NEW REBEKAH LODGE WAS INSTITUTED LAST NIGHT 'Fairview," of Mizpah, Is Name of New Lodge.Big Bemidji Delega- tion Present. Fairview," Rebekah lodge No. 128, is the name of the new Rebekah lodge which was instituted in Miz pah last night by Mrs. Evelyn Just of Crookston, state president of the Rebekah s. The instituting of the lodge was an event of much importance at Mizpah and was attended by a large num ber of Rebekah members from out side lodges, among whom were twenty-eight members of the Bemidji Rebekahs, ten from Blackduck and two from Bagley. The degree team of the Bemidji lodge, under the direction of Mrs. C. L. Atwood, captain, exemplified the secret work and performed so as to receive much praise from the state president. The work of insti tuting the lodge was not concluded until the early-morning hours, but the occasion was a very pleasant one, despite the tedious work necessary to start the lodge. The lodge starts out with thirteen charter members, and despite the "hoodoo" which the sceptic connect with the number thirteen, a bright future is predicted for the "Fair view" Rebekah lodge. During the night a splendid supper was served, and refreshments were also served this morning prior to the departure of the train for Be midji. The following are the officers of the lodge who were elected at last night's meeting- N. G., Amy Buckmaster, V. G., Hattie Seaman rec, sec, Belle Corn stock treas., Etta Francis.

The price to be paid for furs this winter will be lower than those which prevailed last year, acccord ing to the editor of the International Falls Echo, who has been investigat ing the matter, and who says: "A Chicago raw fur house, which does a large business with Northern Minnesota trappers, has issued its first price list of the season, with an explanation to the effect that as the fur season is just beginning, values are not yet fully established, but they are given with as much accur acy as possible. -'Taken as a whole, prices for raw fur this fall will not be as high as last, according to the circular in question, which is conceded to be one of the most reliable {issued. In a few cases better prices will be 1 fT*"^ ^j. "-v^" #5^ obtained, but the average will be lower, although in very few instances have there been any_ very great reductions." Who Likes Lemon Pie?
