q AK PARK at Santa Barbara pre-
sented a lively scene from August
" 2S to September g. on the occasion
of the annual encampment OF the
Third regiment, Uniform Rank,

proved to be one of the most success
full from all points of view ever heid
in California. The selection of santa
Barbara, where the citizens met the
visitors with great cordiality, was
wise one, and the camping ground at
Oak park was an ideal location at the
end of the car line in the northwestern
part of the city-a magnificent grove
of oak and sycamore trees, a running
stream through the center, leaving
nothing te be desired as to natural
beauty, in honor of Gen. j. A. Drifill
of Oxnard, commander of the Califor-
MIA brigade the park was christened
Camp Driffill."
Company and battalion drills were
held each morning and evening and
dress parade at $50 p. M, at which
stimes large numbers of spectators
were on hand, many of whom were for
the first time made aware that the
Uniform Rank knights of Pythias is
the only organization of its kind char
tered and under the control and call
of the United States government. The
camp was conducted under strict mill
tary discipline throughout Fully five

SENSIBLE QUESTION

When a man asks woman to marry
him it would be a most excellent pre-
liminary If she were to say to him.
"Are you insured?" and to base her
answer to his proposal upon his reply
to her counter question. Most men
think they would do anything for the
girl of whom they think enough to
want as a wife. Sometimes man un-
der such circumstances offers to die for
the girl to show good faith But after
the sounds of the wedding march have
died away, the rumble of the carriage
wheels driving home from the marriage
ceremony have ceased, and the honey
moon is over, too many men neglect the
matter of insurance. They take long
chances and they make the girl take
still longer chances with added hanoi-
caps. They forget that if the girl VINO
has become the wife found 1t dlthcult
to make a living before marriage WIN
out dependents, her difficulties Will be
tremendously increased as a wldoW
with one or more children. Most nus
bands are very selfish and very
thoughtless if they neglect to insure.
The girl should remember also tnat IL
will he much easier for her TO ulctate
Insurance before rather than after
marriage. There Is more to coInIneiiu
the excellence of insurance In maj
rimonial alliance than is the case win
foo many other marriage settlements

If this old world were without fra

would be many penniless widows and
poorly clad and poorly fed orphans.
Almshouses and poorhouses would be
more plentiful. The good fellowship SO
well established among men and wom-
en- would be well nigh blotted out. The
spread of fraternalism has done much
toward making the American republic
what it is today. Boost our own or
