Arizona,s Record Good

Mrs. Bourne is pleased with the success that has attended the Bro- therhood work in Arizona in the last year not only in the organization of the exposition associations but in the lodge work as well. On her pres ent trip through the state since Jan uary 1st she has organized two new lodges. one at Douglas and one at Tucson. In the past year and a half 1900 new members have been taken into the Brotherhood in Arizona.
 Throughout the nation similar growth has been experienced. Sev- eral thousand new members were taken in at one time in Southern Michigan when the Brotherhood took oyer a small organization.
 After attending the meetings of the two local lodges here Mrs. Bourne will visit the northern state lodges. and will return to Los Angeles. Cal. for the supreme session held in that city March 9th.

Action of importance taken at the last meeting of the local lodge of Elks was the determination to pur- chase an Elks burying ground in Greenwood cemetary and under the direction of the trustees to at once purchase one block with an option on three adjacent blocks. The re- suit will be a large Elks' plot, rec tangular in form which in time can be ornamented by a suitable monu- ment of the order. In the past there has been no regularity in selecting the last resting places of departed brothers and they have been located among other individual graves as ne- cessity and convenience happened to ever it is so desired by the relatives Of one departing he will be laid to rest among those of his brothers who have gone before. Thus on memorial day and on other occa sions. efforts can be centralized. It is also expected that the same neighborhood will be selected by Elks who desire to locate lots for their families. In other cities this has been generally done but it is mat ter that has only just been given sufficient attention by the Phoenix lodge to bring about the desired re- suits although it has been previously considered A social session will fol- low the next meeting.
