MACCABEEs WOULD LIKE
TO RETURN TO THIS CITY


TO RETURN TO THIS CITY
The state convention of the L. o.
T. NJ. o. T. W. in Missouri expressed
a desire to return 10 Mexico for the
1916 meeting. A vote TO this effect
was passed, but Mrs. May A. C. Som
mers, the State Commander, says this
will be impossible as the convention
must be passed around to the various
towns over the state. 1t will return
TO Mexico before many years how
ever, she said.
A number of the delegates remain
ed in this city over Thursday for the
big horse sale. Many of the womer
are admirers of good horse flesh and
wished to see the good ones sold.
The resolutions passed by the con
vention are as follows:
To the Delegates and Members of
the SEVENTH QUADRENNIAL
Convention of the LADIES OF THE
MACCABEES OF THE WORLD"
in Missouri.
Greetings
1t is with great pleasure, your Com
mittee IN Resolutions, submits for
your approval, the following express
sions of appreciation for the many
eourtesies and cordial hospitality ex-
tended TO us all during this very en-
joyable harmonious and greatly bene-
fetal Convention, the best we have
ever attended in Missouri.
Never in the history of its existen-
ce, has our Grand old State deserved
our admiration SO justly and our
claim for it as one Of the best States
in the greatest Country of the world.
AS guests at our previous Conven-
tons, held in various other Cities in
Missouri, we have always been ac-
corded most cordial welcome and
pleasant entertainment during our
stay, but on no previous occasion,
have we been made 70 feel so keenly,
the true Southern hospitality and sis
terly love so lavishly bestowed upon
us while guests of the Hives in this
beautiful city of Mexico. The name
Mexico" in this decade, causes us to
shrink with horror from e of
crime, outrageous discord and muir
der because Of the uncivilized war
conditions existing in a Country
which knows no unity of purpose, no
love of peace hence no government.
But what a glorious contrast between
Mexico at war-and our Mexico in
perfect peace, the popular and pros
porous City of which we are at pres
ent the fortunate guests-Mexico in
Missouri. The Mexico known world
wide for its thoroughbreds. If we
would believe the natives Of Mexico,
Missouri, we would feel that only
Mexico, No., folks are worth while,
and that the only salvation to be con-
sidered anybody at all, is to be a ma
tive of some other Missouri City.
For instansce, here is the home of
our worthy District Deputy, Miss
Elizabeth Sanford-who knows her
must have heard frequently the prais-
es of Mexico, Mo. We have always
regarded Miss Sanford as a very
truthful young woman, but we are
compelled at times to doubt her YER
acity when she praises her dear old
Mexico, Mo-, as well as when accom-
panying her on visits TO other cities
no matter where, she elaimi
that every attractive or popular per.
son she meets "came from Mexico
Mo- However, we all love her fol
that same loyalty she manifests fol
our beloved Order.
Resolved that we consider the
Motto adopted for this Convention
very appropo, since We note from the
example of the Mexico Missouri lad,
les, that to keep Smiling" brings
good cheer, harmony and prosperity
Surely when the time comes for US
to take our departure from this granC
old Missouri town-we will unite ii
singing ooh Mexico, we hate to CO.
Resolved, that we the members o.
this Convention express our apprecia
ton and gratitude, first to the officers
and members of Washington and Hol
lister Hives. To the various Com
mittees, namely: Reception, Conven
ton, Distributing, Decoration and In
formation, who have spared no effort
but have worked untiringly for ou'
entertainment, comfort and interests
To the "Odd Fellows Organization

allowing us the use of their hall. Trul,
