Imperial Valley press., 1922-01-27
X. P. NOTES
CONTRIBUTED

The first action taken by the X. of
P. lodge last Tuesday night was to the
effect that the press correspondent
should confine his articles to the
truth, and to tell it in a dignified man.
ner. 1t was not suggested that any
previous article had been otherwise,
but rather that they should continue
IN that manner, therefore the writer
hereby makes a pledge on his knight
ly honor that all future articles Qike
the past) shall be dignified truth per-
sonlfled, whatever that is. So boys be
careful of your step, as must report
just as it is, and can add neither salt
nor sugar, SO here goes.
| The public installation ceremony of
the 18th was a great success, espec-
tally the entertainment The Spanish
songs were Greek to many, but were
understood by lot of us smart fell
lows just as would be Chinese song.
For the benefit of those who didn't
savvy, Senior Stillman will translate
the songs to American, and sing them
in that language next Tuesday nighr
at $3.50. 1t is hardly to be hoped that
they were when Mrs. Barns sang them,
because it is well known fact that
Stillman is a better auctioneer than
singer, but he will have done his
STUFF by 9 o'clock and any one COM
ing in later than 9:15 will be fined.
20, he will howl some heavy note,
Some deadly dogged howl,
Sounding as from the threatening
throat,
Of beasts and fatal fowl"
The English prince did fine. His
work was appreciated by all present.
Past Chancellor, Fred G.. Bohm,
who was sent out from Denver by
Past Supreme Chancellor Davis to
install the new officers, likes Ell
Centro and the valley fine. Fact is,
he likes it here SO well that he has
made up his mind to stay with us the
remainder of the winter. He told the
writer that when he went back to
Denver and told them of the valley,
that he had no doubt that the capital
of Colorado would be in Imperial
Valley inside of year.
ReIerlng again to the meeting last |
tuesday night, must mention the
fact that one of our lodge dignitar-
les, jim DAVIS, gave a dlgnltIed lee
ture on "The Value Of Dignity" His
choice Of words was dignifying, his
roise was dignified, his mien was
dlenified, in fact every thing that he
said and done was in a dgnificantly
diGnificd manner. Fact is, Jim seems
to be strong on dignity. So any mem
Ger leaving his dignity at home next
Tuesday night, may just as we'll for
get the password, he will not be ad-
mittcd, for how can fellow be dig
nified unless he is standing on his
dignity? M. D. says, even then you
can't do it when you meet a bear.
Elmer Davis was elected to the
office Of Outer Guard, same being
vacated by one of our brothers, who |
IS leaving town. Elmer said in his |
speech of acceptance that he would
do his dad-gumdest to fill the posi-
tion with credit. And he certainly
will.

on will be social night. Come up with
your wife or girl. Progressive games,
dancing, eats and many other amuse-
ments will be on the program. Re-
