Many Lodge Members.

We will venture the assertion that
there is as many members of secret
organizations in Lancaster as in any
town of it's size in the country. AT
least seventy FIVE per cent of the men
you meet are members of some secret
organization, many of them more than
one. The various Masonic bodies, the
Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Mac
cabees, Woodmen, all come in for their
quota. This speaks well for a COM
munity, for if they will live up to the
tenets and teachings of their various
orders, they will surely make good
citizens and will exercise charity, kind
ness and brotherly love toward their
fellowman. If might be hard matter
to convince your wife of the fact, as
most of the ladies consider 1.-THE lodge"
as but an excuse to get away from
home of night, but secret Organiza-
lions have tendency to promote the
moral uplift of the community, and if
you are sure hubby goes to the lodge
when he leaves home at night osten-

assured that he is neither in bad COM
pany or committing anything for which

At hearing before the State Rail-
road Commission at the Seelbach Hotel
in Louisville, KY, last Wednesday, in
considering the complaint of the Camp
bellsville Telephone Company against
The Cumberland Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, the commission speak
ing through its chairman, the Hon.
Lawrence Finn, held that telephone
companies having an exchange in differ
ent towns or places must make physi-
cal connection of their exchanges and
transmit each others messages without
delay. Under this ruling the Hubble
Telephone Company can compel con-
nection with both the Basin Telephone
of Lancaster and the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company in Stanford, if these
parties are unable to agree upon terms
of connection. Negotiations have been
pending between the parties to connect
their exchanges by contract, but up to
this time the Companies have been mn
able to agree upon terms. Unless there
agreements are soon reached between
the Telephone Companies application
will be made to the Railroad Commits
sion to force connection.

Sow Seeks Safety From Flood.

During the recent flood in Paint Lick
an old sow was washed down stream
and like drowning man clutching at
straws seized upon the first solid
substance which came within her reach,
which happened to be barn roof, and
there she stayed until the turbulent
waters receded and left her high and
dry, if little elevated. Prof. Water
bury, among number of other views
taken of the scene of the flood, took a
snap shot of the sow on the barn roof,
whichis proof positive of the occurrence.
We are usually little skeptical of such
occurrences, but in this instance the
proof is so positive we cannot doubt it.

was killed by an automobile at Burgin

paid taxes on it and His Honor then
decided that the dog could not be con-
