One of the Santa Fe mothers will always
treasure April so one of the red letter
days of her life. She went to Kansas City
early Wednesday morning. surprised her
engineer son who wasn't looking for her
to be there, marched with him up and
down the streets of Kansas City, No., and
Kansas City, Kan, and came home on the
plug and marched some more in Topeka.
Most flattering things have been said of
the beautiful decorations in both Kansas
Citys and of the demonstrativeness of the
people. One of the engineers who had
gathered to his heart some two or three
willing maidens was heard to exclaim

sHoRTHoRN MEN MEET.

A meeting of the Elbert County
Shorthorn Breeders Association WAS
held in Elbert last Friday night A
large attendance and the spirit of
the meeting was one of cooperation
and mutual benefit. Mr.. w. II. Paul
secretary of the association ten
dered his resignation on account of
leaving the country to engage in
other business. Mr.. Paul has taken
an active part in the association
by the breeders of the Divide coun-
try. j. Paul Jones of Ebert was
elected to fill the vacancy.
After a discussion regarding the
Shorthorn Calf Club the Association
decided to extend honorary member
ship to each member of the club In
addition the hearty cooperation of
of each member of the association
was assured to the boys and girls
undertaking the new business.
1t is planned that the breeders of
the Divide Country exhibit their
Shorthorns collectively this year ut
the National Western Stock show
in Denver. Arrangements will be
made whereby all the Elbert Coun-
ty Shorthorns will be together and
the association well advertised. Mr.
Fred p. Johnson of the Western
Show will be invited to attend the
next meeting. of the Association Ia
be held November 29th in Elbert.
In order that the leading facil-
tiles at the Elbert stock yards may
be improved committee was ap-
pointed to tack the matter up with
the railroad and Mr.. Reed the Ag-
ricultural Agent of the Colorado &
Southern viii be asked to meet the
breeders at their next meeting.
Plans for Shipping the show cattle
and helping the newer men to show
their stock was discussed at the
meeting An advertising campaign
Will be put on for the benefit of
each breeder Just previous to the
Western Show. The Association is
working along constructive lines
andmutual benefit seems to be the
keynote of the men interested in
welfare and development of the
Shorthorn cattle in the Divide coun-
try The association is sure to live
and continue to build up the short
horn industry with the interest that
manifested at the last meeting. All
men that are interested in Short

THE LINKS THAT BIND SOCIETY

THE LINKS THAT BIND SOCIETY
II is a reminder the annual session
this week in Denver of the
grand lodge OF Colorado, Independ-
ent Order of Odd Fellows, what a
pervasive influence an organization
like this has upon society. Break
down this and kindred organization
and how long would our modern in
tricate civilization survive the or
deal? We could spare some of our
political institutions ever so much
more readily and with less loss to
the body polite.
The American organization of the
|. o. o. F. is a century old. The
original is couple of centuries old,
perhaps more. The Odd Fellows
were an evolution from the ancient
and honorable guilds. In time they
became distinct from the guilds as
changing economics conditions COM
ing upon England The American
order had its ups and downs. which
were in the end good for IT. Long
ago, however, 1t settled to its work
of service The outer public does
not appreciate what it is doing, what
it has done in century. toward up
raising mans standards. 1t has
made the home more sacred; 1t has
kept the family institution. The
Rebekahs are Il recognition of wo-
mans rights in the best sense.
In the last two years the good
work of the lodges has been increase
on account of war and wars after
math. The influence of the order
was mighty during the war period
1t was felt in every town and city.
The objects of the order are frater-
nifty and benevolence and it lives up
to the spirit of both. Odd Fellows
and Rebekahs are upheld by the
graces of friendship. love and truth.
Everyday they are teaching without
blare of trumpet a true Americanism.
With more of suchorganizations, and
with this organization increased in
membership. the problem of Ameri-
canization before the nation and It's
would not be so difficult
of solution.
