However, this is a good time of the year for every 1 community to be on the look out for typhoid germs and for causes of them ( and this year seems to be an unusual < ly bad one for this dreadful disease. * perhaps because of the great number « of mosquitoes with which certain lo lalities are infested.

Loc&l men and women who believe chautauquas a good thing have 1 signed a $1,500 guarantee to assure the highest class of entertainment and your support is deserved 'by these folks who have for a number of years b»en carrying the burden of responsi tollfy.

a half hour at the Pythian meeting here about the old fashioned home and the new fashioned women, urged a return to sane methods and manners and a revival in those things taught by the Knight of Pythias—the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. His address waa shortened because of a heavy rain which made talking difficult and lie was hurried away in an automobile without much opportunity for political conferences. Mr- Watson has been a member of the lodge thirty nine years and way back in 1594 served as state grand chancellor. Heavy hanging clouds fpom early morn until late afternoon, then a lively shower and more clouds, failed to dampen the ardor of the Knights of Pythias gathered hAe to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the lodge. The meeting was a big success but the weather no doubt lessened the crowd by half. The program was excellent and the lodge is to be commended upon their efforts. We arc sure the day was thoroughly enjoyed and will be long remembered. Mr. Erwin, the state commander of the order .presided and did his part in a spendid way as did all who were on the program. A large crowd witnessed the rendition of Damon and Pythias by ia local cast last evening and are expressing appreciation of the talent displayfeij. The locaj older has achieved much and with a healthy treasury. t' a ree hundred members, a convenient and modern home, are all set for another half century of worth while cooperation. *

By tlic troubles you have met By the greifs which you have borne By the heartache and regret. And the bleeding from the thorn On the cruel forge of strife You shall shape a lovlier life. Souls arc made by hammer blows And the batterings of fate. He who only pleasure knows Never can be truly great; All our faith and all our pride Must be very often tried.
