meeting valuable prizes Will be given
for highest score, and at the end OF
the tournament a capital prize will
be given to the one making the highest
ell meets at SIT South Broadway, and
all members of the order and their
friends are invited to attend.
The show to be given for the benefit
of the Relief and Hospital association
by the Royal Arcanum minstrels will
be held at the Mason opera house the
latter part of October. In a few days
the committee on advertising will be
able to announce the exact date. Ar
rangements have been made with F.
w. Blanchard to have the tickets on
sale at the Bartlett Music company's
store and at the box office the day of
the show. Every member of the order
is expected to be q booster for this
event. There has been long felt want
for such an association for Los An
ge1es owing to so many members of the
order coming from the east afflicted
with the white plague, and in many
cases without the means to take care
of themselves after getting here. Lo-
cal members needing assistance will
also receive the same attention from
the officers Of the association.
Orator Donnelly of Los Angeles
council is arranging to give social
dance In October as soon as the date
has been set: due notice will be given
the members and their friends to at
tend. This council will soon have a
fully equipped degree team to confer
the degree upon its candidates. The
officers say that they expect to have
one of the best teams in the state.

Much of the gloom that recently per-
vaded the court house was dispelled'
last week when Deputy County Clerk,
Andy Francisco hove in sight. At once
matters assumed a livelier air and bus
mess resumed it's wonted activity, same
as it was before the smiling Andy went
away to take his little dab of vacation.
Andy is one of the popular members of
Marathon-Los Angeles lodge.
Preparations are being made by the
entertainment committee of the Pyth-

consisted of: Overture, Royal court or

dancers took possession of the main
floor after the program. The commit
tee, consisting of T. d. Huff, chair
man, assisted by Ladies Green. Rice,
Gress and Adams, and Courtiers Lock-
wood and DIR. Montague, deserve great
credit for the success.
The order lost it's first member in Los
Angeles last Sunday in the decease of
Miss Lutte Sayles. Miss Sayles was a
member of the Royal Guards of AS
semby No 2 and a very active worker
in the assembly. The prompt payment
of the amount of the certificate, which
was paid on Thursday, and the sympa-

bers, was acknowledged by the family
in a beautiful letter to the members.
Los Angeles assembly No 2 will hold
its annual "open-closed" meeting Tues
day at Stevenson hall, 438h South
Spring street. The committee has not
made public the program arranged, but
it is said that any member of the order
in the city who does not attend the
meeting will miss the best entertain
ment ever given in Los Angeles.
The Royal court hospital department
was launched last week and is the most
complete and down-to-date organiza-
ton in existence, covering all the bene-
fits and with the advantage of the fra
ternal features. The fact that new de-

in government, state and municipal

At the review of the supreme tent
held last summer the laws were amend

of the Maccabee cadets, to be COM

the Maccabees. The object was to in
terest the boys in fraternal work and to
teach the Importance of fraternal in
surance societies. The first lodge Of
the cadets was organized at Lexing-
ton, KY, in March by Captain John r.
Charlesworth, and bids fair to have
a large membership. Since the date of
it's organization the cadets have been
drilled in calisthenics and marching or
ders once each week, and recently ap-
peared on the streets for the first time
in public parade, giving drill exhibit

Some time during the latter part or
October the Woodmen of the World
and the Women of Woodcraft will hold
a social hop at Peck's pavilion at the
Light House, San Pedro. Elaborate
plans are being perfected to make this
quite a social success. Private cars
have been chartered for the occasion
and San Pedro camp will join In the
festivities.
La Fiesta camp last week invested
$500 in gold edge first mortgages on
four pieces of improved property In
Los Angeles. 1t is the aim of this
camp to ultimately buy building site
and erect an edifice to be dedicated TO
the Woodmen of the World.

but for some unknown reason he viii

Organizer Veale recently went to San

would have a visit from the head
consul.

will give dance for the benefit of It's
members and friends and big time is
expected.

If he has seen any of the organizers?

This Is one of the most active
branches of the fraternity. Under the
leadership of Commander Charles H.
