OUR ORDER
An Original Poem, Delivered at.
10. O. F. District Meeting
at Coulee, May 9, 1925.
By W. D. DARBY


Oddfeilowship! what wealth of thought ~,
How close in friendship we are brought. q
IT'S here we meet as friends and brothers,
Each shares the joy and griefsof others.
No class distinctions here are known,
No rank in life are favors shown.
The old and young, the high and low,
Here arm in arm together 90.
What is the secret of our might. {
That arms US to defend the right,
Assist the weak and needy brother,
Unselfshly to help each other.
The mystic links. that form chain, -'ia
Help us true brotherhood attain
And bind the hearts Of age and youth
In bonds of friendship love and truth.
Friendship true how strong in might.
1t makes our heavy burdens light;
These ills of life are hard to bear,
Unless friend our lot will share.
But friendships ties are weak alone.
Unless true love by us is shown;
This virtue we should cultivate,
For love will Danish strife and hate.
If in love and friendship, linked we are.
Truth will be our guiding star;
In this world of doubt and deceit,
Truths Tampa light to our feet.
For those who will our portals pass
Must follow time with scythe and glass iasa
And hear the voice of wisdom say
Friendship. love and truth obey
The all-seeing eye in blaze of light,
Guards Ger our actions day and night;
Ilr%n oL.o,.r -.
And over us all it vigil keeps.
If we to all friendship show 1e
The culver will supply the bow.
With arrows swift and these shall be
Our deeds Of love and charity.
The bunch of sticks bids us take heed,
Alone. how weak in time of need;
Though firm united in band,
A gigantic power we will command.
IT'S plain we onward must progress,
If we LIES prizes would possess; p
So let the ak symbol be
Of manly toll and energy.
The bow and arrow to mind will bring,
When David stood before the King;
How Jonathan his love to show
Gave him his girdle and his bow
The serpent bids us to beware,
To guard against life's cruel snare;
If wisdom's ways you wisely seek,
Be sure you think before you speak.
The open hand that holds the heart
Bids us sweet sympathy mpart;
And in our gifts of love believe
More blessed to give than to receive.

The ark which bears the plates of stone
Means for our sins we must atone;
Around this altar we must meet
For it is Gods own mercy 'seats r. s-e-s, :.
The globe enwrapped in fog and mist
Means all mankind we must assist; 33s rs
Where'er we find there's want and woe es
To their assistance we must go. ~
The book Of books, our rule and guide 80
BY its precepts we abide;
And like the Good Samaritan
Show love to God by love to men.
The sword and scales are here combined
To prove that justice here we find:
The scales weigh we'll our deeds correct,
The sword our honor will protect ~ ~

Our life is as the hour glass.
How quick from youth to age we pass,
We are returned to him who gave,
IT'S but'a step from cradle to grave
The scythe bids us prepare to greet
The end we all are sure to meet; 8Qoi9
We do not know the hour nor day oisqe
That time with scythe may pass our way
The cefin makes the lesson plain .E
That DER US all grim death win reign;
This gruesome lesson we must learn,
From dust thou art to dust return.
Our order stands for all that's good,
Our lodge christian brotherhood,
We strive to heed the divine behest,
Visit the sick, and relieve the distressed.
When comes that final summons dread, 8.
With fitting rites we bury the dead
Nor do we leave the last to others
To aid the family of stricken brothers.
Our labor .unceasing, our sympathy great, ~
The orphans we help to educate; s9S'
We treat alike both age and youth 5, n
By deeds Of friendship. love and truth. :" =
when friendship, love and truth abound

Sweet roses grace the thorny way

The flowers that shed their leaves today
Shall bloom again tomorrow.
ION halcyon wings our moments pass,
Lies cruel cares beguiling;
Old time lays down his scythe and glass

Are holy Friendship, Love and Truth"

HATS OFF TO THE FARM BUREAU

Wonder how many of you realized the import
ance of that little story carried on our front page
recently the effect that Imperial county now has the
largest farm bureau in the entire state OF CaIl1orna
Something to think about, Ell?
And it marks mile stone in the agricultural his
tory of Imperial county just as surely as the hlgh
peak of lettuce shipments the biggest cantaloupe
crop.
1t is all the more surprising when stops to
consider that the gain made in close competitlon
with Orange and Ventura counties which on March l
were both ahead of Imperial county. On April l, I'M
peria county had passed them and with approximate.
y 1000 members takes honored place at the heaQ OF
the class. Both Ventura and Orange counties boast
considerably population than Imperial county
and have for long been looked upon as leaders IN all
agricultural pursuits
Only those who are familiar with the history of
the Imperial County Farm Bureau from its inception
can fully realize what wonderful thing 1t is Tor TINS
county isolated away off here in the southeast corner
of the state leap into first place velng With every
other county in this expansive state of ours 1t would
be an honor to be the leading farm bureau IN one
of the 4S in this glorious country of ours But
to lead in California the Golden, the state that pro-
duces 81 per of all the vegetables and fruits IN
the United Statesah that IS, IN truth an honor worth
striving for.
1t simply goes to show that the Imperial Valley
farmer is at last coming to realization hat the 1arn
bureau is most necessary adjunct to his success ana
Development Farmers here are beginning to see that
only by cooperation and harmonious efforts toward
common goal the greatest benefit be obtained tor
them a class. .
We have done much but what we have done would
pale into insignifcance alongside what possible II the
farmers of the valley unite and present solid
front against any and all interests that would exploit
them in any way
Mention of the growing prestige of the farm bu-
reau would not be complete without word of tribute
to its manager, c. c. Jenkins who works early and late
for the interests of the organization And to the pre-
sent board of directors must much credit for what
has been recently accomplished. All of them men
who familiar with the peculiar agricultural prob
lens of the valley, and much serious thought and
energy are being expended ways and means OF
bringing to the valley farmer the large measure OF
prosperity and contentment that are his rightful
heritage.

land then, all of sudden he saw,
living on the ground, a cone from
pine tree.
"ITa!' said Uncle Wigsily. III

VOICES PROTEST ON UNFAIR TAX
 ALASKA LAWS
CANADIAN pRoSPEcToR AND MI. NER IN ALASKA HOPES THAT
 CANADIANS WILL RECIPROCATE

In a recent issue of the Dawson Weekly, under the head of "Commu- nications," the following letter was published:
 Is This Fair?
 To all Canadians and Also American
 Citizens Residing in the Yukon Ter
 ritory, Canada.
 I wish to bring to your notice the unfair tax the Alaska Game Commis- sion or the United States Govern ment has put upon the Canadian mi ner and prospector operating in In- terior Alaska.
 Almost every Yukoner and Alaskan knows, that to go out and prospect in the wilds of interior Alaska that the prsopector has to practically live by the rifle or he couldn't prospect, and also the miner operating in these out of the way places has to depend on his rifle to make both ends meet. Now, Canadians, take notice of what you are going to run up against if you figure on crossing the line into Alaska to prospect or mine. You have three chances. First, leave your rifle in Canada; second, pay one hundred dollars license a year and bring your rifle along and kill your meat in open season; third, declare your intentions to become United States citizen, which is a very easy and in- expensive thing to do, as you have only about thousand miles to mush to get to the nearest clerk of the court, and a prospector generally has lots of money and time to spare to do these little things.
 I wish to say a few words on each of these chances that I have already mentioned First. In leaving youl rifle in Canada, you are not breaking the law, but to carry it over the line you are, even if you are carrying il only for protection, and everyone

MAGIC LURE OF CHASE

Every sportsman can sympathize with the miner who came to Seattle recently from the Cassiar district in British Columbia and confessed he found the mining of gold not nearly so exciting as the search for it.
 Prospecting, like hunting, calls for a special type of mentality. A sure thing guy' never succeeds at either He sees no fun in tracking endless miles over rough country in search of game. Whipping stream for trout bores him. Mushing into the wilderness seeking gold that may or may not be present in a district as big as a European nation appeals to him as foolish waste of time and ef- fort.
 When he craves venison, he goes to a restaurant or importunes a friend who finds pleasure in hunting. He wants his mountain trout served to him on a plate, crisply cooked and calling for no effort other than rhythmatic lifting and lowering of fork and knife.
 But, to the man who seeks the gold, to the hunter who pursues the buck, to the fisherman who whips the stream, the accomplishment of the objective is only incidental. To them it is the quest, the lure of the hunt, the magic of the chase.
 Such men broke through the Ale ghenies and opened the West to set

the Yukon Territory, Canada? At present I think they have the same hunting privileges as a Canadian citi- zen. I only hope that if this tax continues in Alaska, that the Cana dian Government will reciprocate with a duplicate tax on American citizens now residing in the Yukon Territory. It would only be fair at that.
 Canadians, once more I ask you to take notice. You think you have the same privileges in Alaska as the American citizen has in the Yukon Territory. YOU HAVE NOT. That is all BUNK. You have the same privileges as any other alien. No more or no less. consider myself a Canadian and was under that same
