for which occasion a splendid program
is being arranged, the principal num-
her of which will be an address by
Hon. Webster Davis, former assistant
secretary of the Interior ana mem
her of Fremont camp. The mentloh
of Nejghbor Davis name on the pro
gram is sufficient in itself TO NIL the
hall. as his prominence and well-knoWn
oratorical ability is an assurance that
a treat Is in store for those fortunate

Carnation camp at Redondo and Re
dondo circle met Wednesday night
with cards as the feature Of the even
ing's entertainment, after which hne
sumner was served. The hall was well
filed and everybody had good time.
Santa Monica camp held an inter-
esting session Tuesday night with d
very fair attendance. Several visiting
neighbors from Los Angeles camps
were present, among whom were clerk
Chairman Past Consuls Thompson ana
Riviere of Vernon camp, Escort Shat-
fer and Neighbor Mckenzie OF Ere
mont. all of whom were called upon
for brief talks The first part or the
evening was devoted to camp business
and the latter portion given over 70
social entertainment and was IN the
nature of an open meeting. Refresh
nents, along with cigars, were pro-
yided. Clerk Chapman of Vernon, VINO
is a good musician, favored the camp
with selections on several instruments
At the business meeting three appli-
cants names were halloted on, the re-
suit of the newly awakened interest
that has been aroused in the camp,
and it is but fair to presume with the
present interest continuing that the
camp's enrolment will increase TO the
noint desired in a reasonable period or
time. The outlook is certainly most
encouraging to build up and MAINTAIN
a camp of the Woodmen OF the World
at Santa Monica which will be con-
sistent with the population and I'M
portance Of the three sister oceanside
cities.
Long Beach had out an attendance
of about $50 neighbors and friends at
the open meeting Wednesday night. IL
was an occasion long to be remem-
bered as nothing was lacking TO mar
the pleasures. This camp has in Its
membership those who know how to
do things and whenever an open meet
ing is announced the lodge room is
generally we'll filled, sometimes TO
overlooking. The following was the
order of the evenings entertainment,
each number of which received we'll
merited applause: Violin solo, Mr.. and
Miss Kirkpatrick; vocal solo, ii. M
Fay; recitation, Mrs. Thornwait; piano
solo. DR.. w. H. Newman; an original
paper. Mrs. George Miller; song, Misses
Gertie and Mertie Bruner and Mrs
Power: musical number, Miss Myrtle
Morris: recitation, Miss West; vocal
solo, F. NJ. Gates; five minutes tax,
f. M. Gates; fifteen minutes talk
George E. Stretch.
At the conclusion of the program a
sumptuous banquet was served and
dancing INDUCED in until late hour.
La Fiesta camp entertained Monday
night with a ladies' night which af-
forded an opportunity for many friends
of the camp to enjoy it's hospitality.
Cards and dancing were INDUCED IN
until late hour. Refreshments were
served throughout the evening.
More than 1900 Woodmen and their
friends visited the camp in its new
quarters during the month of October,
which is indeed a very credible show
ing and demonstrates the popularity of
the camp. -,
Tomorrow night La Fiesta will in
itiate a dozen candidates, and the team
has promised something new, which is
being kept a dark secret until the sur
prise is sprung Several applications
are also expected, as the contest be-
tween the two sides captained by DR..
DougalI and George Bowling Is wax
ing warm, and it shows that La Fiesta
has some live Woodman wires which,
however, do not cost the order any
thing. A goodly number Of applications
were taken in during october, but the
members expect to double the number
during November.
The gold stumps and emblamatic
watch fobs won by the members in
the recent contest have arrived and are
now ready for distribution
