While the report of the Great
Keeper of Records, Mrs. H. B.

success of the Order, does not show
an increase in membership during the

that prevail throughout the entire
Reservation.

ness, a great deal of work for the fu-
ture success of the Order and for its
upbuilding was accomplished. A res
olution was adopted instructing the
great keeper of records tt subscribe
