GRAND LODGE OF ODD FELLOWS IN ANNUAL SESSION Grand Master Stiefelmeyer Will Make RecOmmenda-
 tions of Vital Interest GRAND SECRETARY TO
 BE LOCATED HERE Report of Grand Master Shows Much Activity Among Subordi-
 nate Lodges-Many Dele
 gates in Attendance

The Odd Fellows of the state of Ala bama are very much interested in the seventy-seventh annual session of the grand lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, which convenes in Fraternal hall this morning at 10 o'clock, when rep resentatives from 800 different lodges from all sections of Alabama will gather for their annual meeting.
 Grand Master George Stiefelmeyer will call the meeting to order without any
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-05-08

public exercises and the body will im- medately begin work
 The meeting this year is of especial interest in that Grand Master Stiefel- meyer has placed before the various subordinate lodges a number of recom- mendations as to changes in the work of the order. Perhaps the recommendation of greatest interest is the one which proposes to locate the office of the grand secretary of the order in Birmingham, and it is generally conceded by those In closest touch with the order that this recom- mendation will be carried due largely to the fact that Birmingham is the tmost central point and for the economy that can be put into effect by having the office located here.
 It is planned that the grand secretary shall do active work among the various lodges and these lodges can be reached with less expense and much greater ease from Birmingham than from any other point in the state.
 Grand Master Stiefelmeyers report shows that he has instituted number of new lodges in various sections of the state and the order has been very active in taking in new members during the past year.
 GRAND LODGE OFFICERS
 The grand lodge officers for this ses- sion are as follows: George Stiefelmeyer. grand master, Cullman; Palmer P. Dau- gette, deputy grand master, Birmingham: Elliott G. Rickarby, grand warden, Mo bile; H. c. Pollard, grand secretary. Huntsville; NC. Bowie grand treasurer, Talladega; l.. N. Buell., grand marshal. Culman; NJ. A. Peek. grand conductor, Arab; E. R.

Big Ranch Man on Subject.

In conversation with the manager
of one Of the largest ranches in the
valley and big employer of labor
as we'll as a close student of local
conditions. he said:
Il want to urge on the farmers tho
necessity of taking prompt steps to
secure labor supply for this fall.
The expense now will be trifling and
they will get it back a dozen times
when harvest time comes. The need
of labor in the valley is pressing and
more than 5000 men will be required
to harvest the crops this fall The
demand is general all over the country
and the man who goes to work now
is the lucky one. Later the labor sup
ply will be shorter and prices will be
higher. l hope every farmer in the
valley will sign the agreement to be
presented Tuesday,"

SALMON PACK POOR
FISH LESS PLENTIFUL THIS

Only About 20 Per Cent of Full
Pack Has Been Taken in

Seattle, Aug. 1.-THE Bering sea
salmon pack is reported extremely
poor. One large company has closed
its canneries and brought back its
men five weeks earlier than usual
there being no fish in their usual
runways. This company in its Ber-
ing sea canneries put up only one
fourth its last years pack. The Ber-
ing Sea season opened unfortunate
ly, with the loss of three sailing
ships loaded with cannery supplies
.and crews. There was no loss OF
life, but vessels and cargoes were d
total loss.
Western and southwestern Alaska
,are reported producing 70 per cent OF
i full pack. Southeastern Alaska has
more fish than the canneries can take
'care of.
. Up to August the sockeye salmon
yum on Puget Sound, the quadrennia

Gamers say there is plenty of time

\. P. HTES PREPARED
HAS ENORMOUS STOCK OF FARM
IMPLEMENTS.
Shipments Have Been Coming in All
Summer Preparing for Great De-
mand Expected This Fall.

A fair estimate of the expected
needs OF the Imperial Valley farmer
during harvest time may be had by
an inspection Of the large H. ?.
Fites farm implement house III Fl
Centre.
Throughout the entire summer the
establishment has been receiving car
load shipments of farm implements
until now the storerooms seem to
hold enough machinery ia supply
counties several times the size of I'M
perial.
Greater acreage, under war time
need, it is believed, will make the To-
cal demand for farm implements
greater this fall than in many sea-
sons.

A Draft Revolution.

As might have been expected, the
resistance to the draft which has de
veloped in Oklahoma is almost entire
ly among ignorant men, half-breeds'
Indians and negroes, who have been
influenced by violent characters TO
the conviction that they have been
treated wrongly and that their rights
have been sacrificed. Already blood
has been shed in the armed disorders
they have aroused and more Is likely
to follow.
There Is hut one thing Ter the gov
eminent 10 do in handling this situa-
ton, and that Is to brook no half
way measures ana no compromises.
The rebels must be compelled to lay
down arms and submit voluntarily and
peacefully to the draft, or they must
be captured and imprisoned. 1t is 70
be hoped this can he done with a
few fatalities as possible. but it must
be done. The bands appear to con-
trol considerable territory wherein
they can take refuge. and il they are
not routed out they will speedily de-
generate into robber groups, terroriz-
ing and piliaging, while their strong
hold will become a camp Of refuge 10
which will flee many more cravens
from other sections.
The strong arm is the only answer
that may be made to them.
