John Sobieski gave an interesting lee
ture on Poland" to an appreciative
audience of Good Templars and their
friends. He gave an exact historical
review of the battles fought between

bravery of some of the countrymen
standing for the rights and freedom of
men:
Col. Sobieski is one of the greatest
supporters of prohibition and stated
that since 1872 he has been voting at
the presidential election and has never
yet voted for a man who was elected
to the office. He says he enjoys vot-
ing in that way.
After the lecture a pie auction was
held, Mrs. Stella McCollum being
chairman of the social committee.

MODERN WOODMEN OF
AMERICA

- Golden State camp is pre-
pairing to move into its
f new home in the old Ma
kW\m/AU sonic hall at 431 South Hill
WA<<kU street. The camp has Sc
SA~ cured a five-year lease on
the hall and will furnish
it up especially for a general lodge
hall. The committee having the ar
rangements in charge had ordered most
of the necessary lumber for renting
and refurnishing the hall, and num-
ber of the carpenters OF the camp VIII
assist in making the necessary changes
and building the altars and pedestals,
and fitting up the lockers.
The hall will be ready for occupancy
March l. and the camp Will open 1t
with a social meeting Wednesday even
ing March 3. The entertainment for
that occasion is to be provided by the
officers of the camp as a committee,
and something extraordinary is ex-
pected 1t is hoped that all the camps
of M. w. A. in the city will be well
represented at the initial meeting OF
the camp in it's new home.
The office of the clerk will be moved
from it's present location, $50 Security
building, to room u, in the same build
ing in which the hall is located.
The Royal Neighbors are considering
the advisa bility of occupying the nall
one night a week.
Neighbor Herbelin, the camp deputy,
is still doing. good work for the camp
in bringing in new members. He had
six adoptions and eight new applica-
tions last Wednesday night.
Neighbor Will E. Ross is i'll at the
California hospital and would be glad
to see the neighbors who could call
on him.
Neighbor Dillehunt is also sick at
the Angelus hospital. He is too i'll to
see visitors at present
Neighbor John Faust is rapidly re-
covering from a very serious injury,
and the prospect is good that he VIII
fully recover his strength.
Vernon camp meets every Tuesday
evening at Okey's hall, Vernon and
Central avenues.
One thing about Vernon camp that
shold be an example to other M. w. A.
camps in the city is its energy and
ability to have good, interesting meet
ings. A surprise is always on tap for
the members, and they are afraid TO
miss a meeting for fear that they will
forfeit a great pleasure. One night
they will spring a social and have the
meeting broken up by the Royal Neigh
bors who take the camp by storm.
Another night roast pig, hot from the
oven mysteriously appears, or a roast
turkey or other feathered creature.
Neighbor Ayers, who does the roast
ing for the boys, never asks NeighbOrS
Spengler and Duzenbury whose roOSt
or whose sty has been robbed. Now
the camp has an orchestra that is the
real thing, and no meeting is without
music of high class. Long live Vernon
camp, M. w. A.
