WOODMEN OF THE WORLD

tomorrow night La Fiesta camp will
celebrate Washington's birthday with
stag party. An interesting program
has been arranged with enough of va
riety about it to interest every mem
Der and his friends. The camp expects
to secure 100 applications and a large
crowd of strangers is expected. The
program will consist of music by the
orchestra, several selections by Fred
Pfennig, the musical prodigy of the
camp; Organizer Stretch will deliver a
fraternal address and the piece de re-
SiStanee will be a boxing contest be-
tween two well known disciples or
physical culture. La Fiesta camp is
famous for its entertainments and this
one promises to excel all others. This
camp is taking the lead in the matter
of applications. In the last two
months it has to its credit one-third of
all of the applications secured among
the fourteen camps in the Los Angeles
district and five new applications were
secured last Monday night. By the
way, that meeting will long be re-
membered as it was one of the finest
fraternal gatherings ever witnessed.
P. G. G. F. E. Pierce, vice president of
the City and County bank, delivered
stirring address on fraternity and
the old war horse, Roy Langworthy,
made an inspiring talk. The late
Judge z. e. Selph was an honored
member of La Fiesta camp and reso-
lutions of coincidence were adopted.
