The Road to Already.

Oh the road to Already
Which the true heart finds!
In and out and round about
Through the world it winds.
Through the meadow where the breeze
Makes its harp among the sedges.
Through the dropping willow trees
Dripping at the waters edges
Runs the road to Already.
On the road to Already
Lover follows lover.
Hand in hand across the land,
All the wide world over.
Still they pass and still they say
Each to each in accents tender),
Surely none so well as they
Know the sweetness and the splend0r
Of the road to Already.
Every merry maid and man
Plucking blade and blossom
Leaves gypsy patteran
On the earth's brown bosom.
So that he who runs may read
There are those who passed this
way"
Still they pass and pay no heed.
Still, eve are the first, !" they say,
''On the road to Already"

Vocational Evening School to Start

Vocational Evening ScnOOl 10 start
Soon.
The vocational school was brought
into existence last year and operated
for a period of about six months.
During that period two hundred and
fifty students were enrolled and more
than one hundred and forty were in
regular attendance.
Many of the citizens of this COM
munity have been asking about the
opening of the evening school for
this year. The board members, at an
informal meeting held a few days
ago, thought that the school should
start its fall work about the nine
teenth Of October.
The registration for tie vocation
al work will be held on Tuesday the
twelfth of October so that classes
may be organized and everything
put in readiness for the opening
night. This registration is for all who
are to be enrolled whether they are
part of the special classes and short
courses for ex-service men and wo-
men under the Educational bonus
law or not. The meeting will be held
in the assembly room of the high
school building at seven thirty and
all who intend to take advantage Of
this school opportunity are urged to
be present on registration night.

Masons Visit Chicago.

The annual visit of the local Masons
to Parkway Lodge, Chicago, occurred
last Thursday, at which time about
forty-five of the local men took the
early morning train for that city. The
st. Paul railroad had kindly provided q
special car which added greatly to the
pleasure, comfort and sociability of the
trip down. The Parkway boys met the
local men at the depot with autos and
after a trip through the interesting
and busy parts of Chicago they made
the first stop at the Municipal Pier,
which is one of the wonders of Chicago
and will some day handle many thou
sands of people daily. It's record up to
date, our guide told us, was $50,
people in one day.
The next stop was at the Lincoln
Park zoo, after which the boys went to
their rooms at the Morrison and to an
especially fine lunch at the Terrace
Gardens. The afternoon was spent at
the Majestic and another little run
around the city and then up to the
Temple on North Dearborn st. Here
sumptuous dinner was in waiting
which was followed by music by Ri
naldo, who was formerly on the grand
opera circuit. Mr.. Huber of the Park
way Lodge acted as POSTMASTER and
was very happy in his remarks. The
Parkway boys were especially clever
in their responses.
Mr.. North for Fulton Lodge seemed
to strike responsive chord by touch
ing on the more serious part and deep
er meaning of Masonry. After the
supper Parkway Lodge conducted the
ceremonial in its usual inimitable way
which is always the admiration of the
Fulton Lodge.
During an interim in the ceremonial
the local boys were called into action.
Mr.. H. H. Dickinson, one of the five
octogenarians who went down with the
Edgerton men, gave splendid little
address. Frank Pearson was called
upon to respond to the presentation of
a beautiful hand illuminated token of
appreciation, and DR.. Smith to accept
for the Eastern Star a cake that is GER
tainly a wonder of the bakers art.
But the most touching part of the
whole proceeding was the unexpected
presentation to DR.. McChesney of
hand illuminated certificate of Honorary
Membership in Parkway Lodge. Mas
ter Huber called upon Harry to make
the presentation to his father. His
presentation and the DR.. 'sresponse were
easily the most striking feature of the
entire visit, unless it is the general
good feeling and brotherly love which
prevails at all times in the utilization of
these two lodges.

erage leaf is not as large as might be
desired, though some fields produced a
splendid stand. The crop as whole is
sound and was shielded without blem-

Woods Are Slow, and
Buyers Are Cautious

Wool buyers in the Rocky Mountain
states are not bidding as much for
wool as growers think they should,
and some are refusing to sell. The
heavy SHOWS in April prevented early
shearing in large districts, but con-
siderable wool is now on offer and
the prices bid on fine and medium
wool in Nevada and Utah have ranged
at from 80 to 60 cents.
In the fleece wool sections some of
the early shorn fat sheep woods have
brought slightly better prices and, in
some instances, have been held so
high that dealers and manufacturers
agents refuse to buy.
The best houses now consider wool
a gamble and are going slow. Judg-
ing from the prices charged for all
wool, well-made clothing, the state
ment of wooden mill man that the
price of wool was scarcely counted in
the cost Of mems clothing is about
correct.
This must also certainly apply to
fabrics for women's wear, where a
few ounces of fabric costs a few
ounces in dollars.

Gardeners. Test Your Soil!

Many of our back yard gardeners
may find that little ground limestone
would be Of advantage, by very
simple test. The limestone should be
scattered over the ground and worked
in with hoe and rake, to depth of 3 or
inches, when you are preparing the
seed bed, If the soil is at all acid.
The test is made with blue litmus
paper, which costs but trifle at
drug stores. Lay the paper on the
damp soil, cover it lightly and if with
in so minutes it turns pink in color,
your garden needs limestone.
Gardeners make this test every year.

top dressing of lime is required for
best results, large farmers use car

been absorbed, regardless Of acid
