Militant, 1. O. o. F.. had another of its
numerous drills Friday evening. The
canton is getting in fine drilling form
and is looked upon as a very likely win
| ner IN the contests which are to take
place before the Sovereign Grand Lodge
at Baltimore in September. Although
under the rules established by the Grand
Lodge. only twenty-four patriarchs can
appear In each drill team, thirty were
drilling last evening, and this assures
sufficient number OF exceIlently
trained substitutes for delinquents at
Baltimore. Capt D. V. Chisholm. com
mander of the canton, is also at the
head of the drill team. The enthusiasm
OF members of the local canton is well
exhibited by the presence in the ranks
of the team as plain privates of some
OF the highest officers of the patriarchs
militant in this jurisdiction. The list
Of privates includes Brig. Gen. E. w
Bradford and Col. John l. Brown. both
