Installation A new conception of the worth and dignity of the Order to which they belong was given to members of the Easter Lily (Rebekah) and Dryden Lodge 1.O.O.F. at their joint meefing: Monday night, when Sister Mrs A. G. Holmes, D.D.P., and Bro. Harry Mair. D.D.G.M,, from Keewatin, officially at- tended to install the officers for their! respective Lodges, These were ac- companied and assisted by Mrs W. Rushton, Mrs Geo. Armstrong, Mrs A. G. Schooley, Bro. A. G. Holmes, all of 1 Keewatin, and Mrs McMeekin, Kenora. To permit of a joint installation at which members of both lodges could be present, a special ceremonial was employed which did not in the least detract from the impressiveness of the occasion although much of the ritualis- tic work was omitted. Following the installation of officers, a warm fraternal and social period enjoyed. Refreshments were served by the Rebekahs, whose 'ad- mirable forethought provided even cigars and chocolates to top off the dainty lunch. The enjoyment was considerably en- hanced when Sister Mrs M'Mcekin, ir accord with general desire, went to the piano, her wonderful technique bein especially pleasing to those who had { 10t previously heard her play. After a few short but inspiring ad- lresces from various officers, an im- nromptu dance was set going for which "he music was furnished by Mr and rs Adair. All agreed that the even- 'ng had been a delightful one, and the 'oint gathering a notable success.

FLAPPERS AND SHRIEKS. Thursday evening one of the mos! omical and hard-fought hockey games vas pulled off on local ice between thc Mappers and Sheiks. The score was 3--2. Although the Sheiks lost, fron 1 spectator's point of view they put up i remarkable exhibition of nose diving, piral shooting, volplaning and sidc anking ever seen on an outdoor rink Infortunately for them, the Sheik: vere put a disadvantage before the same on finding that their trunk o niforms had not arrived from the las' jestination.

The body was surrounded. by the flowers so mueh loved and cared for by his mother. He was one of the five foremen retained by the Spanish Lumber Ce., in charge of a camp near Massey, when he was taken suddenly iit and rushed for medical aid, but died en the way, pleurisy being the eause of death. My Adams was a robust man in the prime of life, the supporter of his aged mother to whom he was an affectionats son, and his passing comes to her as a great blow. The sympathy of the community is extended to the hereaved ones." : Wants Canadian Blueherries-- : Dear Sir:--There has been referred to this office an inquiry from My F. I.

Editor, Dryden Observer j Sir--In your issue of the 11th, there appeared a small note as to the sales and about spending money in tows thereby supporting home trade. would like to say a few words abot that note, I may be a little late, bu 1 was also late in reading the same. Well sir, I agree with that proposition, $0 far as that where possible, wa should support our own town, but I fail' to see why we cannot send our morey wherever we like, if we can get goods (the same quality as in town) chedper. I think all fair-minded people will' agree to that. But what I do not think is at all fair {o our trades people, is that those who have heen carried along through hard times, to send theit ready money out of town, until they have a clear standing. It is ef} to us to save the dollar, tracesmen, as well as the public. I am only a bush- whatker, and it sure keeps me busy with all the sales, to rub along. Yours truly LIVE AND LET LIVE.
