The evening meeting of the Red

called to order by the district
sachem, after a few preliminary
remarks by B. A. Simpson. The

The address by the Hon. D. M.
Weatherly, of Franklinville,
a well known educator was a fine
effort, the subject being on the
Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of Man. He gave
a very interesting talk and told
many,interesting facts about the
secret order, the members of
which he was addressing. The
order was organized in 1765, prior
to the Declaration of Independ
ence. George Washingtori was
the father of the order, one of
the very first members. He
stated that the order has 6,000
members in this state and 550,-
000 in the United States.
Following the address by Mr.
Weatherly, were a number of
talks by members of the Enoe
tribe and the visiting delegates.

That which has been expected
for sometime is being realized,
when some genius for making
trouble would invent solidified
spirits. It is now declared that
the beer tablet has come and its
sale is duly advertised especially
in prohibition territory. All that
the wishful lusher has to do ac
cording to the claims of the in
ventor is to buy him a box of
pills and proceed to become his
own brewery. The only ques
tion is, will the government allow
the sale of these tablets by mail
without d tax? It looks but
reasonable that the same law
which governs the beer should
also govern the tablet. Howev
er this may be the invention has
made it possible for the indivi
dual to carry his beer bottle in
his vest pocket in a pill box.

Large Crowd Expected at Baltimore
In an editorial on the Demo
cratic National Convention the
Baltimore American has the fol
lowing to say:
And Baltimore is going to take
care of the convention crowd, no
matter how multitudinous it may
be. Tlie expectation is that
there wiU be ftlly 100,000 visitors
during convention week and some
of the estimates run much high
er, to 150,000, or possibly even
to 200,000. More than one mem
ber of the Democratic National
Committe has informally ex
pressed the opinion that more
people outside the state will ga
ther at the Baltimore convention
than ever attended any previous
political convention. The main
retson for this belief rests, of
course, upon the fact that Demo->
crats all over the country have it
in their heads that the candidate
named at Baltimore is going to
be the next President of the
United States. About this they
may very likely be mistsken, but
the promise certainly has enough
dazzle about it to bring the An
drew Jacksonites and the Thomas
Jeffersonites trooping here from
the four corners and the center.
Up from the South they are
coming at least forty thousand
strong, and from across the Roc
ky Slopes, from along the North
ern wheat zone, from the corn
and pork vallegs pf the Central
Westj from the pumpkin fields
and spindle mills of New_ Eng
land, the mighty Democratic host
will soon be making the welkin
ring with "Oh, put us off at Bal
timore." The crop of campaign
songs-the 1912 crop—will, there
is reason to expect, be fully up
to the highest past record and
may break the record. W’^e have
already grown familiar with that
entrancing symphony—the houn’
dawg song—but there will be
other charming lyrics, a score of
them probably. No bunch of
boomers would think of attend
ing a Democratic convention
without bringing along a soul-in-
spiring ragtime song. Oh, yes,
there will be music in the air
when the Baltimore convention
gets tuned up.
A question which is just now
worrying a good many cut a
large figure in national politics
is: W'ill Congress wind up and
get away before the first of the
big national convention comes
along? It is a question that
seems as yet to be involved in
doubt. A tentative prop(»ition
that is afloat in congressional
halls and corridors is that ad
journment of both branches be
brought about on June 15. But
the proposition has rot an un
obstructed way. Before the end
of this week, however, the indi
cations as to getting away or
keeping right on at it, will
more clearly defined.
ll/loTtng Picture* Now In Catholic
Cimrdies
Rf.me, May 26-Moving picture
shows on religion may now be
given in Roman Catholic churches
in America. The Vatican^ has
tust given its consent to this dis-
jinct innovation at the request of
several bi&hops. The conditions
under which the pictures may be
shown are that the sacred host
be removed from the Church
during the performance, and
that the women be separated
from the men. It is also order
ed that the Church be sufficiently
lighted. Magic lantern shows
may also be given under these
conditions.

The mosquito season of the

Add to this from one to two

little pests will bite you while
thousands of them will worry
you by buzzing around when you
should be asleep. One of these
little pests with one bite may in
