If, how ever, the member cannot attend he can send his family provided he gives his wife, son or daughter his card, without it they cannot be admitted.
 Must Get Coupons
 In order that the prophets and their families may enjoy all the attractions and privileges of the park, coupons will be issued upon proper identification. and will be good for all attractions, but at the same time nothing free without coupon. This rule is also positive.
 In making the rules the committee have in mind the protection of the prophets and that of their families, in that they would not be crowded out by outsiders and to give every one the op- portunity to enjoy the attractions. They say the success of the picnic large ly depends upon the cooperation of the prophets with the officers committees and others in charge of. the picnic.
 Martin Ringleberg, chairman of the general committee, states that one of the biggest problems of the picnic will be the cooking and serving of the bar becue, but he also states the problem has been met. Tents for the accommo- dation of the committee and corps of workers have been provided at the bar becue grounds and work on the pits and 50 forth will begin next week. He states that everything will be ready by August IA.
 Anniversary Ceremonial
 Monarch Hagy calls attention of the prophets to the big drive for candidates that is now on for the ceremonial on October 8, which will mark the second anniversary of Kamram Grotto. In order to make this a fitting event q class of 2500 candidates is the obiec- tive for this occasion. This ceremonial promises to be the biggest event in the history of Kamram, not only by reason of the big class, but from the fact that Grottos from Montgomery, Pensacola, New Orleans, Memphis. Nashville and Knoxville have been invited to be Kam- ram's guests on that occasion.
 One of the most stupendous parades ever witnessed on the streets of Bir- mingham will be staged, and regular carnival of fun and frolic is promised. Every prophet is asked to bring in at least one new member and it is believed that the number of candidates set will be exceeded on or before October 8,
