A Prosperous
New Order

The writer had the pleasure of at
tending meeting of the Pennington
Chapter of the Order of DeMolay in
the Masonic temple Monday evening
and was most agreeably surprised at
the understanding and enthusiasm
displayed by the youthful members in
the work they so creditably perform.
The Farmington branch of this order
has had but few meetings, but a
number of the members act like "old
heads" in the work.
Judging from the number of appli-
cations for membership presented
Monday evening, the local order is en-
joying a rapid growth. which should
increase as the excellent work Of the
order is better understood. Being an
auxiliary to the Masonic order, its
teachings are along the lines most
needed to be strengthened with the
younger generation.
