ter Convention

Lancaster, Pa. Aug. 21.-The most
coveted State Office in all Pythian

after several ballots he was elected
grand inner guard at the first busi-

Two more cities have entered the

the list as far as can be learned from
different representatives now stands
South Bethlehem, Scranton, Johns
town and Philadelphia The competi-
tion for the honor is likely to be very
keen and will not be decided until
the last day of the convention.
At the balloting for grand outer
guard a three cornered fight devel-
oped between L. R. Evans, w. NJ.
Cherry and A. W. Figley. On the first
three ballots no decision had been
reached but from all indications A.
w. Figley has the lead on his op-
ponents.
Chancellor Daugherty read his an
nual report at Tuesdays meeting.
and gave an outline of the work~ac-
complished by the order since the
last convention at Bradford. He
pointed out that despite the war and
the influenza epidemic which made
big inroads into the organization, the
Knights of Fythias are in better
condition to-day than ever before.
The Pennsylvania order alone had
5000 men either on the firing
line in France or in training camps
preparing for overseas duty. In the
supreme domain more than $4,000
members were in the national SER
vice, Mr.. Daugherty said.
