GRAND MASTER or ODD
FELLOWS IN BRYAN
Addressed Large Audience at Colo
NAL Theatre on the Beauties and
Good Work-ofThe Order.

w IllingsWorth, grand master of the
State Supreme Lodge of Odd Fellows,
addressed large gathering yesterday
afternoon at the Colonial Theatre.
After an Introductory by Mr.. L. M.
Hewitt Mr.. Illingsworth extended his
thanks for the courtesies shown him
and for the welcome which he had
received.
He went briefly into the origin of
Odd Fellowship and related how the
order had grown from an humble be-
ginning into q powerful fraternity.
The order had for its rank and file
largely the great middle class of men,
quiet, unpretentious men, but deter
mined and sturdy, and withal, the men
who stay the hand Of greed and avar-
ice on the part of the rich and power
full corporations and combat their en-
croachments.
The order does not conflict with
Christianity, as some think Instead,
all candidates for fellowship sign
pledge acknowledging their faith in
God The Order of Odd Fellows looks
only to the temporal wants of men,
however, and leaves the spiritual ne
cessities to the church.
The Odd Fellows recognize the
fatherhood of God and the brother
hood of man, and impresses the fact
that it is the bounden duty of man to
share the blessings that are his por-
ton with his less fortunate brother.
Mr.. Illingsworth spoke of the splen-
did orphans home that the order
maintains, and number of its other
good works, making very interest
ing address.
The afternoon was distinguished by
the beauty of the day, and quite a
crowd took advantage of the pleasant
weather to attend.

The Farm and Ranch very truly
says that the garden, if properly cult
waited, will be worth more than any
other area of equal size on the farm.
This is as true as gospel ITSELF Many
OF our farmers do not realize this and
there are many farm homes in the
county where there is very little, if
any, garden raised The farmer, in his
zeal for cotton, overlooks the garden.

rest for its foundation upon the
manhood of the American people as

that has made this country what
it is today and it must be Ameri-
can manhood that will carry it on

1t is in the power of the people

Of the people be possessed of a high
order of intelligence and imbued
with patriotic devotion to the hest
interests of their country in order
that we may, at all times be con-
trolled by intelligence and wisdom,
rather than by ignorance, passion
or prejudice.
From the beginning, this country
has v been without its serious
problem. There have even been
times when the very existence of
our national government was
threatened. This government has
serious problems now to meet and
determine and the future will, al
ways bring its problems which
will test the strength of character
of the American People. II this
government is ever not all that it
should be, there is but one method
of remeding the defect and that is
a high standard of citizenship, which
we in this country rave the power
of establishing for ourselves.
The right solution of all vital
problems which may ever confront
this Government, must rest upon a
citizenship. capable Of determining
the proper solution of all public
questions. and manfuliy insisting
that the right and only the right
shall prevail.
II we = to have wise and good
laws in the equal interest of all the
people there must be ubtoined and

citizenship of which we as a nation
are capable of producing.
The greatest factor in predicting
good citizenship is and must be our
educational institutions. Indeed,
this is the great primal purpose for
which u public schools are es-
tablished and supported by taxation
1t is not enough however that our
schools and colleges shonld turn
out men and women, who in their
personal lives and conduct are not
subject to the reproach of being
wanting, in the elements of good
citizenship.
They must turn out men and wo-

Valuable Discovery in
Complexion Beautifier

Because of its peculiar power of
absorption, also because 1t serves
every emollient purpose, ordinary
mercolized wax is perhaps the most
valuable complexion beautifer dis
6overed within recent years If one
uses this she needs no toilet cream.
Some use powder afterward, but
this is not necessary. This rule for
applying mercoliZed wax has been
found very satisfactory: Wash the
face with warm water, drying light
ly. Before thoroughly dry, anoint
face and neck with the wax, but
don't rub 1T. in. The favorite way
is to use before retiring, allowing
it to remain on all night and wash
ing IT off in the morning with warm
water. All druggists have this wax
in original one-ounce packages.
For the removal of a wrinkled or
fiabby condition there's nothing bet
ter than to battle the face in a So
luton made by dissolving 1 ounce
powdered saxolite in " pint witch
hazel. Beneficial results are quickly
noticeable.
