 EVERYBODY D0|N' II

Mesa is doing the cleaning-up act, getting ready to don it's best bib and tucker and look it's prettiest for the preparedness celebration on July S-4. Some lots that have been proverbial- ly unsightly have been cleaned up and several patches have been put on the cement crossings on Main street and in the business center, work which if it had been done last winter during the rains. would have saved several swear words from peo pie who fell in. But it's all right Mesa is going to look just about all right on the Fourth. Local drygoods men have been asked to put can vassers out over town in an endeavor to have all residents provide them selves with flags for display at their homes There will be one and only one pay feature provided by the city and that will be the two games of baseball. Except for the payment of necessary expenses, all money re- ceived from the ball games will go to provide equipment for the Mesa Home Guards.

point and gathering a band to advance on Prescott and hold a Grand Forntier ceremonial in that city on the night of July ,.
 We are in receipt of a letter from Notary T. H. Bates of Prescott, chair man of the arrangement committee, who in part has this to say:
 Brothers, Prescott Lodge No 1 has completed arrangements with Fl Ye- mamah Temple No. 65, D. O. K. K. to hold a ceremonial in Prescott on July 5th during our Frontier Days celebra tion. We desire tt make this the grandest and best ceremonial ever held in the state and would earnestly re- uest that you cooperate with us in making this the event sought for.
 ''Inasmuch as there are to be reduced rates from all points in the state for this celebration. we would urge that you send several representatives and candidates to attend this ceremonial"
 All right, Notary Bates, we will be there, with everything shining. All our regalia has been recruited and the white leggings have a new coat of starch. The officers and especially the secretary of the Temple are devot- ing overtime to meet the wishes of the northern votaries, and believe me it will be some ceremonial. With the CO., operation of the committee on arrange ments in Prescott composed of Chair man T. H. Bates and Votaries c. G. Sharpnach, I. N. Hall and w. w. Dunn {: oh, yes. and Notary Davidson, we are bound to get there.
 I also wish to mention the fact that the votaries turned out in nice style at the picnic last Thursday evening.
 Watch the papers for further pub licity on the ceremonial at Prescott We mention it r.w so the vJ aries will be all a state of preparedness when t.e event takes place.

WooDmEN OF THE WORLD

The members of Phoenix Camp No ,, Woodmen of the World, are proving that they are imbued, not only with the spirit of fraternalism, but also with that stern spirit of patriotism which will inspire them. if need be, to take up arms to defend their country anu their flag. The sentiment that pre- vades the camp was easily understood or last Monday evening when there was suggested the formation of com- pany of home guards from the mem bership of the Woodmen. The response was both enthusiastic and patriotic
 Mr. G. V. Gulley who has had much experience of late in drilling home guards was called before the camp .n open session, and he outlined. clearly ard comprehensively. the requirements for guard. and what were the obsta- cles 10 overcome in the formation anl development of the company.
 The camp now has a uniformed team of sixteen men and a captain
 and this team, through it's regular drill fer the past several months in initia.ory work. has become proficient in elementary instructions in military work, and with this team as a nucleus there could be builded about it from the membership Of the Woodwen onr of the best and most efficient of the home guard companies in the state.
 It is difficult to understand why such movement in fraternal organiza- ticns have not ere now been instituted. The experience of a century has been that fraternalism and patriotism are kindred sentiments. In lodges are founC the hest of America's young manhood. Fraternal institutions have the material out of which to construci organizations for our defense. Mem oers must pass medical examination, and so are physically superior to that portion of our citizens not banded to- gether by fraternal ties. They must pass the closest scrutiny at the ballot box, and so must be presumed morally eGnal or superior to the non lodge ele ment. These qualities then combined material from which to make our na : ton strong iE manhood, strong in va Tor and strong in defense, and calls for better support from government than in the past has been given.
 t. I recall that in 1898 when the call to a1ms was soured to revenge the deat,, of our gallant boys who went down
 with the Maine the Woodmen fodges of the United States offered to the service of the nation the uniformed ] teams and companies within the en-
 tire jurisdiction. At that time the

LODGE LORE

They were patriotic; they were from the best homes and repre- scented the brain and brawn of Amer ica's young manhood and no doubt to- day the uniformed membership of Woodmen camps, equal in stature and morale with their brothers of the last century, would if the call of arms was sounded, respond with a patriotism it's devotees to be true to fraternalism. true to home, true to loved ones. and greatest of all, tc be true to their na- ton and their flag. and it was this evening last. and will in the future teaching which inspired on Monday inspire an endeavor to perfect them selves in that which will make them of greatest service to their country, if their heip at any time should be demanded.

 Several of tEe boys have been absent for several meetings, and assert tha. they have been kept away because of weakness of their eyes. If Sovereign Beller had been one of the number no doubt his explanation would be ac- ccpted.
 Sovereign Wiley is back at his poss smiling and happy. Others who have not been present for many many meetings were in attendance last Mon- day night to munch down few sand wiches, smoke cigars. and drink Dell aware Punch. Even Dr. Colt Hughes came, and he looks like he was well fed at horne.
