TO believe that the project will work to
the benefit OF the lodges in this county.
In the elections held during the past
week there have been several surprises.
The district should be congratulated,
however, Oh the fiue sets of officers thai
have been elected. With such officers as
the majority of the lodges have secured,
there is no reason why the coming term
should not be a lively one. Brothers, it
remains with you to turn out and support
the officers that you have elected Let
them see that some interest Is being taken
In the affairs OF the lodge Let the
past chancellors also get out and assist
their successors. Too often it happens
that members who have enjoyed all the
honors of the order will lose that interest
which they should by all means retain,

lodges. Let each4meniber take hold, and
not only attend the meetings himself, bnt
see that other brothers VIII accompany
him. Let committees be appointed. If

coin have suddenly become very wealthy
has put our worthy brother, P. @. q. w.
Point. to thinking when 1t will be The
printers turn to catch on" Well,
George. you know the old saying: 1.-THE
sweets of this world come to him who
waits. -
Let every K. of r. and S. see thar his
reports are out promptly and are correct
The slightest carelessness on the part of
the K OF r.. and S. viii cause a great deal
of trouble and delay on installation
night. so brothers be prompt and correct
Too much care can not be given by the
auditing committee to examining the books
OF the K. of II. and S., M. of e. and M. of
I. On them the lodge depends that its
books are being kept In Il proper manner.
Each individual account should be thor
oughly examined and the slightest error
corrected at once. Too often it happens
that members who are appointed 10 serve
on this committee grow weary OF The
work and take too much for granted, thus
leaving the books in tho same condition
as they were before. Men should be APP
pointed on this committee who will do
the work well, and having done their
duty. will render a satisfactory report to
the lodge This committee is no sinecure
for the members. IL is a hard working
one and one Of the most important il the
lodge.
