Rev. Mou&1ie Accorded
a Great Masonic Honor

The Masonic fraternity of Valley
City, and representatives from the
lodges at Sanborn, Rogers and Leal;
have reasons to ever remember the
evening of Jan. Z, 1916. The occasion
was the presentation of commission
as representative of the grand lodge
of England to the grand lodge of
North Dakota, to Rev. L. G. MOultrie.
The presentation address was made
by Grand Secretary w. L. StockWell,
of Fargo
This is an honor that cannot be
lightly esteemed. 1t is a great honor
to the local lodge of Masons to have
this commission come to one of its
members, and the honor bestowed up
on Mr.. Moultrie is an honor which
could hardly be greater, coming as 1t
does from the grand lodge of England,
which is the mother grand lodge of
present day Masonry. Grand Secre-
tary Stockwell, in making the presen-
tation address, emphasized the honor
conferred upon Mr.. Moultrie and the
honor which falls to the lodge there
by He touched upon the years of en-
joyment of personal friendship with
Mr.. Moultrie, and, incidentally men
toned some "reminiscences of a trip
across the continent with Mr.. MOul-
trie last summer, much to the enjoy
ment OF all present. Mr.. MOultrie
was almost overwhelmed with sur.
prise, as this great honor came so un-
expectedly, together with the excep.
tional large number of members and
visitors being present without him, as
an officer of the lodge, being party
to the arrangements. He responded
to the presentation address with we'll
chosen words suitable to the occasion,
as he is ever able to do so fttingly,
and, at a banquet a few hours later, he
responded to the toast "All man are
liars" n
The commission Is done in hand
work engrossed upon pure parchment
and is a work Of art. It is in itself a
thing Of beauty and certainly will be a
JOY forever. It was closely scrutinized
by all present, who marveled at its
wonderful penmanship.
After adjournment the members con-
vened at a seyen-course banquet serv-
ed by the Hotel Kindred, over one hum
dred being present. Toasts were re-
sponded to by Brothers Winterer,
Moultrie, VIM. Smith, Englert and
Stockwell. Brother E. A. Pray acted
as toast-master, a responsibility that
hangs upon his shoulders absolutely
without weight. Mr.. Stockwell's res.
ponse was in the line of instruction in
living the masonic life. 1t was much
appreciated. The after-dinner talks
were interspersed by several numbers
rendered by male quartet composed
of such celebrities as Jules B. Meyer,
s. A. Zimmerman, G. E. Hunt and F.
H. Buckwalter. We cannot voice our
opinion of this quartet in technical or
musical terms, but we can say it was
good, therefore there must have been
harmony. This quartet delighted the
audience; it certainly did it's part to
make the occasion joyous one. The
banquet arose at 1880, peace and har-
mony prevailing.

Barley Record to n. D.

\ Grand Forks, Jan. 1O.--For the first
time in history, North Dakota has
produced more barley than any other
state. The record was attained the
past growing season, according to A.
]. Surratt, field agent OF the govern
ment, who has headquarters here.
The total barley yield was 44,800, 1000
bushels. This gives North Dakota first
honors in three grain crops-winter
wheat, flax and barley.

NATIONAL ELECTION
At This Writing Ii Seems That Pres
ident Wilson Is Surely Reelected

The Register has been badly delayed
this week to get election returns hop
ing all the time to be able to bring
cheering message TO its readers, but
at this writing il seems that it is i'm
possible longer TO hope for the cleo
tion of Mr.. Hughes, and even If cleo
ed his hands would be tied by an ad-
verse congress. democratic in both
branches. but by reduced majorities.
II has been by far the closest pres
idential election since 1884, and even
at this time the official figures could
easily change enough electoral votes
to change the result, but the trend Of
late returns is all in the presidents
favor and it is more likely to increase
than get closer now.
The first returns came from the big
eastern states and were all in favor
of Mr.. Hughes. Both Hughes and
Fairbanks carried their home states
and the president and vice-president
each lost their home states early in
the returns, and everything indicated
landslide to the republican candi-
date A little later it became evident
that Ohio had broken away from the
turns began to come in and all favor
ing President Wilson. These victories
continued to grow until by noon We'd
nesday the situation seemed to favor
him, and the general trend since has
continued the same way 1t now looks
like in the great west which has al
ways been a republican stronghold the
democrats have carried practically
everything. West Of the Mississippi
river only Iowa, South Dakota and
possibly Minnesota are carried by Mr.
Hughes. Even Utah, which remained
true to Mr.. Taft, in the overwhelming
landslide Of 1912, is now found in the
Wilson column.
For the first time since the war,

better organization and so much more
reunited that the future prospects look
bright compared to what faced the

practice that he could not afford to
go around. He ran well in the two or
three precincts where he vas known
but elsewhere his opponent, DIR. Shell
Ter was an easy winner.
There was large crowd around re-
publican headquarters all night and
the first returns showing the big
eastern states safe for Hughes caus-
ed much rejoicing. These figures were
changed when returns came in for the
states west of the Mississippi river
and the tide quickly changed to Wilson
and the rejoicing switched to the
other fellows who also had the state
returns to crow over. Wednesday
night the tide turned again and now
everybody is holding his breath and
waiting to be sure.

HERD LAW LOST
Decisive Vote Against II in All Parts
of the State

While accurate figures could not he
obtained yet enough is known to show
that the Denver Posts herd law has
been decisively defeated in all sec
tions of the state. Most of the pre-
cincts to the south of Lamar in Prov
ers and Baca counties, where the SEN
timent was supposed to be strongest
in favor of it, were found to have vot-
ed against it. In many cases the at
tempt of the Post to mislead the
voters with a misleading title reacted
as a large number Of favorable voters
were fooled by the wording Of the
title to vote "no" when they really
wanted to vote "yes." This only proves
what all older residents Of the state
have known that the Post can't help
