The hot weather has now passed and the fall and winter activities of all lodges are In full swing. if you do not find the doings of your lodge in this column Tt is your fault. See that some one is appointed to write information of interest to your members and the happenings of your meetings to the editor of this column. Copy must be in th.s office by p. m. Thursday. Use typewriter, if possible, and write on only one side of paper. Do not make reports too long. Between POO and 900 words will be about right and thus af- low room for all lodges in this vicinity e get their activities before their members.

Years may come and years may go, but an in- creasing number of wise motorists seek car like the Mitchell. Mitchell has been building good automobiles for l9 years - and Mitchell owners are loyal
 The Mitchell always wins more friends when competition is keenest. For then it shows best its comparative worth. For the Mitchell we make no extravagant claims "a really good car never needs over-statements Dependability is inbred in car-words cannot increase it. Design and construction bring sturdiness and Iong-life. Time alone tells the story.
 The Mitchell is built by one of Americas oldest concerns It was founded in 1894. Into the Nit chell is brought all these years of experience and sound business policy. The Mitchell deserves your consideration. It affords you standard by which to compare It gives values you cannot duplicate.

Trees are the shelter of man

and song. They call children out
to play; they entice sweethearts
to leafy coverts to seal their VOWS

and gratefully reward old age.
They are the Attest ornaments of

Joy them without having title to

Trees are nature prime sources
of food their fruits and nuts gave
sustenance to the first tribes of
