ABERDEEN GETS
COURT OF ISIS

Aberaecn. S. D., June 30.--Nc event
In the Masonic world could better dem,
onstrate the up to dateness of the Aber-
decn Masons than the installation of
the Court of Isis in this city yester-
day. The Court of Isis is an adjunct
of the Shrine and while not a new in
stitution exactly. it exists in only one
other city in the United States. New
York. Aberdeen thus has the distinc-
tion of having the first Court in the
West. Only wives, mothers and sis
tiers of members of the Shrine are
eligible to membership in the Court.
r. A. Brown and w. G.. Jacobs We're
largely instrumental in securing this
Court for Aberdeen.
The Court of Isis in this city began
its existence with a large and enthus-
fastic member.. While the majority
of those who Joined yesterday live in
Aberdeen. it is safe to saw that every
town of consequence in the field oc-5
curied by Yelduz Temple is repre-
sented.
