The incoming officers had prepared

After the installation of the officers
! Of Sunny South camp, Consul Reynolds
| Of Golden State camp performed his
last official act as consul of the camp
he has so successfully directed through
one Of the best and most successful
| years in its history in calling the camp
to order and introducing Neighbor Bur-
CESS. district deputy and installing off,
Ger for the camp.
| Neighbor Burgess is one of the best
installing officers in the society, and
his manner Of administering the obi
cations has deep and lasting impress
| sion on those who receive them from
him. The ceremony was Impressive to
all in the hall.
Captain Gregory acted as installing
| escort, performing his last service as
captain of the team, having declined to
accept reappointment.
The following officers were installed:
| Consul, John A. Myers; advisor, w. H
Taggart; clerk, J. 1. Taylor; banker
| A. B. Copper; escort, r. S. Carrothers;
Waterman. N. o. Hosler; sentry

The first official act of the new consul
was the appointment Of a new chief
| forester. Neighbor Billy Osborn was
| the choice of the consul for the i'm
portant position of defending the cup
for the camp, and the applause that
greeted the announcement showed that
| 1t was a popular choice with the camp
The new chief forester has made an en-
viable record as sergeant of his team,
| having made perfect scores in several
| competitive drills.
The clerk Of the camp was then called
to read a letter just received from d.
rector E. E. Murphy of Leavenworth
Kas., congratulating the camp on hav-
| ing sent in the largest donation Of any
camp in the Jurisdiction of Woodcraft
for the sanatorium Of the society at
| Colorado Springs. AS q mark Of ap-
| probation for the large donation, $3.50
| (there will be more to follow, as the
amount sent represents but about
three-fourths Of the amount appropri-
ated by the camp for that purpose), he
stated that a cottage to be known as
cottage of Golden State camp, No. ITO,
M. w. A, would be built.
The Royal Neighbors of Sunny South
camp presented the installing officer
| and the ceremonial marshal with beau
tiful floral officeings as a mark Of ap-
probation for their services.
On behalf of Golden State camp DR..
c. W. Allen presented Past Consul
Reynolds WIFI a beautiful SOlQ WaIcn
bearing the emblem Of the society on
the cover and inscribed in the inside,
the presentation and date.
Neighbor Reynolds acted as If he had
two or three good sized potatoes lodged
| in his throat for a time, but after a
while he got his breath and tried to
| talk, but a made a failure of it. Frank
did not make a single failure while in
| the chair, but the first thing he under
| took after he left the office he failed
| in-f1at. But the members understood
| the reason, and clapped their hands
and laughed and jested with good-na-
tured banter, and maybe cried q little
in sympathy, and all enjoyed it i'm
mensely, and excused Frank from max
| ing more eloquent remarks.
The music for the installation was
excellent, as was also that furnished
for the dance by the Witsell orchestra.
