Bismarck Lodge 1872
CONTINUED From Page One)
These made ideal lodge and club
rooms for three years. which was the
period OF the lease.
Active Campaign Started
II There was little done the first few
months Of the life Of the order in
Bismarck as the hot weather of the
summer prevented. but as soon as the
fall arrived an active campaign for
members was started and large
number joined. This number could
have been increased very materially
had all who made application been
admitted, but the pioneer members
were looking for quality more than
for quantity and to that action on the
part of the charter members is due
the high standing the lodge has in
Bismarck and the state at the present
time.
The membership has gradually
grown from that time until now when
there are 240 members, all active. all
paying dues and all living up to the
requirements Of the order.
Secure New Quarters
On the first of September, 1913,
the lodge and club was moved to the
new quarters which had been erected
especially for them on West Main
street. The members there have the
privilege of large and commodious
lounging and card rooms, billiard and
pool tables have been installed, there
is side room for, the ladies. and
the cafe Is fitted up with modern
electrical kitchen conveniences, and
the lodge meeting room is a model of
perfection, not large when there is
small attendance and still capable
of affording plenty of room when
there are even over hundred pres
emit at the meetings.
Financial Condition Good.
At the last annual meeting Of the
local lodge the statement and report
Of the treasurer was read, and it was
with great deal of satisfaction that
the information was received telling
that 1899 was out Of debt, that there
was a small cash balance on the
right hand side Of the ledger and that
1t was in possession Of property to
the value of several thousand dollars.
When some Of the setbacks; the lodge
has experienced are known and it is
taken into consideration That it Is
not yet quite i've years Of age, this
Il . record that might be striven for
by any organisation Of q similar char
acter. Just the regular avenues Of
revenue have been used to accomplish
this end, there have been no great
influx Of new members, no benefit en-
tertainments have been given and no
gifts received.
Enjoying Steady Growth.
At the presnt time new members
are being received at each meeting,
one or two. possibly three or four. and
it is expected that by the time an.
other year rolls around, the mem.
bership will have gone well over three
hundred, and they will all be Of the
same character as the old members,
men who will try and live up to the
teachings Of the order, men who ap.
preciate the benefits to be derived
from being an Elk, and men of whom
any lodge, Elks or others, may well
be proud.

AN IDEAL CITIZEN.

There is a gentleman in this
town. known to Us all. who is Just
about our ideal of a good citizen.
He is making his money here, he
is raising and educating his family
here, and he expects to live and die
here.
When he has any money to spend
he first looks carefully over the ad-
vertisements in this paper. II he
finds what he wants he goes there
and gives that merchant the first
opportunity,
In everything he buys he gives
the home merchant the preference.
He occasionally buys articles
from abroad. but they are cases
wherein he cannot find that which
he seeks in MS own community.
He believes in his home town,
and because he does believe In ii
and intends to continue to live In
it he grasps every possible means
Of advancing its interests by keep
ing his money in circulation at
home.
He. to our mind. is the IDEAL
CITIZEN.
Would that be we're multiplied a
thousand fold.
For We need more Of him.

Poultry cannot thrive in summer un-
less it is provided with cool. shady
quarters. The young stock will not
make economical growth, and there
will be a larger number Of deaths
among them II their quarters are not
shaded. With mature stock the egg
production will be cut down quite
largely because of excessive heat.
Ducks are especially susceptible to
the direct rays Of the hot sun, and
one should never attempt to raise
them unless they have shade. Poultry
houses set on blocks so that the chicks
can go underneath or orchards. patches
Of corn, etc, are measures which can
be easily employed. Farmers will
find that a cornfeld will make n
Of the most satisfactory places for
raising the young as soon as they do
not require the close attention neces-
sary during their early life.
Patches OF sunfowers planted now
will be of great value later on. and
the better growth the chicks will
make and the increased egg produc-
ton will repay we'll any efforts made
to provide more comfortable quarters
for the poultry iocks.
