MODERN WOODMEN OF
AMERICA

- California camp No.
~ N 111e3, NJ. w. A, held a
n lively meeting at their hall,
VIVIAN S14 South Main street,
WA1\AU Monday evening. The For
~ ester team, under Captain
It. r. McElliott, are devising plan so
that they can arrange to attend the
encampment to be held in May at
Peoria. ILL., In all probability they VIII
succeed in their undertaking, for the
members are waking up and beginning
10 hustle This old thing of believing
that everything comes to him who
waits doesn't seem to buy very much,
and especially when one realizes that
il is the man behind the gun that ac-
composites more than the man behind
the drone The meeting was full of
interest from start to finish and all
Woodmen went to their respective
homes feeling that they had spent
profitable evening and determined that
in the future they would devote just
a little more time to their camp meet
ings and get out and do some strong
hustling What do you think about it,
boys? Get busy, for rolling stone
gathers no moss.

address by c. A. Elder, camp deputy,
and, incidentally, the most bashful and
backward member of the M. W. A.,
from an oratorical standpoint. Neigh
Dor Elder acted quite elderly and tried
to appear old and infirm, but before
he was half through with his address
he warmed up to such an extent that
the windows had to be lowered to al
low the hot air to escape when he
alluded to the banner, Long may 1t
wave over Pacific camp" and not fall
into the hands of the enemy. Neighbor
Elder is a rustler from away back, and
when il comes to making new Wood
do, if he saw man, is to AK him TO
Join the camp, and you bet he does
not buck, but gets right onto the
wood pile" Music was furnished by
Wetzeps orchestra, and the drill team
took charge of the visitors, got them
acquainted, partners for dances and
made themselves generally useful. Col.
J. d. Jones, captain of the team, has
announced his intentions of entering
the contest and hopes to win the first
prize as the ugliest man in the camp
