Every Hour of Shriners'
Stay There Is Spoken
For

A good time and plenty Of it twenty
four hours for the day is what is
proposed by the local Shriners to their
visiting brethren who will come here
in caravans from all parts of the
country for the meeting of the I'M
perial council in May.
When $4,000 can be raised in an hour
there is no need to worry where the
"wherewithal' will come from. That
was the amount raised in the short
time given by Long Beach Shriners
for the visit of the Shriners there. a
grand ball in the pavilion is one of
the main events for the week. The
Long Beachites are bound that the
visit by the sad sea waves shall be
all that the easterners could desire,
and are leaving nothing undone. Ac-
tivity and hustle is the byword of all
Shriners these days, and among the
foremost is w. II. Harrison, head of
the executive committee for the grand
ball. With the decorations, electric IL
luminations and the hundred and one
details, he is kept on the SO.

possible and are acting in perfect ac-
cord with the committee and promise
to care for all that come. Evidently
their motto IS "there is always room
for one more"
Word has been received at local
headquarters from Montreal and
Quebec that a delegation will attend
and asking for hotel accommodations.

One Shriner was heard to COM

"Well, there is one thing that we
don't have to worry about. We won't
have any rainy weather, a la Arbor
day. And that'll mean a good deal to
