General Agent H. L. Vernon OF the
Santa Fo's local office believes his line
carried from Chicago to San Francisco

jcrity of tourists coming TO Honolulu
from the Middle West. AS proof OF
this he points to the following item in
the April number Of the Santa Fe
Magazine, distributed free by the sys-
tenn to its $4,000 employees every
month:
Many things go to prove that the
Santa Fee is by long odds the most
popular route between Chicago and the
Pacific. Concrete evidence is furnish
ed in the fact that between November
and February % we handled out OF
Chicago alone a total Of 700 extra Pull
mans. Theses extra cars were used
on first, second and third sections OF
the California Limited, as we'll as on
the de luxe on several occasions.
These figures do not include any OF
the regular equipment of these trains,
nor do they include any Of the extra
cars from Mimi eapolis. Kansas City or
Denver, of which we had quite num-
be-. All the other lines combined dur

REBEKAn LODGE GIVES ENTER
TAINMEkT AND SOCIAL

On Thursd ay evening MARCHES,
1917, Tygarts Valley Rebekah
Lodge No. l81 |. 0. O. F., gave
an entertainment and social.
Members of the subordinate and
encampment lodges |. 0. 0. F.,
being invited. they were permit
ted to bring a guest with them.
After about seventy-fve Re
bekahs', Odd fellows and friends
had assembled, j. +. McColluM
called the meeting to order and
madea few timely remarks in re-
gard to the object of Odd fellow
ship, which is Friendship, Love.
and Truth. Mrs. Eta Graham
was then called to the chair, and
acted as chairman throughout the
evening.
A short program was rendered
beginning with prayer by Rev.
Stoneking followed by short talks
by Rev. Vanscoy, Rev. Skaggs,
John McCollum and Rev. Stone
king. Next was recitation by
Mrs. McCollum.
The talks were all along the line
of Odd Fellowship, and We're en-
joyed by all present. The recita-
ton by Mrs. McCollum referred
to the organizing of the Rebekah
Lodge |. O. o. F. after the Odd
Fellows had bit off more than
they could chew, they decided to
ask the women to help them if
only just a few, but the women
did not stop with just few, but
kept on organizing new lodges.
and taking in new members until
now we have the great Rebekah
Lodge |. 0. 0. f.
The next was the best part, or
so it seemed to us hungry folkeS
and that was the eats served by
the committee on arrangements.
The committee was composed of
Mrs. John McCollum, Mrs. Clark
Cade, Mrs. r. G. Boyles, and
Misses Algie Werner and Alma
Mayo. They are to be congratu-
lated on the way they made the
arrangements, because there GER
tainly was plenty for everyone to
eat. ASK Rev. Stoneking if there
was enough to eat
Then some time was spent in
having a general good time. At
a late hour the closing ode of the
Rebekahs' was sung, and every
one declared that they had spent
a very pleasant evening.
