ten new members secured $500 suit
of clothes; for fifteen new members
secured. $1,000 suit of clothes; for
twenty new members secured $4,000
suit of clothes.
These prizes will be a very great in
centive to enthusiastic work by MEM
bers, and should cause a flood of new
applications during the campaign Just
beginning. However the handspring
of all our progress is Sovereign NJ L.
Stewart, the state manager. Many
others gave of their effort to prevent
our losing the head camp, but il was
the untiring work of the state manager
that saved the day. His kilograms Of
protest to the sovereign commander
were so pointed that the sending of
them might have endangered his of
fetal position with the institution, yet
he faltered not in his duty, and it was
largely due to his urgent solicitations
that all is as it should be-
1t is truly inspiring the way other
camps in the Salt River valley come
to the aid of Phoenix camp when
there is need. Mesa camp has ad-

of the head camp session a very live
one What an exhibition of enthusi-
asm and progress that would be if
there was class of three hundred TO

of these are offered by Woodcraft.

{ On last Monday evening the sick
committee made report of having Wis
tied two or three Woodmen who were
more or less seriously indisposed, and
proper arrangements were made to do
LOT edcH OF tnem some act or Kind
ness. Sovereign Wilson was appointed
a committee of one to secure flowers
and present same to those confined
to bed, and his labor of love was well
done. Sovereign Triesch, in room No.
II at the Sisters hospital. was par
ticularly appreciative of his very pref
ty bouquet Of carnations. True frater-
nalism is in presenting bouquets of
flowers to the living, and in doing
kindnesses to the bereaved in times of
| sorrow. The Woodmen Of Phoenix are
true fraternalists.
