the Craft in genera
has sustained in the death of our Brother
James M. Logan.
We hereby tender to his bereaved wild
ow and to his son and our Brother, E
M. Logan, our sympathy and SINGER,
coincidence in their irreparable loss.
We will mourn the loss of our Brother
while cherishing a fond recollection Q
his manly virtues and fine Masonic char

Last Monday morning the High School

day night to devise ways and
means for building a granitoid
walk from the bridge between

It ia estimated that the cost Of a

of the bridge to the Arcadia post

certainly be a great improvement.

THE HALF HOLIDAY

Charles F. Rudolph, the well-known
jeweler has written the following let
ter to the Consumers League endors-
ing the half-holiday. The Rudolph
store has the half-haliday in summer:
The Consumers League, Ladies
Saturday half-holiday / find is a ben
eft; clerks when treated fairly usually
give fair treatment In return, and feel
ing At they work to better advantage.
Surely clerks lose trade, and there
is no one who has not met them; give
these same clerks chance to mingle
with their friends, some time beside
Sundays, time to get acquainted at
home, time for a drive or ride, time
for a weekend visit, time for golf
or a call, time to learn something be-
yond the limits Of the store or ofice,
and they will come back to you pre-
pared and willing to take a firmer
hold, feeling that there is something
to live for beside work and give you
better service.
If the merchants in one line of
trade would agree to close at an ear
lier hour none could lose by the
change. II the citizens insist on such
a change, a stand to the contrary by
the merchants would be disastrous.
All the business transacted in a day
can easily be squeezed into fewer
hours without much inconvenience.
l am extremely glad that the women
OF Wilmington have taken this matter
up and / shall hope to see great re-
suits in consequence. We have city
that should be a much greater power
than it is in a business way and the
women can make it so.
l wish you success and shall be
ready at all times to help in this
movement which cannot fail to make
some glad who have none too much Of
that commodity. Yours,
