The Joint installation of the newly

Bearer and Mrs. T. M. Williams Of
Rolling Green acted at Regalia Bear

Lady Assistant, who conducted the
newly elected officers to the altar to
take their obligation. Mrs. Berkett
of Des Laos did we'll in the music all
the way through. After the Installa-
tion was concluded T. NJ. Williams
gave talk, "The Necessity of the
Grange and What We Ought to Do for
the Grange in North Dakota" He ex-
pressed his thots as to what Changers
ought to do and we must admit that
he is correct. He told us how we could
make money for our dealers and how
it would cost us less if we cooperated
and stuck together in the Grange. J.
w. McCahan then was called upon to
make a few remarks of what the
Grange has done in the East. Then,
the newly elected and installed Mas
ters were called upon to give an out
line of work proposed for the year
1920 which was done by Mrs. Fred
Englond of Wild Rose and Mrs. Bessie
Gibson of Rolling Green. The after

ABOUT SHORT STORIES
Trom the Montgomery advertiser.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
Alfred Noyes, brilliant English poet,
sometimes publishes a short story. He
recently printed delightful tale in a
popular American periodical. One must
like-it immensely for sufficient reasons;
yet there is one fault we find with it
but of that more later. We like the
Noyes story because it is a tale, not an
editorial or sermon. We like it be-
cause he went off into corner of Eng
land where nobody lives and where
practically nobody ever goes. and there
planted scholarly recluse in the cave
who lived there alone for % years
awaiting the return of his sweetheart,
1t seems that they had become engaged
at the mouth of the cave and one day
she mysteriously disappeared. He never
believed she had been murdered, as
others did. One stormy night a worn,
wet. haggard, gin-soaked old woman
came back to the cave, and he was re-
united with the sweetheart of his youth.
OF course, the point of the story is
deducible-the girl at the last moment
had run away apparently to live her
own life," and returned, after % years,
to the scene of her first love. The story
ended in the approved popular style.
The average short story writer of the
day wants you to know that he is too
much OF an artist to be clear explicit,
or satisfying at the end. The Noyes
story-singled out here for comment
because it is an excellent specimen of
the prevailing type-would have been
strengthened. we submit, if the author,
forgetting that he is an artist" had
devoted paragraph or two to an ac-
count of womans career for the %
years that she was absent, and an ex-
PLANTATION Of her inexplicable disap-
pearance. She was interesting enough
to have received a paragraph after a
return from a journey that had lasted
for quarter of a century
But the story delights because it is
only story. 1t has no mission" 1t
doesn't drive home any great burning
truth 1t is not an editorial disguised
as tale.

If Birmingham wants to keep Howard

Chaplain Smith of the Rainbow divi-

anecdote when he returned from over

in his sojourn over there in England.
But to hear him tell it. listen:
The Church of England is a long
established institution, wherein the
grading of authority is not dissimilaf
from the military service, as far as
authority goes, and the little new
curate has as wholesome a respect and
awe of the vicar as any shavetail has
for his colonel.
1T happened that a certain parish
had just been awarded new curate,
a delicate little fellow who could not
serve with the colors. He was invited
to breakfast with the vicar. Upon
opening his egg at the table he found
it to have been of very ancient origin.
The sight was not pleasing, but so
afraid was the little curate of Offend
ing the great vicar that he tried to
eat it. Meanwhile the fumes of the
spoiled egg had started spreading and
reached the vicar.
Tn afraid, curate, your egg is
not good the great man said
oh, no, sir replied the embar-
raised curate. quite the contrary:
parts of it are excellent"
