>(For Masonic Column.)
Many of the Grand Masonic lodges
are holding their annual sessions this
winter instead Of summer, as do most
northern states. -sr@. s.t &
Keokuk is one of the oldest and
most historic of the Iowa cities in
point of settlement, and here we find
the oldest colored Masonic lodge now
existing, Union Lodge, No. /. Some
years prior to this Union lodge there
were two separate Masonic lodges
there.
We found this lodge doing fairly
well, although not doing much work.
Bro. w. w. Grass, grand secretary
and w. NJ, and Alonzo Draine, S. w.,
say they are planning to give the
grand lodge the greatest welcome to
this city in July.
A nice social hour was enjoyed after
the G. M. lecture.
Bro. Austin A. Bland and Orange
Fields, two Of the original members
of the local lodge and of Iowa grand
lodge, have promised to give the
craft historical treat in the way of
early Masonic "reminiscences.
On to Keokuk this summer, the
Gate City and the Power City.
Our next craft that greeted US was
Golden Star, No. 4, Ottumwa. Here
Golden Star gave her annual public
anniversary at the church, in which
fully 500 of her good, loyal, strug-
Cling Afro-Americans were out to
greet the grand officers. A very ex-
cellent program was given and the
principal addresses were given by
Grand Custodian Bro. A. G. Clark Of
Oskaloosa and Grand Master Bro
John L. Thompson Of Des Moines. An
enjoyable time is mild term. After
the program was over a five-course
banquet was served and fully $50
plates were laid. 1t was the greatest
reception and banquet we ever at
tended of this kind.
The next evening the craft assem-
bled to receive the grand master Of
ficially. A great feast of good
things, good ideas and good morals
in each thought made the brothers
feel much benefited.
Henry E. Williams certainly has his
boys well up in the ritual ceremonies
Golden Star has had more deaths
this year than any other lodge and
more than in it's own history, but the
loyal brothers are united and work.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Oct. s.-When Henry
wallace, for the farmers, and James u
Davis, for the railroads. reach agree
ment for reduction in freight rates
after a five minute discussion, 1t is fair
to assume that an era Of good feeling
Is not far off.
That is what happened yesterday At
the state house. The hearing on the
Iowa classification was in progress anu
matters were being rushed by CHAIR :
man Thorne. The agreement was Tor
reduction on carload rates on crushed
limestone to the crushed stone rate,
reduction to about one-eighth OF pres
ent rates, with $4,000 pound mini
mum.
The purpose in this sweeping reduc-
ton is to make it possible for Iowa
land owners to convey crushed lime
stone to their farms for use in correct
ing the acidity Of the soil.
1.-The soils Of Iowa are beginning 10
need lime." said Mr.. Wallace. They
need it more in the southern part o.
the state and the soils really need the
lime now in many places. It Will only
be few years until this need will be
felt in eastern Iowa and then in every
part of Iowa. The lime is disappearing
in various ways. but chiefly by wash
ing. A field Of alfalfa will take great
deal Of lime. A ton of alfalfa will take
out about fifty pounds Of lime and an
acre of land will produce six tons OF
alfalfa. It will not grow unless it gets
lime, The clovers will not grow unless
there is lime.
Where the soil has lost its lime 1t
becomes acid and where there is an ex-
cess of acidity the only way to correct
it is with anything but weeds and put
lime on 1t and 1t is a dead sure thing
you will get soil that will produce
clover and If it produces clover 1t will
produce corn and grass. and where you
have them you can have cattle ana
hogs and the railroads will get tom
mage to haul. Therefore 1t is import
ant that the railroads. from their
standpoint, encourage the movement OF
crushed lime, which is the best form
in which to have it handled"
In response to this plea, James c..
Davis, on behalf Of the carriers, stated
they were reluctant to raise any OBJ
lection to any rate having the purpose
here suggested, because they are deep
ly interested in the fertility and pro-
ductiveness Of the farms; but they
realized that II this rate was~given
now then another year. perhaps the
rate would be used as precedent to get
another low rate on something else.
and so on. But If the minimum carload
was made $4,000 pounds they would
agree to the reduction on crushed lime
stone.
This was done and the reduction will
