section where hogs were raised for

Poland Chinas had much to COM

tics were early maturity and rapid

breed, was such that hog could be
matured much earlier and much

ORIGIN OF MASONRY

have been predicated upon some
other purpose than the fundamental
purposes of either church or state.
The time has not existed from
the worlds earliest history down to
date when men did not need the
friendly counsel, sympathy and as
sistance of other men.
Mr.. Webster defines "fraternar
as becoming as brethren" The
same authority defines fraternity
as the state of being brethren.
When we treat these two definitions
singly, then put them together, we
have something of interest. Fra.
ternal" is becoming as brethren" so
when we become members of the
Masonic lodge, fraternal institu.
ton, we are merely in the attitude
to become as brethren, but have
not done so for the reason that we
have not had time or opportunity
to show the effect of the lessons
which Masonry has taught us. But
Fraternity" means the state of
being brethren" and right there our
attention is called to the fact that
there is vast difference in a fra
ternal institution in mere name and
a fraternity in fact.
There can be no better. short
definition of the Masonic lodge than
to say that it is a band of brethren,
working in peace and harmony,
banded together for mutual pleas
ure and profit, and for the good of
not only those who take its obliga-
tions, but for the world at large.
In our imagination, then, we can
look back to the time, now hoary
with age, when men, realizing that
all men need the sympathy, en-
couraeement and assistance of other
men and realizing, too, that there
was no organization whose purpose
was to exclusively perform this
separate and distinct work that
mankind needed so much, this in
stitution within whose walls we
stand tonight was brought to light
and life, as an aid to man in better
living and in order that men might
have closer and better under
standing of each other.
This we would call the origin of
this order, Masonry originated in
the hearts of men who, perceiving
the need, wanted to do the world a
service, and the purposes of this in
stitution have never changed from
that day to this hour. The wisest
and best Masons of all ages have
never attempted to distort these
purposes into something greater or
to pervert them into anything less.
These remarks should not be
closed without congratulations to
the lodge at Evening Shade upon
the efficiency of its work, the clean
illness of its conduct, its zeal for
the institution and the commend
able interest of its members one
for the other, The reputation of
this lodge extends far and wide as
one of the most active and loyal
organizations in the state, and this
fact should be and is a matter of
pride to each member of the lodge.
Particularly is this lodge to be
congratulated upon the fact that it
has yet among Its members our old
brother Joseph Ault. Notwitb-
standing the fact that the passing
touch of eiehty.two winters has
frosted his head and slackened his
step, the flight Of time has not been
able to dim or dampen his ardor
for the lodge or for his brethren,
and he Is yet able and willing to
perform the ceremonies of installa-
tion in such beautiful and impress
sive manner We feel safe in say

For the first time in three years a

early yesterday morning on Main

they found nothing OF value and, after

the big haul was made Entrance to

The Union Amalgamated Mining
company was formed here Saturday
for the purpose OF taking over the
Amalgamated, Earl and Litigation Hill
properties in Manhattan and the
Priest mill formerly known as the Wit
tenberg mill. Hereafter these pro
perties and the mill will be operated
under one management.
The new company is in excellent
shape for a sustained production as
the winter was spent in mine develop
ment owing to the fact that it was i'm
possible to haul to the mill. On
March 27th the mill began running and
is now going to full capacity with
over a years supply of ore in sight.
The group Is situated west of the Man
haitian Con. and north of the Man
haitian Con. and White Caps. L. l..
Mushett is in charge of the opera
tions. Fifteen men are employed in
the mine.
At the Saturday meeting Manager
Mushett read a report to the effect
that both mine and mill are working
satisfactorily with about 10000 tons
in sight on the Litigation Hill property
alone. Thus far no ore has beer
taken from the Earl or Amalgamatec

thirty per cent more than last year,
and next year will have another forty
per cent added to the bill. This was
provided for by the finance act of

hard but there is little grumbling and
the collectors report that the tax has
been paid even earlies than 1t was last
year, when the large tax payers sur
prised the treasury by paying long
before it was due.
An effort has also been made to in
crease the amount received from in

earners and providing that all income
wherever derived shall be subject to
taxation Before the war those earn
ing less than 100 pounds were exempt;
now the figure has been lowered to 13O
pounds but these smaller wage earn
ers have been given the privilege OF
paying quarterly instead of yearly.
