"Beaulord Jester's moral and spiri-

From where I sit...
Li/ Joe Marsh
You ought to meet my friend, Wilt
Dudley. I suppose Will must be
eventy-eiglit or nine . but you d
never know it, He's tall and lean
and hard as a hickory. And al-
though (he only formal education
he ever had was a few winters in
the old red schoolhouse, I think
that he's the wisest man I know in
many ways.
For one tiling, Will taught me
the value of what he calls "Just
a-settin!"
* « •
Come upon Will in the evening,
when his hunl day's work is done,
and you'll find him "just i-settin,"
in a rocker on his porch. In one
hand he'll have hi.! old briar pipe
and in the other, a tall cool glass
of beer.
"Wholesome, appetizin' beer,"
-ays Will, "is standard equipment
for proper settin! Puts a feller in
an easy-gum' peaceful mood."
You see, Will holds the theory
that in our present mi\ed-up world.
* man needs a quiet hour every
day. An hour in which to sit down

and courage.
Will thinks, and I agree with him,
that a man ought to forget all his
own and the world's worries dur-
ing that hour-of-peace. And Will
feels that a glass of fragrant mel-
low beer helps most to bring you
quiet relaxation.
* • *
Show me the man who sils
down quietly of an evening with
his glass of beer and I'll show you
a man who is wise in the ways of
living. Such men, like Will Dudley,
live to a ripe old age, unembittered
by the troubles of the world. They
seem to remain, all their lives,
sweet-natured and kindly.
Time has a way of rendering ac-
curate judgments on the value of
the things men use and enjoy in
the world. And Time... thousands
of years of it... has handed down
the verdict that beer is a pleasant
and worthy companion for all men
of good will.

OES MEETING
Claude Chapter No 104 convened
in Masonic Hall Monday evening.
July 6, in regular ssesion. Since the
month of June had five Mondays,
the time really seemed long, before
our July meeting. The members

Patron.
The Chapter was opened in re-
gular form. The flag was presented
by the Marshal, Jessie Watson. All
joined with her in the pledge of
allegiance.
The year books were distributed
and the Worthy Matron gave an
inspiring talk on her plans lor the
new year. Many worth while plans
were suggested and it is sincerely
hoped that the Chapter may be
able to carry out the program as
outlined, during coming year.
Mrs. Berry gave her yearly re-
port at the meeting. Her report
listed all the activities accomplish-
ed while she was Worthy Matron
and it was very interesting and
everyone enjoyed it very much
Nell Christian, chairman of the
finance committee also submitted a
detailed report of the work done
by the members of this committee.
Since the date of our meeting
followed so closely after July 4th,
a short patriotic program was ar-
ranged by the Worthy Matron and
dedicated to our boys in the ser-
vice. The program consisted of the
following numbers: Tribute to the
Flag. Estelle Stewart: Solo. Deal

Creed. Louise Smalley; Chapter
Courtesies in respect to Flag. Nell
Christian The closing number "God
Bless America" sung by the entire

way on their summer vacations, we

present at the first meeting of the

on the work to be done.
