ON TO ANNISTON
 PLAN OF GROTTO
Membership Of Kamram Approaching The 5000
 Mark

Following the big ceremonial session of Kamram Grotto, Mystic Order of Yelled Prophets, Thursday, May 2S, when GAO candidates took the degrees, the grotto will make a pilgrimage to Anniston, Wednesday, June II, where ceremonial session will be held and a class of 300 or more candidates will be initiated.
 This class at Anniston will bring the membership of Kamram Grotto well over the 5000 mark set by Monarch Jesse l., Hagy, when he was installed last February as Kamram's. leader for year. At the time Monarch Hagy took hold Kamram had a membership of 6.310. Following the ceremonial of May 2S, the membership went to 7,S10, \ a net -gain-of more than 300 in a little over three months.
 In addition to the ceremonial at An niston on June Il, the various grotto clubs in the towns of north Alabama within the jurisdiction of Kamram Grotto are getting up classes and it is probable that during the summer months ceremonials will be held at these places.
 Monarch Hagy stated that after the meeting of the GrottO council at Indian apOlis the latter part of June it is probable that Kamram Grotto with its officers and uniform bodies will go to Montgomery and put on a big cere- monial for Hinda GrottO at that point. He stated that the grotto had many other activities in view for the summer, including entertainments and picnic for the women and children.
 A special train will leave the Termi- nal station Wednesday mornin. June II, at 10 o'clock for Anniston and will arrive in that city at 12 o'clock. The delegation will be met at the station by the Grotto club of Anniston of which Julian $. Spearman, past grand master of Alabama, is president. A parade will be formed, headed by the grotto band. followed by the officers, uniformed bodies, grotto clubs and candidates and will march through the principal streets of Anniston. At the conclusion of the parade barbecue dinner will be served.
 In the afternoon at 3 o'clock, the ceremonial session will begin in the high school auditorium. Paraphernalia and equipment for properly conferring the degrees will be carried from Birming- ham on the special train. On the re- turn trip the train will leave Anniston at 8 o'clock and will arrive in Bir- mingham at 10 o'clock. p. m. The fare for the round trip will be $3.75.
 In addition to the officers and uniformed bodies of Kamram Grotto a large delegation of members is expected to attend the meeting of the supreme grotto council, which will convene in Indianapolis, June 9, 24 and 9. A special train has been chartered to carry the Birmingham delegation, consisting of 15 steel Pullman cars and will leave the Louisville and Nashville station Sunday, June 22, at 5 o'clock p. m., arriving in Indianapolis at 6 o'clock q. m., June 23.
 The train will leave Indianapolis for the return trip June 9 and will arrive in Birmingham at 9 20 o'clock Thurs day morning, June 2G.
 Reservations can now be made through F. B. Keiser, 1920 American Trust building, chairman of the trans portatiOn committee.
