Although oratory was partially dis

applauded the spirit of cooperation ex-
tended him in the past year and out
lined future work of the order in a
most proficient way. He commended
especially the outstanding services
rendered during the past year of Chap
lain Howard Dennis, who untiringly
has given much of his time to visiting
the sick and distressed members of the
order; the efficient administration of
the board of trustees of last year, and
the invincible services of Fred R. Bahr

that Kenosha aerie is in most excel
lent condition, financially and other
wise. Kenosha aerie is rated as the
third largest in the state of Wisconsin

try in point of financial assets. A let

and progressiveness of Kenosha aerie.
