to town a flock of the fatted lambs
for shipment to the market in Om

Omaha market and shipped to this
city and were then driven to the
farm where they have been feeding
for several weeks and now return to
market in the best of shape and will
furnish very savory mutton for the
market and which will make a real
treat to the lovers of this meat.
Charles W'arga was in the city to

From Thursday's Taiiv
Last evening at Masonic temple,
Cas.i Chapter. Onler of DeMolay,
held its ritualistic services for tne
members of the order who have
reached 'the flge oi" 21 years during
the past year and are no louger mem
bers of the order. Sixteen of the
membership. 11 cf whom are (barter
members of the otannter, receivt-d the
last degree which severs their con
nection with the chapter in active
work. The members receiving the
degree were: Harley Becker, Frank
Lister, Buford Goodwin. Edgar Pet

was exemplified by the three coun
cilors, Jamos Warren. William
Matschullat and Jack McCarty.
Henceforth the younrr men wil! no
longer be known a DeMoiays bu' in
order that the ties "of the past years'
associations may not be severed rl
DeMolay club is being organized
which will admit to its membership
all present and past members of the
order.
Officers for the ensuing term were
elected, being: Master councilor,
William Matschullat: senior council
or. Jack McCarty; junior councilor,
Elmer Johnson.
The chapter also received the res
ignation of Ralnh J. Haynie as ad
vif.or to the local chapter. Mr. ITa:
nie's duties a. advisor to district No.
2 of the DeMolay in this state have
become so heavy as to prevent him
from giving the time necessary to
the proper supervision of the local
chapter. During the Dast three years
in which he has acted as advisor the
chapter has grown from fifty to over
200 and in the ritualistic work has
been second to none in the state. The
boys, to whom he has been a friend
and a counselor at all times, greatly
regret to loe him as th1 '"rV.d" of
their lodge, but feel that in Raymond
C. Cook, who has been named ad
visor, p. worthy successor has been
found. Mr. Cook was a charter mem
ber of Cass chapter and its second
master councilor ?nd is admirably
fitted for his nw position.
