Blair Odd Fellow Lodge Boasts
Four 50-Year Veteran Members
Total of Tlieir Years in Order
Is 217—Oldest Is J. W.
Newell, 87, Pioneer
of 1861.
When D. Hartson, 78, 1320 1-2 Capi
tol avenue, Omaha, was presented
with a 50 years' veteran Jewel of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows,
recently, as a reward for 50 years of
continuous service as a member of
that organization. & press account de
scribed him as ths only man in the
state who has belonged to one lodge
oif the order over 50 years. There
upon lodge No. 14 st Blair, Neb.,
rises in protest.
On its roster the names of four
men have appeared for a total of 217
yeara. They are Charlea A. Connors,
Bt. Louis, Mo,, a member for 55
years; L. E. Vorhles, Lincoln, Neb.,
also a member of 55 years' standing;
J. F. Justice, Ashland, Neb., mem
ber for 52 years, and J. W. Newell,
sr., 55 years.
Newell celebrated his 87th birthday
July 5 and la the oldest of the quar
tet. Coming to Omaha in 1857, he
Joined the Omaha lodge, No. 2, I. O.
O. F.( December 19, 1862. He re
tained his membership here until
1869, when he transferred It to Blair,
becoming a charter member of the
lodge at that place.
Family All Belong.
Newell ie the head ef a family
"nest" of Odd Fellows. His son, J.
W. Newell, Jr., and son-in-law, John
McKay, Blair, are wearing 25-year
veteran Jewels presented them sev
eral years ago. His eldest son, Os
car, killed In an auto accident, was a
member, and his wife, the late Mrs.
Newell, and daughter, Mrs. McKay,
are charter members of Welcome He
bekah lodge instituted at Blair in the
middle '80s.
After wearing his 25-yesr Jewel for
a quarter of a century, Newell was
presented with a 50-year Jewel by his
lodge February, 1919. Recently the
sovereign grand lodge changed the
numerals to "60," covering hig 62
years of membership In both Omaha
and Blair lodges.
This gold medal consists of a
sphere, representing the globe, on
which Is engraved the word "Univer
sal" with the three links clssped be
EZMSO
low. The numerals "BO" are sus
pended from the clasp above and are
set with 12 diamonds each.
Settled in 1861.
A. Hunt, father of Charles Hunt,
Omaha painter, waa noble grand of
the Omaha lodge when Newell Joined
it. In 1859 he and others started for
Pikes Peak. They got as far as Polk
county, Nebraska, when travelers
coming back reported "nothing much
doing out there." So Newell and his
companions settled down for several
years, becoming the pioneer settlers
of Polk county, and returning to
Omaha in 1S61.
Newell bought the lease on the eite
of the Paxton hotel and started a
cracker factory, tha first in Omaha.
He was forced to run it day and
night to supply the demand. He waa
offered the lot for $800, the adjoining
one having sold for $300. He was a
member of the Omaha pioneer fire
company, a bucket brigade.
John Bross, the young man whom
Newell hired in Omaha to cook his
crackers in ’62, is Newell's neighbor
in Blair. He is 82 years old.

Jams and Jellies Cost Less
and Taste Better When Made
by the New Certo Method
Old Method
2qts.Fruit _50^
2 lbs. Sugar_20 ff
: Makes 3 lbs Jam/or 70^
or more than
’ 23P&pound.
Every housewife know* that the ohl
''pound for pound" mixture of fruit
nnd sugar must be boiled down to
make It ''Jell." They realise too that,
this long boiling evaporates a lot of
! the delicious fruit Juice. For In
stance, as shown abovs, with 2 lbs.
(or quarts) of fruit and 2 lbs. of
sugar the result will only be S lbs.
of Jam. The other pound Is lost or
evaporated by long-bolllng.
With the Certo method of Jam and
Jelly making all this i* changed, be
cause the mixture la boiled only one
minute. Certo supplies the necessary
fruit pectin—that natural Jelly mak
ing substance found In some fruits,
In varying amount* and without
which no one could ever make Jatn
or Jelly—now separated from fruit,
refined and bottled. Boiling only
one minute with Certo eliminates
evaporation so that with 2 lbs. of fruit
and * lbs. of sugir, you now muke 6
lbs. of Jam—over a half more than
Is made by the old method with the
same amount of fruit. Mors sugar Is
used In the Certo method only be
cause It makes so much more Jam
than the old method. The amount
of sugar In each glass of Jam Is the
same In both methods. The extra
sugar la simply used to make Jam or
Jelly from the Juice and flavor that
used to be boiled away.
Certo'* one minute boiling period
slso prevent* the flavor snd color of
your fruit from boiling away. Thai's
why Certo Jams and lollies are rail
ed "The World's N'ew Standard of
Quality."
Besides, with Certo hours of your
tlms over a hot stove are eliminated
and you never have a failure. And
Certo Is a pure fruit product—no
gelatine or preservative In It.
■Just try one batch of fruit with
Certo end you'll never return to the
old method of Jam and Jelly making
with all It* hard work, worry and
extra expense. Get some pluina and a
bottle of Certo with recipe book from
your grocer and make some plum
Jam. No home ever has too much of
