give a reception at the Peoples
church to the supreme officers and
visiting sir knights and ladies. The
speakers of the evening will be Maj.
N. S. Boynton, supreme record
keeper, and Congressman D. D. Ait
ken, Of Michigan. Maj. Boynton was
president of the National Fraternal
congress, which is composed of all
the leading beneficiary fraternal or

men on fraternal insurance in the
country today. He is a fluent and
entertaining speaker, and delights
the large audiences which greet him
everywhere he speaks. Congress-
man Aitken is we'll known through
out the country. He is vice chief
ranger of the Independent Order Of

tickets enclosed will be sent out to
the friends of Maccabeeism and

ance. The Maccabees have now a
membership of over 1S1, 900, which

sick and disability benefits, it has
few equals in the world.

When dessert was reached, his wife
said to him: 81 didn't tell you before,
