Richmond, Va, Feb. 14.-What is
'elieved to be one of the biggest
teps in the progress of secret or
rrs was taken last night by Mar
hall Lodge, Knights of Pythias. For
any wears there has been Jaw on
he books of the lodge which requlr-
h that when members were sick
ey should receive so much IN the
ay of weekly benefits. This was to
continued for some time, and IN
at way the, finances of the lodge
IA not grow in proportion to the
leadership.
On Tuesday night the lodge took
\ the matter of abolishing the bene-
IS for good and all, and placing
|e lodge abreast of other progress
We orders which promise relief and
hich are in position to give it
hen asked, and to give in the spirit
d tenets of the order--for charity.
G matter was gone over at con-
lerable length, and when the vote
IS taken there was not a voice
esed against the proposition. This
the first lodge in this city to take
S step. Those lodges which have
ken this position, are making bet
progress than ever, getting in
st class material and looking after
sick and distressed.

Washington, D. c., Dec. IO.-Secre-
tary Redfield, Of the department of
commerce, told the Association of Pas

banquet here Tuesday night that the

proved industrial conditions existing
Possibly a corporation may not earn
as largely today" the secretary said,
under the spirit which says that the
men in its shop or on its vessel are
worth as much to the nation as are its
officers or directors. But it will be
better for the nation if contentment
and some degree of comfort came into
the homes Of the workers"

Wheat Stalks Measur-
ing 6 Feet, 6 Inches

The two sons of J. w. Gallant, who
owns fine tract of land in North
Delta, are in charge OF the ranch work
this year and that they are doing
things successfully is evidenced by a
sample bunch OF the wheat and alfalfa
on display in front window of the In.
dependent this week.
One OF the boys came into the office
on Tuesday carrying this sample of
their work. and as he approached the
writer, he remarked that he didn {
want us TO think that he had a stand
of alfalfa TO equal the stocks accom-
panying his exhibit of wheat which
measured Just six feet and six inches.
and were the same In height. but that
these alfalfa stalks were taken from a
few struggling lunches growing in
different parts of the field.
He did. however, have a good patch
of wheat measuring with the sample
and II was all well headed and would
give good returns. The boys have
other good crops on the place and ex-
pect to get good returns for their
seasons work.

Delta Waterworks to
Be Greatly Improved

As can be seer by an ordinance pub,
lished in this issue of Independent.
$4,000 of city bonds are to be issued
and sold for the purpose of improving
Delta's water system.
Just what the improvements will
include. may or may not have been
fllly determined upon by the com
missioners. For some months the
matter has had consideration. avail
able water sources discussed with the
advisory board and citizens, and the
amount needed with which to put in
a satisfactory system discussed. The
point having been reached where the
financial part should be arranged for,
the ordinance referred to was drawn
at the past meeting, read and ordered
published. A second publication will
be made two weeks later. following
its final adoption.
In the matter of market for the
bonds in question, it has been found
that their demand is somewhat limited
making the rate of interest higher than
heretofore. with a premium in addi-
tion. The necessities OF the case, how
ever, has probably convinced the city
commissioners, as well rs the mayors
advisory board. that action should not
be longer deferred.
Independent will endeavor to keep its
readers informed on lines to be follow
ed on the making of these waterworks
improvements.
