as was demonstrated at Indianapolis last year when the lodge there distributed more than 2,500 baskets to the needy ones. This feature was also adopted by the Hoopeston lodge, which gave out nearly 100 baskets. It is the purpose of the local lodge to do the same here, and they request anyone knowing of worthy persons in need to hand their names in to the lodge officers. The local lodge is planning on having some entertaining affairs this winter, the first to be an "Old Fiddlers’ ” contest on November 30. Prizes will be awarded in this contest and all participants are requested- to hand their name to Charles Pefley as soon as possible. It is also being planned to hold a checker and billiard tournament of state-wide interest. Following the degree work L. A. Harmon was elected keeper of parchment by the unanimous vote of the lodge.

ADMISSION DAY' OBSERVANCE

In Indiana on December 11 Will Be a State Holiday, Indiana has this year seen a great outburst of state.loyalty and I patriotic enthusiasm occasioned by the observance of its one hundredth anniversary. Results of great significance to the citizenship of the state have been attained and the Indiana Historical commission looks with much satisfaction, therefore, upon the work which has been accomplished under its auspices. To all those who have heartiiy co-op-erated toward this success, the commission feels warmly grateful. While it is felt that the substantial work laid out for the year has been largely performed, the commission calls general attention to the fact that Admission Day, December 11, should be widely observed over the state, in accordance with Governor Ralston’s proclamation making' it a public holiday. It is therefore requested that appropriate Admission Day exercises be held throughout Indiana. These need not he elaborate at all, especially in those counties which have

had adequate centennial celebrations. But In all counties it would certainly be fitting to hold simple, dignified services in commemoration of the formal admission of our commonwealth into the Union. Such should naturally be arranged by the county chairmen, especially when held as county observonces. In addition to this, it is suggested that the schools hold exercises. In some cases it may be advantageous to combine that of the school with that of the community as a whole. As a tentative program for the schools the commission has prepared an outline which may be foprid in the Teachers’ Manual of uniform course of study, page 198, and Teachers’ Institute outline for 1916-17, pages 49-50, issued by the state board of education. Patriotic and civic organizations and clubs are likewise encouraged to observe the day especially where only initiative is not taken. For such, the afore-men-tioned outlined program may offer some helpful ideas. The commission has this general recommendation to offer—that these Admission Day exercises be community, home product, affairs, as regards those participating. Whether it be in the speeches or music or other contributions, may it be a home tribute by home people. Finally it is recommended that on December 11, the Stars and Stripes be displayed, not only by public and business houses but by Hoosier homes, throughout Indiana.

HEADS BIG MINING COMPANY

(Continued from page one)

the writer of his discovery of gold near the Roosevelt dam in Arizona and stated that he thought it was a mighty good prospect. Since returning to MiaYhi, Arizona, Ms. Baker has been engaged in developing his claims and a company has been recently organized to further extend the devolpment. The Record says editorially of the new company: The announcement of pending development activities on a large' scale in the Roosevelt gold district thrilled the Globe-Miami district yesterday. The man behind the news is Lawrence W. Baker, a wealthy Arizona pioneer prospector, who has been prospecting in the BuckliThm-Christmas district below ' Roosevelt dam for several years.l Baker left for the “Roosevelt Gold” ■ property immediately following announcement that he had deeded his property, the Pro Patria claims, to I the Apache Trail Consolidated . Mines company, a corporation re-I cently organized by himself. The gold claims deeded consist ' of the Pro Patria group of six claims, on which Baker has spent thousands of dollars in prospecting and development work during the years he has been working in the district. The picturesque “Old Tinier” has made a financial success in locating and selling a number of copper claims, but for himself he has persisted in his for gold. The Pro Patria group is located in one of the oldest known gold districts in the state. An old Mexican arrastra on the bank of the. Salt river, near the property, show- j ling where Mexicans used that I primitive method of extracting gold from the rock in the early days, lis proof that the gold is there. I There are also the ruins of an . old mill near the place. Mr. Baker first located the claims several years ago, in company with John Ferryman, who had prospected for gold in Australia, South Africa and South America. Later he purchased Fertyman’s interest in the group and spent several thousand dollars in prospect and preparatory work. To reach the property Mr. Baker has a boat on the Salt river, below the dam, for the transportation of ' supplies across the river. He now I plans to build a suspension bridge across the stream. He has purchased several other claims adjoining the Pro Patria group and with a tunnel driven from the canyon wall at the southern’ of the Pro Patria No. 2 he exflfc: 1 to crosscut at a depth of 250 to 300 feet a number of ledges that outcrop on the hill,above. Mr. Baker, who spends a considerable portion of his time in Miami and Globe, is one of the picturesque old gold prospectors of the West and continues the old life as a matter of choice, not necessity, as he is said to be worth about $250,000, among other things owning valuable farms back in the middle West.

Friends of the old miner, who have not indulged in stock investments heretofore, ’are buying in the Baker company because they say that the two facts essential to success in mining are certain with him. They know he would not spend his own thousands in a doubtful proposition and they know he is not selling or promoting stock for a living. Every cent, Baker promises, will go into the development of a mine in his "hill of gold.” Those who bought during the rush yesterday following the first announcement Included Jor the most part old time prospectors who wish to try their luck with their friend, “Old Man Baker.’’

STANDING OF THE HOOSE AND SENATE DURING NEXT CONGRESS

.Situation Unparalleled In American History as Independents May Decide Presiding Officer of House,

THE presidential contest of 1916 will go down as one of the closest and most bitterly fought battles of ballots in the history of the United States. Not alone was President Wilson re-elected bv a very small margin, but the election once more proved the truth of the popular assertion that “every vote counts.” How close the popular vote was in many states may best be judged by recalling that New Hampshire, at first placed in the Republican column, was latter claimed to be in the Democratic column and that the Democrats asserted they had won in that state by less than 200 votes. New Hampshire again returned to the Republican column by a small margin and still later was called doubtful. The Congress Situation. It is asserted that President Wilson will have trouble in dealing with the Sixty-fifth congress. The returns indicate that, while his party will control tho senate by a majority of twelve, it may not control the house. There are 435 seats, and it will take 218 to control that body. The Democrats appear to have elected 215 and the Republicans 211. Five seats are in doubt, and there Is one Socialist, one Independent, one Progressive and one Protectionist. The Democrats on the face of the returns have a plurality and can elect a speaker unless the representatives of the minor parties combine with the Republicans. A fight for the speakership between the two parties may take place. It will be the first time since before the civil war. In tho upper branch Republicans gained one senator each in New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Ohio and two in Indiana, where Thomas Taggart, the Democratic leader of the state, went down to defeat. Notable among the senators elect are Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota, who prosecuted the Standard Oil company, and Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania, who was secretary of state under Taft.
