WHAT OF ELKDOM?
Klkdom has many beautiful fea
tures many splendid virtues but the
one that will longest endure that
makes the strongest human appeal
is ILs motto: "The faults of our
brothers we write .upon the sand
their virtues on the tablets of love
and memory." And to make the
motto broader Klkdom answers the
question of who is my brother? by
taking In the world. The Klks Is a
charitable organization. It la en
gaged In the work every day of the
year Its charities are not confined to
the membership because as a rul
there are few calls for charity within
the order. Their hearts are big
enough and their arms are long
enouth to Include all society. It Is
the lodge that does not put on dif
ferent glasses through which to look
upon the poor.
As the Christ taught the lesson of
love and mercy In the parable of the
flood Samaritan so Klkdom teaches
love and charity In Its emblems and
Its lessons are on as high a plane
as Masonry whose virtues sustain
it through all the cycles of Christian
ity.
Klkdom has been looked upon as
an order of good fellows as the
world accepts the meaning of good
fellows. It is looked upon as b ing
an order designed for pleasure with-
out assuming the duties of life. They
have been misjudged. The Klk does
love life. Hut one of the greatest
virtues Is gratitude for life. To know-
that one has life to know that by
contact with other lives by deeds of
love and charity and to know always
that there are higher pianos of life
Just ahead and that those exalted
planes are to he reached by forgetting
the faults and by remembering the
virtues these are the great truths
that Inspire love for life and Klkdom
has learned the lesson of developing
a love for life.
Those whom we dislike are those
whom we do not know. Those who
dislike the Klks are those who do
not know them. Their charitable work
Is done in a manner that the right
hnnd does not know what the left
doeth. The virtues of life are ex-
alted without the sounding of the
bugle.
The minister the artist the edu-
cator the professional man the busi-
ness man meet in the Klks lodge
upon a common plnne of brother-
hood founded upon the principle of
gratitude for lite based upon pro-
motion of virtue by accepting the
common brotherhood of man built
upon a foundation of honor to God
by deeds of charity and Wending
these great truths of life to the
building of a citizenship in harmony
with them.
Klkdom means more than laughter.
Klkdom is based upon principle as
unchanging as truth and those who
have held difT.'rcnt opinions need to
change those opinions instead of the
Klks changing their principles.

DISARMAMENT.
Just as we approach the eve of Christ-
mas at a time when we should herald
"Peace on Earth Good Will toward
Men.' When we are confronted with
the horrors of the great Kuropean war.
We are called on to measure our
strength and prepare for the fray.
The Ardmore Chamber of Com
merce is in receipt of a letter of No-
vember 25 1914 from Hon. Augustus
P. Gardner of Massachusetts enclos
ing copy of his speech and resolution
(H. J. 32) providing for a national
security commislon to investigate into
the question of the preparedness of
the United States for war. Introduced
In the house of representatives Oct 15
1914.
He asks that our chamber of com
nierce prepare suitable resolutions di
rected to the senators of our state and
the congressmen from our district
urging tliem lo support the Gardner
resolution.
I presume this request has been
made of all commercial organizations
throughout the United States. In giv-
ing our answer let us count the cost.
For many years the nations have
been vleing with each other in build-
ing instruments of murder and de
struction.
It Is true our nation has not kept
pace with some others in naval equip-
ment and other preparations for war.
Neither are we engaged In the great
onflict of the nations.
"He that lives by the sword
shall perish by the sword."
Only a few mouths ago the Utopian
idea to abolish throughout the world
the manufacture of weapons for
private gain seemed ridiculous but is
now regarded as a sober possibility.
It Is obvious that private profit in
the manufacture of these Instruments
of death should forever be at an end.
That is the real enemy. At the very
core of tills world's disaster lies Krupp-
lsm agitation preparation. Heboid the
result. So long has it been that to
prepare for war was the way to keep
the peace. The war haa come. Prepa-
ration has exploded and all Kurope Is
In bloodshed.
The United States of America is now
more than ever an anti-militarist na
tion and holds In its hand the power
to sanction or prevent this most ur-
gent ueed of mankind.
The first step looking toward uni
versal peace is the cessation of the
manufacture and sale for profit of all
armament both in America and else
where.
Kvery class of firearm and every
kind of explosive should be made in
government work shops and sold by
the government. There should be a
record of each gun and none should be
permitted to go untraceable.
Anything you prepare for you will
get . Men who "tote" pistols find a
place to use them.
The nation that prepares for war
finds an excuse for fighting.
If two countries can make an agree-
ment as the United States and Kng-
land did soon after the war of 1S12
and reduce their armament to a mere
police protection on the Great Lakes
and this agreement holds good for a
hundred years why cannot all the na-
tions of the earth do likewise? Why
should nations be more savage than
individuals?
War lays waste green fields and
stills the hands of industry pillages
the land of its resources and gives
nothing in return. War sets neighbor
against neighbor in deadly combat and
incites the brother to slay his brother.
It respects neither innocence old age
or virtue. "War Is Hell."

comprises about the total of the in
formation received.
The Germans claim they are pursu
ing the Russians to the south and
southeast of Lodz. Several American
correspondents were with the Russian
army when the battle broke but noth
Ing has been heard from them for
several days. Evidently they are under
the hand of a strict censorship.
Hritlsh military experts insist that
three-quarters of the best material of
the German army has been held in the
western theater of the war throughout
the campaign and that the troops op
posed to the Russians consist princi
pally of second-Hue organizations.
The French official report last night
announces the Germans have made a
violent attack upon the allies at Saint
Kloy south of Ypres which was re
pulsed. This may mean a renewal of
the German attempt to batter through
the allied lines which the correspon-
dents predicted from the movements
of the Germans in Helgium. Elsewhere
in the west there. have been only local
engagements.
The Austrian and Servian reports
continue to claim successes from their
respective sides. Servla reports a vic-
tory on the northeast front with near-
ly 2000 prisoners. Vienna says the
Austrians advance south of Belgrade is
progressing.
Apart from the battlefields the of-
ficially announced illness of the Ger-
man emperor in Herlin from bronchial
catarrh with fever is the most Inter-
esting news of the day. The emperor's
prolonged activity and the recent re-
ports of his appearance at the front
have caused the public to watch with
particular interest developments re-
garding his health.
FALL BREAKING.
Most every farmer knows thai bet-
ter crops are made on land that has
been plowed deep and well pulver-
ized early in the full or winter but
many do not realize the importance
of this preparation and do not put
themselves to any trouble to get the
plowing done. The latter Is the
class of farmers I am particularly
addressing.
It has been found by tests on ex-
periment farms of most of the states
in the union as well as by hundreds
of farmers that fall breaking of land
increases the yield of every crop that
the farmer grows. In some Instances
the yield has been twice as much as
land prepared in the spring. There
are so many good reasons to offer
for this that it would make this ar-
ticle entirely too long to enumerate
them. Hence I will only say that
bacterial life is not active in soil that
is packed. It must be plowed up and
pulverized giving the nir sunshine
and rain a chance to penetrate and
liven up the bacteria so that it will
multiply getting the plant food In
condition to be released readily when
the crop Is planted in the spring.
The rain having penetrated the soil
during the winter will leave more
water stored for use later on while
the surface will be In better condition
for working early in the spring.
You will be more sure to get a per-
fect stand as the dead grass and
other vegetation will have had time
to rot and become humus thus in-
creasing the capacity to store .up
moisture for use in the summer.
Many insects that damage the crops
will be destroyed by early breaking.
Try breaking at least a part of your
land before Christmas and note the
pood effect upon your crop next year.
Kreak your land two or three inches
deeper than you have been in the
habit of doing. R. P. ELROD
