Lodge Nigh? draws attention to some activity o other in connection with the varicu Lodges. It may be the election of new officers, or the visit of an official of high rank in the Order. In ecithe: case we are apt to read the paragraph j & without giving much attention to the matter. But when one thinks it over, is it not the case that the benefits of such organizations are tremendous fo good? How many young people have their minds given a serious. turn through the work and associations of some Lodge, that might otherwise be diverted to less desirable pursuit? Although the absence of a husband from his home for an occasional even- ing at the Lodge has furnished mat- erial for a deluge of cheap wit, how many wives have had to mourn be- cause their men have remained with- out this pleasant and profitable diver- sion! How true is it that membership in instru- ment for civilization, the reach of its influence deeper than the seas its teaching greater than the thunder of guns, more potent than the tramp of armies. Wio said 'Local Paper? Some are born to fame, some achieve fame, and others have fame thrust upon them. The "Cbserver" report of a small meeting held here to discuss the pulpwood embargo, containing one or two well-known Dryden names, has been reprinted in every important magazine and journal in the United States and Canada interested - in the pulp and paper industry.

Of course it will take time, but it seems the wind comes from the right direction. : { A very sad accident happened at a "I neighbour town just a few days before Christmas: Little Joe, our distinguished boot- legger and moonshiner, had everything in line to celebrate Xmas in a worthy way, until some good friend of Joe's gave him the wink that certain officers were very much interested in his movements. Now little: Joe is really not big, but he gathered his full barrel and opened the cork and--Ilet 'er go. Just let it go in the bush !! Result: We had a real dry Christmas celebration. Bushmen are very joyful because the snow they have been hollering so long for arrived at last, and work is progressing now more rapidly. Mr and Mrs Yew arrived from thie old country and hope to make their homes at Waldhof, where they are staying now with Mrs Sehroden, their daughter. Mr E. Bayer and his brother left for Upsaler to engage in bush work for the rest of the winter. % The Moeser brothers left for Sioux Lookout. They took over a large con- tract hauling ties . Considering the prize offered, Fred and Bill should do well this winter.
