IMASONS PAY HONOR
TO WASHINGTON
Fitting Exercises Held at Their
Hall on Tuesday Evening,
February 22nd

Upwards of hundred Nashon'
Maury MasonS and their ladies
met at the Masonic hall, Portage,
on Tuesday evening and held a
program in honor Of George
Washington's birthday. Wash,
ington was not only our first
president, but was also an ac-
tive and honorcd member Of the
Masonic fraternity.
Master y. j. Dickson ably, and
with much credit to himself, pre-
sided at the meeting and made
some very interesting references
regarding the Masonic life of
Washington. The program open
ed with "A flag salute. Then every
body stood and sang "The Star
Spangled Banner" after which
Miss Vera Gray rendered a piano
solo which was well received. Mrs.
Dickson brought down the house
with recitation, Making an
Editor" and Mrs. M. Il. lions
land followed with a sweet vocal
solo which was sung in her most
gracious and charming manner.
Mr.. Dickson read an official com
munication concerning the Mason
lie history of the man "Who was
first in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts Of his country
men" Mr.. Smock delivered the
address Of the evening, mention
ing the three things which made
Washington great-EIc beloved in
America, he believed in humanity
and he believed in God. The
speaker said these three things
are needed to-day to make any
man 1000 American citizen.
Martin Tjomsand then surprised
everybody by displaying the
latent musical talent he had
stored away, and his solo was
followed by rousing applause.
Mrs. Mcmillan followed with a
PIANO solo which seemed more like
The singing Of some sweet throat
ed bird, than the manipulation of
The worries by a winning little
lady. The literary part Of the eve.
ning's performance closed by ali
standing and singing "America.'
Soon the chairs were pushed
back, the tables spread, the plates
laid, the food brought on, and
76 adults-in honor of Washing
ton and the events of 1776-sat
down to the most sumptuous and
delicious of refreshments. Nap
kins with cherries for color, were
used, and the toast given was to
the effect that we forget the
Ratchet which cut down the cherry
tree, and bury it-that the com
ing year may be one of health,
peace, and prosperity To every
| NaSh0n-Mallry islander. The re-
freshment committee was compos-
ed of Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Dickson.
and Mrs. Sherman-with Louie
Mcmillan as first "aid. To these
four in particular much credit is
due for the success of the evening.

CUMMINGS THROUGH.

Of considerable local interest is the Cummings, former chairman of the dem mocratic national committee, might sition should the present incumb bent. George White, resign. That was the fl st rumor, and his friends in New Britain, many of whom have packed halls to hear him speak, were sorry that he might wear out his energies i'll such a position.
 There is certainly nothing in the White House to frighten him, accord ing to the Republicans, into the fear that his labors at the next presiden- tial election would result in defeat His name would be published often and he would be working for the cause he espouses.
 But Investigating the rumor news Mir. Cummings that he is absolutely opposed to taking up the duties again

MARSHAL FOCH.

That great leader of leaders, that probably did not realize the affection in which he is held in this country until he steamed down the bay yes- terday and heard and saw.
 No one who did not see the dem onstration accorded him, or who did not hear. the sirens, the bells the whistles may realize what an ovation was accorded this man, this Generalis- simo under whose leadership the great war was won.
 There was a tremendous gathering to greet Lafayette when he came to this country. His services were per- formed here. | The mention of his name brings perhaps as great feel ing of gratitude to the educated as does that of Marshal Foch. His well come in New York was probably as great, comparing the size of the city as it was at that time, to that ac- scorded Marshal Foch by the city of today.
 Many of our countrymen have had and deserved great receptions.
 But yesterday New York broke loose Nothing was left undone that might have been done to honor Marshal Foch.
 There seemed to be no doubt but that Marshal Foch was recognized as the man, more than any one other who won the war.

HUNTING, AND WORK.

There are squirrels, phasants, rab- bits, coons in this neighborhood that may be killed and eaten, and other small animals perhaps.
