FACTOR FOR GOOD IN
MEXICO'S TROUBLES
Grand Master of Texas MasOns Speaks
OF His Visit Here to Dedicate
New York Rite Temple.


In his address to the 18th annual
communication Of the grand lodge of
Texas, A. +. & a. NJ, which opened at
Waco on December ?. grand master J.
]. Mansfield made lengthy mention OF
his trip to FL Paso in November to
dedicate the new York rite temple.
Among other things he said:
1.-THE temple is an imposing edifice,
elegant in finish and complete in its
appointments. Its location has a COM
handing view of the beautiful park
surrounding the Carnegie library, ana
is situated upon an eminence overlook
ing the Rio Grande, where 1t can be
distinctly seen from points far in the
interior of Mexico. We trust that the
inhabitants Of that country, so unfOr-
tunate in its political and social con-
ditiOns. may look to this temple as an
abode of an institution whose purpose
is for the dissemination of the doctrine
of Peace on Earth, and Good viii To-
ward Men
THE ceremonies of this occasion
were also witnessed by a number OF
brethren from the lodge in Juarez,
Mexico, whose mem bership is composed
of native MeXicans, who work IN the
Spanish language under charter from
the York grand lodge of Mexico. These
brethren manifested a most intense
interest in the proceedings, and seemed
deeply impressed with a sense Of the
duties and responsibilities they had as
sumed in rising above the ignorant
prejudices with which they have been
surrounded
"EI Paso lodge certainly occupies an
important and strategic position, one
embracing a field unsurpassed in OPP
pOrtunity. The power for good pos
sessed by the brethren of this lodge
may prove a most potent factor in the
elevation of their neighbOrs across the
river, and in the alienation of the
pains and suffering with which they
have been scOUrged-"
MaSOns in Texas Are 5S,724.
The report of the grand secretary,
John Watson, showed 5S,724 Master
Masons in good standing in the lodges
of Texas, an increase of 1858 over last
year, as a net showing There have
been 5142 limitations in the first de-
gree, 1895 in the second and 1882 in
the third. The reinstated were 276.
There were reported 194S affiliations
coming from other grand Jurisdictions
There were issued 226S dimits. There
were A expelled, 6S7 suspended, 7sO
deaths and 1879 reflections There are
S72 lodges actively at work and four

the year were 90.

AMERICAN Y

The preliminary entries already re-
ceived, the word from secretaries Of
live stock associations, and the com
ments of exhibitors at other shows.
assure the success of the American
Royal of 1913 from the standpoint OF
exhibits. II looks now, with the show
three weeks off that this Royal will
have a larger total number of exhib-
Its than in previous years. Recent
rains have washed away the last re-
naming doubts In the minds OF many
farmers as to the advantage Of imme-
date extended attention to live stock
on the farm. The feed supply Ia less
problematical now, and the lesson of
the dry season Is the dig edge that
the live stock farmer has on the man
who must sell his farm products. The
prospective shortage in beef and NUT
ton animals, and the increasing value
OF hog property, are arguments aided
at this moment TO the ever-spreading
realization that careful, scientific
stock farming with animals OF good
breeding brings the safest returns.
II Is this situation that makes the
American Royal OF 1913 perhaps the
most important Royal In the past ten
years. No other show brings together
the highest class animals from all
parts OF the country. all stock raising
states. No other show brings togeth-
or the biggest men In the industry,
the men who can tell. and do tell
each other and the visitors. what the
live stock business really promises IN
the next few years. Men from east
OF the Mississippi. clear TO the Allan.
tic coast meet men from west OF the
Mississippi. clear to the Pacific coast
and they make live stock history, al
the American Royal. For at the Roy.
al all the talk and the competitions
and the discussions started at state
fairs gather and eliminate.
Tho exhibits OF breeding catt;e
promise to equal II not to exceed In
number those OF last year. the pre-
dominance being. as usual recently
IN the younger animals. One score

least nfty more OF his breed shown II
