One day they offered a free trip for everyone interested and only 85 responded. In Brook the guarantors had a bill of $3.80 each to pay after the company 'departed. Kehtland’ has had several years'of experience and this ds Brook’s first attempt. It may be if anyone can bp induced to take up this guarantee work here, that in a few years we could equal Kenttand’s record. In trying to find a time when people are not busy promoters of local events make a mistake. Give anybody three days vacation now and that party wants to get in a maand 'drivfe 200.‘ Miles *to senhe new place. August is the month of travel, fapjily reunions,, threshing, arid bounty fairs. Put any of these cHkutahquas in June before the people are worn 1 out rind they will draw a crowd. Every circus that' traveled New England, and the coast lost money. It was always done in midsummer. Finally someone solved the question; In the summer New Englanders went to the sea coast for entertainment; it was a custom, besides that was the only time to visit the sea coast. This guy sent his circus there early in the spring. It drew immense crowds. Now they all do it the same way.—-Brook Reporter.

Recent action taken by the supreme domain, Knights of . Pythias of s - America, in recognizing the sterling qualities of the country’s youth and in letting down the bars of admission to young men who have attained the age of eighteen will go far to materialise the ambitions of the members of the order to make it the largest purely fraternal order in the United States if not the world. The proposition to admit young men of eighteen was voted on by every grand domain in America and was’brought about by the insistent demands of the rank and file of tire order that fitting recognition be given to the many hundreds of thousands of the country’s young then who bore arms against. Germany during the world war, it being the almost aunftnimous opinion of Pythians that if a young man of eighteen was old enough to fight for his 'Country he was old enough to be given all the rights and privileges of the order of Knights of Pythias. !
