Now,s Your Chance

The charter of the Moose lodge has been thrown open to all English speak : ing white men of good character, and for short time only the initiation fee and all cost of joining will be only five dollars. Douglas Treadwell Lodge, No. 755, is only one of over l,500, and after having passed through many trials, Is going to take place among the strong progressive locals of this fast increas- ing order. No. 755 has never failed to pay debt and with half a million loyal Moose scattered around it will never have cause to refuse just claim --the Supreme Lodge has never been known to let a small deserving lodge die for want of help. An evidence of this is the startling dispensation to re- duce the initiation fee to S5-that's Moose missionary work. Take advans tage of it and join now! See any mem. Der or Sec. Frank Humfrey immedi- ately. The fee will soon be doubled without notice.

HUSBAND MUST BE AMERICAN
Popular Singer Declares They Are the
Best In the World, and Perhaps
She 10 Right.

A young American singer who re-
turns to this country after a success.
ful career abroad. expecting to reap
here high hoonrs and much money, an
nounces that she is a candidate for
matrimony. but only American men
need apply. Her verdict is that the
Russian husband is cruel, the German
selfish, the Frenchman untrue. the
Italian broke" the Spaniard jealous
and lazy and the Englishman domineer-
ing. These generalizations are un-
doubtedly too strong. There are as
good husbands in each Of the coun-
tries as anywhere, but the foreigner
who deliberately hunts an American
girl is apt to be an adventurer, and
we hear OF all the bad cases. We do
not hear of the thousands of American
women happily married and living in
every country in Europe.
1t is to be hoped that the singer will
find a husband with none of the bad
qualities mentioned and with all of
the virtues. We feel at liberty, how
ever, to point out that there are some
mighty bad husbands in this country
and that American birth alone is no
guarantee of perfection 1t is true,
however, that the ordinary American
husband is the best trained animal
in captivity. He eats out OF his wife's
hand and signs checks and is thankful
for the opportunity. There are millions

LAMB MADE ALL THE TROUBLE
BY Comparison, the Lion Was Inoffen-
siVe and Mild-"Butts Like a
6atterinq RAM"

The tidings that lamb is appearing
on the stage in the production of
Joseph and His Brethren" has been
noised far and wide. Several CORE
spondents have written to ask why a
lion should not also appear, the pair
lying side by side. But that has al
ready been done. by Lord George
Stanger, and thereby hangs a tale.
When the sale of the old showman's
menagerie took place, the two animals
were put together and bought by Mr.
Fred Ginnett, of Dick Turpin fame
BY this time the lamb had got pretty
long in the tooth, to say the least of
it. A few days afterwards an ac-
quaintance asked Mr.. Ginnett how the
happy pair were getting on.
Il wish l had never seen them"
said the Snowman gloomily
why, is he savage?"
Savage is not the word for it. He
won't let anyone come near him"
Indeed! l thought he looked such

NO PENSION FOR
ADRIAN c. ANS0N

New York, Dec. 23.-The fact that
Captain Adrian C. Anson visited Gov.
ernor Tener of Pennsylvania, in Har-
risburg this week, revived the rumoT
that the National league would take
some action with regard to granting
the old-time ballplayer pension.
Governor Tener made the following
statement through John Heydler, sec
retary of the league:
Speaking as president of the Ma.
tional league, l will say that see no
reason why a pension should be vot.
ed Captain Anson. The captain is
strong physically and mentally, ap'
pearing weekly on the vaudeville
stage and making great hit wherev'
er performing. In common with his
many friends, | deplore the continued
reference in newspapers about the
National leagues failure to provide
pension for the captains support.
Mr.. Anson is far from being an oh.
ject of charity, and would refuse any
pension that any league would vote
him. The National league is not un.
mindful of its heroes and faithful,
and il there should come time when
Captain Anson should need the or.
ganization's support, 1t will quickly
and gladly come to his support.
Please let me add in conclusion
that ! trust that the above statement
will set at rest all discussion relative
to Captain Anson receiving q pen
sion from the National league"

Washington, Dec. 22.-'With bold
strokes, Franklin X. Lane. secretary
Of the interior, today outlined, in his
annual report to President Wilson, a
broad policy in the conservation of
the vast natural resources of the
United States which yet lie within
the regulatory powers of the govern

results that may be achieved through
the development Of these resources
under proper supervision.
No Recommendations Offered.
Comparatively, the report is brief.
1t, likewise, is wholly unique, in that
it contains not a single recommends
ton. Suggestions for action, which
Secretary Lane observes emphatical-
ly is what the country desires and
needs, are numerous; but he prefers
to propose general policies to the
making Of fiat recommendations.
Two notable and interes ting predic.
tons are indicated rather g. than made
in the report. One IS that the time
is not far distant when coal of too
low grade ITO stand storage or
transportation will be converted into
electricity at the mouth Of the mines
and widely distributed for lighting,
heat and power" the other, that the
gigantic force now wasting itself in
the rivers of the country will be so
controlled by dams as to provide heat
light and power to the people and
that within a generation I believe
the people will be as alive to the
value of public ownership of hydro
electric power plants as they are to.

refused to vote on the ground hat
the board had no power to consider

Mayor Harrison declared the mem
