Knights of Pythias

\''The best meeting in weeks"
was the verdict of all who at
tended the meeting last Monday
night. AS the Keeper of Record
and Seals registered in his
minutes "the second put on in an
impressive, inspiring and almost
serious manner. If you have
forgotten just what the word
serious means ip the second rank
it is your duty to attend and
find out. All officers were pres
ent doing their part as honorable,
patriotic and loyal Pythian citi-
zens should. We had something
over 40 members present. We
could not begin to- give in detail
all that was done and accom-
plished at this meeting. We re-
fer you to Page Norman and
Esquire Reeder for this informa-
tion. ~
Three applications were voted
on and seven readland referred.
While there were forty mem
bers present, yet we regret to
state that ninety we're absent.
That member who haslfpaid his
dues, purchased a watchfob and
never shows face in the lodge
room, which he has obligated
himself to attend, is not helping
the PYthian lodge to avoid
anger and dissension." What a
pity that some men win pass
through the ceremonies, assert
to the oligations, and promise
conformity to the regulations,
then forget so easily and sudden
ly or utterly neglect and olsen
gage every duty and responsible
ty that may Of right be expected
of them.
May each Pythian embrace the
doctrines and tenets Of friendship
enthroned. guard wellthe portals
through whom all mbstpass, blot
from our memories the Nnkind1
word spoken in thesheat Of pas
sion, and let words of comfort
and cheer flow from our lips. If
you love fellowship, brotherly
love and fraternal spirit become
a regular attendant and demon
strate that you are not only al
Pythian in words but acts and
deeds.

CEMENT PLANT IN GUATEMALA

There is a large American plant
producing cement in Guatemala,
which supplies an important share
Of the local demand. However, for
some work imported products are
preferred and considerable quanti-
ties continue to be imported. Dur
ing 1918 the United States supplied
slightly more than half of the ce-
ment imports, in 1919 it supplied
all of the amount brought into the
country, and in 1920 it shared one
thirteenth Of the imports with Ger
many.

A Good Inheritance
Grandson of and President and
Nephew of Another

What would you say if you
were the grandson of one presi-
dent and the nephew of another,
and all the work you could find
to do was washing dishes?
Would you complain that the
country was ungrateful?
There is such a man doing this
kind of work in a Government
hospital to-day. Yet he dosen't
complain. He washes dishes;
washes them well, and simply
hopes to have something better
to do soon. Folks say that he
dosen't take after his iIIustrious
relations.
Such people have not read BIZ
ography; or they have skipped
the early chapters; or the biogra-
pher. in his desire to get his
hero into the White House, has
condensed" the early years of
common tasks. =
We say the hospital dish wash
er iS showing the same stuff of
good presidents are made.
He is doing the work that is be-
fore him to be done; he is max
ing an honest living without any
effort to maintain a false pride or
to deceive his fellow men. When
better work comes his way, no
doubt he will be able to do it?

Mississippi Butter
Sold in New Orleans alone
7O7,641 pounds, Worth 100000

sO'1VNA RV0D1 " OASAA POVOeVVV
New Orleans will be more than
glad to join hands with the Miss
issippi dairymen in their great
butter project. The Creameries
Cooperative Association of our
sister state, at a meeting signifi.
cantly held in our own city, for
maAy agreed not only to greatly
increase the sales of Mississippi
butter in New Orleans but also to
let the public here know that
what they sell here is MT merely
butter but Mississippi butter"
The dairymen of that state have
at last realized that it is not
enough to put forth a fine pro.
duct-it must be shown to the
public that it is a dependable
good product because it is a uni
form product, uniformly manu-
factured in a uniform territory.
At the meeting referred to, it
was voted that a trademark
henceforth should distinguish the
states butter from other buffers
manufactured anywhere. and
everywhere with no distinctive
quality to give them special value.
The Mississippi dairymen in
cluded in the association have
proven by their audit figures
that from July to january last
year they sold in the New Orleans
market 7O7,641 pounds of butter,
to a total value close to three
hundred Thousand dollars. But
a large part of the advertising
power of that important business /.
was lost because there was moth
ing to show the buyer that he
was purchasing a product from
the old Bayou State. " For all
the consumer and even theretail-
er knew, the butter might a.
well have come from Minnesota,
New York or Texas.
But now all that is to be
and having"the advan-
tage of nearness, the dairymen
Of Mississippi are going in for a
Standardization of brand and
quality in the states butter pro-
ducts. The association is conf
dent that during the current
year million more pounds will
be sold here than was indicated
by the last six months average.
Two and half million pounds
of Bayou State" butter is the
mark aimed ut. That name is
our own, and has not Deen adopt
ed by the association, but what
ever the description selected, it
will mean just that, and all
product fom the superb
herds of dairy cattle that are
being developed in our sister,
state. many Of them grazing on
broad acres Of former pine forest
lands. Those tracts are, with
increasing rapidity, being adapr
ted to dairy farming purposes, az
are also districts Of q similar
in our own Louiaiana,
where correspondingly fine dairy
are being marketed.

Or. 7. ]. Campbell
A Tribute by the knights of
Pythias

Lodge No. 5 Knights of Pythlas.
AS the cycle of years turn one
by one we lay down our labors
and cease our toll.
Time and time again we repeat
in this Castle Hall the sad service
we are performing here tonight,
to pay a just tribute of respect
and homage to the memory and
to the faithful \ service of a
Brother Knight who has gone
iIefore.
DR.. Thomas J. Campbell was a
magnificent man, a man OF
splendid character. When | say
magnificent I do not mean daz-
zIing, but l mean magnificent
and splendid in the possession of
those qualities and attributes
of character that constitute and
make up the real genuine maR,
the man whose life work adds to
the sum total of service in life,
the man whose labors contribute
to the happiness of people.
He was a reticentman. A man
of modest reserve. He did not
thrust himself unmodestly into
affairs. He did not speak to ad-
vertise himself. He did not boast
of his accomplishments, but with
that becoming modesty, that re-
serve, that reticence that marks
always the demeanor of the life
of a true Pythian Knight, a true
gentleman : a gentle man. He
moved with a quiet dignified re-
serve that commanded the re-
spect and reverence of every man
who loved nobility of character
and admired high mindedness of
purpose.
He was positive man. With
all of his modesty. with all of his
reserve, with all of his reticience,
/ do not think | ever knew a man
of more positive convictions, a
man who believed what he did
with more firmness and with
more substance, Frank, open,
positive in all the attributes of his
character, he despised every ele-
ment'.of hypocrisy.
He was a lovable man in his
quiet demeanOr, in his unassum-
ing character and in Mis- gentle
ness. When you approached him,
when you gotnea him whentheye
was fellowship and AbrOtherly
love between you. | never knew
a.man who was more lOyable in
his character, more tender in his
sympathies.
Hewas a man ofgreat compass
sion, because he had in him 4
genuine heart. His sympathies
were as broad as humanity, He
was not pent up and contracted
and narrow ia his views. He
was a polite man, a courteous
gentleman. His attributes Of
character, were real gems. There
was NEVER q more genial and
sympathetic nature q more inde-
pendent and courageous charac-
ter. He was the very soul of
courtesy and self-respecting dig
nifty.
Itwas'agreat privilegetO to have
known and been associated with |
him. His was = delightful per-
sOnality. 70 know him was to
respect, admire. honor and love
him. He was the personification
of kindnes, galldntry and all
those other qualities essential to
che perfect gentlemen and model

Of every duty.
