40 BIG TIME WITH F.A.A. Last Thursday evening was anothel pleasant event with the local F. A. A. lodge.

L. D. Roberts, the newly elected General Secretary. was with us and after the regular business had been finished, he made us a good plain talk concerning the workings of the order and what is expected of it during the next two years. Mr.

Roberts made a good impression with our people and those who braved the weather to hear him are fully convinced that he will make good in the discharge of the important duties he has entered upon.

Joe Wimp and Henry Bowers. We venture the as -ertion that Mt. Hope was thorougly discussed, and of course we have no way of telling, but we'll wager it was a homesick bunch too, as they sat in the sunshine and thought of 1 the nice sleigh rides they might be enjoying if they were only in the good old Sunflower state. The "North West." Correspondent in last week's Andale Globe, in in our little story of the week before, in which we said that Mt. Hope was the home of some of the best people on earth, wondered if the Editor's opinion of some of the others would look well in pr.nt.

Wel Jim, possibly our private opinion of two cr three would be barred from the mails, but if it ever becomes necessary to publish a public opinion we'll do our best to do it andy believe we can make it plenty strong enough and yet be free from the law. At least we'll not be afraid of any of them if we take a notion to do it.
