Degree of Honor at Work.

Tuesday afternoon was spent by the
Degree OF Honor in listening to the
reports of the committees that were
appointed in the morning, and these
were taken up and disposed of in
their order
The question of holding district
conventions was broughtup for discus
sion. The idea was advanced by sew
eral delegates that the Degree of
Honor work could be advanced much
more rapidly if the district conven-
tion idea was adopted by the grand
lodge. The point was to hold the
conventions once a year at the larg-
est towns in the district and put
forth an earnest effort to secure the
consent of all the members IN
that district to go. BY this method
It was believed that the interest in
the order could be much better main
tanned and that the members would
go home with more enthusiasm to
prosecute the work of increasing the
membership of their local lodges.
The question was voted as to hold
ing the Of district convention and
the vote showed practically a unan-
ious voice in favor of the idea. The
conventions will be held once d year.
Toward the close Of the afternoon
an open session was held at which
were present Mr.. lIarwick and Mr..
Wilson. the supreme lodge officers.
They were introduced by Mrs.
Comstock, the presiding officer,
and they were given a hearty well
come by the delegates. Both gentle
men were prevailed upon to make
some remarks and they responded in
manner betitting the occasion. both

work that has been and is being
accomplished by the Degree of Honor

order but also of being of such ma
terial assistance in aiding the growth
Of the A. O. U. W. The supreme
lodge officers paid the grand lodge a
fine compliment on its strong organi-
zation throughout ohe state, as was
evidenced by the large attendance of
the delegates, and they hoped to see
the grand lodge grow to even larger
proportions as BELTS the grand young
state of South Dakota

Degree of Honor Finish,

The business session was brought to
a close about I o'clock, and the time
until then was spent in acting upon
reports for the good Of the order. No
particular changes were made in the
constitution, for the reason that the
grand lodge has been acting under
the new instrument but year, since
it was divided from North Dakota,
and there was no need for a change
in the work at this time.
Inasmuch as the Workmen had de-
cided to hold the next session at
Lead City motion was carried to

the effect that the Degree of Honor
should be held at the same place.
Before adjOurning a motion was made
to increase the salary of the grand
recorder. Miss Kate Sessions, to $500
per year, and the motion prevailed
unanimously.
A resolution was presented and
heartily adopted thanking the local
Degree of Honor lodge for the splen-
did manner in which the delegates
had been entertained while in the
city.
At the evening session the degree
team OF Prosperity lodge, this city.
eXemplitied the work before the grand
lodge which consumed the entire
evening. The team was the recipi-
ents Of many compliments for the
very careful manner in which the
work was presented. At the close of
the work refreshments were served
the delegtaes and an hour of sociabil-
ity prevailed.
This morning the greater share of
the delegates of both grand lodges
took their departure for home, all
agreeing that their time in the city
had been pleasantly and proftably
spent. and Mitchell certainly was
pleased at having such worthy and
sociable guests.
