| The installations have been the feature
of the meetings this week and District
Deputy Grand Master John p. Willets
and his chosen staff have boon prompt
and conducted the ceremonies in superb
style. They had their parts down pat
and thus held the attention of the officers
elect and lodge members. The effect Is
The work could not have been done In
better form. The District Deputy TOO en-
forced the law requiring the work for the
year to be properly recorded and new
sheets ready for the new year. The books
were all balanced and the statistics en-
tered before the officers were indicted
into Office

their new and gorgeous costume at the

il that it will be done in grand style. and
those who will see it win be sure to be on
hand every time the degree team does the
second act.
Brother Thomas Fitzsimmons waxed
eloquent on Wednesday night. When ne
begins to talk about the order he strikes
q popular subject and has few equals in
the district as an orator in discussing
Odd Fellowship. He is an earnest, ener-
getic and tireless worker and is destined,
II merit is properly appreciated, to land
close to the highest chair in the Grand
Lodge; As Igrand marshal at installa-
he could not be excelled.
A pleasing feature of the installation
this week was the fact that the officers
elect had selected their appointees and
they were present to be installed. With
very few exceptions the list was COM
pleted In every lodge. It was noticeable
LOO that all the officers chosen are those
who have been punctual and faithful
Clear the decks for action has been the
order and the decks have been cleared for
the new commanders. This is eminently
proper. but the permanent secretary
should be afforded time in which to pre-
pare the statistical record. ALI the re-
ports should be filed on the last meeting
IN the year ana this would obviate delays
at the installation.
Harmony Encampment will meet next
Friday night. ID. ID. G. p. John b. Oett-
ing Will install the officers. A good time
is expected. Ali brothers are Invited.

sired.

ably have their OH GERS Installed at their
next meeting by the d. D., John B. Oett-
lug.
Brother G. Dompiere is an earnest o.
q. and a p. G. p. He would make good
n. q. and we would like to see Brother
Dompiere wearing past grand's collar.
Come brother, what is the matter?
DR. Shain, P. g., got off a neat one about
the mysterious injunction at the expense
