MASONS TO FORM A
 BUILDING ASSOCIATION
Plans Now Under Way so Pur- chase Mercantile
 Building

Every Mason within this juris- diction will greet with pleasure the announcement that plans which have been made during the past several weeks for the formation of Mason ic Building Association, appear to be reaching maturity. The plans now made call for the purchase by { the association of the Mercantile building, and the building occupied by Frank Masiero, owned ny Mrs. Frances Peet, and with this end in view an option has been secured on the property.
 The finance committee of Housa- tonic Lodge, F. and A. M., consisting of Charles Adam, chairman, E. l.. Roberts and Lyman Howe, afe work ing on the proposition with much enthusiasm. Their efforts to date have met with such success as will gratify every member of the frater- nity and with Housatonic l edge eventually the beneficiary, Masons in this town are locking forward to the time when the plans mature.
 The need for a better meeting place of Housatonic Lodge and it's auxiliary, the Order of Eastern Star has long been apparent. To secure such at rental which would not be burdensome, it has been proposed to incorporate what will be known as the Masonic Building Association, which shall have the power of pur- chasing a suitable building and rent ing same ct the lodge. It must be { understood that while the associa- tion is composed entirely of Masons, Housatcnic Lodge can be no part of it.
 After the incorporation Of the association, the plan is to dispose of a part of the stock among members of the fraternity. During the past few days individuals have pledged themselves to take various amounts which total more than one-half of the necessary funds to be raised, and while yet uncertain, the finance com mittee can see no reason for the deal not being made.
 As business proposition the plan lDDGAtS L0 LiG AtiNSGtOAs @ E NOf1i sLiiS time the transfer is made oI the stock issued, it can be said to de- gree of certainty that fair rate of ! interest will be paid annually to all stockholders. In addition to this the local lodge will eventually own the property, the income from which should exempt it's members from dues and provide for extensive inn Z provements.
 , If the transaction is consumated, no changes will be made on the first floor of the building, which is rented to several business men. On the second floor there is ample room to provide an up-to-date lodge room, plans for which have been drawn by local contractors, and which will make it possible to sublet to other organizations should the lodge so desire.

We told you the other day Of pair
Of twin cows, which looked as much
alike as two drinks out Of the same
bottle, and which sold at the same
price, $125 per head, at q farm sale.
Many of you think. perhaps, that all
farm sales are as much alike as the
twin-sister COWS, except that there
are more horses, hogs. sheep and i'm
plements at some sales than others.
This. in the main. 1t true, but not In
essentials as relates to the family
holding the sale. You have also Inn
imagined that the most important sale
was the biggest" sale where the
display of offerings Is largest and the
income the greatest.
You have made the wrong guess.
This Is only occasionally true, so Tar
as the folks holding the sale are con-
cerned-for the buyer doesn't matter.
:. He has the price, can buy anywhere.
the markets of the country are open
to him. But to those who give or
hold the sale, 1t Is often far different.
1t all depends. The most impressive,
and also one of the most important
farm sales to the sellers ever coming
under the writer's notice, occurred In
southern Illinois early In the spring OF
1918. on 40-acre farm. And the total
of that sale was less than $1,000.
Soldier Boys Sale
The young farmer, boyish youth,
had been called to the colors. At his
side stood girlish wife, and in her
arms was the infant treasure OF the
twain, cooling little daughter Of four
months. The pathos and tragedy OF
that sale Is not to be lightly forgotten.
The wife and baby went to grandpa's.
the boy to camp, and in late Septem-
Der to France. His very first crop
was gathered by those who had not
planted it. Has he returned? We do
not know; not up to the middle OF
January, at any rate.

U.S.. DESCENDS ON
N. D. LIQUOR TRAFFIC

St. Paul, May 6.-Seven Iowa boot
leggers have been arraigned at Man.
kato, MIMI, 1900 quarts Of whisky
has been seized, and an immense liq-
uor traffic from Pipestone county,
Mimi, into the dry states of Iowa
and North and South Dakota has been
broken up by the activities of special
agents Of the department of justice, it
was announced here today on the re-
turn of T. E. Campbell, leader in the
raid.
Federal authorities are planning
IL or more arrests in Minneapolis to
stop camouflaged liquor traffic with
bootleggers in dry territory in north
ern Minnesota and in North Dakota,
according to semi-official reports late
today at the capitol.
The statements were made after
hearing before Governor Burnquist
on requisition for Howard E. Gesell,
on a charge of bootlegging in Cava-
lier county, North Dakota, which was
, continued until June 3, pending .ad-
ditional evidence and developments
in federal charges against the pris-
oner, Gesell is held in the Hennepin
county Jail.
Don c. Smith, Minneapolis attor-
ney appearing with Sheriff Fred "A.
Thompson with the request for &C.
sells extradition, asserted that the
accused is one Of band engaged at
Minneapolis and Thief River Falls in
supplying liquor to bootleggers in
concealed packages.
Members Of the band maintain
large quarters both in Minneapolis
and Thief River Falls, where liquor
is repacked in trunks, suitcases and
otherwise camouAaged for shipment
into dry zones. &4
Gesell, who lived in Minneapolis,
according to the attorney, is accused
of the North Dakota offense, and by
federal authorities with violation of
the Reed bone dry law prohibiting
shipment of liquor into dry territory
and also with conspiring to violate
that law. -
