1t ups and downs" January 1, 1885,

while today 1t claims membership of
1850, carrying $1,276000 insurance.
Its real prosperity began when it be-
came q union lodge. The first woman
admitted to membership was Carrie E.
Wolfe, who Joined March IA, 1901. In
celebration of the event she was pre-
scented with a beautiful badge which
she might always keep as a memento Of
the occasion. It was then that 1t ex
perienced shaking up of its dry bones
and began in earnest to take on new
life. The growth of younger T. F. B.
lodges in Los Angeles created rivalry
and spurred it on to further effort.
June, 1901, Fred Anthony was elected
president, and during his first term of
office Mrs. N. A. Lashlee Joined by card
from Redlands, and Mrs. Alice E. ].
Roby became a member by initiation.
They have become prominent in the life
of the lodge and are listed among its
officers.
r. D. List was initiated September
49, 1901, and the mantle of president fell
upon his shoulders for a couple Of
terms, and again upon Fred Anthonys.
In the latter days some of the younger
and newer members have held the
honor of presiding.
In its election of officers December
8. 1908. Allen Durand was elected presi-
dent, and the delegates elected to the
district convention are Fred Anthony,
Allen Durand and d. A. Schweitzer.
All are active members of the first and

m HE Fraternal Brotherhood was or
ganized in Los Angeles February
IL 8, 1896, and its first meeting was
held March II, 1896, when the fifty-four
charter members met and Los Angeles
lodge No. 1 was instituted.
The Fraternal Brotherhood is a fra
ternal social, moral and beneficiary
society. 1t is composed of white per-
sons VII are of sound bodily and men
tai health, good moral character and
who are socially acceptable. 1t is in
no way intended to conflict with any of
the established forms of religion or to
deal with sectarianism in any way
whatever. 1t is especially intended to
foster among it's members the true
spirit of fraternity and good fellowship
and to instill into the minds of its
members the thought that they should
care for those who are especially near
and dear to them by providing the pro-
lection and assistance which is needed
in times of sorrow and distress.
With these thoughts for its founda-
ton stone, Los Angeles lodge No. 1 was
instituted, and its charter was left open
for several meetings. March "a, the
second meeting, thirteen additional
names were attached and eleven more
were added the third meeting night
March 81.

dent of the Fraternal Brotherhood.

John Schlyer Sons have on display
at their warehouse a wheat storage
tank which has attracted considerable
attention. The tank is made of gal
vanized iron and is so constructed that
it can easily be moved to any location
desired. After it is filed circular roof
fits snugly over the top Of the tank and
the wheat, corn or whatever grain 1t
may be is safe not only from bugs and
rats, but also from moisture. The tank
has a series of sp0uts and when the
farmer desires to haul load Of wheat
TO town he drives his wagon alongside
of the tank and opens . slide The
tank bin Is filed IN the same manner.
It can be set up in the field and the
wheat can will receive the wheat direct
from the separator. The cost Of the
Foa tank Is said to be less than the
cost Of = woo1eA bin.
