friend of his requesting my
fiance TO let her have some
money. The one to my fiance

explained that he had seen her
but once. Ny chief object in
writing is to know whether ]

prices.
Let everybody that can attend this
meeting and see just how cheap you

SERVICE FLAG UNFURLED

The Degree Of Honor entertained
the A. o. L. w. at the lodge room on
Tuesday evening. Patriotic readings,
songs and music played a prominent
ment and the different numbers met
the approval of the large crowd and
drew round after round of applause.
The event of the evening was an ad-
dress by Philo Hall and those who
were lucky enough to be present say
that it a one Of the finest talks ever
given by a mar who is known as n
of the accomplished orators Of the
state. The service banner of the lodge
was unfurled and bears on its field Of
white nineteen stars to show the num-
Der of members who are fighting the
good fight. This will hang in the hall
of the lodge to continually remind the
members that they are personally iden-
tilted with what is going on over sea-
It will be an yer present incentive to
them to stand shoulder to shoulder
to back up our boys.
At the meeting a quilt pieced by the
ladies Of the order was offered for sale
at auction and after it had been sold a
few times the sum Of $31.00 was real
lied for the Red Cross. This quilt will
be placed on sale again at the auction

all the discomfOrts Of starting FROM
the bottom, his college education and
the training he received as a law stu
dent before his admission to the bar
as an attorney, will stand him we'll in
hand and enable him to handle the
new education that he has tc master.
Men of this kind are the ones who are
needed in the artillery, where know
ledge Of mathematics and the mind
training that goes with a college
course, enables them to understand the
gun work better than those without
such a foundation. We know that Ben
will give a good account Of himself
and we shall watch for the stripes on

was associated with Professor Shep-
ard in the chemistry department, gave

COOPERATIVE MEETING

Last Friday, commencing in the
morning at ten O'Clock, the Farmers
Cooperative company of Bookings
held a public meeting to which Ill
stockholders and others interested
were invited. In the afternoon there
was a program of entertainment and
that was followed by two addresses
along the lines of farmers cooperation.
One was by Geo. w. Dixon, the state
expert on potatoes. who told all about
how to raise that vegetable and get
results. Charles T.. Eckerle, who is a
general organizer OF cooperative
movements in twelve states, was the
principal speaker and gave a lot Of
new information along h lines of
what these companies are doing for
various communities. 1t was carefully
listened to by the large crowd in at
tendance and if more people were
fully conYorsant with the facts in the
case, more of these companies would
be in existence. The program men
toned above was all furnished by local
talent, and was Of a high order of *
cellence. If more such meetings were
held it would bring about a better un
d~erstanding between the producers
and the consumers.
