Mr.. Frank Gilman and Miss

T. Bodle, the state organizer of
the knights of the Maccabees, has
about concluded his labors in Prov
ers county, and will soon be seeking
a new field, the Granada tent having
reached the number necessary for a
. charter In spite of the hard times,
and although the fraternal benef-
ciary societies were well represented
Mr.. Bodle has organized two tents Of
the Maccabees in Prowers county,
one at Lamar and one at Granada.
both of which have the most fatter-
ing prospects OF a rapid future
growth The Granada tent will sure
" reach 30 to 30 within few
months. The merits of the order
and the ability of Mr. Bodle as an
organizer have accomplished this
wonderful result in so short time.
The Maccabees is a good order and
is quite fortunate IN having Mr..
Bodle for state organizer.
