Swarts lodge is always on the a,er,
for anything that pertains IN tba eood
Vi 'he oruer and ranks number one
IN this particular line. and does so with
out any buster. The latest move made
py This lodge is the presentation OF 4
bundle OF sticks to Pilgrim lodge ana
this bundle is to go the grand rounds
or In other words Will make a visit %
every lodge in The state. The idea IS
that Pilgrim lodge who first receives
the trophy shall embelish one OF the
Sticks with a silver plate bearing the
name ana number OF the lodge and the
cate OF the emDellishmcpt. Then within
IouI weeks, Pilgrim lodge must visit
some other lodge, taking with them the
bundle which is presented TO the
louse visited, and they in turn do tho
same. and so on until every lodge n
the state has been visited. and N is
possible thalb il will be presented To the
Grand Lodge at some session during its
travei. and there be decorated as by
the subordinate lodges, and finally
some lodge Will have the extreme
pleasure OF returning IL TO Swarts

uophles as may from time To time

reaches Swarts lodge. which Will un-
doubtedely be at least I'm four years. as
storms, holidays. and other Incidents

bundle being given "a new home every
iour weeks. IN is quite probable that
when the bundle" reaches Swarts
lodge that it's reception will take place
IN infantry Hall. and will BE- made a
memorable occasion.
