 the work of Damon lodge, and compli-
 mented the members upon their pro- Eress. and the interest they have man

 - Tn dwelling upon Pythianism he said,
 There is no man in the grand domain
 of Arizona who has done so much Tor PNhianism within the past ten years. who has so zealously advanced ihe interests of the order as has Prof
 J. D Loper." He then went on to ex- plain what good work MT. Loper had Accomplished. He then told the story
 of the founding of the order. in well chosen concise fashion that charmed
 his listeners. He made a special ap-
 peal to the sir knights in behalf of
 the fund which is being maintained i for the Pythian Home which is to be established by the Arizona lodges And in conclusion spoke again of one sir knight. R. L. c. White, who for twen-
