scum at Flint will be opened to the pub

show Michigan has ever had as Flint is

gan atmosphere to the land of apple

There will be $50, 900 dollar exhibit

Where Coal is $50 Per

A little leaflet issued by the Pere
Marquette r. R., recently, recites the
fact that in war scourged Italy coal is
retailing at $4,000 per ton. AS poverty
reaches its height in that country it
may be seen that much actual suffering
must exist as a result of the absolutely
prohibitive price of fuel. The Pere
Marquette attributes the coal shortage
in this country to unprecedented ex-
port shipments and to a greatly in
creased demand for rolling stock for
the transportation of factory products.
The latter requirement, it is stated, is
probably the largest in the history of
the country.

.MASON'S CELEBRATE
SEM|.CENTENN|AL
REV. DR.. WILL GAVE SPLENDID
ADDRESS
High School Chorus, Birch Run Quar-
tette and Miss Clifford Add to
Pleasure of Program

A large number of citizens gathered
at the auditorium, Wednesday evening,
in acceptance of the invitation of VII
emma, Lodge, No. 205, F. & A. M, to
participate in the observation of it's
semi centennial, and it is not saying too
much to state that all who attended
were rewarded through the presenta-
tion of an unusually interesting pro-
gram.
AS senior warden of the lodge, and
upon request of Worshipful Master Ola
Thompson, c. II. Reed acted as chair
man of the evening and welcomed the
assemblage on behalf of the lodge. Le-
parting from the order of the program,
it may be said that several splendid
musical selections We're rendered by the
High School chorus, under direction of
Miss Paulger, and by the Birch Run
Quartette, consisting of Messrs Harris.
Hadsall, Hunt and Winslow. Miss Gift
ford gave reading in the most superb
manner. Each of these features won
the enthusiastic approval of the audi
ence and those who gave them were
compelled to respond to encores.
Rev. DR.. j. w. Will, of Hillsdale,
was introduced as an esteemed and dis
tingushed brother of the Order and as
friend and former fellow citizen of the
community. 1t is impossible for us to
give a comprehensive resume of DR..
Wil's address, but it was a splendid
effort throughout and held the closest
attention Of the audience. DR.. Will
said that the desire was inherent in
mankind to seek fraternity and to find
in association the means of promotion
of mutual interests. He said that if
every existing secret order were swept
out of existence today, tomorrow would
find million men associated in the
bonds OF new fraternal relationships
and that those who criticised the fra
terniti6s Usually had little or no knowl-
edge of their teachings or accomplish
ments. Speaking of the universally
and antiquity of Masonry the speaker
told of a famous African explorer
who had taken thrty-three degrees in
the Order and who found among the un-
lettered native princes Of the dark con-
tnent men who knew as much of Mas
onry as he did. The doctor said that
the Christian church in its early history
was essentially secret fraternity
being compelled thereto by the persecu-
tions of its powerful enemies. He said,
however, that the value of Masonic
principles, like the value of Christian
principles, lay in their practical appli-
cation to the affairs of life and that if
they were not so applied they were alb
solutely worthless. In closing, the
speaker complimented Vienna Lodge on
its long and useful career and paid elo-
quent tribute to the value of labor and
education as the principal means of
human progress. At the close of his
address DR.. Will was warmly greeted
by many of his former Pensioners and
fellow townsmen.
