LODGE IN SESSION for Grand Sovereign Lodge , NEW HAVEN. May iii—The un‘nual session of the grand lodge, ent Order of Odd Fellows, was held in this city today. a large number of delegates from about the state attend— ing. Grand Master Philip Pond of this city, in his annual report covered in detail the year's workpglviug an ac- count ot his.ofiicial acts as grand mas- ter since he took oliice a year ago. He showed that. the membership at the opening of the present year was 18,939 and that the net gain for the year of 11100 was 233. the largest in several years. 011 April I. 1907, the subordin— ate lodges in this jurisdiction had a membership of 19,293. 111 speaking of the. Rebekah Lodges Mr. 1’ol1d said that the. membership III the Rebekah lodges in this state dst not bear the proportion to the lilcnliershlp in the subordinate lodges that it should. Dur- ing the year Grand Master Fund has attended three funerals in his official capacity. No new lodges have been instituted in the state during the year and the grand master states that the energies of the members should be de- voted to building up and strengthening of existing lodges rather titan to the multipilication of their number. Among the recommendations made by the grand master are the following: The levying of a flat tax upon all lodges for the support of the home; the passage of a law imposing a time upon each lodge losing o ritual; and the passage of a resolution requesting all lodges that have not contributed to the home fund at the rate of $4 a member to make provision for such contribution. Grand Secretary Hutchinson report- ed that. the total number of lodges at present in the state is lit. The number of Rebekah lodges Is 50 with a total membership of 13.239. B. 6. Keith, of Norwalk, the grand representative. made a, report of the proceedings of the sovereign grand ,Iodge in Toronto last September and the other report was from the commit toe on correspondtmcc. showing the condition of the order in the various states In the Union. The election of ofilcers is the most important business on the day's pro- gram and another lmimrtant. matter to be discussed is the proposed change In the methods of collecting revenue for the home at Groton. , Grand Master Pond 111 referring to benefit concerns, said: While. it is unlawful for any insun ance or benefit organization to use the name or symbols of the order. there are several companies or associations organized for the purpose of conduct- ing a health. accident and life insur- ance business that advertise to insure or admit to their membership Odd Fel- lows only. As a consequence. In the view of a considerable portion of the public. including many brothers of our order, these associations are. a part of the independent Order of Odd Fel‘ lows and the order suffers for their shortcomings or assumed faults. I have been called upon occasionally to intervene in disputes between organ- izations of this character and their policyholders, and when so called upon lent such moral influence as the other of grand master attached, to the, set- ticiueut of such differences In the in- terest of the aggrieved brother. 'l‘hese thing are no part 111‘ the grand mas- ter's titles. however. and l regard it as unfortunate that the notion gains credence that the order is in any way responsible for organizations of this character. Brothers are to be remind ed that our great fraternity is not en- gaged In the insurance business of any kind whatsoever and is In no wise re- sponsible for on efforts of that char actor, The total funds of the‘order on Jan- uary I last Were 3005.226, a net gain of $24,078 over the previous year. For tliooliehekahs the total funds were $35, 745, a net gain of $2. 395.

Therefore it is important to know what to buy, how and where. This year 1 have decided to make a little chick feed, composed of choice grains and seeds, carefully selected and perfectly granulated and screen- ed. I believe It is better than any bought from out of town (although 1 will buy any brand you may desire) and If you will call I shall be pleased to have you examine and compare. mine with any other.

Kellogg and Charles Sever- ance. to the inter State Commcice. (‘onmilssion concerning the Iianimnn inilroad investigation. has been pub- lished here. It reviews the testimony. and holds that railroad competition has been suppressed in an area equal to one thiid of the United States: that the contracts between the Union Pn- ciflc and Rock Island for the control of the Alton Railway, us well as the contracts between the union R'cjflc and Southern Pacific and the steps tak- en for the control of the Illinois Cen‘ tral and the San Pedro road. are all in violation of the Sherman nnti- trust not. It recommends that. the attorney- :mgenersl institute proceedings to annul these agreements. It also recommends that there s“011161 be new and effective Iowa to piovont inflation of securities and declares that the profits of the great railroads of the far west are be- Ing used to buy stocks and control systems in the east, Instead of bulld~ 1111; more roads for the development of the west. as they should be. WASHINGTON. May 15. —-'I‘he rec- ommendations of Messrs.
