Moose Hunting Good At Craig

In his quest for new members for the Craig Lodge. Loyal Order of Moose, National Organizer, Johnson, met with great success and has secured the fifty members necessary to secure charter. Craig now enjoys the distinction of holding the record for quick institution of a fraternal lodge, the time, nine days, being the fastest for any lodge anywhere.
 The banquet and ball given after the installation of the second class of twenty-five is interestingly described by a correspondent as follows:-
 "The mellodeous strains of the accordian orchestra waited on their way between the raindrops, coaxed everybody out to the Moose dance Wednesday evening. Pap Caugh- rean, with his inimitable calling" aroused such interest in the vari- ous dances that an unanimous sigh was heard when supper was announced by Slatz Winthar at I2:3o but the Moose selected their partners and after the Chow Waltz marched to the banquet hall to the tune of You'll Come Back.' National Organizer, Johnson made some timely remarks when the company had been seated and then the Viands prepared by Caterer, Frank, began to disappear. Cigars were fol. lowed by toasts, solos and readings until , A. M. when with a rousing "Howdy Pap" that shook the block. Craig's social event Of the season ended"

On the resumption of the debate Win

he had not intended to seek a vote Of
censure with respect to the president of

time should be lost in endeavoring to dis
cover the cause of the disaster, They
had no right to blame anyone until they
