FORESTERS OF AMERICA.
The Executive Councils ball did not
receive the support it deserved when the
object is considered. 1t was not a failure, (
but it should have been a mammoth sue
cess as the proceeds were 10 have beeu
devoted to establishing a fund to relieve
cases Of distress and pay funeral benefits
when the court on whom the RESPONSE
bility rests is unable to meet the demand.
Several excellent courts have been in
financial straits because of the enor
nous drafts on its treasury. Courts
have frequently carried a dozen on its
sick list at one time, which means a drain
of sixty or more dollars q week, and
several weeks of that sort will empty a
cash box. The idea of the Executive
Council iu having q reserve funk was a
bright one, and 1t Is to be regretted
that the members of the order did not
endorse iL. The trouble is there has been
a surfeit of balls and receptions
aud the members have become weary OF
buying tickets. This event. however.
was not of the ordinary kind. TIL Exc
cutive Council are not discouraged, and
will try again before the season ends.
Every court in the city should unite with
the Foresters' Association and do away
with the incessant importuning to buy
tickets. Seya<k courts recently have
suffered. 9 hGceptions were not
