ance and one of the most pleasant
meetings of the year was enjoyed
Three candidates were initiated and
several applications were acted upon

is young yet its hospitality has become
known generally, not only by the asso-
citation but by many of the other or
ganizations, and invitations to its open
meetings are eagerly sought by many
who are lovers of genuine good time,
for this lodge knows how to entertain
its guests.
State Organizer Eli S. Perkins of Ari-
IONA reports that he will institute a
new lodge at Prescott next Friday.
Mr. Perkins has been working on this
project for about two months, and he
expects to have at least 100 members
on the charter list.
