STEDTOKD 5EIE TRIBUNE. BEDFORD. REGON, SATURDAY, SVPRTL S3, 3923
SGOniSH RITE
Letters temporary of dispensation
iave been received by Scottish Rite
Masons of tho Rogue River valley
for a lodge of perfection, which con
fers tho Ineffable deurees from the
fourth to the fourteenth inclusive.
The petition was signed by 19
brethren interested, at a meeting
held in Mcdfnrd on the evening of
April 16th, and temporary officers
were chosen at that time.
The ancient and accepted Scottish
Jlite, consisting of thirty-threo de
grees is governed and administered
by bodies of the 33rd degree, called
Supreme Councils. Of these, the
oldest in the world Is that for the
southern Jurisdiction of the United
States, located at Washington, Dis
trict of Columbia, but whose See is
Bt Charleston, In the state of South
Carolina, where It wna organized. It
was established on tho 3 1st of May,
1801, and from It all other supreme
councils now existing have mediately
or Immediately organized.
y Everywhere, except In Orcnt Brit
ain, Chile and tho United States, tho
supreme councils administer all the
degrees, and the Inspectors confer
the blue degrees and establish mas
ter lodges, and these are chartered
and governed by the supremo coun
cils. The supreme councils of the:
United States have never exercised '
these powers, for the sake of har
fnony, leaving tho blue degrees to be
administered under the authority of
tho grand lodges, and themselves
. never chartering symbplic lodges.
The ancient and accepted Scottish
Rite Is more widely extended than
any other system, no other being
worked o any extent In tho laltn
-countries of Europe and America.
It is only required that a candi
date for tho Ineffable and higher de
grees, even to the 33rd, should be a
lawful Master Mason In goud standing.

CLUING FAST
WASHINGTON, April 28. Contin
ued increases In industrial production
further expansion In building opera
tions and freight movements heavier
each week than In any corresponding
week In four years, was reported as
among the outstanding features of
business conditions this month in a
statement today By the federal reservo
board.
General production, the statement
announced, was 80 per cent higher on
the board's Index ratio than the high
peak of 1920, and 67 per cent above
the low point of 1921.
There has yet been no reflection in
rediscounts by the federal reserve
banks of the reported heavy borrow
ings from member banks of the re
serve system. The banks, It was Bald,
have managed thus far to take care
of tho culls for funds, which have be
come Increasingly great as the Indus
trial expansion progressed.
The loans of member banks for com
mercial purposes Increased $48,000,000
in thirty days, prior to April 11. The
increase, however, has not ben reflect
ed the rediscounts of the resrve banks
largely as a result, the statement ex
plained, of withdrawal, of funds from
investment and the continued inflow
of gold. This condition also has re
sulted In more or less stable money
rates.
March sales by department stores as
reported to the federal reserve banks
were about 22 'per cent greater than a
year ago. With this went an In
creased turnover of stock, as shown by
the fact that stocks held by the re
porting stores were only six per cent
greater than in March, 1922. Sales
by mall order houses were reported as
larger than in any month since No
vember 1920 and 63 per cent larger
than March of last year.

Flooring Your Home With Hardwood
F ..ill
A luxury in appearance, but a real economy in construction.
Ill-advised and careless building has always resulted in regret
and the addition of permanent flooring eventually. Hardwood
floors are made a necessity today by the modern crusade against
carpets with their dirt and heavy housework. They not only add
to the comfort and convenience of your home, but increase its
value, : "
And last but not least, the cost will actually prove a pleasant
surprise.
