 It is very daubtful whether there has ever gathered here in this grand masonic temple a more representative body of earnest. devoted, intelligent, and patriotic colored men. It seems that new day of idealism is bursting upon their sight and that a newer Tera of freedom is daWning. There seems to be a glorious something that cheers them up an din silence drives them on togreater efforts and might fer duties.
 Many noted men are among the vls- itors of the grand lodge. Among them is Prof. O.. E. Trent of Fort Smith Chas. Steward of Chicago, s. A. Jor- dan of Little Rock.
 A few paragraphs from the grand masters address may be of interest to the general public: State of the rraft-
 "To ascertain the real state or con- dition of an institution to measure it's success or failure, should be mea- sured from several angles. We are not unmindful of the fact that our jurisdiction is feeling very keenly the ,effects of the war. Masonry stands today unreservedly for character building, liberal education, handcraft, and all that is ennobling for mans highest good and usefulness to his fellowman.
 Our numerical growth has been phe nomenal this year, more than 2,40 members having been added to our number, and still growing.
 We are very glad to report that this great increase in membership is not due to any throw down gap proposi- tion, but many of the best professional and business men are now numbered in the craft
 Almost every community in which there is not a Masonic lodge already is praying to have one established. Peace an dharmony prevail through out the jurisdiction.

BUY LIBERTY BONDS TO
VERY LIMIT OF RESOURCES
Everyone Should Give the Boys "Over
There" the Financial Support
Needed for Victory.

An article recently published in some
papers of the central West gave an err
roneous impression as to the part the
farmer should play in financing the
great struggle for liberty and world
freedom. 1t suggested that the farmer
should not borrow money with which
to buy Liberty bOnds-that he should
not Inconvenience HIMSELF in lending
financial support at this critical time
in the history of the nation.
This is nc time to think of incon-
veGience at home. If inconvenience is
to be the basis of thought, let the
American farmer consider first the in
convenience of the boys on the firing
line III France. At this particular time
it is up to all Americans to make sac
ritices. This is no time to think of COM
Portable financial circumstances and
freedom from Inconvenience. The
government is at a great deal of in
convenience If the boys at the blaz-
ing, thunderOuS trent are standing in
muddy trenches lodging shell splinters
and Hun bullets and facing the terrible
gas attacks, there is no reason why
the farmer at home should not extend
himself to help out.
Don't think of inconvenience. Think
Of the inconvenience and danger of
your son, or your neighbor's son, at the
front, and buy Liberty bonds to the
limit. Stretch your financial system
to the breaking point, if need be, to
support your government and the boys
who are actually engaged in the bust
ness of fighting your fight.
If you haven't the money at hand to
do your full duty toward the great
cause, go out and borrow it from your
bank-borrow so that you may buy
bonds until it hurts" Your financial
support may be measure of your
practical patriotisn-and the nation
needs practical patriots at this critical
period.
Don't think of inconvenience-think
only of success.
