GRAND MASTER MOORE WELL
PLEASED,

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 4, 1917
Especial to the Globe u. G. Moore,
d. G. NJ. of the Grand United Order
of Odd Fellows of Tennessee Is back
from his first annual trip and is now
full of smiles after visiting the Grand
Secretary's office and seeing how
loyal the brothers are to his call to
the supporter the Endowment plan
He says with few exceptions the
lodges from Shelby to Carter have
adopted the plan. And not only that.
but since it has been circulated that
the order is to have an Endowment
Department and all members who are
financial when 1t goes into effect will
be admitted regardless Of age, has
caused the members who left the Or
der to rush back as the plan Is on
the age limit. He also signed appll-
cations for new lodges and he feels
very much encouraged and says this
is a proof of the care that the broth
ers have for their families. For
every loyal man to his family is de-
sirous OF leaving something for his
loved ones when he is gone.
Grand Master Moore is now plan
ming to organize the order into
DISTRICTS, and to appoint deputies
in each district. Each district is to
have a corps of officers and execu-
tive committee, social committee
whose duty it shall be to see after
the condition of the lodges and House
holds in their respective districts.
Said committees are to report to the
District meeting their financial and
numerical condition and the number
of new members in eachlodge and
Household and assist each other in
a financial way by giving entertain
ments, etc. There will be prize
given the lodge making the largest
number of members in each district
Each district shall hold quarterly
meetings. He is of the opinion that
this will serve to strengthen the Or
der and put the members in touch
with each other.

In memory of my departed friend,
Mrs. Susie Elliott nee (Dysart) of
Pennington, Tenn.
A bitter grief, shock severe,
To part with one loved so dear;
often sit and think of you,
When l am all alone;
For memory is the only thing
That grief can call its own.
Oh, Susie how sad when l learned
you had gone from this world of ours!
Shocking as it came l know you are
better off. When we met at my home
in Tennessee, we have been friends,
yes intimate even since. | loved you
and wrote you all | knew to get you
well, but as l wrote you about your
babe that preceded you to the heavens
beyond and planted in the depths be-
low
AS one we stand as one we fall
To only one we nod,
He who governs us rules all
The just and living God.
That all was we'll with him and
God knew best, being too wise to
make mistake you would under
stand it better after awhile. Though
longing for home and your mothers
caress, to say good bye mamma and
papa is sad, God had planned his
majesty when you were praying to
see them to say those parting words,
and instead of letting you see home
in mourning as it was, called you
into beautiful city, where sickness,
sorrow nor death ever enters. How
much happier it is going into
a strange place with some one you
knew, some one you loved (your
baby than in a strange place looking
around hunting for those who had
left your villages, years, months,
weeks and days ago. | shall nto for

your heart was in sorrow for your

Rest, rest sweet dreams of rest
You only know, Susie" which life
is best.
Yes, l say, dream on in the Savior's
breast
For whoever tolls for him, shall
rest, shall rest.
Many years ago you heard about
the two paths of life and in listening
to some divine of God, chose the sick
which gave you this eternal rest.
How happy it is to rest in the Say
tours arms. Your church shall miss
you, every one that has met you was
always welcomed with your loving
smiles. You shall be missed in your
school room. And worst of all that
vacant chair and the sounds of your
footsteps in your mothers home.
Four weeks have passed, my heart
still sore,
AS time flies on l miss you more;
You sleep, we leave you in peace to
rest,
The parting is painful, but God
knoweth best,

WHAT THE PRESS SAYS o
WOODBEY'S LECTURES.

HE went on to prove in very
logical way that the early nations of
antiquity, the founders Of all the arts
and sciences were Negroes. The Chal-
deans, the Egyptians and Carthage
mans were Negro People. His argu-
ments were founded upon the Bible
and on the writings of Herodotus and
other ancients." Riverside Daily news,
California.
The Negro in Ancient History was
scholarly, logical and full of history.

ON The LAST LAP.
Trade Boosters in Rich Topeka
Territory Today.
They Will Return to City Late
This Afternoon.

The Topeka trade trip boosters,
after a most enjoyable night at En-
poria, began the last lap of their
three-day tour this morning at $50
after a hearty breakfast at the Har-
vey house in the William Allen White
town.
This morning when the boosters
crawled from the berths of their Pull
man the sun was shining brightly and
everybody felt ready for the big
hurrah finish of the trip. However.
soon after the train pulled out the
clouds began to gather and Jupiter
Pluvius seemed trying to dampen the
enthusiasm. However he was having
a hard job of it.
The itinerary this morning took the
Topekans thru some of the richest
trade territory of the county, Reading,
Barclay and Burlingame being some
of the towns visited
Reading was the first stop this
morning and the same' big reception
was given the party that it has re-
ceived every place the rattlers have
been silenced. The schools dismissed
in honor of the visitors and the stu
dents marshed up town and back to
the train with the commercial mis-
sion.
At Barclay E. F.. Painter, one of
the leading merchants, was out of the
city, but everything possible was done
to show the visitors they were well
come At Burlingame DR.. c. w. Stahl,
president of the Commercial club, was
at the head of the reception commit
tee and the big blow off" of the
morning was held at this place. Bur
lingame, by the way. is one of the
richest towns in Topeka's trade terri
tory and the merchants and business
men made the Topekans feel that they
were very much at home
At Harveyville, where Ed Groat a
| former Topekan, is a leading mer-
chant and where the Harveyville
Monitor has gotten out a special edi-
ton in honor of the boosters and to
| boost the liberty loan, the Fopekans
expect big reception this afternoon.
Lunch today was to be taken at Nc
Farland and the trade missionaries ex-
pect to arrive back in Topeka late this
afternoon.

MUNITION PLANT "UP"
Blasts Continue for an Hour as Flames
Sweep Factory.

Montrak, Oct. 26.-Tremendous ex-
plosions destroyed part of the plant
of the Canada Explosives company at
Vaudreuil this morning.
A special train carrying fire fighting
apparatus has been sent from Mon
treal. Early reports indicated that
there had been no loss of life. The
detonations continued for an hour.
The sky was lit up as tho by rainbows
with the multi-colored flames of burn
ing acids. The explosions are believed
to have started from fire discovered in
a shell filling building. A heavy wind
blew the flames straight across the
plant.
The company employs about 1900
men.
The damage is now estimated at

WEATHERS STORM
French Cabinet Given Vote of
Confidence by Deputies.
RibOt in Dramatic Plea De-
mands' AIsace-LOrraine.

Paris. oct 26-The new Painleve
cabinet today had weathered its first
test of strength in the chamber of
deputies, and, according to the Paris
press, seemed likely to continue in
power.
Last night the chamber of deputies
voted 2SS to 1877 on a vote of conf
dence in the new ministry.
The vote came after Former Pre-
mier Ribot, just transferred by Pre-
mier Painleve from the portfolio of
foreign minister to minister of state
and member of the war council, in
place of NJ. Barthou. had aroused
great enthusiasm by a speech re-em-
phasizing Frances determination to
reclaim Alsace-Lorraihe
Alsace "StoIen From Us" in III.
Ribot chose a paraphrase of Ger
man Foreign Secretary Won Kuehl-
mann's recent speech as his text.
Can France make any concessions
fore his auditors could answer in the
negative. he added dramatically:
"No-neveri"
"AIsace-Lorraine must be on the
shield of France. We do not want it
by annexation-but by dis-annexa ton
Territory stolen from US in 1871
is no different from land invaded in
1914"
Ribot made a powerful plea for all
the allies to stand by Russia at the
forthcoming Paris conference and to
aid in smashing the German diplo-
matte offensive"
DenOunces Secret Treaties.
NJ. Barthou, the new foreign minis
ter, was well received in his maiden
speech. His main argument was de-
voted to denunciation of secret diplo-
macy.
1T is astounding that democracies
can be tied by secret treaties he de-
clared. During the last seven years
France was so tied. 1t must never
happen again."
The minister affirmed the solidarity
of France and Russia and expressed
his pleasure that not one word had
ever been heard of the allies or of
Russia abandoning that complete SYM
pathy of aims and purposes.
