Mr.: R. C. Dunn then welcomed the visiting, Masons, paying especial tribute to Harry W.

The hen , sometimes makes a big fuss about a1 small egg, but keeps right, on, day after day, doing her best at the one thing she shows. .' '' , Keep a diary; begin on the first day of the New Year and follow it up daily.' You will be surprised how many things that are important to. remember you will find stored away. . . "Isn't it strange," remarked a wayback farmer,; as he watch ed an up-to-date neighbor sawing wood with a patent saw, run by a gasoline engine, ''how men will scheme to get out of honest work." , Put everything'down in writing when you lease a farm. Memory can not be relied on. It is. re markable how different men will romember different things. If it is all down in black and white, there can be no mistake. . When it is not convenient to apply heat to frozen pipes. to thaw them, spread a cloth thick ly with unslaked lime, fasten it around the frozen pipe and throw .water on it The heat produced as the lime; slakes is great enough to thaw the ice.

In his annual address, deliver- el in the Masonic Temple: at Raleigh, before the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, Samuel M. Gattis,' Grand Master of Masons, in this State., called attention to the unmarked grave, at Halifax, of .Right Worshipful Joseph Montford, who was the first, last and only Provincial Grand Mas ter of America. He was appoint ed Provincial Grand Master of and" for America, January 14th; 1771, by Henry Somerset, Duke of Beaufort; Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England. Joseph Monlford was a promi nent man in the Province of North Carolina, and a member of Royal White Hart Lodge at Halifax, where his commission a3 rrovincial urand Master was long preserved. .This commis sion is now in possession of the Grand Lodge. In 1771 Joseph Montford organ ized a Grand Lodge which, met sometimes ' at New ' Bern ' and sometimes at Halifax and a num ber of Jodges inthis State and perhaps in other states were chartered by the Grand Lodge over which Mont lord presided. He "died March 20, 1775, and owing to the disturbed condition of affairs during the war for independence he had no successor in oihce. lie was the highest Masonic official, as far as' I am imformed, that ever lived on the continent of America. 'It is a reproach . to our order that he should so long have remained unhonored. Through active efforts of Brother Harry . W. Gowen and other members of Royal White Hart Lodge No. 2 at Halifax, N. C, the Joseph Montford4 Memorial Association has been organized tor the pur pose of raising funds to erect a suitable memorial to this distin guished Mason. I heartily com mend this worthy cause to the consideration of the Grand Lodge of North - Carolina. Roanoke News. ' Government by Veto. A veto, used in connection with public acts, is a euphemism for smotherr squelch.' kill, etc. Owing to the elaborate system of vetoes which has been evolved during a long pariod of standing pat, . our country may well be called the "veto country. " ' If a member of , Congress wishes a bill passed, it may be vetoed by the Speaker. It the Speaker wishes it passed, it may be vetoed by a committee. If the . committee wishes it passed, it may be vetoed by the House. If the House wishesit passed, it may be vetoed by the Senate. If the Senate wishes it passed, it may be 'vetoed by the Presi dent . ' ' If the President wishes it pass ed, it may be vetoed by the Su preme Court If the Supreme Court wishes it passed, it may be ignored . and thus vetoed-by any executive officer into whose hands it may fall.. . If a- bill succeeds in getting through all these safely, it is a good bet that it is something the people do not want Life. Dr. Black Coming.
