Commandery
To Celebrate
The annual custom, of the Knights
Templars of the world is to assemble on
Christmas day and pay due homage to
the Christian religion which they ad
here to. In conformity to the toast as
sent out by the grand master of the
grand encampment of the United States.
the subordinate commanderies in" Ore
gon will fittingly celebrate the day and
in the asylum of Washington command
ery No. 15. meeting at East Eighth and
Burnside streets the Christmas observ
ance will be one in striking contrast to
that heretofore held.
The Commandery will meet this year
at the hour of 6 o'clock p. m. and for
the occasion they have invited : their
friends and their children to enjoy their
hospitality. It is seldom that other than
members of the fraternity are permitted
to witness the drinking of the toasts, as is
the custom ; but Washington command
ery has combined this service with that
of a Christmas tree in honor of the chil
dren. At the tree Santa Claus will
preside and deliver to the children of
the city small tokens. At the same time
the members of the commandery - will
receive gifts from the tree in the form
of personal presents, practical jokes in
cidental with the events of the past
year, etc., together with such other gifts
as may be offered.
With the events of the evening will be
the installation of the officers of the
commandery for the ensuing year, and
this part of the templar service will be
in charge of the grand prelate of the
grand encampment of the United States,
Rev. William Wallace Toungson, assist
ed by the grand captain general of the
grand commandery of Oregon and the
grand master of the grand lodge, A. F.
and A. M. of Oregon. W. G. Scjiellen

Dr. William WallaceYoungson. grand
prelate of the grand encampment of
Knights Templar of the United States,
has just returned from a trip East in
the Interest of the fraternity and an
nounced that he had secured a wonder
ful addition to the work of Templarlsm
by getting for the grand encampment
of the United States and for Washing'
ton commandery No. 15 of Poitland. in
which organisation he holds the office
of prelate, from the Arm or Curtis
Cameron of Boston. Mass., a set of pic
tures for lecture purposes taken from
the original drawings of the paintings
that adorn the walla of the public
library in Boston. These pictures have
for years been copyrighted by Messrs.
Curtis and Cameron, who are known
the world over for their Copley prints.
and never before have they been allowed
to be in use for the purpose asked for.
Dr. Youngson made a trip to Boston to
personally interview Mr. Curtis and
after stating his case and his desire to
embody the pictures in the lectures of
the Order of Knighthood and in an illus
trated lecture he plans to give on "The
Quest of the Holy Grail." secured per
mission ot the Boston firm to have them
reproduced. It was then necessary to
secure permission from the head of the
Templars of the united States to em
body these pictures in the work, which
was done by having an Interview with
Lee S. Smith ot Pittsburg, and an order
was given to secure them at once. A
year ago Dr. Youngson secured for the
commandery one of the most complete
sets of slides that is held by, any rra
ternal organisation. Now, with the ad
ditlon of the new set of pictures. Dr.
Youngson will not only be called upon
by his own commandery but will answer
calls from different commanderies over
the United States' to give the work as
approved by the grand -encampment.
One of his first calls will be to give the
lecture before ' the grand encampment
officers who meet in Reno, Nev.. on
February 23, at the Instituting of

plars in that state.'

Now Public Library
Plans to Hooverize
In the interests of economy, the pub
lic library has decided to "HooverUe'
its diminished book fund.
We are asked to give up eating so
many, sweets and to turn our attention
to conservation la every line we must
help, win the war. Novels are sweets,
and while no Intelligent person would
advocate doing without them, it is
equally obvious that much of the cur
rent output is at best only a confec
tion ot doubtful nutritive value.
We propose, therefore, to limit more
strictly our purchase of new novels to
such as have welL established claims
to attention other Than that they are
best sellers. No borrower who wishes
recreational reading need suffer any de
privation. In times like the present
it is particularly necessary to preserve
our mental and emotional sanity by
reading such books as .will relieve the
strain of actual Ufa and nothing is bf
better service than a novel. We shall,
therefore, take especial pains to keep a
section In the circulation department
well stocked with ."good stories."
The mark of a leader as against a
follower is that he can make even his
limitations yield every possible advan
tage. This la an excellent opportunity
to get acquainted with those fine sto
ries you have always been going to
read, to find out what splendid tales
He neglected on library shelves, snowed
under by the endless stream "Just off
the press."
Help your library to be a leader and
seise this opportunity to catch up with
the good stories you never before had
time to read; or get that delightful
reeling of renewing old aequalntanoes
by rereading the s fori as good for all
time. Of course the really worth while
current novels will still be purchased.

of Oregon wonderland.
Mr. Murphy outdoes himself In oorn
pUment to the highway and its build

enthusiastic about; he likes Portland,
its hotels, business houses and hospi

of them In color from photographs by
local artiste, and some reproductions of

varied experience. Oregon may well
feel elated that this country impressed
him so favorably.
