Another sketch OF a prominent army
officer:
BRIG. GEN. CLARENCE r. Ed
WARDS.
Commander of Northeastern Depart
ment
Born in Ohio January I. 1859. and
appointed to the Military Academy
from that State in 1873. In 1883 he
was appointed a second lieutenant in
the Twenty-third Infantry and con-
tinued in that arm Of the service un-
til appointed chief OF the Bureau OF
Insular Affairs in 1906. During the
war he was given
increased rank in the volunteers.
Extra pay for aviators must be
earned by actual flying. The Comp
troller of the Treasury has not been
swayed by an appeal OF the Secre-
tary OF the Navy, from a hard and
fast decision TO that effect. Comp
troller Warwick indicates his inten-
ton to interpret laws in his own
way and suggests that the Congress
is the place to seek changes in the
wording of the statute II the inter
probation by the accounting officers
Of the Treasury Department is not in
accord with the views OF the Secre-
tary OF the Navy.
The comptroller has denied several
claims for extra pay where the claim
ant plainly did not indulge in the art
OF flying or where there was a con-
siderable interval of time between
flights. One naval officer at Pensa-
cola suggested conditions under which
1t would work a hardship to deny
officers extra pay, but, as the situa-
ton did not apply to his case in
which a nonfiight status existed for
period OF six months. the comp
troller did not consider the sugges-
ton as part of the evidence in the
particular case. The suggestion by
the officer was as follows:
THE fact that circumstances over
which the personnel has no control
may arise has not apparently been
taken into consideration. For an
instance Of this kind. 1 beg to call
your attention to the hurricane OF
July ), 1916, which destroyed hangers
and school instruction machines to
such an extent that regular instruc-
ton was interrupted for a number of
months. The personnel on this sta
ton detailed for duty involving actual
flying were not responsible for this
condition of affairs, and it would not
appear entirely Just that they should
suffer therefrom."

PATRIOTISM RUNS
THROUGH MEETING
Pastmaster's Night of Persever-
ance Lodge Observed With
Many Speeches

Several hundred members of the Ma
sonic Fraternity gathered at the Ma
sonic Temple last night to enjoy the
annual Past Masters night of old Per-
severance lodge. These occasions are
always fraught with unusual interest
for members of the craft and last night
was no exception, many guests coming
from considerable distances to attend
the exercises.
Several past masters OF Perseverance
and sister lodges were present. A note
or patriotism ran through all that oc-
Cured during the evening and refer
ence was made in number of speeches
to the participation of Masonic patriots
in the wars of this country as we'll as
in the achievements of peace.
Arrangements for the event were in
the hands of Charles H. Hoffman, DIR.
j. M. j. Raunick, Clyde p. Love, w.
Harry Musser, Charles L. Sheaffer and
John M. Peregoy. The master of the
lodge, w. M. Ogelsby, was in the chair.
during the evening Masonic orches-
ira rendered patriotic music and all
present Joined in the singing.
Discusses Spirit OF Country
At the banquet which followed the
regular exercises of the evening w.
Harry Musser was the toastmaster and
discussed briefly in his Introductory re-
marks the spirit of the country in the
present world war He first called
upon one of the most popular members
of the Masonic fraternity in this city,
W. S. Snyder, the District Deputy
Grand Master, who responded in his
usual happy vein.
Notable among the speeches was that
by William NJ. Donaldson, who is one
of the pillars of Masonry in Pennsyl-
vania, having been identified with the
Grand Lodge and also in the construct
i've work of the Masonic Homes at
Elizabethtown. Mr.. Donaldson was at
his best last night and delivered a
most earnest and interesting address
upon the principles of the fraternity
and upon the underlying spirit which
should animate all it's members. Sem
ator Scott S. Leiby eloquently discussed
the relation of the fraternity to the
war and dwelt upon the great brother
hood which means so much to the
state and the nation.
Charles S. Duncan, of the Gettys-
burg lodge, graphically described some
incidents which occurred during the
famous battle of the Civil War in
which the Gettysburg Masons had DEM
onstrated the tenets which have made
the Masonic body a power for good
in the world. Altogether it was a de-
lightful evening and will go down in
the annals of old Perseverance as one
of its red letter nights.

SiXty-Two Enlist Here, Break
ing All Previous
Marks

Sixty-two men were enlisted at the

equalling the record of yesterday.
Quartermaster w. e. Quirk, in charge

ANOTHER BUSY SCHOOL

The community meeting mentioned
in the Register last week as having
been held in a school in Lake Hen
bricks township was not the only one
that has been held in the county.
Miss Blanche Matteson and her pupils
in Winsor school district No. IS, gave
house and Melted the sum of $67.30.
This sum will be used by the school
for the purchase of a sand table,
school clock, and some play ground
equipment, such as teeter board,
swings, etc. A fine program was rem
dered by the scholars in connection
with the social and the big crowd that
attended gave evidence of the fact
that these meetings that draw the peo-
pie of the community closer together
are doing fine things for the rural
neighborhoods.
Miss Matteson and the pupils are
to be congratulated for their efforts
along these lines and for making the
evenings entertainment thrive in
every way. The people of the cOmmu-
nifty are to be thanked for the spirit
of cooperation they showed in their
attendance and in making the occa-
sion a social as well as a financial
.,coacc Tho uco to which tho money
was applied is a decidedly worthy one,
as with this added equipment better
work can be produced and a happier
time given to the children in their
school hours. We certainly hope that
the Register can soon again give ac-
counts of other meetings of this ma
ture. and we will welcome any news
sent to us of such occurrences.

FINE TEACHERS MEETING

The educational rally held last SAT
the most successful meetings of its
kind ever held in the county. The at
tendance was quite large and very sat
~isfactory to Mr.. Blakely. Professor
\. II. Seymour, of the Aberdeen Nor
NAL, lead the discussion in the morn
ing and the many things brought u
in that round table talk were of prac-
teal value to those who were pres
ent.
In the afternoon Professor l.. G..
AthertOn. of the Madison Normal.
gave an address which dealt largely
with the boys viewpoint of the teach
er and of school life. 1t was IA revela-
ton to some of the teachers who have
to deal with boys in their daily work,
and if the ideas that he advanced are
put into use they will bring out more
Of the latent talent that is found in
every scholar. Professor Seymour
again addressed the teachers, this
time on What a Teacher Should
Know and his views were not sugar
coated for the benefit of anyone, or
made pleasing for the satisfaction OF
his audience. We only heard a small
part Of his talk, but are willing to
believe that if it sank deeply into the
minds of his hearers. the schools Of
the county will strike a higher aver
age next year.
Professor S. p. Miller. of State col
lege. gave a scientific talk that was
of value to those who have to do with
the teaching of such things to youth
full minds, and the terse way in which
he put his facts was very enjoyable
to the teachers.
Professor Christensen and his
splendid orchestra were present at
both sessions and entertained with
their fine music. In the afternoon +.
A. Brown gave a delightful reading
and Professor Hedge sang in his
usual good form. The meeting was
a real success and Mr.. Blakely is to
be warmly congratulated on his eff
forts in making it so.

BIG LOCAL DEAL IN PORK
All Chance of Being Rival To Chicago
Fails Completely

Last Saturday evening G.. ID. Cole,
secretary of the County Fair, learned
that John Roberts had purchased
some fine little pigs at an auction
that day, and believing that we should
all help out the need of fats by rails
ing pigs, he bought several from Mr..
fear that some one else might get in
ahead of him he paid cash doWn.
Sunday morning he started after mis-
pigs, taking along a nice box partly
filled with hay to bring them hou"
in. On his way he met Geo. w. Coh"l,
and on telling him that he was ai r
the pigs that Roberts had bought 1T
the auction on Saturday, he wa I'M
formed that the pigs Roberts BOUGHT
we're Guinea pigs.
We are informed that Mr.. Cole lid
not go after his pigs, though Mr. Roo
erts was very anxious all day sun
Ndy " litII " Dt ldh'h dN dg y
ter Mr.. Roberts found out that NJ.
Cole had purchased the pigs under 4
misapprehension of their breed he
very kindly returned a check for $50
that Mr.. Cole had given him in the
deal. We believe that he still re-
tains two dollars of Mr.. Coles money
on the ground that if any mistake
was made, it was made by Mr.. cole,
and no charge of misrepresentation
can be brought against him. John
Nolan, who had seen the pigs bought
at the auction and also had recon-
mended them to Mr.. Cole as being
lively young pigs, able to eat corn, is
very much chagrined over the failure
of this pork deal to go through. Mr..
Cole is still anxious to purchase some
young pigs to raise. but we under
stand that hereafter he will not make
any payments for young stock until
after a careful inspection.
The latest development in this deal
d%iscloses E. z. Poole. as owner of
entire litter, bought as a bargain be-
cause Of high cost of corn. Three
dollars now represents the full sum
of money that changed hands. No
one feels worse than the Register over
this failure of a big enterprise.

A OF TRADE

The state of trade all over the coun-
try reported by Bradstreets this week
shows trade good. Especial activity
in south, northwest and southwest,
where high-priced cotton or large &C.
real yields are a stimulus. Eastern
markets, rejecting stock market un-
settlement and Allied %reverses, report
conservatism. Industry, stimulated
by immense government purchasing.
is active beyond precedent. A marked
exception to this is building in regu-
lar lines, which Is at the lowest ebb
in ten years. Food prices definitely
lower, but commodities as a whole
higher. Fewer failures and larger
clearings.
