Hagy, in reference to the dual event scheduled for October 8, when Kamram win celebrate It's second anni- versary, md stage monster eere- monial.

 Kamram is making history for the Grotto order not only in Alabama but throughout the United States; It has the second largest membership of any Grotto in the world, and from present indications it's officers have every req son to believe that when the anniver- sary class is initiated it will take first place, and rank as Monarch Hagy ex- pressed it, mot only the largest but the best Grotto on earth" s
 Elaborate plans are being made for the anniversary ceremonial. It will be a civic as well as fraternal event. The city will be decorated and a monster parade staged. Its success will place Kamram Grotto and the city of Bir- mingham on the map as never before. In that the proceedings will be wheel, wire and wireless to every part of the American continent.
 The letter of Monarch Hagy follows 1:
 Dear Prophet:
 Did you ever undertake the accom- plishment of big proposition and bring it to successful conclusion. If you have, you do doubtless remember how good you felt when you realized that you had put it over. You walked around with your chin up and your chest out. On the other hand, if fail ure was the result of your effort, re- member your chagrin; you felt like crawling in hole and pulling the hole after you,
 Prophet, we have undertaken a big proposition, that of raising class of 2,50O candidates for October 8. We have made our boasts that we can do it. Every Grotto in the country is watching us. We have got to make good that is all there is to it. If we accomplish this big thing we will be the largest grotto on earth not only the largest but the best. It will be eyour grotto that has done this won derful thing and you will have a per- feet right to go around with you chin up and your chest out. But if we should fail after inviting several of our sister Grottoes and the officers of the supreme council to be our guests on October 8 to see us initiate class of 2,500 candidates, we will be all so ashamed of ourselves that we will feel like crawling in hole.
 ''When we undertook to raise this class, we did so believing that every member of Kamram Grotto is 100 per cent prophet. That his veins pull sate with the red blood of virile man. hood, and that he has the interest of Kamram Grotto so to heart that when he is called upon to perform service that he will respond willingly and cheer fully, as every good prophet should. We need the help of every member of Kamram Grotto to enable us to put this proposition over, we need your help right now, today. Get an applica- tion and send it in at once. That is all we ask of you. We will gladly do the rest.
 We have. one month to go in this drive and you will have to act quickly. The last date for the reception, of ap- plications is September 26. All appli- cations must be in the hands. of the secretary on. that date. The proposi- tons is now in your hands, won't .yUu kelp us. t.. sfbs.4.
 Yours in Good Fellowship,
 JESSE L.. HAGY.'
