Woodmen of the World

Reports are coming from different parts of Arizona and New Mexico field of Woodcraft of decided advances and splandid gains in building up of the order. So far this year the order has made @ greater gain than any years in it's history. A big contest is on with all deputies and camps to put the big thing over for @ class of 250 new mem- bers. One deputy says that he'll win out and if any man beats him he must roOst in some place besides his bed. Another deputy writes, if any man beats him he'll have to travel in some thing faster than a Ford.
 It is a strange truth that facing the all absorbing thought of the war con- ditions upon us. when men are being taken from our midst and great labor ,rou5les in many parts of the field, and a continuous raising of large sums of money for the different phases of the war, the order is in a more healthful and prosperous condition than ever be- fore.
