During the winter there has been going
on in Green Mountain Lodge No. 40, N.

been the means of bringing over 200
applications for membership into the
lodge. The contest closed Saturday and
at the regular meeting that evening 145
applications were presented. The mem
bers OF the lodge were divided into two
bodies, one captained by Henry E. Byron
and the other by John N. Gale. The lat.
ter was the winning side, and at some
future date they will enjoy a banquet at
the expense OF the losers. This lodge is
the largest fraternal body in town if not
IN the state. On Jan it had member.
ship OF 459 and stood fourth among the
lodges OF that order in New England.
AS result of this winter work its mem

not quite 700, when it will be exceeded
in numbers by but one lodge in the su-
preme domain. While the order has an
excellent social and fraternal side it is
designed primarily as an insurance
organization and large amount of
insu ance is carried by its members in
this town. Within period of IL months
which ended recently, $12 900 was paid
to the benefciaries OF members of the
order here.
