TELL ABOUT GRAND AERIE.

Delegates sent to the, National
Grand Aerie by San Antonio Aerie
No. 20, Fraternal Order of Eagles
have returned from Denver and report
very pleasant trip. Past President
c. II. Bruno Rose was again placed
on the ritualistic committee.
Junior Past President Hugo Claus
made a report that shows the order
growing at rapid rate. There are
now approximately half million
members, and the finances of the
order are in good shape. The old age
pension sponsored by the Eagles is
finding favor in every state except
one, where the governor opposes II.
He will soon be succeeded by a man
who is favorable to the plan.
One of the most impressive Incl.
dents connected with the convention
was the silent tribute paid to the
memory Of President Harding. The as
semblage stood with bowed heads in
token of its respect for him.
The report praised the work that
has been done by Secretary William
L. Souter and Past President Gus
Guide. 1t stated that 5000 marchers
took part in the parade which wa'
featured by the brilliant uniforms OF
the marchers. More than a dozen bands
took part in the parade.
A rising vote of thanks was given
Delegates Claus, Rose and Souter by
the order.

attention of officers in the Depart
