The Modern Woodn1en of America,
ewly-introduced order in the local
fraternal field, now has membership
of more than 125 and at every regular
meeting new members are voted for
and received into the membership. AT
the last meeting, F. d. Richards, rec
ognized as one of the best-versed men
in ritualistic work in. the city, was
unanimously chosen as commander,
and big things are expected of the
local branch during the new year At
the early January meeting, the install
lation of new officers will take place,
and thence members have promised to
work for the 200 mark very early In
1917. At the rate new members are
coming in, it appeas this mark will
be passed sooner than expected.
The Modern Woodmen had a special
inducement to merchants during the
past ten days, there having been an
especial effort made to draw into the
councils every eligible merchant IN the
city. Much success is reported to have
attended this effort, and scores of
names are to be shortly balloted on.
providing all prospective members live
up to their promise. In addition to the
merchants quite a number of citizens
in other lines are to be balloted on
at forthcoming meetings

One of the leading features in fra
ternal circles this week waa the two
day visit of Grand Chancellor Ernest
p Roberts, of Key West. to this city.
One of the many courtesies extended
Mr.. Roberts was the invitation Of
Mayor Hinrichs to visit the old penal
ship Success"
Grand Chancellor Roberts was pres
ent and participated in the large and
enthusiastic meeting of Damon Lodge,
No. 13. Tuesday night at their castle
hall on East Intendencia street, at
which convention one candidate was
initiated in the rank of page, and four
pages were conducted through the
mysteries of the rank of squire After
the initiatory services, Grand Chancel-
lor Roberts delivered a most excellent
address, which was well received and
keenly appreciated. His remarks on the
aims and object of the order win tend
to engender more promiscuousIy the
enthusiasm which now peIvades the
ranks of the Pythian knights.
Grand Prelate w. J. Williams, of

were present at this meeting, having

Under a special dispensation, the

for the month of December, and the
membership lists of both local camps

number having taken advantage of the
low rate to associate themselves with
this widely-known and growing order.
At meetings which will be held in

on, and the chopper goat is expected to

the uniform rank, and the possibility
of landing an even more suspicious

stands for. The monument over the
graves of the departed sovereigns are
another evidence of the Woodmen al
ways worthy of note, and the ladies
auxiliary has recently created a very
favorable impression with the public
in unwilling two beautiful shafts over
the graves of departed members. All
this speaks volumes for the good of

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Dec 23.-There were
no cables to influence sentiment either
way in the cotton market this morning
while the trade found no fresh incen-
tive in the political situation and
there was evidently little disposition
to enter upon new commitments before
Christmas. The opening was drm at
an advance of IT to 33 points on COW

from Wall street sources and which
was promoted by bullish weekend
statistics. The advance to 1915 for
March and 17.o6 for July attracted
considera BILE realizing by recent buyers
for reaction however. and prices
eased of Il to 30 points shortly after
the call.
The offerings responsible for the
early setback were quickly absorbed
and there wer. sensational advances
later in the morning on active cover
ing by Wall street. western ana
southern and local houses March
contracts sold UP to 100 and July

the market closed steady at net ad-
vance Of 50 to so points.
