LOCAL. EL.KS' LODGE 90 YEARS 0LD
 IN JULY OF 1920
Pine Bluff Organization One of Veterans of the
 Country

Pine Bluff Lodge of Elks No 149, will celebrate it's thlrtieta birthday anniversary next July The lodge was chartered July 10 1890, and is one of the oldest fra ternal organizations in Pine BluH'
 Only four of the men who sign ed the first charter are now alive They are Capt. s. F. Hilzhelm Charles H. Owens, Henry Cook oi Cincinnati and John M. Gracle' Capt. Hilzheim organized the lodge and was largely instrumental in holding it together during its ln- fancy.
 Hilzheim and Owens were menl- bers of No. 29, Little Rock, which a few years before had been or ganized by Thomas Keene, the ac- tor. then travelling exalted ruler: and Gus Williams, the comedian, who were playing at Little Rock theatres when the organization was effected. A few years later the Grand lodge was organized and it sent Simon Quinlan of Chicago: here at the request of Hllzhelm, Owens and others to organize this lodge. Pine Bluff was chartered as No. 149 and has since held that number though the charter was withdrawn and the lodge reorgan- ized in 1897.
 The first exalted ruler of the Pine Bluff lodge was G. N. Hart, we'll known in the early days as a druggist. Later Horace G. Ais, a banker, was exalted ruler. Then succeeded Capt. Hilzheim, w, D. Jones, D. G. Bell and others.
 The signers of the original char ter were Capt. Hilzheim. Ny. Owen, Arthur Murray, D. G.. Bel. Henry Cook. J. B. Trulock, J. N. Scull c. w. Dowell, John $. Bailey and John M. Oracle. There wer' at the time probably 15 othe members whose names did not ap pear on the charter. This charter together with all other records was burned in 1915 when the Elk; theatre burned.
 The lodge held It's first meet ing over building which occupie' the site at present occupied D! Barnett's. Later it met over th' Peoples bank building. over Blu thentha],s, in the building now oc cupied by the City Hall. It re moved from this last building t it's first home-the Elk's Hom and theatre on West Second ave nue in 1902. This building burne in 1914 and the lodge headoaar ters were moved to Hotel Pine and thence to the present lodg rooms at Second and Chestnut.
 The Pine Bluff Lodges age is in dicated by it's number-14' There are now more than 18o' lodges in the United States anC scores of other cities with eac' having more than 100000 peon!' whose lodges are newer than tn Pine Bluff lodge.

WHAT MAKES ORANGE RUSTY
Spider-Like Insect crawIs Over Fruit
ard Punctures Outer
Skin.

The juiciest and sweetest oranges
are the rusty ones.
An exceedingly tiny spider-like in:
sect Is responsible. While the fruit
is ripening ON the tree it crawls over
the orange and punctures the outer
skin with ever so many minute holes.
For this purpose 1t is provided with
an awl-like instrument incomparably
sharper than the finest cambria nee.
die. 1t punches the holes to get al
the oil contained in little glands just
beneath the surface. Upon this oil II
feeds, apparently.
If you rub lump of sugar hard
and persistently upon the skin of an
orange 1t will soon become saturated
with this OIL (from the ruptured
glands), which has very strong fla.
vor. It is the so-called essential OIL
Of orange.
The oil, leaking out of the glands
punctured by the trust mite" forms a
coating which, as 1t dries, Is turned
to rusty color by contact with the
air. 1t is in effect varnish, which,
being impervious to moisture, pre-.
vents the juice from evaporating.

they were not. But when the young
officer proposed that they meet on

Muriel walked rather slowly and

she liked the handsome young officer.

1t had been great fun to keep him

But the head counselor had decided,
by the time she drew close to the place
designated-.for the meeting. that she
would do that very thing.
Aikens was sitting on a rock when
Muriel came into sight. He arose and
greeted her. "Miss Brown, 1 was

them and led them into an opportune
woods road. Now the head counselor
did not look day older than some Of
her campers. However, she was twen-
ty-five. Miss Holden, though only a
year older, looked every bit Of 1t.
Therefore 1t was not surprising that

Great was the rejoicing among the
girls when they returned and heard
the news. Immediately "what to

conversation. Lily Dart, against the
