These entertainments have afforded
the friends of Woodcraft opportunities
for entertainment rarely offered by fra
ternal societies, and the committee hav-

tertainments constituting the series
has worked faithfully and to the en-
tire satisfaction of all the members

The picnic committee has had sew
eral meetings lately and while it has
decided that the next Woodmen pic
mic will be held on Labor day, Mon
day. September 6, the place has not
yet been decided, as all of the summer
resorts are making strong bid to Sc
cure this prize, and as there is con-
siderable rivalry among the fashion
able resorts because the Woodmen of
the World is a great attraction, 1t is
hard for the committee to determine
which offer will add most to the sue
cess of the picnic. a novel feature Is
being looked into, that of wedding of
two well known members of the joint
orders. and some pressure is being
brought to bear upon this engaged
couple to have the ceremony performed
in the presence of thousands of their
friends.
La Fiesta camp last Monday night
initiated two candidates for Whittier
camp, the officers and several members
of the camp coming in to witness the
work which was conferred by the OFF,
GERS of La Fiesta camp and the splen-
didly drilled degree team under the
leadership of Captain Dively Tho
work was well rendered and the can
didates were quite impressed with the
instruction received. 1t is too bad that
every member of the order could not
have heard Neighbor Bailey's master
full speech. and those who heard 1t will
rank it among his best efforts.
Bob Hauser, one of Denvers fore
most Woodmen, is being shown the
city by DR.. Curtis NJ. Beebe, p. c. c..
of La Fiesta camp. Bob is an ardent
Woodman and loyal to the order, and
has many views of his own which he is
not afraid to express. He organized
for the order under Falkenburg, and
the beautiful lessons of fraternity
learned from that grand man has in
1uenced his life for all time.
Vernon camp had a well attended
meeting last Wednesday night. There
were three candidates initiated in the
protection degree and one application
for membership received. The newly
installed officers did the ritualistic
work almost perfectly, C. c. John Pow
ers being especially strong in his lee
lures. The degree team, with Cap
tain Rogers commanding, aided very
materially in the work.
The camp has been divided into two
sides. Z. Hollands. p. c. c., captain OF
one side, and r. G.. Thompson, P. c. c.,
captain of the other. These sides will
contest until December 81, and the
side Securing the largest number of
applications in that time will be ban
quoted by the losing side. Much
friendly rivalry will be INDUCED in,
and the camp expects to materially in
crease its mem bershtp.
Neighbor Foley spoke with much
of membership in the order and urged
more activity. He suggested request
ing the head officers in Denver to al
low $1,000 to be spent in this section on
an immense log rolling, which would
attract the attention of the citizens of
Southern California, and which would
result in new members being added to
the ranks.
Thomas l.. Chapman, the able clerk
of Vernon camp, busy as he always is,
finds time to boost for the picnic, and
his influence and efforts will bear
fruit
Organizer Price is not at present en-
ployed, as he has taken a vacation
during the month of July and is rusti-
eating in the mountains.
