f LODGE 5 ADDRESS

The sentiments of Past Grand
Master Frank T. Lodge were the
noblest of the occasion. The speaker,
realizing that the people were grow
ing tired from the length of the cere-
monies and that time for the leaving
of the special trains was very near,
confined himself to a very few re-
marks. Still in his short speech, a
message was sent home to the hearts
of everyone that brought a new
meaning and sense of obligation to all
present.
This is a grand and magnificent
gathering" said Mr. Lodge. THE
future of this institution is assured.
But / object to many remarks that
to look upon the old members of this
fraternity, who are in need, as poor
people and worthy of our charity,
enshrine them in my heart as saints
and heroes. They are not poor They
are rich in the love of seventy thou
sands of Masons. They are rich in
lives we'll spent They came as pio-
neers and through their struggles this
state was made what it is and their
sacrifices the existence and standing
of the Masonic fraternity is due. We
know not their struggles; we know not
their sacrifices; we can not realize
the griefs and disappointments their
bent shoulders carry. They are our
heroes. Honor them. Place around
their trembling shoulders the strong
arms of our own and bless them with
homage and happiness the remaining
days of their lives. They shall be
happy for such is their reward of
young lives we'll spent

This ability to turn out large guam
titles Of milk belongs to a Holstein.
and It is due to their size and capacity
for feed resulting from their size.
While a quart Of Holstein milk is
produced cheaper than the same guam
tity Of milk produced by any other
breed. It isn't as rich In butter fat.
Holstein milk averages three per cent.

JOHN CARTON 5 TALK.

1t was left to Past Grand Master
John j. Carton to make the conclud.
ing speech. Following the example of
Mr.. Lodge he made but a few re-
marks. In opening he addressed him
self to the ladies of the Order of the
Eastern Star, thanking them for the
great aid they had given to the Ma
sonic fraternity throughout the state
and in particular to the care of the
Masonic Home. Mr.. Carton said that
while he was Grand Master he had
occasion to attend the dedication of
a Masonic temple. He was asked if
it were proper to allow the Eastern
Star to use the lodge room. He re-
piled that it was, and here the Past
Grand Master paid an eloquent trib-
ute to the sisterhood of the Eastern
Star, saying: II would as soon think
of tearing the stars out of the blue
vault Of heaven as taking woman out
Of the armament of Masonry. | have
always noticed by the appearance of
the lodge rooms the existence of the
responsibilities" Mr.. Carton said:
This institution is not a duty in
cumbent upon us, it is not a respon-
sibility, it is privilege. magnificent
privilege. The poorest man in the
world is the man without the re-
spect of his fellowmen The richest
man, though he be ever so poor in
material things, is the man who COM
mands the greatest respect of his
fellowmen. War never settles any
! thing. 1t only destroys. To live is
to give and to live a life to it's full
est measure is to give to the height
Of our ability. | say the Michigan
Masonic Home is not a duty nor a
responsibility but magnificent
privilege"

WORKING WITH THE FLOWERS
Window Garden Should Not BE
Neglected Even Though Plants Are
at Best-Watch for Pests.

Do not neglect the window garden
even though the plants are at their
best. Turn the plants once a week;
stir the surface of soil; wash the pots
with strong soap suds; give plenty of
fresh air daily; shower the plants
once a week; watch for pests. See
that the warm sunshine does not
scorch your plants.
Plants that are intended for bed
ding should be shifted as they fill
their pots with roots and give plenty
Of sunshine and air. Otherwise they
will be weak and "leggy."
II you wish to get specimen cannas
and dahlias start few in the house

FREE KINDERGARTEN
FOR STATE CAPITAL
PETITIONS BEING CIRCULATED
BY MEMBERS OF MOTHERS
CLUB.
School Board Said to Be Favorable to
Project Which Seems Practically
Assured.

1--WE, the undersigned residents
and qualified electors of said city,
hereby respectfully petition your
honorable body to establish a kim
dergarten in connection with the
public schools, the cost of mainte-
nance to be paid out of the COM
mon school funds, as provided by
law"
The members of the Mothers club
of Bismarck are waging an eathusias
tic campaign for the establishment of
free kindergarten in connection with
the public schools. The above petit.
ton is being circulated freely and al
ready hundreds of names have been
secured.
School Board Favorable.
The members of the board of educa-
ton are not opposed to the plan, and
in fact are favorable to it. However,
there is a legal technically in the way
of the board, which prevents it from
taking any action on the proposition
until it is petitioned to do SO.
Law in the Case.
The school laws specify distinctly
that if a school board is petitioned by
a majority of the residents and
qualified electors of the city to estab-
lish a free Kindergarten i'm the public
schools, the board shall do so. With
out this petition the board can not act.
Therefore the Mothers club is doing
its share by preparing petitions to
submit to the board at its regular
meeting April 9.
Number Of signers Needed.
There have been all kinds of rumors
,afloat regarding the number OF sign
ers necessary. Some said Is Per cent
was essential, some said 80 per cent,
and other percentages We're named.
The Office of the state superintendent
of public instruction, however, ad-
vises that the law is plain on this
point, and that all that is,required is
a petition signed by majority of the
qualified electors of the city, The
basis for computing what this major
ity shall be can be determined by the
city auditor from the poll books.
kindergarten Practically Assured.
There has long been need of a kim
dergarten in Bismarck, and the ladies
of the Mothers club are meeting with
considerable success in their work. In
tact there is no opposition whatever,
all the business men and other resi-
dents of the capital city being in
hearty accord with the movement.
No kindergarten This YEA.
1t will be impossible for the board
of education to make arrangements
for kindergarten work this year, how.
ever even If they are petitioned. They
have not the room. Little details in
the new high school building which
are delaying it's use, have made a con-
gested condition which is prohibitive
to the establishment of the kindergar-
ten this school year, but 1t is conf
IDENTIFY expected that provisions for
the free kindergarten will have been
made by the time the fall term opens
IN September.
