The Shrine is said to be the
play part of Masonry. They sure
are good fellows and there is {
good time where they are about
They also get down to serious
things and their charity is as big
as their hearts. The Shrine has
raised over two million dollars tt
establish nine great free hos.
pitfalls for crippled children. Six
of these hospitals are already
located and will be built at
Shreveport, La, San Francisco,
Portland, Ore, Minneapolis and
st. Louis. Virginia, New Eng
land and Canada are each to have
one. These hospitals are to take
care of all destitute children, to
the extent of their capacity, free
of charge. If this be play, let
us have more of it.
1t is the notion up north to
think that the negro never gets
his just deserts, but this, of
course, is not true. Down in
Miami recently, the white people
turned out to the funeral Of q
colored soldier and the American
Legion paid the hero dead full
honors. 1t is well to remember
two things about this situation
of the two races. Each section
know best how to handle its
problem and there is difference
in negroes as there is in the
white race.
Alaska gold looks like riches
to us but other climes have their
gold mines by some other name
and we pass them right by. The
Yakima Valley of Washington
produced fruit to the value of
fifty millions this year. The
best year of the Alaska gold
fields was twenty-five millions. |
But there is a romance and a !
danger to the quest for gold, |
that throws a spell over the
world.
This is the season of the year,
when the papers will be carry
ing headlines of hunting acct
dents. Every season has its
hazards and we no more than
get to feeling easy over boating
and swimming accidents when
along comes the shooting acct
dents. It's a hard world, all
right, and few of us get out of
it alive.
1t seems as if we ought to have
another comic opera with the
revolution in Honduras as the
scene. A revolution has been
successfully squelched by captur-
ing FIVE generals, seventeen
,olonels, thirty-six captains and
forty-fve ieutenants. There
weren't any privates as they
would have been captured.
1t is good news to see that the
Crystal Confectionery Company
If Burlington has been obliged
% put on a night force a month !
earlier than usual because of the !
Increase in their business. We
would be glad to see business all
,ver the country show the same s
rain.
The State Fair has come and I
rome and there has been a great
of the clans at our An {
lual. The exhibits were excel I

andidate or two and his friends
o make you feel welcome. It's :
great old fair with everybody t
here. t
Corn has reached its lowest G
igure in fifteen years at AZ !

Europe. Europe is !

Farming pays some times as a Q
