SOW ereign Nealon spoke of the member ship campaign which the Phoenix camp launched two years ago, when the membership was only 15S. and which resulted in increasing the mem bership until now the Phoenix Camp No has membership of about 450. As we more than trebled our member ship then we can easily double it dur ing this, campaign and reach the 1000 mark. We have not only increased our membership but we have developed fine degree team with handsome uni forms, who furnish some beautiful drills for entertainment of the camp.
 The Woodmen of the World offers many Inducements for a man to join.
 There is the protection for his loved
 ones and the old age protection for himself Interesting talks we're made by Sovereign Gilbert of Glendale, Sow ereign Spratlin of the Roosevelt school. Sovereign Lavin made brief
 address and told some good stories.
 Sovereign Spratlin said that he was
 member of several orders, and that he has insurance in several old line com
 panies, but that he thinks more of his insurance and of the fraternal spirit
 of the Woodmen of the World than of
 all the others Sovereign Lavin
 showed how the old line companies are
 charging from $50 to $100 pe: thou-
 sand extra for men who go to war
 while the Woodmen of the World is
 charging only 10 cents per month of
 each member, regardless of the amount
 of insurance he carries in the order.
 The feature of the evening was the
 flying trip Of Governor Campbell from
 Tempe where he was called on off
 cial business, and from whence he
 came on record time, about 21 min
 utes, to attend the meeting of the
 Woodmen of the World camp. of
 which he is. member. The governor said that the trip was uneventful ex- cept that two or three motor cops stopped his car in it's rapid flight and demanded why he was breaking the speed limit in such a frightful manner, and when he told them that he was
 hastening to fill an engagtment to speak and eat ice cream and cake with the Woodmen of the World. they did
 not arrest him. but let him go on his way The governor said, 'It is nice l to stand in with the motor cops"
 | Governor Campbell said that he had | been boosting so much lately for the | Liberty loan that he could scarcely l talk of anything else That he thought | it was every mans duty to subscribe | to the loan just to the amount of his
 ability. He said that in this member l ship campaign just being launched he | thought that we should have no trout 1 ole in doubling our membership. No l man in Arizona should fail to join this great fraternal order nor should he | fail to buy a Liberty bond. While he 1 came to the w. o. W. camp primarily | just to be with the members, he | pledged his support of the movement to double the membership, and that he
 had induced several members to join | the Woodmen of the World last year. 1 This year he would secure double that | number of new members.
 Cigars were supplied the members | early in the evening, and at the close l each sovereign was supplied with a | large dish of ice cream and a gener- ous piece of cake. A fine spirit of fra Eternity and good fellowship pervaded 1 the assembly and all went away happy and determined to bring several new | members in the next few months.
