 Have Growing Pains
 Croans and means of the weary, tor
 tured noVices as they trOd the burning sands of the desert, eminated from the
 guarded interior of the Armory at First and Polk streets during the earlier hours of Thursday evening.
 Twice, and more, the hands of the
 clock circled it's face, and still the cacOphOnous suspirations continued.
 Overcome by the terrors of the des
 ert waste and sinking with despair and despondency, many a quailing novice was given first aid that he might con-
 tinue the journey. Cameps milk in quantities was hastened to him, and thus fortified the entire caravan was enabled to reach the oasis of the ban
 quet table at a few minutes after Il o'clock.
 That the novices might be more en- cOuraged and better fortified for the tortuous journey of Thursday even- ing, each was sent the following salu-
 tation:
 "Novices were born for our delec- | tation. They are the greatest joy of our lives Poor innocent and neglect ed waifs, they come to us in fear and trembling, pleading to be taken in and | shaped alright in the great mold of fra | ternity. Is there a meteor flash in the l sky? It is the heels of a novice swung around the moon (AshmeS). Is there l lightning gleam on the horizon? It is the frightened face of a novice l hurled through space. Is there tre- mendOus crash that startles the uni verse? It is a novice meeting a goat. l Is there a wall of anguish jingled with a roar of laughter It is a novice salut- ing his future brothers. Without you, o Novice, the Shrine would be like an empty boiler, and the caravan would move without music or melody. Come to us, then. o Novice, not later than 6:30 o'clock D. m., hat in hand and heart in your throat, step ping lightly like a timid lark on a straw of wheat. A hundred hands will reach for you, draw you into the great bosom of Fraternity and toss you up- wards where the stars shine and the
 birds sing. Be submissive and no harm will befall you; be humble and
 we will call you blessed be alert and
 we will enjoy your evOlutions into the
 great fold that is about to enclrcle you. The crash of many thunders, the swish of whiskers on many goats, the
 roar of laughter from many throats, the applause of many hands are yours, all yours-and the tents of the faithful
 will be forever open unto you. Banquet at Armory
 The banquet was also held at the
 armory Illustrious Potentate Henry A. Morgan presided. Among those who responded to toasts were General L. H. Manning of Tucson and Thomas J. Norris of Prescott. More than 300 were seated at the tables. which were lavishly decorated with flowers. The Patriotic Ceremonial of Fl

Colonel Fps Ran dolph, high priest of Fl Zaribah Tenn pie, who was to have taken an i'm portant part in this session, was un- | able to attend, being detained at Tuc- son by important railroad business, Business Session Held At the business session of the Tenn
 pie held at II o'clock Thursday morn
 ing, one of the most important things l considered was the plans for the com- l pletion of the Shrine temple in Phoe-
 nix, site for which already has been purchased on Central avenue, adjoin- | the Arizona School of Music.
 In building this temple, according to | Henry A. Morgan. illustrious potentate, | it is the intention of the Shrine to bear 1 in mind the need of Phoenix for a place in which to hold large gather | ings, such as the International Dry
 Farming Congress, large conventions, political meetings and also operas and
 pretentious dramatic and musical pro- auctions which are at present unable A REC TO CE NH S0T
