Mt. View Lodge, No. 179, 1. O. O. F.
held a splendid meeting on July 29th,
1911, L. D. Bockman, N. G. presiding,
with a pretty fair attendance. The us
ual amount of routine business was dis
posed of. .
- Bro. E. D. Staley was reported as
still quite feeble. Bro. R. F. Pippin
was reported as feeling better, but is
in an - extremely bad condition. Bro.
W.L. Stewart has recovered after about
three weeks' tussle with malarial fe
ver. Bro. Chas. A. Bussell writes -the
lodge that he is slowly improving and
hopes to be well in a short while.
Three petitions for initiatory were
presented, rea.d and referred to com
mittee of investigation. '
It is hoped that there will be a full
attendance at the next meeting when
the subject of bnilding a hall for the
lodge will be discussed and satisfac
tory arrangements agreed upon. It
is a big undertaking and should be gone
into after mature 1 deliberation. Of
course ne3rly 200 men with a determi
nation can do almost anything they un
dertake. Now if this matter is gone
into let it be with a fixed determination
of every member to make it a success.

Is the best thing we have to offer. Other induce
ments are only of secondary importance. Upon this :
basis only do we solicit your patronage. Postpone the
getting of some things that -you can get along with-
out and put the money in the bank. You have never
met a person with a bank account who regretted hav- J
ing started it. Why not start one today? Many work-
ing men start a bank account and watch it grow
from month to month.
Deposits in any amount respectfully solicited, and
all alike will receive the same careful, courteeous V
and prompt attention.

buildings have been secured,
for the coming year, so we are inform

vice. While thorough and accurate
scholarship is insisted upon, special em
phasis is placed on character building as
the real purpose of all education. The
aim of Winthrop is to so train the boys
and girls of today, that, when school
days are past, they will become men and
women inspired by noblest ideals; ready
to serve efficiently and wisely in the?
larger field of mature life. i
