Under the capable Spresiding in

Brookhaven Lodge has made wonder
full progress during the past year,
holding schools Of instruction both
for its officers and its members, and
the work presented on, Monday
night was one of the most splendid
complications of this work that
could be witnessed, and the large
outpouring of the membership at
this meeting had every occasion to
feel justly proud of their Lodge and
their membership in the institution.
Masonry always welcomes an up
right man, and while the order will
not permit Of any man being soli-
cited for his membership, yet 1t at all
times meets the applicant who is e.
lected to take the solemn and most
impressive degrees Of the order, with
open arms, and to the long list of
many worthy and true men Of our
county who have passed into this or

freshment. During the conversation
over the drinks he persuaded her to
come to his office and see about Sc
curing position with him.
Soon after that she went to work
for him, although the typewriter
which she was to operate was never
delivered. Then, the young woman
asserts, he began to talk amorously.
OFFERED MARRIAGE.
81 had been working for Governor
Russell only a short time when he
told me that he loved me and wanted
to marry me-, her story continues.
HE told me he had been married
for several years, that his wife had
no children, that he was not happy
with her, and that he was then try
ing to get a divorce. He assured me
that as soon as he could get his di-
vorce he would marry me-"
Miss Birkhead-being, she says:-

to fall in love with Russell. The
alleged betrayal is given as the i'm

for and trusted him, he undertook to

and colleague, Mr.. Brady, side by
side with him into the worlds old
est and greatest order.
Mr.. Wall needs no urging to talk
to Masonic brethren, his heart is in
the work, his ability to present his
matter to the members, and his de-
sire to also spread Masonic influence
and that great moral uplift that is
the very foundation Of Masonry i'm
pels him in his work.
When Mr.. G. C. Huckaby was next
called upon as a visitor from the
Grand Jurisdiction of Louisiana, the
surprise Of the evening was soon
manifest. Being a student Of the
Craft, man who has spent years In
the research of Masonic history, an
alyzing its ancient symbols, studying
at length the many ssecret signs,
words and phrases, he was able to
present and prove far into the ages
of the past the descent of the order
to the present time.
Mr. Huckaby spoke at length on
Masonic principles and the great te-
nets of the order, complimenting the
work Of the Lodge to high degree.
and proved to be one of the very
brightest and best informed Masons
in the South, and it was with great
regret by everyone present that he
should have to close his lecture for
the evening, when he did.
Brookhaven Lodge will call him
here again on other important occa-
sions, as throughout the year the Ma
sonic fraternity will entertain its
members as we'll as the families of
Its members In some pleasant even
ing open sessions, combining with
Ethe Order Of the Eastern Star whose
wonderful growth is also most indi-
catiye Of the great Masonic interest
being manifested In every section Of

teachers and officials of these schools
will crowd Brookhaven on that day
to attend the athletic events during
the day and the contests in music.
soratory, debating, ETC.. at night.
This will, beAthe greatest event of
the kind ever held in this part of
the state. The high schools of towns
and cities on or south of the A. &
v. Railroad and west Of the G. & s.
l., and the aggie schools in this
territory, including the schools Of
Canton and Flora, are organized for
improvement in all school lines, their
superintendent composing the South
west Mississippi Schoolmasters' AS
sociation. Supt. S. M. Byrd, Of
Brookhaven is president; Supt. j. e.
Gibson of McComb is secretary and
Field Managers Supt. H. f., Stout, Of
Amite A. H. s. is the third member
Of the Executive Committee.
Competitive examinations in Eng
lish, Algebra, Latin and other high
school subjects will be held April
14th. Mr.. H. M. Ivy, State Supervis-
or of High Schools, has been ask
ed to conduct these contests and to
have charge of the big days exer-
cises.
The Kiwanis Club of Brookhaven
agreed to underwrite the Field Day
Meet, thus bringing 1t to this city.
Really on account Of central location,
accessibility by rail and gravel roads
and splendid facilities afforded by
the municipal ball park, this is the
logical city for the meet.
The Executive Committee, met in
McComb Feb. 4 and arranged se-
ries of match games for elimination
in basketball, baseball etc. The
winners in these games will play
championship matches in the final
Field Day meet in Brookhaven April
%.
A constitution and bylaws have
been adopted, and rules which should
make the conduct of all match games
and events much better. Friendly ri
valry, pleasant relations, courtesy
and the clean sportsmanship which
should characterize school athletics
will be fostered. Unless theer is
character training, as well as genu-
inc physical training, clean play. e.
Elimination of ringers and develop
ment of play ethics, athletic contests
are not worth the time spent on
them. The new organization will
attempt to prevent the abuses and to
increase the advantages of field days.
A similar organization has been
the Northeast Mississippi Schoolmas-
ters' Club. which has done much good
during a number OF years and is now
very much alive. The Southeastern
Club has been organized in that part
of the State and one for the Delta
section is under way. Improvement
of the schools in all lines is the aim
of all these bodies. They form inn
portant agencies in the. educational
advancement of the state.

through sincere and uplifting words,
gave to his hearers, few moments

DR.. Cooper is always hailed on
the floor with great enthusiasm al
any meeting, as the greatness of his
name throughout the State is equal

his ability to- present the great

CHANDLER ASKED To
AID STATE HIGHWAY

CHANDLER, June IA. Senator
Wilkinson talked before the Chandler
chamber of commerce at their lunch
con held in the Suhuaro hotel last
Wednesday on the matter of getting a
hard surfaced road built from the Salt
River valley to the Colorado river.
He stated that there We're more
than 10000 people seeking homes in
Southern California annually and
that he believed that within the next
% years that Los Angeles would be-
come the third largest city in the
United States There will always be
more people going into California
than viii be able to find suitable
places to live and We should build a
road connecting the two communities
so that We can be able to get the
people who go to the coast and do
not find what they want. This is not
the only reason, he urged, for the
road as it will soon be, according to
his view, that we will be using high
ways for the distribution of most of
the commodities of this vast terri
tory. In that event he predicts thou
sands of tons of produce will be
hauled over the paved road to Cali
fornia cheaper than it is being hauled
by rail today.
He mentioned the different roads
We now have crossing the state to
the coast and stated that the bulk of
the traffic through the state at this
time is over the Old Trails route and
that the people crossing the state
did not have a chance to see what
the state of Arizona has to offer them
because of the fact that one has not
Arizona republican., 1922-06-15

seen Arizona until they have seen the
Salt River valley. He said, Il do
not mean that when one has seen the
Salt River valley they have seen all
of the state"
"The greater portion of our future
settlement will come from California
he said. "and one of the greatest
drawbacks to this community is the
fact that our summers are somewhat
warm, but when this road is built
there will be an immediate remedy
for this, as one can readily go to the
coast or other California points where
it will be cooler"
The senator stated that some
seemed to think that such large
undertaking as this can not be put
over, but that he is just going right
ahead as if he had been appointed to
have it done as he knows this road
will eventually be built, as the de-
mand for such development is too
great.
He mentioned the different routes,
but emphasized the fact that he is
very much ip favor of the shortest
route because of the saving.
He gave out several petitions to
the members of the chamber Of COM
merce that they might get signers
who would favor the amendment to
the constitution which will make the
building of such roads as this pos
sible. Over 400 signatures had been
placed on the petitions before 4
o'clock.
Has Swimming Pool Plan
Dr.kK. NJ. Gilbert presented his plan
for building an amusement park and
swimming pool to the chamber Of
commerce, which was well received
and seems to be a feasible PROPOSE
! tion and would prove a great drawing
card to Chandler. J. +. De Souza,
