Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-23

| the members here feel justly proud OF
| his splendid work.
In Los Angeles county the Woodmen
| have been very active. During the
year preceding the head camp meet
| ing at Peoria in 1908, the district in
which this county is comprised led
all others of the country in number
of adoptions, having $50 to its credit.
During the year just closed the gains
were about 500. j. o. Burgess, district
deputy in charge, has been in Los An
geles about three years, having come
here from Nebraska. His system of
work has been eminently successful,
as shown by results.
Five camps in Los Angeles have COM
bined nearly 1000 members. Golden
State camp No. lilo leads the state with
over 1900 members, while Pacific camp
| comes next with 100. Golden State, it
is presumed, will again have the ban
ner for the greatest net gain during
the year.
A feature of the open meeting to
be held February 8 will be presenta-
tions of prizes by Head Consul Talbot.
Deputy Burgess at the beginning of
last year made the following offer:
The camps were arranged in three
classes, A, 3 and C, in order that the
smaller camps might have an equal
cudilC6 with Llle larger OiItS TO VIII

newly adopted beneficial members, in
either class A, B or c., and given to
the deputy or member who has secured
for the winning camp, in either class,
the largest number of applications that
/ shall have been adopted and certi-
ficates delivered applicants for said
| winning camp, from March l, 1909, to
December 81, 1909.

more than 1000 members.

| A Modern Woodman that has reason
/ to be proud of his record for the year
1909 is Camp Deputy Julien A. Herbe-
| lin of Golden State camp No. 7110. That
he has accomplished something that no
| other deputy has accomplished in the
! history of woodcraft in California by
writing in every month more adoptions
than any other deputy in the state is a
| great achievement. The serious express
sion you see on his face in the picture
| accompanying this article was caught
| just as Julien was about to tackle some
bright, intelligent young fellow who
had an idea that some other kind OF
insurance was better than fraternal and
who, he was aware. had a mind of his
own with which he would have to deal
But when Julien gets that look on his
face there is no use; one might Is wei
give upl It's either get into the great
est fraternal insurance society in the
world, or death by the jaw-bone route
He getsShis man!
