Masons Of Knox Look For
ward To Night Full
OF Great Pleasure

Master Masons of the city look for
ward to Monday Oct. 16, when the
splendid degree team of Newark
Lodge, f. & A. NJ, will appear in the
Masonic temple here for the purpose
of exemplifying the M. N. degree in
behalf of Mt. Zion lodge of this city.
Worshipful Master James w. Jones
Of Mt. Zion lodge announced at the
regular communication Friday night
that, after considerable trouble in
setting date satisfactory to both
parties, it had finally been deter
mined to have the Newark team come
to this city one week from next Mon
day.
About 20 Masons of this city at
tended lodge in Newark several
months ago and witnessed the work
of the Newark team. They were so
impressed at that time that an invi-
tation was forthwith extended the
Newark brethren to put on their work
in the local temple. The invitation
was accepted.
During the summer, Captain Coca
nour of the Newark team, with sew
eral assistants, made a special trip
to this city one Sunday, inspected
the local quarters and suggested what
would be necessary in order to ex-
emplify properly the work.
Worshipful Master Jones, carrying
out the suggestions of Captain Coca
nour, appointed Harry Hitner and L.
E. Rawlinson as committee on light
ing effects, while the officers of the
lodge were named to make any other
readjustments for the accommodation
of the Newark team.
1t was announced Friday night that
probably rs Master Masons of New
ark will be in attendance on the night
of the sixteenth. Preparations are
being made to care for this great
number of visiting brethren.
All lodges in Knox county, includ-
ing those stationed at Centerburg,
Fredericktown, Danville and Blad-
ensburg, will be invited by Mt Zion
lodge to attend the exemplification of
the work so that 1t becomes a big
county Masonic day.
The work of the Newark lodge and
team is superb. A new emphasis is
placed upon the ritual by the man
ner in which it is interpreted by the
Licking county team. Full, ancient
costuming is assumed, while the rem
dition of the work is exceedingly dra-
matte. Those who witnessed the de-
gree in Newark will look forward
with pleasure to seeing It again,
while those who have never watched
It, as handled by the Newark team,
will eagerly anticipate the arrival of
Monday night, October the sixteenth.

Undestrained Extravaganza
Skaters Ali Previous
Records
CROWLEY HELPED TO
APPROPRIATE A COIN
Governor Starting In To
Guido Himself In
Recklessness

Truly the administration of Frank
y. Willis as governor OF Ohio Is
epoch-making!
In the first place, Willis has shat
tered all records for legislative ap-
preparation, the total amount which
the general assembly-of which l..
Tate Cromley of Knox county is a
member-made available for the use
OF the numerous departments Of
state government for the year ending
June 80, 1916, being S30,S22, ,544.19.
Thirty millions of the peoples good
dollars. Think of it! OF this vast
amount, 19,695,902.33 was spent, a
little more than half, and yet this
tore all previous records to pieces.
In the second place. Willis left the
field-Campbell, Foraker, Mckinley,
Bushnell, Nash, Herrick, Pattison,
Harris, Harmon, Cox, etc.-way to
the rear in spending this last year
$519,801.79, over half million, more
than he took in. Worse and more of
it! An actual business deficit for
the Economical" Willis of half
million!
And, look here. Willis is not con.
tent with his previous speed records.
He has not gone fast enough. He in
tends to improve upon what he did in
1916, because, IL his present rate
keeps up, he will have spent by The
end of the next year the sum of
$20,S65, 900. Nineteen million was
not enough. He must raise 1t
million! What kind of economy is
this, the taxpayers query?
And, finally, Willis has placed an
other star in his crown. From Iron
ton to Sandusky and from Steuben-
vile to Celina, his voice beloved
forth in 1914 denouncing the sup
posed extravaganza of James M. Cox
in building up his alleged machine"
He proclaimed that more money was
spent by Cox in salaries than by any
official in the history of the state. If
such is the case, Willis has again
knocked a record into smithereens,
as he, the Good Young Governor
spent just s575,550.6O more in sal
aries than Cox used.
The prediction as to what will be
the net result in 1917 If Willis con-
tinues his frightful expenditures of
the peoples money is embodied in
a report issued just this week and
shows that Willis is indeed running
true to form.
With these figures coldly staring
him in the face--figures which he
cannot upset as they are those Of the
state bookkeeper, Vic Donahey--Wil-
lis only adds to his fame gained in
1914 as the champion political pre-
yaricator Of all ages, in shooting off
around the state that his administra-
tion has been one of economy. In
cidentally, he makes the people who
listen to him out fools.
Willis poured forth this economy
bunk at the Knox county fair. He is
gushing it daily. His scheme is this:
He recites a number OF departments
in which savings have been effected
and then deplores the fact that he
hasn't time" to go right through
each and every department and show
where Willis ECONOMY" has brought
wonderful savings for the taxpayers.
WILLIS HAS YET TO QUOTE TO-
TAILS. He doesn't dare!
