cred herself with glory on last Tues
day night when, in company with
Grand Shepherd Ora Brown Stokes,
Susie H. Robinson and Susie J. Will
hams, set apart large Fold of Shep-
herds at Midlothian. From all indl-
cations she is going to set the pace
for a number of our workers tins
year. She is a member of the Of
flee force.
Deputy Fannie B. Taulron was as
good as her word in that she did
not leave Toronto, Ohio, until she
had set apart a nice Fold. She is
using the crook in very effective
manner these days.
Deputy F. j. Dias, who is now in
New Jersey, was successful in rein

Nd.
We feel proud of the new Fold
which was set apart on the 9TH at
Emporia by Secretary A. c. Clark.
Daughter Dora Powell deserves much
credit for the organization Of this
Fold.
Grand Shepherd Ora Brown Stokes
and Grand Legal Advisor c. A. Nc
A.. Kenzie are still smiling over their
success in setting apart big Fold
in Newport News on the 9Th. This
is the second Fold in Newport News

fluential citizen of the city. We
doff our hats to DR.. Thomas, Mrs.

lust like tree planted by the
water that cannot be moved"
What Fold will accept this chaI-
lenge and move this Fold down?
Deputy Eliza Berkeley slipped out

paign when she reported the organi-
