NORTH STAR COUNCIL NO. 9.
About two years ago a council Of the
order was organized with very small
membership in Grand Rapids, Mimi,
but was never properly instituted, and
the membership dwindled down until
there were only four members at large
left. Two weekA> ago Neighbor Earl
was deputized to visit Grand Rapids
and reorganize the council, or practi-
.cally start a new one. He entered into
the work with considerable enthusiasm
and energy and, secured the applica-
tons of IS of the leading business and
professional men of the city and re-
organized the council on: Tuesday even
ing last. The officers were elected, af-
ter which the ritualistic work. was ex-
emplified on Neighbor Topping. The
members then adjourned to. the Hotel
Pokegama, where a bountiful repast
was enjoyed, and several hours spent
in song and sentiment. The prospects
are that North Star council, No. 3, will
within the next three months number
from IS to 100 members.

which has been waging for the past
