TREE LECTURE HERE MONDAY EVENING The news was received this week that l»nts is to have a Masonic lodge and there is great rejoicing among the Ma sons here who have been working to this end tor the past several months. The new order has been named Sbilob Lodge A. F. A A. M. The char ter list includee some of the beet known men in the Mt. Scott district, all of tbe >> from lodges outside of the state, which is considered quite an odditv and a fact of which the lodge is proud of in that it does not weaken the membership of any of tbe larger city lodges. The Charter members so far are: Or rin A. Hess, Ohio; C. L. Geseil, Iowa; H. E. Pease, Iowa; A. F. Hershuer, Oregon; Fred Kataky. Minn.; V. J. Marin, Mich.; John Wairod, Wis.; E. W. Miller, Mich.; 8.

Ixmcke, ' Washington; and II. Haeham. A two story building will be bailt at once on the property adjoining the Mnltnomab State Bank by tbe owner, especially for the lodge. It will be 58x 80 feet with store rooms below and an up-to-date and spacious lodge room overhead. The entrance will be on tbe Foster road adjoining the Lente Phar macy. It is said that this will be the most lavishly furnished lodge room in the town and will be used for this pur pose only. Dr. Hess will occupy offices on tbe ground floor and who tbe other tenants will be has not been given out as yet. The lodge has for its first officers, O. A. Hess as W. M.; C. L. Geseil as 8. W. and Fred Katzy as J. W. Tide gives them an excellent roster of officers and we bid them every prosperity in the world. That the new order will be a great boon to the town is a foregone conclu sion, for where ever you find a Masonic lodge you always find something doing ad the time.

WAS WELL ATTENDED Mrs. Lent Hostess-Resume of Speech Delivered on the Occassion. The Old House Would Look More Cheerful and There’s Money Saved, Too, for Buildings Will Last Longer Why not use a little paint occasion ally, good people? Not long ago a paint ed farm buildinr was a curiosity, but farmers are learning that paint isa good investment. It prolongs tbe life of the buildings, adds value to tbe price of the farm, and helps to make a "home beautiful." Buildings last 25 to 50 per cent longer if painted. That means that a building which would last 50 to 75 years unpaint ed would last 75 to 125 years if painted. It is the same with certain fencee and farm implements. It is easy to see that paint eaves money. Unqueetionably, paint raises tbe value of a farm. A place with well kept buildings, painted regularly, will sell from one half to five or ten timee more than it would if it wasn’t well kept. The story of an Ohio farmer’s exper ience with paint proves this. A farmer in that state wished to sell his home stead. He had allowed it to run down until the fencee were very poor and the house and buildings were a disgrace to tbe neighb rhood. Finally a wide-awake man camo along and purchased this farm. He spent 0200 in painting the buildings and repairing the fences and tidying up in general. Within two months be sold tbe place for 01600 more than he paid for it. He did nothing to the crop-producing power of the soil. He bad only made tbe farm neat and attractive and much more "homey." In making the "borne beautiful" perhaps the largest and be t paying in vestment is effected. Who cares to live in an old sdnburned bouse that never felt the touch of a paint brush? Who would blame a boy or girl, either, for running away to town to get away from it? And yet uuiy a coat or two of paint would work a great change. The old home would have a fresh, neat ap pearance. — Industrialist.
