us at the present time and concluded
by stating that Red Lodge has one of
the best Odd Fellow Lodges and one
Of the leading Rebekah organizations
in the entire state. While "Odd Eel

address that should have been heard
by the people of the city generally re-
gardless of lodge connections as it
abounded in lofty sentiment and in
good common practical sense and kind
ly advise to both young and old.
He is m eloquent and entertaining
speaker and his future visits to this
city will be welcomed not only by the
members of fhe fraternity which he
so ably represents but by the people
