Secretary Fuelbier reported that ali
aeries in the state have become affil-
lated with the grand body. When Is
per cent of the aeries of any state have
joined the grand aerie it then becomes
necessary fer the remaining 25 per
cent to get under the wings of the
order At the last annual meeting in
Springfield it was reported that the
state had the required Is per cent and
/ it was requested that every effort be
made to gather the remaining fiedg-
lings into the nest. Secretary Fuel
bier has succeeded in doing this, and
now there are IS recognized aeries in
/ the state.
While the Illinois state aerie had
/ the required number of aeries affiliat-
ed last year" said Secretary Fuelbier
