A CAUTIoNARY WORD FROM AUNT

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis
ters:-After striving for several
weeks to find time to write to you
decided to follow Theodas advice:
take time even though you do not
have it,"
have been much surprised and
pleased to receive so many birthday
cards. Time and energy are, often
so inadequate to all the demands upon
them that I greatly appreciate the be-
stowal of any portion of them upon
me. The cards are all very pretty
and appropriate ] extend to each
sender my heart felt thanks and hope
that should | fail to write you per-
sonally you will consider this a per-
sonal acknowledgement. A double
portion of gratitude is due to Aunty
for the suggestion of sending the
cards and for the very. pretty card
and little flag which she sent.
Ready: | too miss you from the
corner and hope that you will soon
write under the old familiar name.
Theoda: What astonishing energy
and enthusiasm you displayed in
arising between four and five a. n1.,
to write to the Social Corner. One of
our mutual friends says: Aunt Mehit-
able's besetting sin is getting up
early in the morning" as never
arise earlier than five o'clock what
must she think of you.
BidGy 81 am so very sorry to hear
that you have peen sick. How good
of you to be thinking up plans for a
picnic at South Coventry" 1t was

The growth of the Elks was shown

stated
When the Grand Lodge met in
Buffalo in 1905 there were 9SS lodges
with a membership of 200, 004; today
we have 1905 lodges, with member
ship of 408,281 entitled to representa-
ton in this the forty ninth session of
the Grand Lodge.
The total revenues of the order for
1906 were $S9,424.83; today they are
s244,611.42. In all the history of the
order in its forty one years up to
1905 its benevolences had amounted to
81, 1881 693.4S; today they have grown
to $42S9, 405 or an increase of S2957.-
711.52 in the past eight years. At the
Buffalo session six lodges could show
a membership of over 1000 each; to-
day thirty-six claim that distinction
At that time Brooklyn headed the list
with 2,059 members; she still holds
first place, with 4.2S4 loyal brothers
on her roll. In 1905 about 100000
membership cards We're sent out from
the office Of the Grand Secretary: this
year over 100000 had TO be supplied
In 1905 New York state contained
filthy nine lodges with a membership
of 1895: today she has sixty three

amounted to $6,17609306, while this
year the grand total OF $22,Sa956975

homes, temples and clubhouses. And
to say that many of these are truly
palatial in size. equipment. and beauty
is but family describing them, and no

TOO MANY WORLD FAIRS.

The New York World thinks that
Great Britain's decision not to par
ticipate in the Panama-Pacific ex-
position at San Francisco in 1915 is
not surprising, nor is Germany's re-
fusal which now follows. OF the %
countries that have agreed to ex-
hibit, only two great nations, France
and Japan, so far figure in the list.
Italy, Russia and Austria-Hungary
have so far failed to accept the in
vitations pressed upon them
Aside from all other explanations
suggested, it is sufficient to assume
that Great Britain's refusal, as re-
poraed, was governed by the belief
that there have been too many in
iternational expositions in recent
years. The same objection has been
repeatedly advanced in this country.
Congress more than once has threat
ened never to help finance another
worlds fair, only to yield when its
courage was put to the test.
After the success of the Paris ex-
position of 1867 and the Vienna ex-
position in 1873, the centennial fair
in Philadelphia in 1876 was the
starting point in this country.
The Columbian exposition at Chi
cago in 1898 cost the nation nearly
$6.000.000 Later came the Trans
Mississippi exposition at Omaha and
the Pan-American fair at Buffalo, &c
be followed by the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition at st. Louis, toward
which the government contributed
nearly 100000. At short inter
walls various cities have held cele-
brations of a more sectional charac-
ter
1t Is estimated that the Panama.
Pacific fair will represent a total ex-
penditure of s5o,000.000. including
appropriations by the nation, the
state and counties of California, tn,
city of San Francisco, various states
and foreign nations and individual
exhibitors.
In the last so years, it is safe tt
say, the United States government
has contributed over $50, 100000 ii
laid of exposition, domestic and for
eign For all the while this countr,
has been organizing local and ma

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Ind. Aug. 11.-There is
considerable speculation as to who
will be elected executive commissioner
of the Indiana Panama Pacific expo
sition commission when that body
meets in this city the first week In
September. There is the same degree
of uncertainty to who will be elect
ed secretary of the commission. Lieu
tenant Governor O'Neill is chairman of
the commission, which was created by
the legislature of last winter, and
there has been talk that he was a can
didate for executive commissioner.
When he was here a few days ago,
however he stated to friends that he
was not a candidate in any sense OF
the word and that he would not take
the position as gift.
State Senator James J. Netterviile,
of Anderson, is an active candidate
for the place of either executive COM
missioner or secretary. 1t 10 said that
he would take either place. When the
Legislature was In session Ii was said
that he wished one OF the positions
because it would require him to spend
many months at San Francisco, and
he thought this would be a good thing
for his health. The position of exc
cutive commissioner will probably

glaring headlights. This is legisla-
ton worthy of imitation in smaller
communities.
some time ago we compelled street
car companies to eliminate dazzling
headlights. At the time autos did
not sport them but in the past few
years some of the machines carry
lights that rival the searchlights on
man-o wars. This is dangerous to
other autoists, TO those who ride in
carriages, and to pedestrians in gen.
eral. Any one who walks or rides
along a country road will appreciate
this.
Regulation of auto headlights Is
one of the needed pieces of legisla-
tion just now.

views the history of dairying in Lake

We are so absorbed in our indus
