short remarks District Deputy Bur
CESS was also with us and made a

The advisor of Sunset camp, the baby
camp of Los Angeles, also made a
few remarks.
Everything has been progressing in
the most satisfactory manner in Golden
State camp since we were last heard
from through the columns of The Her
aid.
| Wednesday evening, March 4, a very
successful open meeting was held in
the lodge room at 1251a South Spring
street The program was composed of
songs. recitations and instrumental
music. There is some excellent talent
/ to be found among the. members of
Golden State camp, and they are al
ways ready and anxious to perform for
| the good of the order. After the enter
! tainment a dance was INDUCED in until
midnight.
Wednesday evening of last week
Golden State camp held its regular
weekly meeting and added a good many
/
each week. There were seven adop-
| tions, six taken in by transfer and
| twenty-siX new applications read. At
ter the regular meeting the delegates to
| the county convention got together in
the hall and discussed ways and means
! for promulgating the best interests of
| the camp in the coming convention.
Although times are rather quiet, Gold
en- State is increasing its membership
very rapidly.
Saturday night of last week a new
camp of Modern Woodmen was insti-
! tuted, known as Sunset camp. The
baby camp meets at 517 South Broad
way each Saturday night. Sunset camp
started off with about fifty members.
The officers of Sunset camp say that
they will soon have seventy-tive or 100
more members, as the new camp was
started by prominent members of an
other camp. If some of the older
camps do not look well to their laurels
the new camp is likely to outstrip them
in the race for membership.
California camp Is progressing in its
usual manner and is taking in addi-
tional membership both by application
and transfer card. Consul Buchanan is
making a good record as presiding Off
| Ger of the camp, and under his guild
ance the order is moving along smooth
ly. Clark Smith is also doing good
work for California camp. and is very
deeply interested in Woodcraft gener-
ally. California camp is to be congrat-
ulated upon the efficiency of its officers.
There will be an open meeting tomor-
row night, to which all Woodmen. their
families and friends are cordially in
vited The entertainment arranged by
the committee will be we'll worth your
time. No charge is made for admis-
sion.
Vernon camp had its regular meeting
Tuesday evening and had a rousing
time taking in three new members by
adoption and three by transfer card.
Vernon is a strong camp and is OIL
cered by good men. The boys down
that way always like to welcome visit
ors. If you are a Woodman and want
to have a nice time. just drop down TO
Vernon camp some evening. The hall
is at Forty-fourth street and Vernon.
Eastside camp is holding nice meet
| ings each week and will be we'll repre-
sented in the county convention April
/. Great preparations are being made
by the various camps throughout the
county to make the coming county con-
vention at Whittier on April 1 the
| largest one ever held in the county.
There will be an all day session as
we'll as a session in the evening. The
faithful will arrive in Whittier from
every part of the county and there will
be a grand time. Possibly some of the
members will do some tall scrapping
during the day, as there are a good
many wires being pulled at the present
time by aspirants for the various oft1ces
pertaining to the order. There VIII be
a number of delegates to be elected to
the state camp, which meets In Visalia
in May.
There are a good many aspirants for
the office of delegate to the head camp,
which will meet in Peoria, ILL.,, early in
June, and as each asDirant wants to
see his particular friends elected to the
state camp, the big wire pulling Will
come off at Whittier. Possibly some
of the fretful ones will quit pulling
wire and go to pulling hair before the
day is over. 1t is not good for brothers
to dwell together in harmony at all
times, as a little scrap adds to the spice
of life and causes everybody to be
friends afterward
Live Oak camp, South Pasadena, held
a successful social Thursday night. A
| Jolly good crowd was in attendance,
and a number of neighbors from other
camps. Live Oak camp is very much
alive, and while it does not rank in size
with some of the larger and older
camps, yet she is as sturdy as the OAK
