OLD BOYHOOD FARM HOME Henry Stander, prominent farmer west of Louisville, recently purchas ed the old farm home south of town, where he was reared and where he spent all his boyhood days. The prop erty was originally the home of his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stander, and has belonged to their estate during the years since their demise. Now that the estate was to be settled and for sentimental reas ons, the heirs were reluctant to see the farm go into the hands of strang ers, and all feel great satisfaction that this brother purchased it. It is occupied by Mr. and Mrs Lawrence Meisinger, who will not farm the place next year and Mr, Stander has not made public his in tentions in regard to its occupancy next year. Louisville Courier.

In the laying of corner stones as well as in other departments of Masonry, many of the illustrations may appear unimportant to one not acquainted with these historical anc ient rites, but to the Mason they are useful and interesing. The trowel used by the Grand Mas ter in placing the corner stone has a moral use, likewise the square, level and plumb by means of which the Grand Master was Informed yiat the workmen had done their duty. The scattering of corn is an em blem of plenty, wine of joy and glad ness, and oil an emblem of peace. The corner stone having been found true and trusty proclamation was duly made from the East, West, North and South accompanied by blasts from the bugle that the stone was duly set. The Grand Orator of the day de livered a pleasing and appropriate address. The flower eirls. who were under the euidance of Ella Atchison, were each the daughter of a Master Ma- son and daintily performed their task of placing wreaths on the stone, Thus again the Masonic Fraternity of Elmwood, the territory of which embraces Eagle, Alvo, Murdock and Wabash, are nearing their aspira- tions of a home in which they can feel is their own. May the structure now being built be preserved to the latest ages, a monument to the energy and liberal- lty of its founders.
