THE FoREsrERs or AMERICA.


From the days of bold Robin Hood
in the 18th and 18th century, when he
and his Merry Men lived in Sherwood
Forest, England, and practically ruled
the northern part of England, gather
ing the bulk of his followers by acts of
benevolence, and his leaders by trying
their skill and courage in personal
encounter, there has been, and will
be until the end of time, followers of
Robin Hood, known today as Forest
ers. Although they are not united,
as they were IN the days of old, when
every Forester took his life in his
own hands, by joining Robin EHood
in his fight for social liberty, they still
inculcate the cardinal principles of
Liberty, Unity, Benevolence and Con-
cord The Order of Foresters today
has membership of over 100000
scattered the world over, but it mat.
tiers not where they meet you will find
them first doing acts of beneYolence
and enjoying the social and festive
workings of their Order. With such
subjects to base its work upon as bold
Robin Hood, Little John, and Friar
Tuck, the reader who has been for.
tunate enough TO see any of the plays
or operas that introduce these charac-
tiers may form some idea of what an
iniation In Forestry means. When the
Order of Forestry was instituted in
1745, it was in the same locality where
bold Robin lays buried, and one can
readily see how Forestry. became con.
nected with his traditions and titles
Since 1890, the Order has been benefit
and social organization, with an en-,
dowment fund in which member
can insure his life if he feels so dis.
posed.
NJ. L. Jones, Deputy Grand Chief,
an organizer, has been in Caldwell
several days and succeeded in getting
quite number interested in the sub,
ject, and in the early part of the com.
ing week he will confer the first or
inlatory degree of Forestry, and when
the list is complete the ancient degree
of Forestry will be introduced.
