supposed to preserve the old secrets OF
Masonry.
Free masonry has always been IA.
vorably considered in England. In 1888
when an act Of parliament was passed
directed against seditious societies. an
exception was made in favor of Ma.
sonic lodges which were credited with
meeting solely for benevolent purposes
Belief in a supreme being and immor.

ciple Of Freemasonry. Next to that is
the recognition of fraternal obligations
among the members of the order. The
duties of Mason are always to be
held subordinate to the duties of God.
to his country and to his fellow men.
The introduction Of Masonry into
America was under the deputation of
Daniel Coke, of New Jersey, from the
grand lodge Of England, dated June g.,
1880, which appointed him provincial
grand master for Pennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey. On July 80 1888.
warrant was granted to form 81.
Johns lodge, in Boston, Mass From
these beginnings, Free Masonry spread
throughout the colonies.
The teachings Of Free Masonry are
symbolical, ceremonial, and allegoricaI.
There are now ten Masonic rites or
systems in use throughout the world
The two rites that are ranked as uni
versal are the New York or English
rite and the ancient accepted Scottish
rite Of thirty-three degrees.
The Masonic order differs from othe~
secret and beneficial societies in the
matter Of its beneficiary features, for
there is no obligation expressed in the

TEXAS CATTLE STAY AT HOME

A decade back Texas cattle trade deserted Chicago and went to Kansas City and St. Louis. It is now hugging slaughter points still nearer home and hiking to Fort Worth and Oklahoma City. This is logical development. All things being equal, the shipper likes the short haul This is especial ly the case when prices are satisfact- ory. During periods of low values, the grower will go far ahead in the hope of doing better.
 May receipts of cattle at Fort Worth are 10000 more than last year. This does not imply increased beef production in that quarter, but merely that Teaxs growers are show ing a preference for the short haul.

LESS MEAT IF K. R. RATE
 GOES UP, SAYS WITNESS

Washington, May 2S.-Agricultural and livestock interests, protesting to the interstate commerce commission today against the railroads proposal for 15 per cent general increase in freight rates, declared that such re- vision not only would unjustly burden food producers, but would handicap seriously the whole food production campaign initiated by the government as war measure.
 Representative of the American National Livestock Association and of the national council of the Farmers Cooperative Association declared that stock raisers and farmers already are bearing unusually heavy expenses and could not make a supporting profit if a freight increase were added.
 Speaking for the livestock associa- ton, T. w. Tomlinson told the com mission that western cattle producers will have to get 25 per cent more than last year for their product, even under present conditions. Even then, he said, many cattle men doubtless would have to go out of business, and with an increased freight rate to market, the effect was sure to be felt in a decrease in meat production.

WOOL

Buying of medium and low south American wools has been the leading feature of the Boston market, both manufacturers and dealers showing considerable activity. Government needs are at the bottom of the de- mand, which is greater than the vol ume of unsold wool in the market. New territory wools are coming for ward very slowly, and little is being done, though further transfers of con tracts have been made to manufactur- CTS. Speculative interests, said to control a large volume of wool in the territory sections, are waiting for re- presentative lines to be received be- fore pressing sales. All early con tracts look very good, and those al- ready transferred have shown hand some profit. Ohio wool of the three eighths blood combing grade has sold at 65 cents during the week, the high est price ever known, figuring on gold basis. Extreme prices are re- ported to have been paid in Ohio and Michigan lately. Some scattering clips have been secured in Texas by eastern buyers at nearly double the opening prices of last year.
 Manufacturers have shown great in. terest in the wool market lately, and are credited with holding a tremend- ous volume of wool in reserve. This is partly due to the probability of a duty on wool, but partly also to the fact that values are steadily rising BrodstreetS.

 "You have two alternatives: Either you are mobihzed or you are not. If not, you have nothing to worry about. If you are, you have two alternatives: Either you are in camp or at the front. If you are in camp you have nothing to worry about.
 eff you are at the front, you have two alternatives: Either you are in reserve or you are on the fighting line. If you are in reserve, you have noth- ing to worry about.
 of you are on the fighting line, you have two alternatives: Either you scrap or you don't. If you don't, you have nothing to worry about.
 eff you do, you have two alternat- ives: Either you get slightly hurt or you get badly hurt. If slightly, you have nothing to worry about.
 "If badly, you have two alternat- ives: Either you recover or you don't. If you recover, you have nothing to worry about. If you don't, and have followed my advice clear through, you have done with worry forever"

Ralph Dixey, wealthy and noble In dian chief of the Blackfoot tribe, is one of the most recent purchasers of a Willys-Knight Eight, the luxurious and powerful car manufactured by the Willys- Overland company, of Toledo, Ohio. Incidentally, the chief is one of the first Willys-Knight Eight owners in Idaho. The Overland dealer who made the sale states that the chief tain is a great booster for the Willys- Knight line. His first automobile was an Overland Model 80, which he pur- chased several years ago. Last year he used a Willys-Knight Four.

WAR MEANS GOOD PRICES

This war is not going to be settled in a day, and continuance of military operations means broad demand for all classes of live stock.
 A government order for 3,45O,0O0 pairs of shoes has been issued and an- other will follow. Every woolen mill in the country is working overtime on government orders. An army is re- ported to travel on its belly, and the new American army will be one of magnificent proportions.

SAVE THE PREMATURE
 YEARLINGS

Noticed what a creditable stunt the little cattle have been doing at the market recently? They are good propery and will be all summer. Dur ing April and May thousands of i'm mature yearlings were jettisoned that have advanced $1.25@1.5O per ext meanwhile. While the advance in corn was pplausigle excuse, the fact re- mains that many of them were sac rifced.
 Those who get maximum results with yearlings, season after season, carry them along on grass. A good policy is to feed silage and cotton sead meal ration with grass all through the summer. This makes cheap gains possible, and in case of drouth, temporary shortage of grass is not a serious handicap.
 There is profit in growth on year ling. Marketing little cattle in stock cry condition at this season is waste and should be avoided.

BEEF STEER FED IN VALLEY
 a SELLS FOR NOTABLE SUM

Not often is it given to any concern or individual to effect the sale of a beef steer at a figure in excess of $150. But this was done by the Ar lington Improvement company, which sold handsome steer weighing 1,540 pounds, at the handsome price of $157.Os.
 One of the features of this sale is found in the fact that the big fellow was sent back to the very section of Arizona from whence he came. Messrs Rabbit and Cowden brothers were purchasers, and the steer has been shipped to Flagstaff. In November of last year, this same steer was shipped down from the Coconino hills to the verdant pasturage of the Salt River Valley. His coming did not at tract any particular attention among the stockmen He was then just an ordinary feeder"
 Roughage first, later hay and finally green grass constituted his diet after his arrival here, and from the first he became living example of what the feeding grounds of this valley will do. Now he has been sent back, in the prime of condition, to feed hungry citizens of the northland of Arizona. Phoenix Republican.

The livestock command ed the top market prices, ranging from S34 to S45 a head. The spring shipments will continue for the next two weeks, the total value reaching between $50O,00O and $60O,000. Cat tie went through the winter in fine shape and consequently are command ing fancy prices.
