There were three applications re-
ceived at the meeting of Court Los An

again present after a vacation taken
on his ranch.
There was a good attendance at the
meeting of Court Morris Vineyard last
week and Brother Mcdonald had four
limitations to his credit. The commit
tee is working hard for the success of
the dance to be held next month, and
it promises to be one of the biggest
ever.
Court La Fiesta is still booming and
last week received several applications
and also had the initiatory work. Com
panion Dempsey, the captain of the
guard of honor of Companion Court
Los Angeles, rendered assistance to the
La Fiesta guard of honor that has been
lately organized. Brother Mcdonald
suggested a banquet for those who as
sist in the upbuilding of the court and
the proposition was taken up with en-
thusiasm. The members have taken
right hold and a big boost in member
ship will be the result. After the reg
ular meeting dancing was the order
of the evening as usual and a good
time had by the large number present
The order had a surplus of more than
$14,000,000 and is doing more good than
ever in the world. Year by year the
order is doing more for the orphans
and for the aged and disabled For
esters in addition to the millions dis
bursed yearly to the beneficiaries of the
deceased members. Truly it is an or
der of which to be proud and it merits
the best endeavors in it's upbuilding.
