tioT will be i.eii . elect a successor
to I. o. McGrath, who is retiring from
t., secretary jh.c owing TO pressu O
of business affairs which precludes
the giving OF the necessary time and
attention to the office to which he
was reelected this spring. Thus far
but one candidate for the office has
appeared, Eugene Cox, though nom
nations do not close until the ballot
is taken at the Tuesday night meet
ing. Mr.. Cox has been highly sue
cessful as chairman of the entertain
ment committee and has won for him
self the reputation of being one Of
the most energetic and SUCCESSFUL
workers in the lodge. In addition to
the craftsmanship of the entertain
ment committee re is now Esquire.
The resignation OF Mr. McGrath
was received with general regret by
the lodge for the worth OF the SER
vices which he has rendered during
his incumbency in office is generally
recognized as was shown by the flat
tering vote he received when re-elec-
ted to office.

D. o. x. X. PLANS

While no definite announcement
has as yet been made by the knights
of Pythias for the conyocation Of the
ID. o. X. K in this city. it is stated
that it will not occur before May 20
and will probably occur soon after
that date. 1t is necessary to have
a class of at least fifty ready for
initiation and that number is now
being rapidly approached in this city
alone and numerous additions to the
ranks of proposed initiates are ex-
pected from Tombstone, Douglas and
Cananea. 4 delegation from Bisbee
visited the Douglas lodge recently
and wheels were set amoving there
at that time. The matter has already
been taken up at Tombstone but in
its furtherance delegation of local
Knights is to go to the historic old
camp and accelerate action there. 1t
is further planned for a committee
from Bisbee to go to Cananea and
take the matter up fully. When this
has been done and arrangements
made that will gather a large class
at time certain the final plans for
the session here which will bring
many visitors to the district and furn-
ish fun for people generally, since the
parade and initiation of the d. o. X.
X. is sight worth the seeing, will e,
completed. A banquet is to be tie
closing feature Of the Big Noise
which the Knights are now contem-
plating for the entertainment of the
visiting members of the ID. o. K.

LODGES REAP PROFIT

Both Moose and Elks reaped a pro-
fit from the ball game that was held
last Sunday. The agreement was that
the gate receipts and receipts from
the sale of refreshments, after paying
a certain sum to the tri town league
and the expenses attendant upon the
game, for advertising etc, should be
divided up between the two lodges,
60 per cent to the winner and 40 per
cent to the loser. Thus the Moose
get the long end of the purse. II
is understood that the shares OF the
two lodges amounted approximately
to 1925 and $50. In poitt1t of attend
ance. the game was all that could
be asked, much larger than the fore
going statement OF receipts would in
dictate for the fair sex was admitted
free by the two lodges which showed
their gallantry on this occasion in
that way. Now it so happens that
some of the best fans of the district
are to be found in the fair sex and it
is a conservative statement when Ii
is said that fully half OF the specta-
tors who entered the gate at Warren
Park were of the sex that still is
without the right of suffrage. IL is
claimed by those who are eager for
the almighty dollar that the two
lodges overdid hospitality and that
there would have been as large. or
nearly as large a crowd had every
one paid and a greater sum for divi-
sion.
