IN NEW QUARTERS Modern Woodmen and Royal Neighbors Lease the Old K. of P. Hall. AND HAVE MOVED To New Home—The American Yeomen Have Leased the Woodmen Hall. The Modern Woodmen and its auxiliary, the Royal Neighbors, have leased the old Knights of Pythias hall over the Holthouse drug store and Wednesday night moved to their new quarters. Since the organization of these two orders they have occupied the Meibers hall, which in turn, was sub-leased by them also to others. Desiring to have a room strictly their own, the Woodmen and Neighbors decided to lease the old K. of P. hall and the moving thereto was speedily accomplished Wednesday evening. The moving of the Woodmen goat occasioned no little difficulty, but it was finally boxed and with Cliffton Haughton at the lead, was gotten safely over. The new hall is comfortably and conveniently arranged and will be a most admirable place for the orders to begin a new year s life. The I Meibers’ hall has been leased by the American Yeomen, who have been oc- , cupying it with the other two orders for Some time. —o —— ' - EAST BUFFALO. East Buffalo, N.

At that time their Christmas entertainment will be given. Already a large tree has been put in place and the committee on decorations will begin its work this evening, continuing through tomorrow. The same spirit of earnestness that has brought this Sunday school up from an attendance of twenty-two last spring to an attendance of seventy-two last Sunday, is bound to make a success of this entertainment. Charles H. Gabriel’s “That Wonderful Night,’’ will certainly be enjoyed by every one who may be present. The church doors will open at 7 o’clock and the entertainment will begin promptly at 8. Every member of the school, including the cradle roll and home department members, should be present, if possible. Parents are urged to bring cradle roll babies to enjoy the fun and receive their treat.

Has cold storage houses, whoch are filled with the best meats, vegetables, creamery butter, and all kinds of eat- ' ables that can be procured in the states. | Has waged a war on all kinds of diseases until the once-dreaded yellow fever is entirely stamped out and the death rate Is lower here today than

in many cities in the U. S. A. And above all “The Grand Old Rag" * floats on the breeze of the country that Alonzo de Ojeda discovered in ; 1499. Most people have entirely the wrong opinion of the isthmus so far as climate and health conditions are concerned at the present time. The time was when the canal zone was considered a veritable pest hole, but all these improvements, combined with what is now being done, have i eliminated disease to such an extent that modem medical skill has con- : quered. There are two seasons on the IsthI mus, known as the wet and dry. The dry season begins about the first of January and last until May or June, i and then the rainy season begins and ■ it rains a little more each month until In November or December, when the i wet season is at its worst, and at times it will rain several times in one j day and the sun will shine as often, , although there is many days during - the wet season that no rain falls. s It is said that at times there has been from 12 to 14 inches of rainfall - in twenty-four hours, but statistics r show that the annual rainfall is much 5 less than in former years. i The nights are cool the year round

and there is always a cool breeze I throughout the day, and one not doing i manual labor does not notice the heat any more here than in the states during the summer months. The sun rises about 6:30 a. m. and sets about 6:30 p. m, and after sunset there is no lingering twilight, for darkness comes very quickly and ’tis much the same in the morning. You may awake and it will be total darkI ness, and in a very few minutes the sun will appear, seemingly amidst the darkness of night and it is day before you realize it. In a treaty with the Panama government the United States has peri petual rights over a strip of territory ten miles wide and extending from ■ the city limits of Colon to the city I limits of Panama. This territory is known as the canal zone and has a > government of its own under the jur- : isdiction of the United States. > To carry out this monstrous under- , taking a force of nearly 44,000 em- ■ ployees is engaged, about 5,000 of whom are Americans. i When one takes into consideration I the fact that all the material used in i the construction of the canal, the i buildings along the canal, the food this army of employees consumes, I and the clothing they wear, and in I

■MWMnWBMMnaHgaWrwaMMMBMIMMMM** •> fact almost everything used in the zone, must be transported across the high seas, a distance of from one to three thousand miles, you may begin to realize the enormity of the undertaking, but magnificent will be the spectacle of seeing the white squadron, or the merchant marine ride majestically through these mountains, crossing from ocean to ocean. Electric lights will be provided to illuminate the canal for night service while at either extremity will be naval and military posts to safeguard national rights. It is estimated that the canal will be opened for service January 1, which will no doubt be accompanied with imposing ceremonies. BUCKWHEAT ... FLOUR... For Sale Inquire of John Hessler, R.
