Several of the boys of the navy who

The boys certainly had good time,
and we are glad that there were some
good Foresters among them.
Court Morris Vineyard had what
/ they call "smokeless smoker on Fri
day evening, and the ladies thought it
was the best kind Of a smoker. In
fact they do not object to that kind of
a smoker at all. A short program, con-
sisting of a few first-class musical
numbers, was given, and the high
chief ranger DR.. C. B. Dickson, gave
en- interesting address setting forth
the reasons why all present should be
Foresters. The floor was cleared for
dancing and was filled with the danc-

Reed.

Court Rivera is still progressing in
it's journey toward the 100 mark, and

Companion Court Miramar lost its
first member by death this week in the
person of Companion Fisch, whom they
buried on Tuesday. The officers of the
court had charge of the ceremonies,
and a large attendance of the COM

Companion Fisch was held.
The benefits of Forestry to the Ia
dies is becoming more apparent every
day, and it is little wonder that the
ladies are earnest Foresters.
Court Los Angeles held a rousing
good meeting Thursday night. From
the amount of business transacted 1t
appears that the new court deputy, ID.
d. Mcdonald, is going some. 1t ap-
pears that fifteen applications, five
candidates initiated and two transfer
cards in one evening shows conclu-
sively that D. D. is not a dead one.
F. r. Hand, superintendent of organ
izers, was on hand and presented em--
blematic and other prizes for reward
of merit in getting new members to
the following brothers: Gus Loobs,
chief ranger; DR.. Goodrich, Daveridge,
