very meekly all week in a local tour,
were forced to hire taxicab and haul
bruin into the rear seat
This he completely filled when the auto
started to carry him to his destination,

noted by all Everyone was made to
feel perfectly at home and it was
refreshing to witness the eyer-increas-

tances were formed and old ones re-
newed.

thusiasm of those present, and words
of encouragement and good cheer felt
from the lips of numerous speakers.
DR.. Iavid Cooper, of Broadway Bap-
tist church, started the ball rolling
| with stirring talk on Odd Fellow
shin from a christian standpoint. The
speaker was frequently interrupted by
round after round of applause and at
its conclusion was given a perfect
ovation, which left every one feeling
it was good to be there.
Hon. |. r. Mason was then called
for and gave a graphic and interest
| ing story of the ups and downs OF
| Odd Fellowship in Ardmore in the
past two or three decades, because
odd Fellows were among the first
settlers and citizens of Ardmore. His
| talk was received with genuine relish
as he portrayed some of the pioneer
work as compared with that of the
present day.

OUR ROLE AFTER THE WAR.

The real test of American democ-
racy will come during the next five
years period, writes C. L. Penny in
American Industries for April. The
end of the next decade will determine
whether or not we shall become and
remain one of the great industrial
powers of the world. Now is Amer
ica's opportunity, which if seized, will
assure her Industrial independence. If
passed, we shall become a secondary
power and if not subjected by actual
welfare against which the whole coun-
try is now crying preparedness" we
shall later be virtually subjected by a
financial conquest, vastly more subtle
and difficult to combat. Over and
above all of this discussion lies the
dormant and all-conquering inventive
genius of a nation. In the face of the
wonders it has produced in the past
no one can predict the future condi-
tions with safety. 1t may be that no
matter what national strait we might
find ourselves in, our great inventors
would find a way out. But it will be
well to remember that the way of the

MARY JANE WAT CHES BILLY ROBIN.

Such a busy time as there was in
the garden during those early spring
days!
The boy who lived in the house
raked up the paths and carried out all
the rubbish that had accumulated
during the winter. Mary Jane straight
ened vines and sorted out seeds and
helped her father on the days when
he came home early to dig in the gar
den.
How BILLY Robin did love those dig
ging days. Father turned over grear
piles of moist, brown earth and, for
tunately for Billy, Mary Jane could not
work as fast as he could, 50 there was
plenty of time for Billy to gobble up
a worm or two before Mary Jane
broke up the big Jumps of earth and
allowed the worms to hide.
Look at hint" laughed Mary Jane.
when Billy had been especially bold
and greedy: "fe took that worm from
under my very ncse-almost."
Father stopped mis- digging and
looked at Billy. .-Of course ! can't be
sure" he said. but that looks to me
like the same robin who lived in the
apple tree last year. If 1t is, it's no
wonder he's not afraid of YOU He
knows you're an old friend. Let's wait
minute and watch He's cycling
that other worm over there. Let's see
what he does with it,
so Idlnef SlOOd St1ii ana teamed on
his spade and Mary Jane leaned on
her rake just the same way and they
both watched Billy Robin.
He didn't seem to mind one bit; or
perhaps he didn't notice the attention
he was attra cting-he was so busy
worm hunting
He watched one big, wiggling angle
worm as il squirmed itself out of a
clod of earth and then. just when it
was free, he darted down and caught
| it in his bill
Now watch and see how he eats
| it," whispered father.
But, dear me- Billy Robin didn't
eat ii at all.
He flew away as fast as ever he
could to the apple tree where Mrs.
