growing. Each review adds TO the
membership, and every addition is a
guaranty to the high standing of the
members generally.

The tent at Bingham is said to have
the best drilled degree team in the
state, while that at Mercur is gaining
in membership every month.
The Maccabees of Montana will hold
a state convention during the early
