PROPOSED CLUB
WELL RECEIVED

Most OF the men interested in the
new Wapello County Auto club living
out of the city we're unable to attend
the meeting at the Commercial rooms
Tuesday evening, but those who were
there from the city we're enthusiastic
over the idea of forming an organiza-
ton like that proposed. There was
considerable discussion by the men
over the plans and they were in favor
of getting a building of some kind for
club rooms and headquarters, where
the members, visitors and tourists
could be welcomed and made to feel at
home The primary object is to pro-
vide place where motorists from the
surrounding country and neighboring
towns may stop while here. The
financial end is of course the big prob
lem and the getting Of a large number
of members is necessary. The COM
mittee on organization, which held a
meeting last week, made a report
Tuesday evening and made many sug-
gestions. They recommended that
the rules and laws Of the former OF
tumwa Auto club be used as model
for the bylaws of the new club. Sew
eral improvements were offered In the
discussion which followed.

.0DO FELLOWS ARE
OPPOSED TO WAR.
cHILLIcOTHE LODGE PASSES RES.
oLUTIoNs FAvoRING PEACE
AND ARBITRATION.

The l. 0. o. F. lodge Of Chillicothe
takes stand for universal peace and
the abolition of war as means of
settling international controversies.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed by this lodge:
Whereas, a great war now in
progress in Europe is causing an un.
paralleled sacrifice Of life and proper
ty in direct violation Of the teaching
of the Master, and
We, as Odd Fellows, fraternal So
ciety whose principles are expressed
In our motto: Friendship, Love and
Truth" believe that all men are broth
ers, and who teach obedience to law,
allegiance to the flag, loyalty to gov
eminent, even to the laying down Of
our lives in its behalf, are convinced
that it is now time for all civilized ma
tons to voice protest against war
and to give consideration to some in
ternational agreement that will, If
possible. prevent the destruction of
life. homes and property and the bar
barisms of modern war
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
request the president, the congress Of
the United States and the governors
and legislatures of the several states
to take such action as may seem best
to curb and control the spirit of mill
tarism now so widespread in every
civilized country, and to use their best
efforts to secure the adoption of some
worldwide agreement tending toward
universal peace.
And be it resolved, that we, as an
order, disappearing the further In,
crease in the construction of navies
and the creation of armies, except as
may be necessary for the protection
of our national honor and life, favor
the building up and the cultivation OF
q healthy sentiment Of honor to peace
full occupations. We further urge that
some plan be devised whereby the dis
putes of nations likely to lead to
war may be settled by arbitration
without the appeal to arms.
And be it resolved, that as an order,
we request all churches and fraternal
organizations to take some steps as
they may deem best to create senti-
ment throughout the civilized world

ing her innocence, she had been
turned out into the night and told to

turn to the house she had disgraced,
James Brood heard of her death
when In the heart of China, and he
was a haggard wreck for months
thereafter. He had worshiped this
beautiful Viennese. He could not
wreak vengeaice upon a dead woman;
he could not hate dead woman. He
had always loved her. A few years
after his return to New York he
brought her son back to the house
IN lower Fifth avenue and tried, with
bitterness In his soul, to endure the
word father" as it fell from lips to
which the term was almost strange.
The old men, they who sat BY the
FIRE ON this wind-swept night and
waited for the youth of twenty-five to
whom the blue missive was addressed
knew the story of James Brood and
his wife Matilde and they knew thai
the former had no love In his heart
for the youth who bore his name
Their lips were sealed. Garrulous OF
all other subjects, they we're as silen

constrained to hate the lad. He made
not the slightest pretense of appreciat

time. As for Lydia, pretty little
Lydia, he adored her. His heart be-
gan for the first time to sing with
the Joy Of youth, and the sensation
was a novel one. It had seemed TO
him that he could never be anything
but an old man.
1t was his custom, on coming home
for the night, no matter what the hour
may have been, to pause before Lyd-
las door on the way to his own room
at tho other end of the long hall.
/ Usually. however, he was at home
long before her bedtime, and they
spent the evenings together. That she
was his fathers secretary was of no
moment. To him she was Lydia-his
Lydia.
For the past three months or more
he had been privileged to hold her
close in his arms and to kiss her good
night at parting! They were lovers
now. The slow fuse Of passion had
reached its end and the fame was
alive and shining with radiance that
enveloped both of them.
On this night, however, he passed
her door without knocking. His dark
handsome face was flushed, and his
teeth were set in sullen anger. With
his hand on the knob of his own door
he suddenly remembered that he hat
failed Lydia for the first time, ant
stopped. A pang Of shame sho
through him. For moment he hest
tated and then started guiltily towart
the forgotten door. Even as he raise'
his hand to sound the loving signal
the door was opened and Lydia, full,
dressed, confronted him. For me
ment they regarded each other i
silence, she intently, he with astonist
ment not quite free from confusion.
"I'm-I'm sorry, dearest" he b'
gan, his first desire being to accour
for his oversight.
Tell me what has happened?
