surrendered their chairs to the officers
of the convention: chairman, Ada
Brown of lone; vice-chairman, Etta
Bristow, lone; secretary-treasurer,
Lillian Turner of Heppner.
Mrs. Tina Moore, in a splendid ad
dress of welcome made the visiting
lodges feel at home; this was re
sponded to in a pleasing manner by
Mrs. Lillian Turner.
Exemplification work of a sister vis
iting from another jurisdiction was
nicely put on, Sister Olive Frye acting
at the visitor. Following a short re
cess there was the opening of the
question box, and a general discus
sion on using open Bible in the lodge
room. This was followed by a beau
tiful talk by Sister Frye on A True
Rebekah." Brother Frank Griffin gave
an interesting talk on "Fraternity."
The following committees were ap
pointed; Memorial, Question Box,
Resolutions, Thanks, and the Press.
lone lodge reports 124 members to
date; their lodge is floursihing like
the bunehgrass from which it is
named. Lexington reports 82 mem
bers, and they are gaining in interest;
have given some benefit suppers,
dances, etc. Owing to bad roads.
Mistletoe Lodge No. 23 of Hardman
was not well represented, there being
only two of their members present
and no report was given. A few mem
bers were also present from Morgan
and we understand they aim in the
near future to organize a lodge. San
Sooci Lodge No. 33 of Heppner had
a large delegation present. They
report their membership as 171 to
date.
The following officers were elected
for the 1925 convention which was
voted to be held at Heppner: chair
man, Florence Hughes of Heppner;
vice-chairman, Etta Barlow of lone;
secretary-treasurer, Lillian Turner of
Heppner.
An adjournment was then taken
until 8 o'clock.
At 5:30 a bounteous banquet was
served by the lone ladies, and we say
emphatically that these estimable
ladies are hard to beat as cooks. The
tables were fairly groaning under the
weight of good things Just here we
want to thank most heartily, not only
those who served the banquet, but all
those ladies who so kindly threw open
their homes to us. We thank you.

Real Estate & Insurance.
By C. A. MINOR
Many are the days I have lived amongst you;
Infirmity forced me to leave, to wander away.
But now that X am stronger and better, God granting,
1 have come back here (to Heppner) to stay.
Back where the trees of the forest grow greener,
And the flowers at Spring-time cover the ground,
Where friendship ties are held a little truer,
Theje is where my boy-hood friends are found.
Where the coyote wails upon the broad open prairie,
And the hoot of the owl lulled me to sleep at night;
Where the little lambs made music in the evening.
Back where I have lost, and won, many a hard fight.
Well do I remember the hat I used to wear, J. B. Stetson brand,
Many a- time I have chased it across the burning sand,
And one night in December, that storm I never shall forget,
The wind lifted it from my head, and I never have found it yet.
How I love to look upon that by-gone picture;
The old log house, the door string ever in view,
Where oft we popped the corn, by tallow-candle light,
And watched the sparks as outward they flew.
I see the tracks that Santa made, in the chimney,
As down through that black, narrow crevice he bore,
Bat I guess Santa has forgot where I am living,
For I see not his marks in the chimney any more.
All these hills were open then, this land all was free;
No house to mar the view as far as the eye could see.
The saddle was my home then, and oft I fanned the breeze,
Standing in my stirrups, a horse between my knees.
The prairies are all plowed now, the herds gone on before.
The jingle of the cowboy's spurs is heard now no more.
The mesa wagon, the rope corral, they each had their day,
But the insurance man is here; I guess he comes to stay.
So I sold the old saddle, I almost worshipped it then,
And am going to make a living like the other men.
I hated so to do it; God knows how I loved the soil,
But riches have vanished, and I loath to deal in oil.
Oil is slick and slimy; I hate such a life to choose.
And its just about as risky as to go to making booze.
Booze is hard to handle; the bottles rattle when they slip;
And the investment is quite heavy, to buy so fast a ship.
I gaze on oil like a fish at bait, It sure does appeal,
For often there is one hundred thousand in a single deal;
And about the time I got to going, the wells would go dry.
Or else they would send for me in Washington, to testify.
Ships must have a passport, and I hardly know fore from stern.
With balls flying everywhere, 1 wouldn't have time to learn.
And if by chance I should beat them, it would be the same,
For they would get the whiskey, and I would get the blame.
Well, what's the use to worry, complain, or cry over spilt milk,
1 will go to making booze, roll my pants, and show my sox of
silk.
But booze is not all In the making; one must first find a sale.
And then the papers get an inkling, and oh, its such a horrid
tale.
So I have studied the thing all over, am sure I am right.
Real estate and insurance is the best thing now in sight;
So I have rented an office, hung up a sign; my hat's in the ring,
I can insure your life, against your wife, or any old thing.
When the sap is up and running, the tree looks at its best,
That's the time to be examined; that's the time to stand the
test,
For when the beetles gather, they burrow to the very core,
The tree top soon turns yellow; its days of grace are o'er.
Life is but a drama, in which we all must play our part;
The tree that looks the greenest, oft is dead at the heart,
And when the cruiser eometh, he measures it at its girth;
The tree is then rejected; sold for the wood it's worth
So, drop into the office; while young you can stand the test.
And remember, the rose just blooming always sella the best;
That when its leaves begin to wither, to droop away and die,
And its lost its days of beauty, no one cares to buy.
When the sap Is up and running and the bloom in on your
cheek.
Get a policy on your life, and present to the wife to keep;
Then another on your home, and don't forget to insure the car,
And if you lose all else you have, insurance is worth par.
Now don't forget the number, my name hangs o'er the door,
And I can't skin you any worse than they did here before,
1 will be there to greet you; I will be Johnny-on-the-spot;
And what I know about insurance, some one else forgot.
Life ia made of many changes; they come thick and fast,
And often in the shuffle, we are short of change at last;
So drop into the office; don't forget to bring your wife;
I will send you home smiling with a twenty-year life.
