fFA1ytf&A during the past week, ac-
kWN/AN companying j. o. Davis,
NA<<AW national lecturer, on his
S1~ visits TO the camps. Speak
ing of the progress Of Mod
ern Woodmen in California, he said:
I'VE now have more than 10000 men,
bers in this state in about rs camps.
In Los Angeles there are about 500
members, and the southern part of toe
state has considerably more than one
third the whole California member
ship.
las for the country at large, I am
sure we will pass the mark set at the
beginning of the year. mead Consul
Talbot asked for 10000 new members s.
During the first six months the num-
ber added was 10000, so 1t would not
surprise me If we come very close to
the 100000 mark by the close of the
year. Los Angeles and Southern Cali
fornia are doing their share in adding
to the list. hope to see substantial
additions all over the state.
1.-The Pacific IaSt shows UP very
strong when it comes to big camps. OF
the ten largest in the country five are
on the coast. Kansas City camp No.
2002, leads all with between 1900 ana
$500 members. The five big camps on
the coast are in Tacoma, Seattle, Spo-
kane and the two in Los Angeles, so
you can feel quite proud Of having two
of the ten largest camps of the order
right here in your city,"
