A Time To Be Happy
If ever there '8 a time to be happy and to make every
body else happy, it's Christmas time. A time of unselfish-,
ness, charity, love, hope, peace and good will. A time when
mothers are planning the childhood's joys that are to be
sweet memories in days to come. A time I make the happy
still happier, and the sad, less sad. A time to make some
little desolate spot in the world seem brighter. A time to
remember the little children in the hospitals and babies of
the poor. That's what Christmas means. This great store
is well stocked with many sensible, suitable gifts that will
fill in some place on your list and help to make some one
happy. Commence your Christmas buying Monday as there

ing about the bush will not help matters.
We want to realise conditions and then
proceed to meet them. The fact Is It has
been too easy to obtain membership In
this order.
"I make this propossl and If my Influ
ence and authority aa president permits
or enables me to do it, I shall see that
hereafter the requirements are such that
no man can gain membership In the Eagles
who does not actually earn his own living
by genuine work. We don't went the Idlers,
the parasites. " They will not help us, but
they will hurt na. We want-to get rid of
them and keep them out."
He Kevokea Two Charter.
And then he threw a bomb Into the camt
with this utterance:
"Within' the week I have revoked th
charter of a lodge of Eagles In Mtnneapolli
consisting of LOCO members and next weel
I shall revoke the charter of another !odg
In Chicago with 6,000 members. I take thli
notion because of the undesirable charactei
of the memberships. And it shall be my
policy from now on to revoke charters
wherever lodges violate the true principles
of decent fraternallsm. We do not wsnt
members who are not fit for other orders.
We are not a catch-basin for the scum
of society and If people have thought we
were they must have those Impressions cor- '
rected by striking object lesson which will
bring home to them the solemn truth."
Omaha Eagles have not yet ceased to
applaud the address of Mr. Bell. They are
determined to stand with him and see that,
so far as Omaha Is concerned, he will never -have
occasion to think ef revoking -the
charter here. He paid a tribute to the lodge
here and said he only wished there were
more such.
"Don't get the idea that I'hold pessimis
tic Ideas about this order. The majority
of lodges are not bad, but good, but that
don't destroy the fact that we need to do
some missionary work In the matter of
weeding out."
President Bell was entertained at dinner
yesterday at the Commercial club by rep
resentative business men of Omaha who are
determined to land the Eagles' national
ccnventlon for thla city. The order has a
total membership of 300,000 and Omaha
business men realise the significance at
tached to a national gathering of this
else and character.
Mr. Bell paid a tribute to the Industri
ous efforts of J. A. Tuthlll to land the na
tional convention of this order for Omaha
"For the last ten years "Geographical
Tuthlll has been pounding It into us that
Omaha Is the geographical center of this
country and should be given the conven
tion on that account, together with th
fact It Is eminently qualified In other ways
to care for such a convention. So you may
be sure Eagles everywhere have a pretty
good Idea of where Omaha la located."
