Hill a f ■ L SEES PROSPERITY RAINBOW fi Governor Harding, of the Federal £ Reserve Board, has sent a thrill a through the nation in his report to f, Congress on the general business out- V look. Summed up, he says the United b" States is facing an era of prosperity 81 of longer duration than the country ever has known. While he conserve. („ tively dodges expressing a personal , n< opinion, and says "there are those who th believe*' the Ifginnlng of the revival is not far distant, we cannot escape " the optimistic tenor of the report, jj Governor Harding is too wise to quote ! ai "those who believe" unless he is eon- G vineed that "those who believe" have knowledge and opinion that command ^ serious consideration. ' m Backing up the statements of the O Federal Reserve governor comes the ^ report that the steel mills are busier ® than they have l*en "in a year, a i ^ strong indteatiorrthf the trend of the jg times, and plus this we see that the re first , victory of the farm bloc has a' created a favorable reaction in all " parts of the country. The story of the business merry-go- to round always has been the same — bus- I" iness expansion, excessive production, m wild speculation and the invitable toppling over of the load, long and ar slow liquidation, business depression, ro stagnation, with the public mind fin- , Gi ally stunned and gloom prevailing. ^ Next comes the desire for improve- ? ment, then a recognition of the factj|0, nmii, wen a recugruuon -oi roe l act j

that th» peoeple can be prosperous t whenever they want to be prosperous, because the crux of the matter is work, 1 normal production and a cheerful as- ( pect. Finally we get action, and a . . united effort to hoist the old flag once ] more. l Unless all signs fail the new busi- ' ness revival will be marked by a , greater control on the part of the ( farmer. If he keeps his head and:! does r.ot rush headlong into the field > of speculation Governor Harding's j prediction, gf a long era of prosperity i ( will be fulfilled. Let the farmer take ] his higher place in the order of things M and show him: Mf as a stablizing fac- ' tor worthy of his greater and well- ' deserved recognition. Our guess is j that be will. The farmer has never , failed Vhen called to serviee.

Maris H. Moore. Exra B. Lake and S. Wesley Lake. Total fifteen. At the meeting there were -pren. ■ • M eleven petitions, -bowing there was a very good opening for Ma-miie lodge in our city. "At the cla*- -■? the first year the membership numbered thirty-one having raised- fourteen and received two by affiliation, ic The membership gradually inle crearffHrVntii at the close of the year 1921. the Secretary's report to the ' Grand Secretary showed there were on c the books one hundred and seventvi- three members. During the twenty-five year, just d paat there were raised one hundred - and ninety and received by affiliation - twenty-one. making, k total, including • the fifteen charter members, of two hundred and twenty-six. Of these, dur- • ing the same time, one wa< expelled, - ten were suspended for r.on-payment of due.-. Twenty-four have demitted • and eighteen have gone to that undis- • covered country from whose bourne « no traveller ever returns. I wish to call your attention, at • this time, to a singular' co-incidence in ■ connection with the formation of - Ocean City Lodge. The fifteen charter • member* represented seven (7) lodges, - (7 1 of the fifteen were from one • lodge, Keys&one, No. 153, seven (7) ■ of the applicants or. the evening of the Constitution were elected, two ' rejected and two were held over • for a waiver of jurisdiction, and of the ufteen charter members, four have ■(emitted and four have passes! away | orrty seven still members of 1 the lodge, and I am of the opinion that there are not morf than seven of the Grand Lodge officers who were present at the constitution living. During the winter of 1909 and 1910: ' thinking the lodge had about out- . grown the old lodge room and the en- , trance being difficult for some to find, considerable discussion was indulged j from time to time and in conse- ' on the 22nd of December. 1918, the following committee was appoint- ( cl to secure permanent quarters for - the lodge, consisting of George O. ; Adams, Edward M. Sutton, Otis M. Andrew C- Boswell and R. Groves, chairman. And the ] owner being desirous of making alterations to the building so that is, could be used for other purposes. The Committee got to work and after considerable time secured an option on the building at the north comer of avenue and Ninth street, the now owned and occupied- by Masonic Fraternity. When the committee finally reached a point when the property could be purchased it was found necessary to organize a holding as the lodge was not in a position, financially, to purchase. Con- 1 sequently a holding company was org- * anized, known as the Eastern Travel- 0 lers'_ Association, which was a very ' wise more. The purchase price of the property was 111,000.00 and the alter- C ations and additions necessary to ac- ^ commodate the lodge, with the ante ® Ac., cost about J6J100.00, mak- F ing a total cost of J 17,000.00. "I The property, today, could not be: 1

n purchased and the buildings erected r thereon at a cost of less than $25,000. • The committee above referred to, J c a report made by them on May t '' 4th, 1911, were instructed to purchase J • the Ninth and Asbury avenue prop- 1 - erty, but there had been no arrange- " <1 ments made to finance it so they made 1 = a final report on the 22nd day of July ' p which report was referred back and | again presented on the 14th of Sep- • tember, 1911, w hen it was ordered ree ceived and filed, and the committee I discharged. About this time the above • referred to eastern Travellers' Aifto- £* ciation was organized. A new commith or. Temple -.as appointed October - 10th, 1912, consisting of Warren • Brown, David Creaswell, John Brower, - Allen Scull, H. D. Mowrer and John - Marts. ■ The lodge continued to hold its '- meetings in the old lodge room at — ' f No. 807 and 809 Asbury avenue, from = - the date of constitution until April, ~ d whan the lodge, after having re- " ceived permission from the Grand " moved to its new quarters in - the Masonic Building on the north • of Asbury avenue and Ninth - street, and on the 8th day of May,- . 1913, the lodge celebrated the 16th anr nirersary in the new lodge room. The = 1 celebration having been postponed ^ the 25th of February on ac- • count of the unfinished condition of n the building and furnishings. The Eastern Travellers' Association I is composed of the members of the ■ only, as stock holders. The lodge owns d twenty-seven hundred dollars worth of '' the capital stock, beside the furnish1 of the lodge room, which are ^ worth over two thousand dollars. r The lodge is prosperous and is still • growing; there are knocks at the out- • door nearly every communication 7 When one stop* to consider that the - is confined, practically, to t this jslaiffl, I think it has done verv t well. There are in our city about eight | white males, twenty-one year- \ 1 of age. or over and it is to be pr»- . sumed that at least half of them would -. make good Masons and yet we have '. yw<**half qf~ti—g*ThOmbers"'of , lodge, and it behoves us to guard I, w-ell the outer door. - Following was the program : * Part I Lyric Orchestra r Lyric Male Quartette '.
