camps in the city are watching the

tests in Vernon camp have demonstrat-
ed the sterling quality of the camp
timber, and that no point will be
yielded by either side without a strong
fight. Since January l fourteen appli-
cants' names have been voted on, be-

eight limitations with six certificates
now on hand.
Splendid reports come from the
camps at Ontario, Cotton, San Bernar-
dino, Redlands aid Riverside, where
Organizers G. e. and William Stretch
and K. Hollands are working. With
these organizers in the field it would be
strange, indeed, if other than good re-
ports could come as they have given
ample proof, individually and collec-
lively, in other fields, that results of
an eminently satisfactory character
follow their efforts to build up and
maintain camps of the Woodmen OF
the World. The joint initiation at Col
ton, the first week in March of San
Bernardino, Redlands and Cotton
camps gives promise of being a large
affair and an important event in the
history of the respective camps men,

camp will more than have its quota to
make up the 100 candidates expected to
be ON hand to be initiated
