Fl Yemmah No 65 at the i K. P hall. The meeting will be rel ative to the ceremonial session which 1 ia to take place during Fair week | This rite is to be made a great sue ! cess as no less than a thousand doi- i lars will be spent for it's perfection and production. The D. Q. K KS are 1 the real social and active side Of l the K. P.'s and their movements are | watched by members of the different l subsidiary orders with much interest and appreciation.
