ments to Grand Master Ellis W. Ryder.
Appropriate to the praise l would
accord him is an old, old poem which l
will recite:
.Abou Ben Adhem, may his tribe
increase,
Awoke one night from a deep dream of
peace,
And saw within the moonlight in his
room
Making it rich as a lily in bloom
An angel writing in a book of gold
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem
bold,
And to the presence in his room he
said:
"What writest thou?" The angel raised
its head,
And with a look made of all sweet
accord,
Answered: "The name of those who
love the Lord"
"And is mine one" said Abou; 'cNay,
not So"
Abou spoke more low, but cher1ily still
And answered: 81 pray thee then
Write me as one who loves his fellow
men,"
The angel came again the next night,
Midst a great glow of light,
And showed the names of those whom
love of God had blessed,
And 10 Ben Adhem's name led all the
rest.
You, Grand Master, have shown
great love for your fellow Masons and
so your name leads all the rest in Alpha
Grand Lodge of Scottish Rite Masons.
You richly deserve the honor; for no
man has striven harder than you to
show the light of masonry to the many
young men who have entered our ranks
in the past decade. You have climbed
the ladder from the first round to the
BIRD and your life has been one of
respect and esteem in this magnificent
city.
Ben Franklin said: "See'st thou a
man diligent in his business, he shall
stand before kings" and Franklin, did
stand before kings in his great and
honorable life, as Ambassador to the
Court of st. James and in other dis
tinguished positions. You, too, will
stand before kings in that great iudg-
ment day when the hosts of masons
from North America, South America,
Europe, Asia and Australia, Yea, from
all the world, go marching on. You
will stand in line with that vast num-
Der of Grand Masters and Past Grand
Masters including our own Simon Ball
William II. Jones, John w. Roisten
Butler R. Wilson and it is the hope OF
your deputy Grand Master, who stands
beside you now to be also in that line
beside you.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, June 18-lR-Wheat
futures moved over a range OF
about a cent and a half in a dull
session today but the close was un-
changed to IL cent higher than
yesterday.
At the start wheat futures adj
vanced SO to l 3-8 cents and what
action there was took place early
in the session under scattered buy
ing influenced largely by the up
turn in the stock market and less
favorable weather and crop COM
ment from the southwest.
. Subsequently the market receded
from the peaks and steadied
around 70 cents for the September
wheat contract. Traders showed an
inclination to await announcement
of the peace terms to be offered
the French by the axis powers.
Other grains acted in sympathy
with wheat and all changes we're
confined to minor fractions.
Most trade in wheat vas de-
scribed as of local character and
wheat did not show real weakness
at any time during the session, re-
hecting traders said, the feeling
that the market had been fully
liquidated and was in a position to
reflect any constructive news.
The Winnipeg and Buenos Aires
markets. were ~featureless. Kansas
City and Minneapolis followed Chi
cago.
Broomhall estimated the German
controlled areas would need 200,
600, 600 bushels of wheat this sea-
son without consideration of h e
losses of this years crop in in
vaded territory. The European
crop summary was generally I'm
favorable, only Italy, Spain and
Portugal showing average crops,
with rain needed throughout Eur.
ope and in Australia.

RAILROAD ISSUES
LEAD BOND GAINS
Rush To Buy Italian And Ger
man Loans Subsidies But
Most End Higher

NEW YORK, June 10 Up -
Railroad issues led in a narrowly
advancing bond market today. The
rush to buy Italian and German
loans subsidized, but most of them
ended higher, and the hard pressed
British dominions' liens found sup
port.
The sudden interest in rails, par
~ticularly the lower priced group,
was traced in brokerage quarters
to a better than s%easonally ex-
pected pickup in carloadings on
many prominent systems. Heavy
movement of materials used in
armament m a k in 6 and other
phases of the European war &C
counted for much of the better
showing.
Ending fractions to more than a
point higher were southern rail-
way As at 48 So, Union Pacific
3 lbs at IS IL, Southern Pacific
4 lbs at IS ga, Northern Pacific
is at 81 1-8, Missouri Pacific IS at
1-9, and Santa Fe As at lO3 "a.
Other domestic loans making
some progress included internation-
al telephone SIS, Goodrich 4 las,
consolidated oil 3 LIS, American
& Foreign Power IS, Montana
Power 8 3-4s and Pacific Gas 3 3-4s.
In the foreign dollar group gain
ers of fractions to more than a

unstamped Is and Colombia IS.

is FEATURED AT ROYAL

Drums Along the Mohawk"
promises to be the highspot of the
day at the Royal Theatre today.
Filmed in the latest Technicolor,
with Claudette Colbert and Henry
Fonda in the starring roles, this
goth C~entury-Fox picture brings
unsurpassed action, wildly direct
ed by John Ford. The story is

work.
