Search On for
Oldest Mason

WASHINGTON, D. c., July L.
One of the perennial questions in
Masonic circles is, who is the old
est Mason? and research brings out
some interesting facts concerning
Masons of advanced years.
Edward H. Cass, secretary of 81
loan Lodge, No. rs, of Chicago,
claims to be the Oldest active living
Masonic secretary in the world. He
is in his ninety-third year.
Ohio claims one of the oldest
living Masons in the person of IL.
H. Robinson, of Spartan Lodge, No,
l26, of Millerburg, He was born
in Millersburg, ninty five years ago
and was raised Master Mason
nearly 20 years ago. He is also the
oldest living graduate of Ohio Wes-
leyan University.
James Harrod, also of Ohio, dicI
recently at the age of SO years, and
had been a Mason 70 years.
Burbank is Mason
Luther Burbank, whose marvellous
plant creations have won him the
sobriquet of wizard has just cclc
brated his seventy-fourth birthday.
California boasts another famous
aged Mason in Cornelius \. Cole of
Los Angeles who reached the century
mark this year. He was a United
States Senator during the Civil War
and was 4 close friend of Lincoln
lie has been a Mason for nearly 10
years.
But after all the palm undoubted-
ly goes to DR.. Joseph Halstead of
Breckenridge, Mo-, who is 105 years
old and was made a Mason at Lex
ington, Ky, in 1912. He therefore
has a Masonic history covering 81
years. He was family physician for
Henry Clay and remembers seeing
Lafayette upon the occasion of his
American visit in 1924. Lafayette
was made Mason by Washington.

Outlook For New
Cotton Grading
Station Bri h t


According to C. C. Jenkins, man.
ager of the Imperial County Farm
Bureau, the establishment of cot
n-grading station for the northern
portion of the valley is practically
assured. An $4,000 guarantee is
necessary to secure the installation
of the station. A drive is being
instituted to obtain the required
sum as soon as possible. Contracts
for the amount of $1,000 were
signed in one day, indicating that
the ranchers realize the value of
having such a station in the COM
munity.
Imperial will probably be the To-
cation of the proposed cotton grad
ing office. 1t is hoped that the
coming season will see the new sta
tion i'll operation.

WHAT IS AN AMERICAN?

Probably to nearly every citizen of this great land
American means the spot in which he lives and which
holds for him the dearest associations. If he jour
neys to another section his view of America widens,
and if chance takes him the continent east
west, north SOUTH his vision of his country
in strength and beauty.
We have been told many times that there is
typical American and it is indeed hard to define one
when the many persons who go to make up the com
poste citizen considered separately. Honore Will
sic Morrow answering her little sons question, What
does it mean to be Americana" found it hard to
express.
She thought of New England and Virginia and
their contribution to American history of the great
Mississippi valley and its contribution to the worlds
food supply She thought of the West and the years
of pioneering that went into its making, and of the
pioneering going on in Alaska. She thought of
the vast reclamation projects which to turn thou
sands of of sand into fertile fields and orchards
She thought of the Panama canal and what it has
meant to the commerce of the world.
Then she tried to it all up. To be an AM
erican is perhaps to sacrifice to produce to pioneer
to create, to build, to She found when she
through that she hadn't made clear definition. But
she has suggested of the traits which we like to
consider typicaly American and in which,

Greer Sighs for
Valley Weather

+. w. Greer, well known Boulder
Dam exponent and publicity man,
who is sojurning in various parts
of the east at present, writes the
following tribute to Imperial Val
ley's summer climate:
Leaving Imperial Valley some
two weeks since where the temper
ature was 10 in the shade and lit
tie shade,' it was to be expected
that cool breezes would come to
make comfort and drive away the
thoughts of summer. The trip by
days, however, dispelled any illu-
sions. Not a single one of the ten
after leaving Imperial Valley was
as pleasant as those around the
homestead shack.
"First, across the desert it was
to be expected that the less cloth
ing one were the better off he
would be physically but in New
Mexico across the back bone of
the rockies the thermometer in the
Pullman registered 1l3 and meant
it.
Then across Kansas a new rain
had made things look fresh and
cool along the miles of wheat fields
just turning golden but inside the
car the heat remained and a long
ing for the comfort of Imperial Val
ley was uppermost in thought.
Weather Unusual

was 80 and of course took over

UNITED STATES OF RUSSIA

compliment of adopting federal constitution model

There is marked difference, however. There
is not word in the Russian constitution regard
ing freedom of religion, freedom of speech freedom
of assembly and freedom of the press all of which
expressly guaranteed by the first amendments to

amendment, it may begin to get somewhere with its

A day or two later across Ohio
