appreciation which We have for Odd Eel

of its members residing in the District of

1T is not strange that the independent
Order of Odd Fellows has become nterna-
tional in the broadcast sense, spreading not
only throughout Canada and into Mexico
and Central and South America, but across
the Atlantic into nearly every European
country Except England. which has been
properly left to the original order there
and across the Pacific into Australia and
New Zealand. Cuba and Hawaii, the Philip
pines and Porto Rico contain odd Fellows,
and l presume that there is not a place
over which the American flag floats with
out a worthy representative of your great
fraternity. We do well to honor it, and
honor ourselves in so doing
