GRAND LODGE, REBEKAH
ASSEMBLY, CANTEENSAND
GRAND ENCAMPMENT WILL
BE HERE FOR THREE DAYS

Final arrangements for state
Odd Fellows convention here
have been made, and everything
is now ready to receive and en-
tertain the visitors next week.
The number has been cOnserVa-
lively estimated at 500.
Reservations for rooms have been
pouring in for the last few weeks,
some asking for reservations not
only during the three days of the
convention, but for several days
longer, indicating that many are go
ing to take this opportunity to look
us over and enjoy some of our cli-
mate, water, scenery, etc. These peo-
pie come from almost every town of
any size in the state and will take
back to their homes and friends good
words for Flagstaff. If we give them
the royal welcome we should we will
receive some real advertising. This
is the first frateYnal convention Flag
staff has had for long time and IS
probably the forerunner of many
more of this nature. They are among
the biggest assets any town can have.
The advertising equals many thous-
ands of dollars spent in descriptive
pamphlets and literature.
The biggest problem has been the
housing. The hotels have responded
splendidly, but they cannot accommo-
date the majority of these people.
The townspeople have responded
wonderfully also, but more rooms
will be needed You may list eth
er with F. NJ. Gold, Mrs Emma Lehr,
or any other Odd Fellow or Rebekah.
This convention is non-profit en-
deavor on the part of the local |. ..
o. F. lodge. All expenses of enter
tanning the grand lodge will be borne
by the local Odd Fellows and Rebek-
abs and no solicitation whatever Tor
donations has been or will be made.
All that the citizens are asked to do
is to cooperate in the matter OF
rooms, and decorating and making
the visitors feel at home during their
stay here. The local lodges are more
than pleased with the cooperation
they have already received from the
other fraternal organizations and m
dividuals of the town, the Masons and
EIks having extended the use Of their
lodge halls during the grand lodge
sessions, and the citizens having re-
sponded in a fine manner III every
thing they have been asked to do.
Flagstaff should be and could be
the convention city of Arizona, If the
different fraternal and civic organ
izations would put forth the same un-
selfish effort as the Odd Fellows and
Rehekahs have in this instance.
The following is complete pro-
gram of the grand lodge sessions,
and all qualified Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs in town on the convention
davs are cordially urged to attend
any and all of the different grand
lodge sessions, and all Odd Fellows
and Rebekahs will be welcomed at
the social entertainments.
Mayor |. B. Koch will deliver adj
dress of welcome.
