lodge.
At this session Of the grand lodge,
Herbert c. Ring, Of Cedar Rapids, will
be installed as grand master. Mr..
Ring is the present deputy grand mas
ter.
One Of the principal matters to be
considered by the grand lodge is the
location Of the old folks home. The
aged members Of the order and cared
for by the order, are now housed in the
orphans home at Mason City. This is
not satisfactory, and the erection Of a
separate home Is under consideration.
A committee appointed at a former
grand lodge will undoubtedly recon-
mend that home be erected on the
same land on which the orphans home
at Mason City stands. The tract con-
sists Of 240 acres, and the committee
feels 1T would be unwise to spend
money for another location. But the
grand master is understood to be in
favor Of selecting another city for the
old folks home. A contest in grand
lodge will undoubtedly develop.
