peculiar to the craft, Monday evening, March 25. The interesting event was
made the occasion for a pleasant gathering of members of the, fraternity

Following the examination of the lodge records, while working under

felicitious in their remarks and flattering compliments were paid the officers
and members of the newly created lodge. Buffet refreshments were provided
and in the enjoyment of which and cigars tiem was pleasantly whiled aawy
awaiting interurban cars The refreshments were in charge of A. G. McFeely
the popular caterer, and were as abundant as xcellent, and to which am-
ple justice was done. The occasion was every way a gratifying success,
and Britton is to be congratulated upon having added to her other fraternal
organizations and societies a Masonic lodge.
Special meetings of the lodge are announced for Thursday and Monday
evenings when degrees will be conferred.

BLUE COATS 16:
PUTNAM HEIGHTS, 4.
Sunday was not a very good day to
play ball, as it began to rain in the
second inning and the ground got
slick and paused bad base-running.
The mud beat S. C. out of another?
Knapp hit a stinging single just in-
side of the third base line with F.
Tace on third base, and Knapp slip-
ped down at the plate and was
thrown out at first base. Good hitting
by s C. featured the game. Knapp
and F. Taffe connected three times
safely. Knapp had their goat, strik-
ing out 10 batters in 6 innings. If
the game had gone the full nine in-
nings he might have beat his twenty-
two strike-out record at Putnam City
with Yukon last season.
The Spring Creek (Blue Coats) will
return a game with Putnam Heights

"I AM VERY

MY INVESTMENT"
Mr. Louis Schlesinger is the proprietor
of a prosperous men's furnishing store
in San Diego, California. The quotation
above is what he thinks of electric ad-
vertising.
I purchased a double-faced electric sign
about a year ago,' writes this merchant.
J wish to say that 1 have never spent a
sum of money for advertising which has
lj££.uKht mf" the business this sign has.
"It not only serves as a sign, and a
source of illumination of the entire front of
my store at night, but it is a clear and
readable sign by day.
"I am very much pleased with my in-
vestment and. the publicity I have received
through it. I would certainly advise any-
one looking for a live means of advertising
to invest in an electric sign."
