 The only thing lacking, which could in any way improve the tone of our meeting on Tuesday night was the unavoidable absence of our general dictator, Brother MacBean. As time goes on we seem to lean on him more and more and when he finds it necessary to be absent from among us it leaves vacancy hard to fill.
 However, Bro. Hayt, our deputy supreme dictator and representative to the recent supreme lodge con- VentiOn at Milwaukee, was on hand to assume the honor of leadership, which he did with not a little cre- dit to himself, The regular routine of business was handled with a snap and vim. The initiation of candi- dates, of which there were five, was put on in a very impressive manner and. all things taken into conSidera- ton, we had one jolly, good meet inga. The membership of 70S have every reason in the world to wear the smile that won't come off. Our beautiful home and lodge affairs are in a healthy, prosperous condition. At the increased initiation fee, we still continue to add to our mem bership roll, averaging from two to four new applications, per week. Those of our citizens who do not as

floating mine is like a buoy adrift. It is hardly visible on the surface of the water, and in a poor light utterly invisible. There are va rious types of these mines, and no doubt the Germans have a type of their own, concerning which they maintain secrecy But there is one general principle. An abrupt oscil- lation, such as the shock from col lision with a vessel, causes the mine to explode. These internal machines drift with the tidal currents In the open sea they would drift about nine miles to and fro in the day. In an estuary and channel the daily drift might amount to as much as fifty miles. These floating mines can be streWn on the water by a swift mine layer in an almost continuous chain. One minelayer might strew hundreds of these mines in a single cruise Generally floating mines are not laid in the open sea, but in channels like Dover strait and the entrance to ports like the mouths of the Thames and the Humber
 Floating mines are swept up by fishing trawlers using special nets.
 These mines are used to prevent entrance to definite places, often by way of defense. It may be supposed that the Jahde-the stretch of shal- low water intersected with channels outside Wilhelmshaven-is protected both by anchored and fixed mines The anchored mines explode by con- tact; the fixed mines are kept under observation, and are detonated cleo trically from a station on shore. In heavy weather or in strong currents anchored mines have been known to drag their anchors and have become danger even to those who use them

are now equipped with a means of communication which is so light and portable that a motorcyclist with a sidecar could readily transport one of the smaller outfits sCme 200 miles in a day
 The short-range instruments will send and receive over an average distance of thirty-five miles. Where the country, is level it is possible forty five, miles; in hilly country it might not exceed fifteen or twenty miles. The larger sizes have ex- tremely long range, and over aver age country a message could, no doubt, be sent 1SO miles or more.
 While the range is good, the dis tance to which messages could be sent has not been an object in con- struction so muck as has been porta- bility and ease of erection. As re- gards the latter point, any of the equipments can be unloaded, set up, and at work within fifteen minutes of arrival, and they can be taken uoWH anu pdcheu III even ieSS liiile' As regards portability, a horse will easily carry an outfit of average range, while a long distance set can be carried by four horses which also carry riders. A pack-horse and a man between them could take one of the larger sets a distance of thirty miles in the twenty-four hours.
 It has been recognized that it might be necessary to take an out fit into a position where neither horses nor motors could pass, and the German engineers have devised Ia stretcher of bamboo on which one of the largest sets in use can be car ried by eight men over the toughest country

Hayt gave a very interesting account of the happenings at the great Moose convention. He told of the wonderful things the order is doing, and planning to do, at Mooseheart for the orphan children of the order. While in Chicago, it was his good fortune to see a class of 800 initiated by the self same drill team that won first prize at the convention, in open competition He noted several changes from the way the work is put on locally and on next Tuesday evening at which time there will be several applicants on hand, he will set us right in the ritualistic work. The chairman of our entertainment committee, Bro. Davis, is preparing something pleasing in that line for your benefit. Come up Tuesday evening and maybe he will be ready to let you in on his secret.

 Editor Lodge Lore:
 With your permission I would like to say few words to the Phoenix K. P.'s, having watched the Lodge Lore" ever since I am sojourning on the coast and been somewhat dis appointed at not seeing anything in this department about the K. P.'s or the I. o. O. F. during the last two months. Now, if you were liv- ing in Los Angeles there might be an excuse for the same because here is only one paper which contains lodge department and that is the Tribune. The boys say it's almost impossible to get any lodge news in the rest. Their space seems to be too valuable. They are issuing war extra every hour during the day. The war excitement is running high here At the Auditorium hotel, where I am stopping, some of the guests even talk war in their sleep
 The Knights of Pythias have eleven lodges in the city of Los Angeles and I had the pleasure of attending most of their meetings among the different lodges while the contest
 was going on in southern California among the degree teams for Bri- gade General J. o. Rogers loving cup. which was one of the hottest l ever
 witnessed. The contest closed on August 21, when Helmet lodge No. 25 put on the finishing touches in this contest. The rank of knight was exemplified most beautifully by this lodge on several candidates. After the ceremony about four hundred in all adjourned down stairs to the banquet hall where a spread was served on three long tables which was an enjoyable affair. Among the speakers were many prominent citl- zens and poll icians. Right after the feast the judges announced their de- cision in the Rogers loving cup and said: We as a committee are com pelled to give the silver loving cup to the team of Golden Star lodge No. 3s, Pasadena, California. as the win ner. This was great surprise 10 a great many, but nevertheless the Los Angeles lodges took it good na- l turedly and congratulated the boys | of Golden Star for their good luck.

DRY TERRITORY.
No Drinks In Towns and Law Pro,
hibits Nips On Trains.

Elkton, May 6.-Travelers in this
part of the state who are accustomed
to have a little nip" occasionally
should take their liquid refresh
ments with them on future journeys
through a considerable territory be-
tween here and the Missouri river, in
the central part of the state. Elkton
enjoys the distinction of being the
only town in Brookings county which
will have licensed saloons after July
1 next. Beginning at the South Da-
kota-Minnesota state line a short dis
lance east of here, Elkton, DeSmet,
Iroquois and Huron are the only
wet" towns until the Missouri riv-
err, one hundred and fifty or more
miles away is reached. Travellers
who take their liquid refreshments
with them to tide them over the
dry" spots in the journey from Elk
! ton west, will have TO exercise a
care, as there is a strict state law
| which prohibits the drinking of liq-
uor on trains running within the
boundaries of South Dakota.

GET BATTER IN HOLE.
Tom DAILY Says Put First Two Balls
Over the Plate.

Chicago, May 6.-"Get the batter
in the hole; always aim to get the
first two balls pitched to him yer
the plate" This is the advice handed
out by Tom DAILY, once one of the
greatest catchers that ever donned a
mask, who now is catching the
young Yankee pitchers. Days adj
vice is for the sand lot youngster
who has the ambition to become a
big league twirler some day.
THE pitcher who can get the first
two balls over the plate usually has
the w%hiphand," declared DAILY. Very
few batters offer at the first ball,
and if 1t happens to be a strike they
hardly ever offer at the second. If
the pitcher can shoot two straight
over the plate, it's pretty much of a
cinch that they will be called strikes,
and the batter will be in a hole.
You will find that the best pitch
ers of the present day are men who
never waste the first two balls. Mat
hewson, Johnson, Walsh, Bender.
Wood and the other stars always try
to get the first two balls over the
plate or mighty near the corners,
and that's why they have been so
successful.

There is a right side and a wrong
side in the present revolution in
Mexico. The constitutionalists are
right and Huerta is wrong. If the
people of Mexico did not rise up to
fight the usurper, Huerta, they would
not be worthy of being a people at
all. So instead of condemning them
for starting and carrying On this
revolution, we should commend them
for it. 1t shows that they are a
worthy people"
Mr.. Caldwell was asked what he
thought of the constitutionalist lead
ers. His reply was:
"Carranza is a splendid man, and
a great leader and genuine patriot.
The Madero family are all patriots.
Gen. Blanco, with whom / am per-
sonally acquainted, and Gems. Con
Zales and Obergon are efficient lead
ers and sincere constitutionalists.
"As to Pancho Villa, he Is a bet
ter man and a greater nan than we
have been led to think by the CEN
sored and twisted news sent out
from Mexico City. l think he is the
greatest military genius Mexico has
produced since the days of Santa An
ma and Juarez. There is, | think, nc
question but that Villa is a genuine
Mexican. No one in Mexico doubts
that he is. People around T~orreon
anu Chihuahua have known him for
many years"
