to it now in a way that means
business. The first degree con.

day night in a manner creditable
to aveteran lodge and the charter
membership present was hughly
pleased with their chosen officers
and in general with the things
they have accomplished in the
short time since they decided to
create this.lodge.
They have candidates already
elected to keep them working at
every opportunity for the rest of
the year and the membership
will be more than doubled from
among the best men in the COM
munity as fast as they can be
admitted. 1t has been made a
rule not, underany circumstances
to slight the work or overlook
any details which will tend to
carelessmess or levity. 1t is a
serious and important business
and all the members are united
in keeping the standard of the
work as well as the membership
to high level.
The new hall is completed in
side and is very attractive
fraternal meeting place.
When the outside is finished it
will also be very attractive.
Such a lodge is a valuable addi-
ion to any town and does credit
o the spirit of enterprise and
fraternity in Roy.

100 Tons, Beans

The editor and wife were
treated to a ride out to the Fred
Fluhmann home, II miles north
east of Roy and a splendid farm
dinner such as their garden and
poultry yard affords. Fred took
US out and brought us home
again in his car and showed us
some of the things Of interest the
Company composed of Mr.. and
Mrs. FIuhmann and. their sons
and daughters have to show for
their summers work.
The biggest thing they have is
600 acres of beans just getting
ready to pull, 400 acres of which
will easily yield 50Olbs to the
acre, and the rest are not bad at
all. This crop alone is good for
SIS, 600. to $40, 600, in cold cash
this fall. They were planted from
selected, hand-picked seed and
are as near perfection as beans
can be grown.
This is not all Of his crop by
any means, there are great fields
Of corn with ears as long as your
arm, Sudan grass higher than
your head and a big field of
sorghum headed out with the
making Of tons of seed.
Then the orchard and garden
with as fine trees already bearing
as we ever saw and all kinds of
garden stuff that we know about
and some we didn't know, squash
es as big as washtubs huge baets
and rutabagas and carrots and
and cucumbers in a
profusion we have not seen in a
long time.
The girls took justifable pride
in showing us the pictures Of the
old home of their parents in
switzerland, the military honors
their father received as the crack
rideman in his regiment in the
Swiss army, and many beautiful
scenes in the famous Alps but
hey are we'll pleased that they
ire here with their huge farmi
md all safe under the protection
If Uncle Sam instead of under
he menace of the Kaiser and his
lordes.
On the trip out we saw beans
hat will market for more than
alf a million dollars and other
rops of almost equal value and
ralrie grass worth millions for
ay and feed. 1t is unbelievable
hat on the land where six weeks
go the drygrass would crunch
nd crumble under your feet
ow the gramma is a foot high
overed with seed pods till it is
rich brown color and the mesa
as never as beautiful, even
hen wheat harvest was it's
est, than it is now.
If we had some hundreds of
lrmers like Mr.. Fluhmann and
is interesting family this would
ill be a greater country than it

UNPOPULAR HISTORY.

Fort Smith, (Ark,) So lthwcst
American: A lot of actual facts
pertaining to former wars in this
country have been compiled from
government records and printed
under the heading, Unpopular His
ory OF the United States The
title was given because it is always
unpopular to have the truth told,
if the truth is at variance with what
has been our general belief--and the
facts set down in the "UuDopular
History" are certainly contrary to
what many leople believe concern
ing other wars.
For instance, in reading the COM
mon school Histories one would nat
urally conclude that the people were
so patriotic during the Revolution
airy war that it wasn't any trouble
to recruit soldiers. But such was
not the fact. The people of this
country were by no means united to
overthrow the reign of the British
king. Recruits were so slow in COM
ing to the front that rewards had
to be offered in the way of bounties,
Two hundred dollars bounty failed
to induce enough men to enlist, and
the amount was increased to seven
hundred and fifty dollars.
But here i, a fact that will show
the true state of affairs -Four hun
dred thousand men were +, ,cruited
during the war, but three hundred
thousand of them simply got tired OF
war and wen, homc-p!ain, ordinary
deSerters.
Then, the unpopular History
gives us little consolation N con-
nection with the War of 1912. In
that struggle our troops outnum-
bercd those Of Great Pritain thirty
two to one bot we made little head

Boston transcript: Renewed

That gentle Niryana of politics, in
which a country may live neither
at peace nor at war, Mr.. lrotzky
has been given a reason to discover

subconscious realm OF his dreams.
OF a surety it is state unknown to
the war-lords OF Prussia. They still
recognize but Two condt onS Of
human existence-either pro-Ger-
man peace or Gcrman-maie war.
Failing to wiring extreme terms from
the BolsheviEi by negotiation, the
Kaiser will shortly do all in his
power to get them by force. TO
what extent Trotzky and his sup
porters will develop the moral
stamina and the military strength to
resist the invader. does not yet ap-
pear. The only present source OF
comfort is the evidence the Situa-
ton gives that not all is moving
smoothly in the east for tLl brigands
Of Berlin and that they are finding
it still too soon to count on an en-
tire reduction OF their armies along
the northern fronties.
Meanwhile German and austrian
