Anniversary Committee Meets.

The Fiftieth Anniversary Committee
met in regular session last Monday even
ing and listened to an enthusiastic ad-
dress by Hon. William F. Broening
chairman of the Supreme Lodge COM
mission, who came over from Baltimore
for the purpose of getting into closer
touch with the work of the local COM
mittee and acquainting them with the
progress his committee has made in ar
ranging the program for the week Of the
golden Jubilee.
He announced that 1t had Just been
learned that the rank team OF Feter
Woodland Lodge, of Lynn. Mass, could
not be here to exemplify the work Of
the first rank, as has been quite ex-
tensively advertised, and for a time
much disappointment was manifested
among the members of the local commit
tee, but when 1t was learned that an in
vitation had been extended to the team
Of Mountain City Lodge, of Frederick,
Nd, to supply this part of the program
and that the invitation had been ac-
cepted, what at first seemed almost a
defeat to the efforts and promises of the
local committee up to this time, turned
to restoration OF confidence that this
part of the proceedings will be amply
and satisfactorily cared for, as Noun
tain City is classed among the best teams
in the country.
ne beautiful and impressive work of
this team has often been Commented upon
by the many knights who went from
here to Baltimore a few years ago to
see them confer the rank of page upon
a class of about ], 200, and the Frederick
papers of last week announce that rlany
additional and attractive features viii
be added to their exemplification or the
rank in Washington next February.

disappointment Turned Into low.
Many times the plans Of the organiza-
tions as well as individuals are unset
through disappointments, but discourage
ments need not necessarily follow as a
result. Neither will the knights of this
domain allow themselves to become dis

nouncements of the early week that two
OF the country's great rank teams would
not be able to be here in February. par-

jubilee will be fully repaid for the time
