THE MEXICO MAsONS
ANNUAL ROLL-CALL.

A committee for Hebron Lodge,
No. 354, A. F. and A. M, has sent
out to each of the Lodge members the
following letter:
Dear Sir and Brother:
On May 10th next the Annual Roll
Call meeting of the Blue Lodge will
take place. 1t is going to be Ma
sonic Meeting, and that means much
to each of us, by virtue of the pride
we have in Masonry.
You recall the first meeting on May
20, 1915-there were friends of yours
there that you either did not know,
or had forgotten, that they were Ma
sons. But it did you good to see
them in the Lodge. The second meet
Shg in 1916 was even better. The
third meeting, the one to come, has
unlimited possibilities, because among
the Blue Lodge Masons there is no
longer a division of interest, sympa-
thy, or loyalty. Therefore the result
OF this meeting should spell sue
CESS. If you were at the meeting
last year we think you will be back.
If you were not, then come this year,
out of curiosity, and see what it is
like. If you were not repaid you will
lose nothing but your time.
1t is our purpose to have all the
members of the fraternity residing
in the jurisdiction of this Lodge,
holding their membership elsewhere,
present at this meeting, that they
may participate in our pleasure, and
be accorded an invitation to become
members of Hebron Lodge. Make it
your fraternal duty to induce every
and all Master Masons to attend on
this occasion.
Your committee while handling
the "laboring oar" for this occasion
has undertaken to provide entertain,
ment and refreshments for the even
ing. The entertainment will be "im,
ported" and brand new. We have en-
deavored to disregard the high cos
of living, both in quality and guam
tity of the refreshments. Therefore
your attendance on the appointed
night is earnestly desired, that botl
the Lodge and your Committee ma!
see that they have not labored il
vain. Fraternally yours,

FROM OKLAHOMA.

L. H, Jasper, formerly of Mexico,
writes The Message the following
short note from Roosevelt, Oklahoma:
"This is April 80, 1917. We are
very busy getting our crops planted
Cotton is in full progress. Had a
nice rain. Wheat, oats and alfalfa
are growing nicely. Wheat is begin
ming to head. Most of it will be
short. But with favorable season
from now on it will make very
good crop, considering the value.
Gardens are backward, on account of
late spring and cold weather. Good
prospect for fruit, except peaches are
thinned out by late frosts."
Mr.. Jasper is getting along all right
down in that Oklahoma country.

hear the returns from the New York-Chi-
cago game Wednesday afternoon at New
York was small the smallest that ever fac
ed the Journal Office on such an occasion.
The enthusiasm was also conspicuous by its
feebleness and the crowd was not to be
blamed for that-for the same reason.
1t was apparent that most OF the $50
or 200 people who finally assembled. had a
that New York was planning to
regain some of the ground lost in the two
games captured by Chicago on the latter's
grounds and that suspicion grew as the
game went on. for about all the cheering
that came from the blue and chilled lips was
for the home team, New York.
