RInnY MARKS TIME.

Lakewood, n. j., May when
Lester Vultee, of Pinewood Boulevard.
collected the eggs in his hennery to-
day he found among them one laid by
a Rhode-Is land Red that was far dif-
ferent from any he ever had seen be-
fore. The egg has been viewed with
much interest and with varying eX-
plantations by numerous experts. None
has been able to explain why any hen
should lay that kind of an egg.
The egg is of medium size and has
light yellow Shell. One side is flat
and on it is printed what resembles
the dial of clock, with figures. On
the ends there are ridges in the shell.
1t appears that Russell Wheelock.
young nephew of Vultee, found an
old alarm clock recently. While play
ing with it he entered the chicken
coop and set the clock on a platform
opposite the nest where the Rhode Is
land Red hen was setting. 1t is the
opinion of some of the poultry sharps
that gazing at the clock may have
brought about the unusual egg. An
other theory is that the hen may
have registered her protest against
daylight saving, which causes her to
work an hour a day more than usual.

Willard Taylor met with a serious
mishap last week while driving his

thing went alright until he got to the
station when lady asked him to tie
her horse. He Immediately jumped
from the truck, landing with such
force that his feet went through the
bottom of his shoes, driving them up
to his knees. So feeling ashamed he
crawled under the truck and pretend
ed to he fixing something. When the
Lady looked for him he was nowhere

next he sat down on Little Joes' front

to balance himself on ElSeroad's wire

H. s. PROGRAM
SCORES BIG HIT
Heavy Rain Fails to Keep Large Mum.
Der from Attending Athletic
Benefit Program
MANY ARE STILL LAUGHING
Proceeds Sufficient to Free Athletic
Association of Indebtedness

The heavy rain Monday afternoon
and evening prevented the athletic
benefit program from being as great
a financial success as had been hoped,
although the receipts were more than
enough to clear up the Indebtedness
of the athletic association of the high
school. It had been hoped that there
would be enough taken in to purchase
some needed new equipment for the
football team next fall.
However, the program was an un-
expectedly smashing success, consid-
cred as an entertainment. Those who
were there (and between two and
three hundred people came out in
spite Of the weather) received big
value for their money. Some are
laughing yet.
The high school male quartet was
the first number. It was the first ap-
pearance of this new organization,
but we predict it will not be the last,
so enthusiastic was the reception Of
its musical Offering. The quartet is
comprised Of Kenneth Smith, first
tenor, Francis Brennan, second tenor,
Kermin Smith, baritone, And Arthur
Ugelstad, bass, and it is a worthy en-
try into the list of musical organiza-
tions in the high school.
Peydon Guy and Roland Moe gave a
comedy skit, "Vait a Minute" that
kept the house in roars Of laughter,
especially when at the end Roland was
unable to find the stepladder to carry
out his end of the ventriloquist ex-
hibition.
Going from the ridiculous to- the
sublime, the next number was violin
solo by Henry Schiesser. Oakes has
been slow in discovering the genius
Of this young violinist, who entered
the junior class of our high school un-
heralded last fall, but is now recog-
nized as the possessor Of real talent:
His numbers Monday evening were
even more than usually effective.

dAsoNs MEET AT L1DGERwooD
Hope Lodge Brass Band Makes Hit of
the Occasion

About twenty local Masons Journey
ed over to Lidgerwood last Friday to
attend the district meeting scheduled
for that day. The Oakes delegation ar
rived about 1890, and at 2:15 sprung
the surprise of the day. Hope lodge
now boasts band all it's own, num-
bering twelve pieces, and made up Of
members of the city band who are
Masons. Nine Of these were able to
make the trip to Lidgerwood, and
shortly after 2 o'clock they unlim-
bered their instruments and headed
the procession which formed at the
Overland garage and marched to the
Masonic temple, where they gave a
half hours concert.
The meeting was called to order at
3 p. m. Lodge was opened in the M.
NJ. degree by Harmony lodge No. SO
Of" Lidgerwood, after which District
Deputy Grand Master E. Naylor in.
troduced the several grand lodge of.
ificers who were present-Grand Mas
ter H. E. Byorum Of Minot, Grand
Junior Warden Ralph Miller and
Grand Secretary w. L. Stockwell of
Fargo, and Grand Sword Bearer H. E.
Merrifeld Of Hankinson. The degree
team of Hope lodge No. 20 of Oakes
then proceeded to exemplify the work
of the F. c. degree on L. N. Larson,
an E. A. Of Anchor lodge No. 25, of
Minor.
After the work, Mr.. Stockwell gave
a talk on various phases of work in
the degree. He complimented the
district on the large attendance at
the meeting, saying that there were
more present than at any other dis
trict meeting so far this year. The
speaker mentioned the Hope lodge
band as an agreeable surprise, saying
that it was something new, and that
he was glad to see the Oakes lodge
take the lead in this direction. He
suggested the formation Of a band
composed Of all Masons in the district
who are musicians, and that such
band be present at the grand lodge
sessions, which open at Fargo or
June 20.
The brethren were then formed in
marching order by a marshal appoint
ed by Secretary Stockwell, and, head
ed by the flag and the band, marched
to Bohemian hall, where the Lidger-
wood ladies Of the Eastern Star had
prepared a banquet. The ladies had
miscalculated somewhat, for while
they had figured on serving only
about 100 persons, approximately 16l
sat down to the spread.
The evening session opened at 1880
Deputy Naylor presented Grand Mas.
ter Byorum, who gave an historical
account Of Masonry in North Dakota
from territorial day to the present
time. He was followed by Secretary
Stockwell, the principal speaker Of the
evening, who delivered an address or
bulletin No. 4, relating to the public
schools. This was illustrated by two.
reel moving picture film.
The Cogswell lodge extended ar
invitation for the next meeting to be
held at that place, which was prompt.
ly accepted. The next district gath.
ering will therefore be held at Cogs.
well some time this fall.
