ODD FELLOWS ANNIVERSARY
Members OF Iowa lodge, No. I, At
tend Methodist Church in
Body. Sermon by Rev.
r. A. Barnes

On last Sunday morning the members
of Iowa Lodge No. /, |. o. O. F., of this
city attended the Methodist church in a
body and listened to II sermon by the
pastor Rev. II. A. Barnes. the occasion
being the ninety fifth anniversary of
Odd Fellowship in the United States.
The preacher said that not the least of
the great things that came out of the
first part of the nineteenth century was
the order of Odd Fellowship. He said
at the beginning of the century brother
hoods were unknown; sects Were
always on fighting terms; teamwork
and co.. operation in church work was
unknown; missions to the heather were
only begun and were not much believed
in. Friendly, association, he said, leads
to ties stronger than ordinary friend
ship. Love is the divine element OF
friendship. Fraternity organizations
fix the soil and faith in the word of
God. God sends his love and gives
the increase the millions Odd Fellows
have spent in caring for the sick, bury
ing the dead, relieving the widow and
orphan, building homes for the old,
afflicted and orphaned among the mem
bers, attests how much the increase has
come to the order. Odd Fellowship
does not claim to have "A standard Of
religion, but its moral code is high and
its continual insistenCe upon the
stronger virtues, Friendship, Love and
Truth, list it among the moral orders.
is greatest and best men have been
churchmen as well, and it must still
depend upon the church to instIll those
principles Of religion into the hearts of
youth, 50 that it will find the material
for members
There was large attendance Of
members of the local lodge and mum
ber came from Dodgevile and other
nearby places.

Will GRADE ROADS
Leading Into tn e City of Mineral
Point.
THE WORK WILL SOON BEGIN
A Community Movement in Which
Men Of City and Men of the Coun-
try Are Working Together

Roads leading into Mineral Point are
going to be graded Active, enter
prising members of the community,
including both the city and the sur
rounding country, are working together
towards that end. \ joint meeting
held in the Commercial Club rooms on
Monday evening of last week was re-
ported in the last issue of The Demo.
crat. At another meeting held in the
town hail last Saturday afternoon the
movement took more definite shape 1t
was decided to do the work as soon as
possible, as the spring season is the
most favorable time for road grading.
The dirt can be moved easily and it
packs better than during the summer
or fall. The city road roller will be
used for motive power and rolling, and
the grading will be done with grader
from one of the road districts of the
town.
The spirit in which this work is be-
ing undertaken encourages The Demo-
crat to expect good results The people
of the community want the work done
and they are anxious and willing to
join together and do it we'll.
In a text book which was used as a
reader in the common schools when
public education was in its infancy i'll
Wisconsin, there was printed the story
or fable of lark that had Matched out
her brood in field of grain. A field of
corn il was called, because the fable
had come down to US from the old
world, where maze or Indian corn is
not grown, and where small grains
We're called corn AS the grain in the
field began to ripen, the mother bird
charged her little ones to watch the
farmer and his sons and report to her
what they saw and heard. One day
the young birds reported that they had
heard the farmer tell his sons to go and
ask the neighbors to come and cut his
field of grain on the morrow. But the
wise old lark told her brood that they
need not be alarmed, that the grain
would not yet be harvested. The sec
ond day the young larks reported that
the farmer told his sons that as the
neigh bors did not come to his aid, they
must go and ask their uncles and their
cousins to come and cut the grain.
Again the mother bird said that the
grain would not be cut on the morrow.
But on the third day, when the little
ones brought report that the farmer had
told his sons to sharpen their sickles,
and that they must 60 to work and cut
the grain themselves, then the mother
lark said that they must move and find
shelter somewhere else, because the
grain would be cut; and it was cut.
The men who travel over the roads
leading in and out of Mineral Point,
having determined to go to work to
mend them; and in all probability the
roads will be mended
