rade Of all the visiting delegates.
After the business sessions of the
grand lodge are completed . number
of side trips will be given to the wis.,

ban railway.
The association members came pre-
pared to arouse interest in the sp-
preaching biennial, which is expected
to bring 800, 900 visitors to Kentucky
next year. and there is no doubt that
the members of the order throughout
the state today have q better conoep-
tion of the magnitude of the enterprise
than they had before. Every lodge
and uniform rank company in the
commonwealth will assist in the en-
tertainment Of the visitors, and the
hearty sympathy in the movement ex-
pressed by the delegates to the grand
lodge meeting, indicates that every
section of the state will be thoroughly
represented at the coming event.
