lodges. The new lodge Minerva, in
stituted on October 27, with a charter
list of twenty-five, makes the T. F. b.

credit ten new members as the result
of the recent campaign. That is more
than had been done by that lodge for
many months previous. The ambition
is now to reach the 100 mark which
will not be such a difficult task if the
enthusiasm continues. Watch Frater-
nifty.
Los Angeles lodge No. ! is mourning
the death of one of its pioneer mem
bers, Mrs. M. ID. Johnson. She was
for long time vice president of that
lodge and president of the Golden Hour
club, and always until her illness was
an interested and active member of the
Fraternal Brotherhood
The publicity campaign conducted
among the Los Angeles city lodges
proved such a winner that it has been
decided to conduct one along similar
lines that shall extend all over Cali

December. 1t is hoped that the success
of the former is a forerunner of the
good things that are in store for the
present one.

has "bee in it's bonnet"

The Halloween high jinks of la
Grande No. 9 drew out the usual crowd
of pumpkin rollers, pie eaters, gum
chewers and racers of all descriptions.
Much efficiency was shown along the
various lines so that nothing but a lit
tie practice is needed to develop some
experts. If a few more Halloweens
could be introduced there would be
nothing lacking.
