10. 0. F. District Meeting Draws Big Crowd
Annual Banquet, Public Program, and Closed Session
with Degree Teams Competing for District Banner

by three young ladies, Misses
Waneta and Vernita Darby and
Jessie Adams. They had been
faithfully coached on this by Mrs.
Schultheis, and much time spent
in preparation. Appropriately
costumed, the girls carried the
notices, Friendship, Love
and TRUTH" presenting a form
Of interpretive classic dance that
was entirely original. quite intri-
cate and very difficult in presen-
tation. AS an encore, they gave
a drill with the three links, that
was even more appreciated than
the first one. In disposing of the
links, an altar had been prepared
at the front of the stage, but
was not visible to the audience,
and as at the final moment they
advanced from the back of the
stage, this gradually rose into
place and the links were proper
ly placed on it. 1t is not often
that group of people can be
gotten together who have the a.
bility and patience it takes to
work out two such impressive
drills. and there were many COM
pliments for this part of the pro-
gram.
An original poem by W. D.
Darby was next, and dealt large
ly with the work of the order
and it's teachings. When called
back he gave another one that
was also we'll received. The Dis
patch plans to print both in the
next few weeks, and will only
say that both were much appre-
ciated by members of the order
who were present.
An address by the Grand Mas
ter was the last number on the
public program, and was one of
much interest, dealing with the
and showing practical work for
the betterment of humanity and
relief of distress.
The main part of the closed
session was a contest in the pres
entation of the work of the third
degree, the Harrington and Ed
wall lodges participating in the
contest. The judges gave the
honors to Edwall by slight
margin. A lunch was served by
the Rebekahs at midnight.

The district meeting of the Odd
Fellows here last Saturday after
noon and evening was well at
tended, and was one of the most
interesting that has been held
in the district. All lodges of the
district. except the lodge at
Creston, were represented, the
largest delegations coming from
Harrington, Edwall, Reardan and
Wilbur.
In the morning there were a
number of visitors who went out
to the dry falls for a view of the
scenery there, and after lunch
seven or eight cars made the trip
to the head of the coulee, these
two drives being made for the
pose of giving the visitors an op-
portunity to see some Of the
wonders of this section.
At four O'Clock the business
session was held, at which the
delegates from the various lodg-
es met and went over the busi-
ness of the year. Wilbur was
chosen as the meeting place for
next year, and H. Lauderback
and Geo. Bandy of that city were
named as president and secreta-
ry for the coming year. S. M.
Weaver of Wilson Greek was
named for vice-president.
The annual banquet was given
at the Box hall at six O'Clock and
there were about one hundred
and fifty sat down to the splen-
did dinner which the Rebekahs
of Coulee had prepared for the
occasion.
A crowded house greeted the
performers at the evening pro-
gram. The first number was
solo by Mrs. Schultheis, and was
followed by a violin solo by Mr..
Schultheis. AS an encore they
appeared together, he playing
the violin for her song. F. W.
McCann then welcomed the visit
ors, dwelling at some length up
on the wonders of the coulee,
and welcoming all, and urging
them to come again and take
more time to see the coulee. F.
A. McMaster of Spokane, Grand
Master of Washington Odd Eel
lows, responded briefly.
The next number was a drill

Hartline Is Shut Out
in Best Game Of Year

The game of ball last Sunday
on the local grounds, was the
best game of the year, and was
watched by the largest crowd of
the season. The locals won with
a score of three to nothing,
which should have been one to
nothing. as a couple of errors on
Hartline's part let in two scores.
With this exception, both sides
played a splendid game, the ad-
vantage laying with the locals
because of the work done by
Rinker in the box. He struck
out eighteen men, and did not
allow a hit until the eighth inn
ing. Hartline is also entitled to
much credit for the good game
they played.
Next Sundays game will be
played at Quincy, and the one
the following Sunday at Ephrata.
The Spokane Hardware team
is to he here for two days, May
Both and 31st, and good games

Capital Stock Taxes
May Soon Be Reduced

Atlanta, Ca, October 28.-Anoth
er set of tax complexities has beer
added to those that seem to be in
evitable in the administrator of the
income tax with its endless regula.
tions, changing and conflicting inter
pretations.
SIN addition to their income
tax corporations are required to pay
the. federal government capital
stock tax" said Frank Hampstead
income tax expert of Atlanta, Wash
ington and Miami, in discussing the
tax question here today. SIT was in.
stituted as a special source of wal
expense income and is demonstrated
as excise tax, but is actually prop
ertv tax on the entire assets of g
corporation.
Corporation has followed differ.
ent methods in figuring this tax, and
there as many as 10000 disputed re-
visions yearly. 1t is understood that
the capital stock tax section is now
planning to re-examine tax returns fol
past years with a view to an impair
tial readjustment according to com
mon rule"
The capital stock tax, figures
show, yields the government eighty
millions of dollars a year. The pros
pect is that the tax will be greatly re
deuced at the next session of con
gress.

Boy Dreams of
Grid Plays, Breaks
Ribs i'm Tumble

Dalton, Ga, Oct. 21.-Daws Bare,
a member of the Dalton High School
football squad, takes his football Sc
riously.
In the last game, Bare was shift
ed from end to halfback, with his
main problem changed from getting
down tn ifeeld to get the opposing
runner, to that of advancing the ball
himself.
His mind was so occupied with
his new problems hat it continued
to function Sunday night when he
dropped off to sleep, and so when
he started to dreaming, he heard his
signals called, and grabbing the pill
low off the bed, he started.
He was running low and hard,
and when, instead of tackler, he
came to an unresisting stairway, ne
missed his step and went to the bot
tom. 1t was a fine gain, all right;
but he broke a rib and had his shout
der so badly bunged up it is probable
he will be out of the lineup for the
remainder of the season.

Plans New Record

Atlanta, October 28.-Officials of
the Georgia Cotton Growers Co-ope-
rative association Saturday announc-
ed that the organization is receiving
cotton at the rate of 1000 bales a
day fro mits members. Cotton re-
ceived through October 81 totaled

growers this year than they did last
year dispite the fact that in many
counties where the association has
a heavy membership the cotton crop
has been a partial failure.

Rail Lines Progressing
In Efficiency Program

Atlanta, Ga, October 28.-Rail-

the fact that the latest earnings Of

how far the roads have progressed in

weighed down by excessive costs, the
railroads in last five years, it was
staed here, have followed definite
program for increasing the effici-
ency of operation. Thep have ac-
complished this, it was shown, by
making an enormous effort to get
more tons in each car, more cars in

locomotive each day and more trans
portaition out of each ton Of coal.
The cost of producing every ton-mile
of transportation has been thereby
decreased, the executives stated.

Hubby's Suit Must Be
Like That of His Wife

Atlanta, Ga. October EST is
the fashion for husbands and wives,
particularly those who spend a good
deal of time in the country, to have
clothes which match, according to re-
ports received by Atlanta tailors
from their English connections. The
report states thatthe Duke and
Duchess of York on several occa-
sions recently have appeared in tail
ored blue suits, hte cloth apparently
having bene cut from the same roll.
So far this style has not reached At
lanta, the tailors state.
A prominent English tailor, one re-
port received here, had client who
chose a suit of clothes from a par
ticular pattern. He was told there
was just enough cloth to make his
suit. "Is that all?" asked the GUS
toner. "Then I'm afraid it won't
do. My wife wants a coat and skirt
off the same roll from which my
suit comes"
