Maccabee's tent, No. 2. met in regu-

After the installation, T. n. Robbins
was initiated, after which he made a
short speech for the good of the order.
Sir knight John Meakin then adj
dressed the assembly in a very pleas
ing manner.
Sir Knight w. D. Wright. the deputy
supreme commander. addressed the
assembly, saying that three years ago
there was not one Maccabee tent in the
Rocky mountain region, but now there
are 20 tents, with 5000 members. He
wished the order God-speed.
Sir knight l.. j. Kyes, who has been
record keeper for the past is months,
and who refused the denomination,
was presented with a handsome badge
of honor, with very pleasing address
from Sir knight Meakin, in which he
stated how faithfully Sir Knight Kyes
had served the tent in the past, and
it seemed as though they had lost one
of the best officers the tent ever had.
Sir Knight Kyes was so surprised that
he was almost unable to speak, which
showed more than words how dear to
him the order and members had be-
come. In a few we'll chosen words he
stated that Sir Knight Meakin could
almost make man believe that he
had wings and was flying through the
air.
Some time was taken up by congrat-
ulating the newly elected officers and
initiated member.
After the meeting was called to or
der a communication was read from
the secretary of the I. o. o. F., asking
the members of the MaccabeeS to join
with the fraternal orders of this city
for the purpose of giving an excursion
mer resorts, the proceeds of which are
to be sent to the fraternal orders of
Park City, to be distributed to the
best advantage for the people who
have lost their homes in the disastrous
fire. L. j. Kyes and w. A. Waight
were appointed a committee to act in
conjunction with the other fraternaI
societies in the matter.
Evergreen lodge, No. 1, F. U. A, is
still in the field and doing good to hui
mainly. The lodge prospers right
along, and good material is always
sought to add to the strength of the
lodge. Tonight, being the first gather
ing for two weeks, on account of last
Monday being observed as a national
holiday, there promises to be many
present, several to be initiated and
quite a number of names handed in to
be balloted on for membership. The
record of the Fraternal Union of
America is one to be proud of. Every
just claim has been paid promptly, nu-
merous accident claims have been adj
justed satisfactorily to all concerned.
the latest one in this city being that of
Frater Edward c. Strobel, who so Sc
riously injured his hand some months
ago. The supreme lodge received the
claim and acted on it promptly, and
sent a check for the amount claimed
in very short time, this showing a
decided willingness on the part of the
organization to deal fairly and honest
ly with every frater. There is no fra
ternal insurance organization in exist
ence which can or does offer any such
satisfactory terms to its members as
does this order. The supreme officers
have commanded the respect and con-
fidence of the community in which
they live for lifetime, and are faith
full and true to every interest of the
order. Evergreen lodge will give a
great blowout at Saltair on Aug. 9.
Don't forget it.
